Rollin Thunder Posted Monday at 13:42 Posted Monday at 13:42 (edited) Some serious bass tone here, honest its all about that tone. (No sarcasm at all) https://www.facebook.com/share/r/18w6t47Liy/?mibextid=wwXIfr Edited Monday at 13:42 by Rollin Thunder Quote
Hellzero Posted Monday at 14:08 Posted Monday at 14:08 Are you really sure it's only about the tone? Quote

BigRedX Posted Monday at 15:09 Posted Monday at 15:09 All about context. That tone wouldn't suit any of the music I want to play. 1 1 Quote
neepheid Posted Monday at 16:56 Posted Monday at 16:56 It's a no from me, I'm really not very keen on that burpy tone, as well as it might be played. Quote
SteveXFR Posted Monday at 19:31 Posted Monday at 19:31 If that's serious tone, then I'll go for daft tone. There is no good or bad tone, only the right tone for the song. 1 Quote

Steve Browning Posted Tuesday at 07:26 Posted Tuesday at 07:26 Yes. I like it for the tune being played. Nice groove. Quote
Stofferson Posted Tuesday at 07:35 Posted Tuesday at 07:35 Great tone that, exactly what a bass should sound like Quote

fretmeister Posted Tuesday at 09:14 Posted Tuesday at 09:14 I like it, and I really like her signature model Fender. It actually makes such an old thing look fresh. 1 Quote

I prefer horribly obnoxious, aggressive tones! Or jaco tone or duffs tone or john paul Jones tone or stu hamm's tone, or Neil Murrays tone..... Quote
HeadlessBassist Posted Tuesday at 20:39 Posted Tuesday at 20:39 Yes, that rear humbucker on Blu's signature bass does sound huge - very much like a parallel Stingray. I've been wanting to try one of those Jazzes for a while, not that the blue sparkle/mirror finish is really me. 🫣 Quote
Cosmo Valdemar Posted Tuesday at 22:13 Posted Tuesday at 22:13 I'm always amazed when I see people play that close to the bridge. I mean, the strings hardly move! Quote
Geek99 Posted Tuesday at 22:47 Posted Tuesday at 22:47 I’ve never thought of playing there, maybe I should in a way it’s like the 70s pick-up position thing on a jazz, that is supposed to sound burpier Quote
paul_5 Posted Tuesday at 23:41 Posted Tuesday at 23:41 Great chops, but not a tone I'd be happy with. Quote

I'm not a fan of J/MM basses generally but unless I'm wrong that sounds like the bridge humbucker soloed or at least more bridge than neck. Edited yesterday at 05:58 by Terry M. Quote

It's all very personal though. Quote

BigRedX Posted yesterday at 07:30 Posted yesterday at 07:30 There's a lot more to bass than the tone in the OP and P-Bass with flats. 1 Quote
