Soundclips: My Lakland vs. Squire vs. Warwick - which is which?

[GassieBall]

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.)

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: Invalid Link Removed

clip 3 is the passive warwick. its the only one i remotely like. the other 2, couldnt tell you.

 

[narud]

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

 

[mattygbass]

im guessin the same as narud

 

[250GBsOfAwesome]

Yeah, I was going to say Lakland, Squier, Warwick.

 

[debassr]

1 Warwick
2 Lakland
3 Squier

 

[DeliriumTremens]

I liked no 1 the most... I'd hope it's the Lakland

 

[realbadgroove]

1 Lakland
2 Warwick
3 Squier

 

[bassfishin]

2. Warwick
3. Squire

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!

Lakland
Squier
Warwick

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

 

[Amitio]

I liked No. 1 the most. so i have to go lakland squier warwick.

 

[Joe Nerve]

I'm gonna guess:

Squier
Lakland
Warwick

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.

Squier
Lakeland
Warwock

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.
