Thanks so much for all the replies, opinions and help - all noted and appreciated. Working back I didn't check the pickup height/angle for the bass with the issue in question although I will do again in future if I spot anything as I intend to commit to buy something asap - I will repeat the...

Apologies for any confusion or errors in specific terminology used to try to describe my questions and concerns. The bass that sounded 'best' to me has a note on the low E that is clearly bigger/louder when looking at the recorded DAW waveform at the points when played. Moreover to my ears this...

Thanks for the replies so far and I appreciate what's being said. I'm just wondering if this consideration should put me off or if it is a genuine consideration - Its not possible to go altering ie pickup heights with a screw driver in a shop to test. I guess it got me thinking as to what is...

Hi, just wondered if anybody could help/advise? Please excuse my ignorance here - Im looking for a bass for home recording and have concluded a P Bass sound is sonically what im after and the fact it is split coil is relevant for pickup noise cancellation which appears an issue in my set-up. I...

I agree, the High Z impedance is slightly ‘better’ to my ears for me. Appreciate it may be subjective and dependent on the bass, playing style, strings etc again. Cheers for this

It’s just confusing as my p bass recordings to my ears sound mid heavy if anything not scooped in comparison. Moreover Ive looked at the match eq inside logic and whilst appreciating it’s not an exact science in comparison to the ‘other’ recording, my P bass has significantly more high mids and...

Hi, thanks for the reply. I’m just recording so that’s the context. Never gonna play the bass live. Sorry - can you just re clarify which one you think is mid scooped ? What sort of frequency area are we broadly taking given mids can be anything from 250hz-2khz in some folks eyes/ears… As...

Hi again, thanks for the recent help/advise in relation to my recent post '1980s Fender American P Bass - Pickup/Sound dilemma post. To conclude as suggested, below are links to x3 short audio clips (all DI no processing) to help with my questions/issues and to articulate the difference in the P...

Hi again, given the suggestion I have attached x3 short 320kps mp3's to help with my questions/issues and to articulate the difference in the P bass I tried in the shop tone i seem to prefer against mine as is. These are simple lines serving some song ideas. Im not a great player at all i...

Hi, appreciate your thoughts as well. To be honest that’s exactly what I’ve done as well and most of them (appreciating some are definitely P basses but some may not be or are not). Some maybe DI some clearly from an amp some maybe a mix of sources… All of them sound incredible to me and sound...

Thanks for this. I think I’d like to give 1 set of ceramic pickups a go even if it’s to satisfy my curiosity/understanding of something that will offer as much ‘difference’ as is possible without changing wiring etc. Was looking at the Aguilar DCB ceramic pair but appreciate there are many...

I have little ego man so that’s fine and agree I need to improve my playing and the set up matters perhaps need to be addressed. That said I think some of my thoughts, experiences and questions are fair to ask particularly having these other p basses I recorded myself before (although very...

Hi, thanks again. I’m not going to be playing live so it’s for record exclusively. I couldn’t record a bass amp at home although appreciate this would be great. Having to record di realistically. Mind end up with a newer instrument if I exhaust all other avenues and try all I can Cheers again

Thanks for this too. I appreciate the point re the pickups I tried as I mentioned this at the very start. I’m just trying to understand what best to do without butchering the instrument incase I wish to sell on given its vintage ish now and didn’t know if there was much point in trying different...
