- What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?
This is a jazz sound gets bass.On Pastorius by focusing on micro aigu.Avec two microphones open that is a big funk / blues.Le micro raproche grave is the sound of the precision.Je repeats, regardless of the setting, the sound is authentic and has a low exquis.Cette its very open with lots of growl, but not vintage sombre.C 'is due to a combination of factors; notemment it is very light and the key is like rolling, This is not a key "slabboard" as the 62.La rosewood fingerboard is very fine.
- What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?
In my opinion this bass is made to be played with the tonalite ouverte.Ca gives a lot of growl and a lot of noise frettes.C is open, alive, very fender.Pour ca c 'is the best.
Some say that '62 reissue may have sound a bit more appropriate when seeking a well dark (tonalite mutated or old rope).
But all the sounds of '64 remain geniales.Le sustain and growl are off-normes.La low E is unique, what balance!
