Sounds just about the same to me
Tone's in both your hands, buds. You'll get a different tone if you really dig into the fret like Billy Sheehan or if you strike the string really hard like Geddy Lee.
its a little of everything i think personally, think about playing with hard plucks versus softly walking across the strings, then you have fretless, semi hollow, stand ups, acoustics, and any combination of that, then you have different variations of strings, different body woods, what kind of pickups are they, i could honestly go on but you get my point, tone comes from a little of this and that
The individual pickup tones are being affected by hand placement already. Doesn’t playing closer to the bridge create a more trebly, tinny sound
ALICE IN CHAINS BASS TONE
What's the brand of your guitar?
No. It's stored in my Jim Dunlop .60 mm vinyl pick.
Anyone who seriously thinks time comes just from the fingers is delusional. Maybe 15% of your tone comes from that
You changed hand position
While I am a firm believer that there are many different things that go into tone, your test is technically flawed because you didn't play in the same spot for both pickups
Fehngs! BEHS!! Something something tone!
You altered the playing style more when showing the sound between the different pickups, which contributed at least as much of a difference to the sound than the pickups.
Is that an infinity Tattoo? What are you, a 16 yr old girl?!
When people say tone is in the fingers, I think this particular example isn’t what they’re referring to.
If I picked up Steve Harris’ rig tomorrow… would it sound like Steve’s tone? No. Elements of it would be there, but largely no.
If he picked up mine? Probably very very close, would just need some shifting of EQ.
The playing style & the way your hand reacts to the strings & pickups is 70% of the tone, IMO.
I play with my hand at an angle so my fingers hhit the strings as iff I were playing a stand up.
It's my favourite way to change tone with my hands
ACCOUSTIC REPRESENTATION LETS GOOOOO
Why would Geddy Lee use a sansamp if tone is just in the fingers?
Imagine if wendolen awakened
a good way to put it is the tone comes from the bass/amp and how clear the tone is comes from the fingers
Personally i think that any regularly functional bass with any tone can be made to sound well by a well trained ear and touch.
Someone without the skill wouldnt know how to control the sound to that degree. Although all and all flavour is subjective, so depends on what " good tone" means to us and to the listener.
Idk what more to add.
Personally i like tones like on that one song from Gjorge Balasevic called Montenegro ekspres. Its such a slick tone
It's not "tone doesn't change from instrument to instrument" it's more like… if you have a standard bass like fender Pbass or jazz, you can achieve a DIVERSE set of sounds just by playing in different positions and at different velocities. In the right hands, any bass with good intonation and working electronics can sound great.
I’d say tone comes from a variety of places, but the right hand technique is definitely one of them. For example, on certain songs I use a pick shocked pikachu face because it has a better attack that matches the song better
Js just sound great no matter what
Bass with headphones on tickles my brain
Tone is stored in how you rock to da beat.
I own a ukulele bass! I got it for Christmas in 2021.
I think the idea behind the phrase is more that anyone dedicated enough to fiddle can get *close enough*, and that ultimately playing matters most. But this is funny so i reckon it doesn’t matter
My favorite was Billy Corgans tone paint.
Who ever said that has no common sense. I’m new to bass but I have at least 2 brain cells. One tells me basic electronics and other is basic physics
BEHS!! ????????
For any amplified instrument, the most significant impact on tone is always the speakers.
You're funny dude! "BEHS"????
What bass is the second?. The body shape like Musicman?
pick
Nice tone from that BEHS
Tone primarily comes from the speaker, technique is in the hands,
не слышно
I think when people say tone is in the finger they don't actually mean the timbre of the sound, rather I think they mean the style and tastiness of the sound. At least that's what I think.
Bro you barely varied your technique at all
Saying tones comes from the fingers, is like saying tone comes from the wood type. Tone comes from 3 things. Pickups, string age, and skill
