|  | Yeah, I've got the moves like Jagger. | | Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: G.R. MI | | | I said upper midrange, but you left out "The sound Rickenbacker makes". For me, that is the definition of GROWL!

Stingray + Ampeg = GROWLLLLL

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Brussels | | | it's hard to define sound with words. i remember a thread about the most puncy bass, and every bass immaginable has been named in that thread, proving that 'sound' means differnt things to everyone.
in essence, growl is the holy grail of tone and there are a million ways of getting there.
don't forget the strings you are using, i'm convinced that 50% of your tone comes from them. |

That is growl in my opinion. Plus I love the ending of the video.
For me it's high mids and that "hitting the rails" sound. Whether you get it from a GK, Ampeg, a Jazz bass or whatever else, it sounds good.
