À bass with à kind of Victor wooten sound

À.k.à. Bass thats good to Play his kind of music with.

 

[bread903]

I felt the MTD KZ series has a bit too thick neck profile.

By the way, if you want his sound, why don't you go for a Fodera?

Change to a smaller car, man.

 

[Big_Daddy]

A long scale bass (extra frets) and a Jazz bass pickup configuration. Everything else is in the EQ and technique.

Edit//
turns out it's a bass with the P/J configuration.

 

[spade2you]

I don't really think either will have much of a Wooten sound.

 

[mmbongo]

Victor uses a Fodera with (primarily) EMG P/J pickups. I'd start there. Or at least try for the EMG P/J's if you can't afford a Fodera.

 

[enricogaletta]

if you're looking for a bass "similar in sound" probably between this too the Mtd will fit better.

Scale length has nothing to do with the amount of frets. You can have a 30" scale bass with 36 frets or a 37" scale bass with 2 frets.

Get pretty much any active bass and make sure it's constantly strung with fresh strings. There's nothing 'signature' about Vic's sound, you can get it from any bass.

The specs for Vic's bass can be found here: http://www.fodera.com/Main/NewBornDetails.aspx?FeaturedItemID=85

I'd suggest looking for something with similar qualities / features to begin with.

Were I looking for something similar I'd probably look for something used, perhaps something like a Peavey Dyna Bass with an alder body/maple neck and P/J config that I could drop a set of EMG pups in. The Pope pre may present a problem but any quality 3 band pre should work well for you.

why not just go for the Yin Yang standard, says it retails for a thousand bucks, wich looks cheaper than the MTD.

You can play "his kind of music" on most any bass.
I'd go with a 4 string emg equipped active bass and really thin strings.

 

[ifender]

No no no no!!!!

 

[ifender]

So, the question could be rephrased as...

What's the best bass for Wooten?
