I created a 70 BPM sequence on Elektron's Digitakt Ⅱ. This was to load a Jupiter-X JX-8P-type pad sound. Later, I got a 25-year-old Fender bass guitar. He had a PJ-type passive bass with the most conventional wiring, and I had wired it up, but I was shocked by the stale, Motown-like sound it produced. It's no wonder so many players crave a dry, crisp vintage bass! It sounds amazing!I remember when I bought it 25 years ago for 58,000 yen. It had a wet, young basswood smell that was different from what I hear now. It had a slimy, unremarkable sound without any real appeal. I hadn't used it in a while, so I gave it some maintenance for the first time in a while and played it...! Am I really allowed to have such a wonderful passive bass in my hands?
