Funk

[jnevi9nr]

lets say you want to bring the funk and some slap, whats your ideal setup for

1. bass
2. effect
3. strings
4. amp
5. pickups
6. other

 

[FelliniFlex]

1. Fender P-Bass/Fender Jazz Bass/MusicMan Stingray
2. Mu-tron III (nowadays maybe Electroharmonix Microbass Synth, Q-Tron)
3. DR High Beams
4. Ampeg, Aguilar DB751

 

[John Wentzien]

1. Fender Jazz
2. mult-band comp.
3. Dunlop SS 40-100
4. TC electronic RH450 w/ two rs212 cabs
5. SD "Hot" for jazz single coil
6>Bootsie sun-glasses!

 

[JTE]

1. My Lakland Deluxe 4-94, second choice would be a pre EB StingRay or one of the new EB reproductions.
2. EBS BassIQ envelope filter and EBS OctBass octave pedal
3. DR Hi-Beams
4. Eden WT-800 driving a D410XLT and a D212XLT
5. The Barts that are on my Lakland
6. A REALLY good drummer. Heck if I have that, none of the rest really matters.

Alternate take on "funk"... Substitute my VS '62 P bass with old flats for the Lakland. Keep everything else the same ('cause I don't have to step on the pedals). Rocco and Jerry Jemmott are both funk masters without a bit of slap.

[Kipaste]

In general

1. 70's ash bodied jazz bass
2. Ebs multicomp, EHX q-tron+ (with some distortion in the loop) and snarling dogs wah wah.
3. Definately ghs boomers for fat'n'warm vintage tone. DR fatbeams for modern, zingy stuff.
4. Ampeg svt with 8x10 (warm) Ebs fafner with 4x10 for modern.
5. True vintage style single coils. 70's stock pups will do just fine.
6. A post it note on my bass saying "play on the one baby bubbah"
