ID this bass sound..

Been listening to a bit of Miaow recently.. Not a band I had come across before, but remind me of the monochrome set amongst others..

Anyone care to suggest what the bass/amp is to get this sound.. It sounds very middy to me, not necessarily something I like, but quite unusual and good because of that.

Not really my bag, but I van see the appeal. There's a bit on them on [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miaow_%28band%29"]Wikipedia[/url], & some more at [url="http://www.lilypadrecords.com/miaow.htm"]Lilypad Records[/url].

This suggests a Jazz of some description:



& there's a clear shot of a Carlsbro amp (prob. guitar). The one other photo on Lilypad's site suggests that they weren't gearheads by a long chalk, so likely to be generic & cheap C.1985-7. That or Junk Shop Specials.

Heavy on the chorus though - typical '80s
