This bass: Invalid Link Removed looks really interesting.
The tone is described as:
"The neck pickup comes in the traditional "Split" arrangement (1st & 2nd strings closer to the bridge, 3rd & 4th closer to the neck), originally designed for deep lows and clear highs and that's exactly what it sounds like. You get a powerful thump that is rich in low mids and also has excellent treble detail, especially with a pick.
The bridge split pickup, on the other hand, has the opposite arrangement, which has the effect of offerting tighter lows and sweeter highs. ¡Perfect!
When both pickups are mixed 50/50 (they are wired in parallel), you get a slightly scopped tone with great definition, attack and body. "
But it's kinda hard to imagine those tones. Anyone got a Youtube/soundcloud link of basses with similiar pickups?
