#the ESP sounded great but same as my Ibanez

[necromancy-savant]

For the first time, I have a guitar that can split coils and do surf guitar tone. I’ve been learning surf rock songs all weekend. My neighbors must be so sick of Walk Don’t Run and Wipe Out

Cirno 64 sound font demo

I think I finished my sound font. Can't quite distribute it due to copyright questions for a decent chunk of samples. But I compiled a demo of it. They're played in the order of the list at the bottom of the post. Feedback on the samples is welcome. ❤️

Playing is me mostly screwing around on my keyboard. I'm aware some of the sounds could use a release time, I need to figure out that part in sforzando. Conversely some of the samples from Kontakt have a few ms of silence before them which causes silence between back to back notes which isn't great e.g. the koto. There's also a weird wobble issue in the tanpura.

Fender Standard Jazz Electric Bass Guitar Review (V-String)

While the drums may be the heartbeat of any band, the bass guitar is the flowing blood. Without a good bass guitar sound on your side, your band will never quite sound full enough. Your sound will come across as wimpy, and you’ll never be loved or respected like you should be. My band used to have this problem. That is until I realized that I needed to purchase a better bass guitar.

Things to Consider When Buying a Bass Guitar

There are a couple of things you must consider before going out and buying a bass. Aside from your budget and your particular playing preferences, you must consider a bass’s action, pickup capabilities, construction quality, and overall tone.

A bass needs to be easy to play while also producing a thick and massive sound. Regardless of which amp it’s plugged into, it needs create the low, rumbling frequencies that are the solid foundation of any great band.

The Fender Standard Jazz Electric Bass Guitar

First created in the early 1960s, the Fender Standard Jazz Electric Bass Guitar has been used by bass players of all genres, from jazz, to rock, to funk, to hip hop, and more. Characterized by its bright, treble sound, it’s often played by bassists who use the bass as a lead instrument.

Pros

Bright, punchy, and nuanced tone

Very easy to play

Superb construction quality

Possesses an incredible, classic look

Equipped with two pickups for alternate tones

Cons

On the expensive side

Action will be a bit high for some

Neck is a little too thick for fast play

Might need some setup out of the box and in the long term, a new bridge and pickups to reach its full potential

Check Current Prices

Features and Benefits

Pickups

Coming equipped with two single-coil pickups, this bass guitar is capable of playing with both clean and articulate tones. 3 adjustable knobs allow you to use more or less of each pickup, thus allowing you to find your own particular sound and tone. These pickups are Jazz Bass pickups from Fender, which have been used on the Fenders Standard Jazz Electric Bass Guitar since its creation.

Frets

Coming equipped with 20 frets, this bass is designed to allow you to play all over the neck. Frets are not exceptionally wide, meaning that you can play with general seamlessness and ease. Because this is a V string bass, it has one additional string, allowing you to play notes of higher frequencies. This makes it ideal as a lead bass in which it must stand out above the rest of the instruments in a band.

Construction

As far as construction quality goes, this bass is superb. With a body made out of alder and a neck made out of maple wood, it’s designed to hold up over years and years of use. It measures in at 45 inches in length; rather short compared to other basses. This short length helps to give you ultimate control over the instrument at all times. It weighs in at around 10 pounds, meaning that it possesses relatively standard electric bass weight.

Aesthetics

Aesthetically speaking, this bass is an absolute beauty. Coming with a smooth, but subdued rosewood fingerboard, it possesses something of a classic bass look. Its body possesses a brown sunburst design, giving it a vintage look that has never quite gone out of style. With a long, lean shape, it’s designed to fit perfectly to your body.

Sonic Capabilities

Sonically speaking, this is a rather unique electric bass. Unlike many basses, which are designed to roar like raging thunder, this bass is designed to interplay with the other instruments in the band.

It’s characterized by increased treble and nuance, making it an ideal instrument for bassists who are the lead players in their groups. If you’re looking for a bass that plays clear, gorgeous-sounding, and melodic lines, this is the bass for you.
