Three low-budget basses comparison

[olegst90]

Hi everybody! I have three basses, so I decided to compare them and recorded this simplistic loop. Sorry for bad skills, the goal was only to compare the sound. 

What do you think, which of them is the best and the worst?

 

 

AN.wav

VM P.wav

Y P.wav

for me on pc monitor speakers number 2 VM, quite like 1 AN as well - guessing 2 is a jazz type, 1 is a p type ?

I like (in order of best to worst)

AN (sounds nice and buttery)

Y (a little more hollow sounding)

VM (has that hollow sound that I dislike about P basses)

Quite the reverse, VM is P (or rather P/J in P mode), AN is J with solo'd neck pickup

Thanks for posting these Y is the most refined to my ears, VM would cut through nicely (no surprise), AN has a nice growl. All decent tones to be honest!
