This may sound like an unfair generalization, but has anyone noticed how like 80% of new basses all sound the same? It's almost like a dead dry tone that only seems to come to life when slapped...kinda like a woman!! *kidding* :) I guess it's just personal taste, but i can usually hear if...
just looking for some input here on the best ways to retain the natural sound of an upright bass...ideally i would NEVER want to amplify it in any way because it sounds best totally acoustic...but I do use a pickup, a Fishman bp 100 thru a GK which gives me an alright sound...but it sounds a bit...
