Copping this tone: Jazz vs Precision

Sure as hell sounds like a P to me.

You can tell the fret size on a recording?

 

Sounds like a P but when he digs in around :02 it sounds like a jazz bass.

 

Sounds like a jazz to me.

 

Deep lows plus glassy top = Jazz. I don't hear the "added overdrive/distortion," just the guy (or gal) digging in.

"Jumbo frets" = you've listened to this clip WAAAAYYYY too many times!!!

 

Seems like a jazz with rounds. No overdrive, just hard playing.

 

I was thinking that also.
What does a large fret sound like?

 

am I the only one who noticed that there are 5 tuning pegs that have string on them but the bridge only has 5 strings?

 

Jazz. Has to be.

 

Hmm, listened again and I do hear a lot of growl, does sound like a J.

I'm so easily influenced...

 

So much compression on the clip it is hard to hear what the heck it is. Sounds like a J to me...

 

100% sure it's a jazz...maybe 60% neck and 40% bridge, EQ'd with + low-mids

 

yeah just compared it to a j on youtube, with some comp and shiz, im convinced that its a j bass

though just had a brain snap, it could also be one of those Active Special Jazz basses with the p pickup?!?

 

What?

 

Not a 5th tuner, it's a string tree.


The clip is Jazz Bass for sure. Or my two P basses sounds completely wrong.

 

Or maybe it's just about anything run through modeling software.

 

Sounds like a Jazz 100% to me. Maybe having the neck pickup favored a wee bit.

 

Absolutely jazz. Not even a hint of P bass in that tone.
