@JM-qz1ykمنذ 5 سنوات Carol Kaye set the tone for LA studio hits. That's another factor. Producers want to chase that hallowed and authoritative tone of hers that fit so id="hidden3" class="buttons"> well in the mix. Flatwound strings appear on many more recordings than you'd expect if all you know is music store and garage band basses strung with rounds. She also used to put a piece of foam just in front of the bridge often when she used rounds to dampen sustain and remove the bright edge. Of course, Geddy Lee, Chris Squire, John Entwistle, Mr. Larry Graham all had different ideas and their sounds worked in the mix for the styles of their band. The real lesson is the producer and the engineer will decide what sound they want you to have, not you. ....وسعت 67

@mastod0n1منذ 3 سنوات I'm a J bass player and I love the sounds I can get out of it. When I first bought it I spent months messing around with different tone and pickup id="hidden13" class="buttons"> volume knob combinations, different strings and different right hand positions to really get a feel for the sounds the instrument was capable of. Plus the smaller neck profile fits my hand better. But I'll never hate on a P bass, some of my favorite bassists use one but it's just not my go-to. I've also gotten some of my favorite bass tones from a buddy's entry level Ibanez bass and one time I got an old Squier bronco bass to sound incredible. Still not sure how I pulled that off but pedals, preamps, compressor settings, and amps and cabs and microphones also make a huge difference in sound. The bass itself is probably the most important but it's also just one part of the equation. ....وسعت 3

@

@soundmanksمنذ 5 سنوات This points out something most musicians just can’t get. The most important job of an engineer is to create pockets of space for each instrument, in the mix. Active basses sound really amazing, but that high end “sparkle” totally interferes with guitar, snare, and some vocals. As nice as that sound might be to the player, if it can’t be dropped into the pocket between kick and snare, it will never sound like it really belongs there, and other instruments may suffer terribly. The difference between session players and everyone else is the willingness to do what is best for the project, and leave your personal feelings and preferences at the curb, outside. In fact, why not also be considerate of your band’s sound engineer, and allow him the same opportunity? What if it really does make for a better sound for the whole band? ....وسعت 565

@RadicalChodمنذ 5 سنوات Many years ago, my best friend at school (still my best friend) starting learning bass and, because he was a huge Iron Maiden fan at the time, got a Squire id="hidden40" class="buttons"> P-Bass. As a guitarist I've always found that the sacrifice you make with Squires is of consistent build quality. My first guitar was a Squire and it was horrible, but I've also encountered a handful in my time that were out of the box superb. This P-Bass was one of them.
About two years later he sold it to purchase a 6-string Yamaha active bass, and it was the saddest I have ever been over a friend selling a piece of gear. He still uses the Yamaha (he now also has a fretless version of the same bass as his main), but God I miss that P-bass.
About fifteen years later a friend wanted to do a metal band and because we lived together and I thought it might be fun, I offered to get a bass and play for him. I was dead set on a P-bass but he insisted that it would need an active five-string, so I ended up relenting and getting that. Predictably, nothing ever came of the project, and now every time I record demos of my own I have to use that stupid five-string, wishing it was a P-bass. Sometimes it literally makes me want to stop recording.
There is, however, a happy ending in that I'm a talentless hack who shouldn't be making music anyway. ....وسعت 17

For instance, I have an old Fender Jazz bass that was about $400.00 when I bought it used and I would put it up against any bass out there. It sounds that good. Also, Geddy Lee bought his first Fender Jazz Bass for $200.00. That very bass (not modded in any way) is played on Moving Pictures on the track “Tom Sawyer”. I’m sure you’ve heard of that song.

Before that, my primary was a MusicMan id="hidden60" class="buttons"> StingRay. That said, as great as MusicMan is, they really only do one thing, which is to provide thunder. Whereas, a jazz humbucker is capable of thunder, but you can also make it sound like individual jazz pickups, all depending on where you set your tone knob.

I would rather have something that can do several different things, instead of something that can only do one thing, no matter how great it is at that one thing.
As for the way an instrument sounds, most of that can be fixed by adjusting the EQ on your amplifier, and by knowing how much or how little to increase your tone knob. ....وسعت 1

@rbilleaudمنذ 5 سنوات Sort of like the Strat, you can use it for anything. As musicians, we can tell the difference, of course, between a Les Paul and a Strat, and we think id="hidden61" class="buttons"> it's like this gigantic gulf between the two, but I can play the same song on both guitars, and my non-musicians friends are like, yeah, there may be slight difference, but we don't really notice it. Sounds just as good on both. And of course, I have a Strat copy with HSS pups, so the difference is even less apparent when I'm on the bridge pup. ....وسعت 1
