I appreciated this demo. It was nice not to hear slap or aimless noodling around on the blues scale. My favorites in tone were the Music Man and the Hofner. People usually say Music Man is brighter than other basses, but this one was one of the bassiest options you played.

@@bapt_andthebasses Sure. But if they are all set "flat," as I assume these were, the Music Man would normally sound the brightest. If you roll back on the tone, of course the Music Man is going to sound darker. But I doubt he had the tone rolled back on only that specific instrument. It's true that a Music Man is more warm and versatile than it's given credit for, though.

@@rome8180 I'm not sure if you can roll the tone of such a MM, because it's only active (if I'm not mistaken ?). The description says it's all flat, BUT, a Cab simulation was engaged!

@@bapt_andthebasses Huh, you can "roll the tone off" in an even more powerful way since it's active (bass up, treble down). And the Stingray is more versatile than the P for sure and it's about even with the J. There's a TON of sounds you can get from a single sweet position pick-up + active EQ, from scooped mids slapping to heavy mids picking and everything in-between. P only gets you 2 sounds (tone up or tone down) and Jazz gets you a few more but not too many.

Spector and Fodera were my personal favorites. Other brands just dont reach that sort of tone without Eq.

The other basses don’t meant to do by any means the same dry hifi fodera or cutting spector tone at all, each bass have it’s own personality, that’s why there many different bodies, scales, pickups, woods and builds on basses

First P Bass and the Mustang are my picks.

The Stingray suprised me most. I'll always be a P guy, but that Stringray had some comparable low down girth I was not expecting with that pickup placement.

Ive been listening to so much King Gizzard that i adore the Mustangs sound. How is it so recognizeable to my ears?

Thunderbird fits this song the best. Also liked the Fodera, I'm a PJ guy

I'd say Warwick Thumb or Fodera sounded best overall, but the Fender Mustang fit the song the best

Music Man and Hofner. Would have liked to see a Yamaha BB in the mix!

Sounds like you have the toned rolled off on the Stingray and have some overdrive on the Mustang...

Something is wrong with that MM. Perhaps dieing preamp battery? They always have a high cut to the tone on top of the bottom end. Unless you have the eq off by accident

Did you roll the tone off on the Stingray? It sounds like it.

How did the fodera feel? I'll probably never touch one. But I don't think they sound super special for the price. But there is obviously something to them.

The hofner sounded pretty boomy to me, normally it'd sound that way when the bridge pup's turned off, or maybe it's just me.

The player is playing too close to the bridge for me to get any real idea of how these basses would sound in my hands. My right hand position is a good 3" further toward the neck. On a Fender Jazz, the neck pickup is my thumb rest. That's how you get solid rock tone. Playing close to the bridge like that leads to anemic tone, too heavily weighted toward high partials and no *oomph* in the bass register.
