Guess The Bass contest!
Was messing around with normal bass tones and came up with this ridiculousness.
There's a simple 1 bar bass pattern repeated over a drum loop in the player below.
I play the pattern twice with 4 different basses. So, bass 1 gets two passes, then Bass 2 gets 2 passes etc...
Your job - guess which bass is playing which pattern.
DETAILS:
The basses are all running thru the EXACT same processing chain which contains amp mod, distortion, eq & compression.
The settings were not changed from bass to bass.
The basses I used - 2 Fenders and 2 MTDs.
The Fenders:
American Fender Standard P Bass (2008)
Made In Mexico Fender Jazz w/ Nordstrand J pickups (passive)
The MTDs
MTD American 535 (active)
MTD Kingston w/Nordstrand MM style pickup (passive)
I also played the pattern 1 extra time at the end with one of these basses using a bit crushy type distortion effect. There's nothing in the sound that really gives it away so take a stab with a guess for bonus points!
