punk bass

[jubjub721]

wich would be better for punk bass playin like matt freeman
bongo or stingray

 

[silly]

if you want the sound of matt freeman
you want a Fender P Bass..

if you just wanna play punk..
get a Stingray! no other..

 

[fifthorange]

i play some punk and i use a stingray. it has a very punchy tone that you NEED for punk. mind you, i have never played a bongo.

 

[midopa]

I think you can get any tone with a Bongo. I picked one up recently and was amazed by the versatile EQ. So yeah, get a Bongo and be the first bassist in a punk band with a Bongo! Mwahaha.

If I were going to play punk, and I'm not, let's face it, I'd get one of those Paisley Fender Precisions.

 

[Aussie Mark]

But Jack, once the bass has been wrapped in duct tape for a really sick rad punk l@@k you wouldn't be able to see the paisley.

 

[fifthorange]

i dont think that a precision bass is the perfect punk bass, though it does sound good. i think a jazz bass is also good for punk, but that is just me. that is why i think that a musicman would be the best because it has multiple tones that are great for just about anything.

well
the washburn does have ductape holding the back board thingy on
u kno the thing that holds all the electronics

Well my Ibanez has a great tone for punk .. but I gotta say my Sterling is great ... I get sounds with that basses... I'm just simply drooling when I'm playin' with it !
I mostly play Punk-ska tho ... LEss Than Jake mostly ..and Roger uses a Sterling and he had a Ibanez SoundGear ( well I sorta am ltj freak and got the same models )

the P. Bass is okay I guess , amazing sound I can say ..but I don't trust much those lil pick ups , dunno why ..and I hate not having more control of the sound config .. just a Tone and a volume... okai with a EQ pedal it's cool ...i guess ...but I love having an EQ in my bass , and setting my own sounding and give it some plus with my Amp,s EQ .

Well I would say .. maybe bacause I'm not a long time bassist , but I love bass more than anything ...
It's not the bass that will make you a punk , but you will make it punkish .. it depends of if you use a pick , finger.. the Amp Settings ..the punk sounding you are looking for .. a deep not really audible background bass sounding or a punchy snappy like a Stingray with a mapple neck ... My Sterling is rockin' ! and my ibanez was too ! ( still is tho I don't use it much since I got my Sterling ) try hem .. pick the one you fall in love with !
