Which is Which?

[iamoldschool]

I normally enjoy these comparison posts, so I'm going to try one. Below are links to three sound clips. One of them is my American Deluxe Jazz V strung with Fender rounds, another is my American Precision strung with D'adarrio Chromes and the other is my Schecter studio 5 strung with Chromes. See if you can tell which is which. I'll post the answers tomorrow evening.

i believe i am correct.

p.s. Studio-5's! i own one two and i loveeeee it;.

 

[iamoldschool]

Don't know how you voted as I didn't make it a public poll, but I will say this; I didn't make it easy. All three are EQ'd the same and I compensated for volume on the only one that is not active.

 

[quadebass17]

i voted 1. jazz 2. schecter. 3 precision.

its not easy. but my schecter strung with rotosound's has some beef to the tone, and clip two was the beefiest.
so i put that. I feel quite confident.
but i've never played chromes, nor have i done all that you did. i hope i'm right!

I had to record the Schecter three times to get the recording you hear. The tight string spacing was telling on me as I could hear my finger thump on the B string when playing the A. That's funny, though, because I had never really noticed it before. FWIW, I love the Studiio 5, too. It's my Number 2 and goes to every gig and always sees at least one full set.

I voted : Precision, Jazz, Schecter.

It goes without saying, this will be extremely difficult, as I don't have adequate experience with the jazz's and schecters , I'm just going by what I would expect from each pickup configuration.

...It all sounds like really good basses to me, that's for sure

Thanks! I can say that I am 100% happy with my selection of basses. Now, if only I could do something about the player.

P, J, Schecter

I've never heard a Schecter so it was kinda hard.

 

[Lammchop93]

Percision, Schecter, Jazz.

[ThatGermanDude]

[iamoldschool]

Nope. I wish.

I'm always rubbish at these. Ah well, out come the headphones...

I think we all wish we could walk into a store and buy mojo, to increase our skills

I hear ya'. Give me a large can of MOJO to go!

I'll be back on later tonight to check on the results and hopefully discussion. I'm taking the family to Bubba Gump's in Pigeon Forge this afternoon. Look for me, I'll be the guy in the TB hoodie!

I need one of those!!!

Percision, Schecter, Jazz.

+1.

 

[dryheatbob]

I voted p, s, j.

As for the "Mojo in a Can", be careful. I found a guy on the net selling the rattle can variety. It wears off way too fast and it's thin and runny.

I'm guessing P, Jazz, Schecter - number two undoubtedly has roundwounds on it and has that hint of jazz bass crispness. Number three sounds like it has cheap active pickups on it so I'm guessing Schecter.

#1 sounded like it'd come from a P, and #2 sounded like a J. I choose option #4.
