Lunoxx Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 A couple of years I started using an excessive amount of pedals to create synthy tones, going the classic oc2-fuzz-filter route. Currently rebuilding my board but will upload a few pictures soon in the pedalboard thread. Anyways... I'm still playing my good old Fender MiJ Jazz Bass that's with me since 2008 with rounds. However, quite often I read in forums discussing synth bass tones that people prefer flats for this type of music, and certain types of basses (big discussions between p or j, some say that shortscales are perfect as they have plenty of low end and you only play in the higher frets anyways, etc...). I had flats on my JB a few years ago but didn't like them for the music I was playing then. However, now I'm actually toying with the idea of trying flats again to see how that affects the sound I got from my pedals. What's your take on this? Would it be worth trying flats again, or potentially even getting a second bass to have both options? I can get a nice shortscale for a good price atm, but don't know if it's worth trying or if the difference will be very subtle... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
