Bass Tone Question

[Gareth2]

Hey Guys

Kinda a question of behalf of my kids band. They recorded a song and maybe have listened to it too many times, but whats your thoughts on the tone of her bass.

And how can it be changed for the next song?

Any ideas appreciated.

Thanks 

Gareth

What bass is she using ?

Sounds like she's got a little drive and a slight delay on her sound. No bad thing. My only criticism is that the longer notes aren't sustaining very well. Looking at her nails, they may be too long and she's playing very flat-fingered, which can create that sort of sound. Otherwise, maybe the bass just has very old and dead strings. A new set would brighten things up and increase sustain  

 

As @Geek99 mentioned, what is that bass..? (It looks like one of the modern active Squiers to me...)

Without hearing the next song it would be hard to say.  She delivers the punch needed for the sample I heard though.  Not bad at all.

 

Best regards to her and her band.
