Shootout, Sadowsky, Stenback, de Gier, Fodera.

Sadowsky yes, Stenback, no. Lundgren pups.

Sorry... the Sadowsky is single-coil? Thanks!!!!

Sorry I wasn’t very clear. The sad has humcancelling pups, is that single coil? But the SB surely single coil.

The first time listening to this was at work through my phone and very cheap Bluetooth speaker. All of the basses sounded great and your fantastic inspiring playing as usual. My favorite was the Sadowsky. Tonight I listened again with high quality headphones and still think the Sadowsky sounds the best.

@roogbass a little off topic but have you ever tried AV (Vychodil) basses? Seems to fit your bill for boutique Jazz 5 with European tilt to it (like DeGier). Would be interested to hear your thoughts on them

 

[Pet Sounds]

I picked the Fodera, but each of these is great in its own way! Wonderful playing, too.

Yes I tried a 5string P bass at bassmatters, it was a good bass. But didn’t try it long enough and in a mix situation to really know how good it is. That’s why I like to make the clips, you really hear how a bass sits in the mix. Especially since I use RX9 to remove the original bass.

What is RX9, a track removal app or something? I honestly don't know.

It’s an app that can separate a track in for tracks. Drums, bass, vocals, the rest.
You can export them separately and import them in you DAW and do whatever suits you.

Thanks for the info Mr. Roog. Funky playing too BTW, well done!

Sadowsky then Fodera, then Stenback, then De Gier.

I'd take any of them by the Sadowsky has the edge for me.

 

[Bass4LifeRS]

First off, I am glad/sad that I actually can hear the differences. Ignorance is much cheaper
For me the Sadowsky sounded the best. The Fodera stuck out as probably a great soloists instrument! Would love to hear the same basses played over the neck pickup too.

 

[ChetChetney]

Those are all great basses, I chose the Fodera. They are on another level relative to the other basses in your list from my experience.

Sadowsky overall in this context, but liked the Stenback a lot. A case of Maple v Rosewood..assuming it is Rosewood.

It’s Rosewood indeed.

I'm late at the party, but stumbled on your video just recently.
I like them all to be honest.
Love your playing, including you allowing yourself some free interpretation of the great late Louis Johnson.

 

[Element Zero]

Song?!?!?

 

[pepj]

Stomp.

Stomp.

Holy moley. What a gem. Down the rabbit hole I go.
