Hi, is there anyone among you who has expierence with (one of) these basses and can tell me how they cut through the mix in a band that is mostly playing Swamp-Rock?
I never played either of these basses and I'm not in the capebility of doing so.
So any input is welcome!!!!

Thanks!

Swamp Rock is more about the rhythm than the notes. Just get a fat, full tone with not much going on up high and you'll be in the ball park. You shouldn't need to "cut through" unless you're being swampped by your guitarist. Sort him out, swamp rock is about the rhythm and the spaces.

Creedence is good but for me the king of this style is Tony Joe White.

Most of the guys I've seen are playing a Pbass of one type or another.

....I know there are other perfect basses around! Just need to know about the tree above mentioned....

Just make them sound like a £300 Precision.

In concept the AC will be closest.

I'm partial ;) but in my experience the Sadowsky M5 has the advantage since the neck PU is pulled slightly more backwards compared w the more traditional placement on the F-bass and the AC. Also the soapbars have a stronger mid punch than single coil type pu's.
