Fun game - GUESS THAT BASS!

I voted Stingray, the bass sound on those tracks really remind me of Flea's tone from BSSM.

Sounds great btw!

 

Definately not characteristic Precision and it didn't have the goose honk typical of Laklands. Between the MM and Jazz I say Jazz.

 

On BSSM Flea used a Wal, not a Stingray.

On topic, I think its a jazz.

 

Um... is it by any chance a '70s style Fender Jazz?

There is more than a little compression on there. That is pretty well squashed.

Not a lot of identifiable characteristics to that sound. Where Fender P and Jazz have a distinct sound as does the Musicman, this is sort of nondescript. It sounds more Fender-like than Stringray.... It's a Lakland 5 string.

 

Flea used a Wal on BSSM, i love his tone there too

 

lakkie!

 

Dunno. None of the files will download for me.

 

I voted stingray but then again I've never heard a Lakland

 

I voted Lakland, cause that's all the gear you have in your profile.

 

Its not a Fender, and its not a Stingray, so that leaves Lakland.

 

Nice playing by the way. Track 1 "Acid Jazz" sounds like an entirely different bass to me than the other 2. On the motown track I heard a hi-fi sounding pop so I would say Stingray but it sounds like there is a lot of coloration from a compressor, EQ, or something because no one particular signature bass sound is heard on any of these tracks. I'd say the bass has active electronics so it would be the Lakland or the Stingray. I've never heard a Lakland so I'll go with Stingray. If it's a Stingray, its gotta be an older one because it was pretty round and fat, yet crisp sounding compared to the more modern Rays.

 

'Current Setup:
Lakland Darryl Jones 4
Lakland Skyline 55-02'

My guess would be it's a Lakland 02.

 

Same here - The file wouldn't even download for me.

Doh. Still sounds like a stingray to me

 

From what I've heard I'm 50/50 on Lakland and EBMM. I know that you can get a really close MM sound from a 55-02 so I'm up in the air, but I do know that you own a Lakland, I've seen it posted before, so I'm finalizing my decision as a Lakland 55-02.

 

Wouldn't it be a 5-string something or other? I voted Lakland.

Nice playin', btw.

 

I voted 'Ray. The only one I could elminate right away was the P-bass- the tone made me think bridge position pickup for the first clip and for the others I was thinking active electronics.

When to you announce the winner??
