Dingus Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 This clip has made me unhappy with both my own equipment and my own playing , so thanks for that , Pete ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted July 27, 2013 Author Share Posted July 27, 2013 Funny how he still sounds like him though, maybe it is all in the fingers after all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I was surprised how the F and Fodera sounded great in the higher registers, but were bland/almost inaudible in the meat and potatoes area, whereas the likes of the P, J, 'Ray, Ricky were all pretty consistent across the range. Nice clip, thanks for posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I think it's because good players can make a decent instrument "speak" in a way that lesser players never can , regardless of what equipment they are using .

Nice clip, thanks for posting. [/quote] I agree entirely with that observation . This and a lot of other well-recorded You Tube clips reinforce my conviction that a lot of more modern hi- fi , hi -tech boutique basses sound too polite and too slick for my tastes nowadays . The more vintage-style fretted basses with a bit of grunt , grunge and clank sound far better to my ears . I love some of those upright-sounding fretless basses , too . I could have [u][i]a lot [/i][/u]of fun playing one of those . Edited July 27, 2013 by Dingus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbobothy Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 That was really very nice, as usual more practise needed on my part ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve-soar Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 The sound of the Rob Allen Deep 5 was something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was another lovely sounding, very similar build fretless, a Veilette? These kinds of bass really appeal, but as I'd probably only get to play them at home, their not financially viable for me, lotto win notwithstanding.

Clarky Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Wow, that guy can play and what a collection. Although I don't like the look particularly the Adamovic was the stand-out soundwise for me and the Toby Chennell Arco acoustic bass the most GAS-inducing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
