The recording setup:

All basses are running Ric-o-sound (except the mono 4003S/5) into two separate Tube MP preamps, into a ProTools MBox (type 1) with the bass pickup on the left and the treble pickup on the right.

I'm not sure if I like this. The 4002 sounds a whole lot more interesting than I expected. And I am a huge neck pickup fan! thanx for recording this!

JD, Love the 4003FL sound, sounded like Robert Palmer (Every Kind of People)
I would have guessed that mystery bass #1 was 4005 with the treble pu engaged, very similar.

Mystery #1 is the Shadow. Mystery #2 is the 5'er. Okay, how wrong am I?

[weemac]

Mystery bass 2 is a taurus pedal set!
emac.

Mystery bass 2 is a taurus pedal set!

I say faux Taurus. Is #1 the Fretless?

[sloop_john_b]

BTW, there is a serious shortage of flatwound strings in your bass collection!

TI's, man. Put 'em on something.

[jdogric12]

I have flats on the fretless! And the 325/12, but it's not a bass.
