P bass Shootout Sound Comparison Video


Obra

Recommended Posts

I just had a chance to have all of these beautiful basses at the same time in my studio for a weekend.

I used it to make a sound comparison video of 6 Precision type bass guitars, 5 Fender and an alien - Maruszczyk.
Always wanted to test different eras and different price range P basses.

 

All the info about the basses and the recording is under the video at YT.
Hope You will enjoy and let me know what You think about it ☺️.

Sunburst f sure 👌.

What was your fave playing them though??

All of them was fun to play. They all have P bass sound, but fell a little bit different.

However, 1968 has something unexplainable in it, maybe the years has something with it, but the feel of 1968 is different then the others.

With a pick, the Vintage '62 pickup of the reissue seems slow to sound, dulls the crispness of the attack. The CS '57 on the postmodern seemed much better, as did the Aguilar on the Maruszczyk. For my taste, the fatness of the tone of Quarterpounder seems to come at the expense of clarity, doesn't seem to capture the resonance cleanly. The 1968 seemed perfect!

 

(I was looking forward to seeing how much those thoughts changed when hearing them played unmuted fingerstyle, but the Steve Harris line was a bit too frenetic for that  😅 )

You are absolutely right about that, but it wasn't more time for me to record a different line
