I’m out of the club currently. I had a Gene Simmons model, which played remarkably well. But the pickups were uneven, and had a bit of a noise issue. Probably my noisiest bass. And the low E was less distinct than the A D G, so it was tough to get usable consistent sounds when recording. It was probably my best playing bass, but when recording I always ended up using a different instrument. Anyone have any insight to this? Did I have a bad one? Electronics broken? Or its just how they sound so like it or leave it?
