Not sure why you bumped this, or indeed what you sought to elicit from posting it.

I listened a few days ago, and thought:

Rather repetitive
Player could have done with playing to a metronome
Very scooped sound
Loose low end
Too much fret / finger noise

I would get that sonic maximizer out of the chain. This has way too much high-end harshness for my ears. Hard to tell what it would sound like in a mix, though. Soloed bass tracks are often ugly.

I'm the player and I'm just looking for some debate... thanks for your response...

I was banging pretty hard on the guitar and the playing technique is not what I'd use normally... just for this clip.

Loose low end... maybe but it's not short on low end

Scooped... definitely to stay out of the guitar's way

I really like this tone... This tone is in a post Matt's Boogie and I feel it sits very well... the playing technique is drastically different though

The high end is not related to the sonic maximizer...

Thanks for the lambasting...

for a semiraw direct tone it is a good sound. It gives you enough of the highs and punchy low end that it can eq-subtracted to tighten the tone after its sitting amongst some more tracks of a rythym section. Bass usually never sounds by itself as good and clean as it does with a rythym section added. If it does sound real good by itself it probably won`t come out in the mix right

Why? Have you used one on Bass?
