New game--Guess the rig!

[dclaassen]

 Okay...I thought this might be fun. Use 30ish seconds of a tune from a gig or rehearsal, and we will guess what rig you are using....bass, amp, cabinet, effects (if any). Winners get to sit smugly on their throne of acoustic excellence...:)

 

Me first...this is from a rehearsal last night with a country band I am depping for later in the month. I'll give the solution when it seems appropriate...enjoy!

OK, I'll be the first to suggest the equipment in your signature just to get it out of the way.

I was thinking that you could pick it out just by listening....

P bass

Trace Elliot single 15” driver

1. Yup...kinda

2. Nope

3. Right head, wrong cab...

 

Good job, though!

[dclaassen]

Okay, so not such a cute idea.

I honestly don't know how anyone hears the difference. Bass is bass. Especially in a mix. I can't even tell the difference between different kinds of basses in a blind listen. 

[dclaassen]

Actually, I'm kinda with you. However, I see conversations all the time (not on THIS site, of course..:)...), that suggest that many bassist can hear the tiniest of differences. Just wondering how they do that....

 

For the record...this was my MPV5, 50/50 on the pickups, Flat on the tone, light gauge Elixer Nanoweb nickel rounds, played over the 24th fret: Trace GP12SMX/400SMX set "seagull" EQ, no pre-shape and the bass compression at 50% 60/40 tube preamp. 4x10 cabinet.

I have no doubt that some people can. Probably those who have years of experience playing through different rigs, or sound engineers who can pick up on the most subtle differences. 

 

I'm definitely not one of them. 😆
