[Darknut]

Here is a sound clip that has 4 basses.

1: 1976 Fender P bass w/active EMG pups (1983 vintage)
2 :USA Cirrus 5
3: 1960's EKO violin Bass
4: Squire P Bass defretted w/1983 USA Fender passive pups

All recorded direct ... no amp modeling

Can you tell which is which?

Shouldn't be that hard .... at least for 2 of them

2,3,1,4?

Just a quick guess on 1 listen....

 

[4stringPhlegm]

2,1,3,4
is my guess...

 

[fightthepower]

Im not expert, but I'm thinking 2, 1, 3, 4

The first one sounds similar to an active jazz and Im guessing the Cirrus is active with the jazz configuration. The second and fourth sound like Pbass's, and number 3 is an easy one

 

[Kyon`]

I almost want to say 1,2,3,4

Me too.

I almost went 1234 but that first one was so loud...had to be active pickups, so out went 3. The second one had more of a P bass sound, so that lead to the 2134. I'm sure I'm not the only one who reasoned it out this way. Good job on achieving a pretty even sound on all of the clips! Well...the fretless was a give away, but cool test.

2134-nice p sound on number 2!Punchy mids!
