Ok I had this idea the other night right? Alot of people ask (including myself) for us to describe the sound of each different bass. But just how exactly do you describe the "warwick growl" etc? Well I thought maybe use this thread to put recordings of as many basses as we can, with all the details of the bass eg:

Recording Link
Bass:
Year:
Amp/Settings:
Strings:
And maybe a breif description of your bass' set up?

this way I can edit every post into this post and create a list! Hell if it goes well we could maybe even sticky it! Providing its usefull!

as a very good friend said to me
"It's more the man than the bass"
Having said that, good luck on your quest. There are definitely distinctive sounding basses though; Stingray, Fender Jazz, etc

well, i don't know if i'm doing this correctly, but here some tones produced by an SR-506, SR-3006, and BTB556.

as for more "dialed in" recordings of each bass, you can listen to my composed recordings:

it goes from the pretty nice to the horrendous. But, you get to hear the tones.
