ead Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 If it's just one song in a set, in a pub, with sub-optimal listening conditions then I suspect 50% of the way there will be good enough. We do one song that has a fretless bass intro and fretted for the rest, so I acquired a Zoom pedal that does a passable impression of a fretless bass for those few bars. So maybe you can find a solution with the bridge pickup and a multi effects pedal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagsieblue Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Has all been said above, but the key factors are the pickup type, sweet spot position and the EQ. The voicing on the EQ plays a major role in the Stingray Tone - I have a 1988 Stingray 2 EQ and it is the only bass I have where I do not boost the bass EQ up to approx 60 to 70% ! Mr EAD is right for the quick and dirty option - I have a Zoom B9 that has a "Flea MM" pre set sound. This does a very good impression of a Stingray with most basses, certainly good enough to approximate the tone in a live mix. Now I'm back in the gigging game my one bass solution for different core sounds is a Warwick $$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ead Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I don't think I've ever been right before (certainly not at ead towers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
