hamfist Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 OK, I did a redo of the demo video this morning. But I chose to go straight into the pre-amp in my mixing desk, instead of via my bass amp. I'm not sure the 55-02 is a great match to my bass pre-amp, and going straight into a flat hifi (ish) desk pre-amp probably gives the "purest" tones I guess. Anyway is this a better video ? It's shorter also. I chose one riff, which demos all 5 strings, and chose only 5 different pickup configurations, so the whole thing is much quicker for folks to hear the whole array of tones. Anyway the new one is ..... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9S1vkTTNFs&feature=youtu.be"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9S1vkTTNFs&feature=youtu.be[/url] For reference, the old one is ...

LukeFRC Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 way better. I did wonder why it sounded so bad compared to the warwick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingus Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Sounds great to me . These Skylines sound just as good as the handmade USA Laklands . Looks good in natural ash too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smythe Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) I'd love to get a 55-02. I have a 44-02 in the same finish and its the best bass I've ever played, I'll never part with it. Ive played the 55-01 and loved how playable it was for a five string which was alien to me at the time I nearly bought it but i went away without buying the bass to have a think about it, returned to the shop the week after to buy it and it had sold . i ended up buying a Yamaha TRB1005J which is as playable , not as good electronics and double the price nearly...

JTUK Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 In the context that you have presented the demos... I prefer the re-done tones as solo'd The Live soundman might prefer to work with some of the tones of the earlier demo tho... All in the context.. I work from good tones that complement my style...and I concentrate of delivering a good enough sound..again, IMO..that the engr doesn't have to chase sounds. This works because getting the sound is quick..and it is not too far removed from what I want as it is all there anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
