Off Topic In studio, bass finished ......

Few shots while waiting on the geetard player !! Love this bass

How do you like the tone of this bass compared to your others EBMMs? I am considering this pup config (Hss) or maybe the standard HH. I have read in other threads that the HSS sounds a little different because the H pup is closer to the bridge, and not exactly on the sweet spot.

 

[DTG]

Love it using middle pup in passive with tone rolled nearly off ! My favourite is H and middle active

 

[jlepre]

BTW LOVE that TOP! Do you think this bass can get the same signature Single H tone?

 

[DTG]

Not quite, when I want a single H sound I grab my sr5. But what does blow me out of the water is the single H in active series mode it's it growls like an angry bear.

Beautiful looking bass !

That top's fantastic - is the 2nd pic with the bass sat on a chair as per Craig Young? I must admit I've been influenced by this technique as well.

Great pics.

 

[DTG]

It was just sitting on my lap ! One might say I was fondling my ...... Never mind !

I redid the bass with my stingray 5 for the the crack today ! Great bass too

 

[five7]

You guys have crack over there?

 

[DTG]

Ha ha sorry man that should have been crac a bit different from crack !

 

[MrMusashi]

haha.. i think the word you are looking for is track.. track..

or perhaps you really meant crack

MrM

 

[DTG]

Lol sorry guys no no crac is an Irish word which means FUN very different to what it means on that side of the pond

 

[five7]

I'm sorry, I couldn't help it. The weather being what it is and the first of the month and all. I am sure your sr5 with your right hand coming down on it makes a mighty crack! Both basses would sound killer in any studio. Tear it up!

 

[DTG]

Cool man I was enjoying the banter in between the takes and making the coffee ;-) Back there again tomorrow so expect more nonsense to come !!

While I don't record with my bass -- I do have a nice JBL 4312 monitor system that I play along with. For fun, I routed the 25th 4HSS (with bass driver DI) through the monitors and discovered that this bass sounds wonderful in a recording/playback system. Sounds better in that set-up than through the bass amp. Lots of texture, overtones, and expression coming through.

DTG, do You record with this beautiful 25th using passive mode?

I ask, 'cause I'll have some studio recordings to do soon, just waiting my RX 5 HH to arrive, so I was wondering how it sounds passive in the studio?

 

[DTG]

It sound really cool I will see if I can get the bass tracks to put up so you can here them. Also here is what I am using today !!
