    Here are some soundclips I quickly made. The basses are going straight into a PreSonus Firepod into Garageband with no effects. Pardon the sloppy playing.

    This all came about from my other thread on making my Squier more like my Lakland

    So which clip is which bass? (This shouldn't be too hard.)
    Clip 1
    Clip 2
    Clip 3

    Your choices are (not in any particular order):
    Squier VM 70's Jazz with Basslines SJB-2's and Audere JZ3 (flat)
    Warwick Passive Standard Corvette Ash
    Lakland DJ 4 with Lakland Pickups

    The original Lakland recording I tried to spoof is from Lakland: Fingerfunk, both pickups, rounds

    im going to say
    1 is the lakland
    2 is the squire (guessing this because i hear less upper mid detail and grind that im going to attribute to the preamp)
    3 not a jazz bass;)

    No idea on the bass......I'd have a stab that 3 may be the warwick as its the growliest. Also, your playing is NOT sloppy, you sound pretty good to me man!

    Having never heard any of these basses, I'm going to say Lakland, Warwick, Squier.

    I'm not sure which is which but I like clip 3 the best. The other two sound too midrangy for my taste.

    Funny, I thought clip 3 had the most midrange, the most growling low mid anyway. The other two were more upper mid.

    Thanks for the replies, guys. This is pretty interesting. I thought it would be pretty cut and dry. All three have, however, jazz/jazz pickups.

    The passive basses had everything wide open. The Audere was set at flat with the Z-switch in the mid position.

    Anyone want me to throw in a recording of a Sterling or Bongo?

    Or how about my L2000 in the passive single coil mode. That'll really complicate things. :)

    I guess:

    1. Lakland - more defined and clean
    2. Squier - less body but sounds single coil-like
    3. Warwick - more low mids and meaty growl

    I hope I'm right.
    That was also my order of preference 1,2,3.

    All sound nice anyways.
