I think it’s a subject that’s been done to death so many times that I don’t bother to do more than acknowledge the latest thread’s existence, but I thank you for your continued commentary on my actions.

Bunion Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Most of my tone comes from the amount and density of beer I’ve had, no consumption I’ll agree it might be off, low consumption and it’s fine, medium consumption and your having a laugh, finally high consumption, bass down, I’m off the stage “I AM THE BAND!” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellzero Posted April 19, 2021 Author Share Posted April 19, 2021 @Geek99 : What secret do you know about wood and tone that I might not know after 3 decades of never ending research, more than 300 basses owned and played, quite the same amount of amps, many gigs and concerts, a few recorded albums, having owned my own (little) recording studio, having recorded other musicians quite a lot and done so many experiments concerning tone, having built my own instruments and amps, having set up and repaired thousands of basses and amps, having exchanged a lot with top of the top electrical and classical luthiers ? Please. You can, of course, PM me which would avoid starting again the whole shebang. Please enlighten me. That said, I'll take the cake and the party bag that you never gave me @ped... 😭 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geek99 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) I thought I had made it clear that I no longer want to be involved in this topic, and fairly rapidly now, in much else on this site i feel like that seal being chucked up out of the surf on David Attenborough’s Life on Earth Edited April 19, 2021 by Geek99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassybert Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 After reading through this thread quickly it's safe to say I have absolutely no idea at all what's going on, but I feel like I'm suffering some sort of really bad LSD flashback. On the flipside though, I've found the bit starting from 18:35 in the original video the perfect example to use when someone asks why I really hate slap bass, so every cloud and all that. Think some soothing Family Man basslines are much needed at this point... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linear Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Just wanted to check: I haven't read a single post in this thread, but I assume the conclusion was that tone definitely doesn't come from wood? I mean, anyone who has spent more than three minutes of never ending research with a bass guitar would have to be pretty daft to think otherwise, right?

Both fight differently. 😜 Actually, I've brought my own - artisanally made from swedish mahogany and kiln roasted fightwood. The guy who constructed it assures me the blend gives better reach at mid range. He charges an extortionate sum for these, but he's been making them for thirty years without ever taking a break, so I've no reason to doubt him.
