I'm sorry I didn't manage to present more sound combinations due to the limited time ... maybe next time.

Let me know in the comments what you think about the sound :)

Many thanks to my friend Kosta who lent me his beautiful basses for the test.

Recorded through Focusrite Scarlet 2i2 with just a bit of compression on both basses.
