Interesting bass comparison

Wow; I found the J was much clankier with less bottom in all styles (except slap maybe cause I skipped that bit).

Yep; though I think the main culprit here was direct recording + leaving the tone knobs wide open as some sort of variable control.

I really liked the P and disliked the J, but what else is new.
The bird sounded nice, but wish there's been a neck-only variant.
The Thumb was interesting because I'm not familiar with them. I quite liked it played fingerstyle, especially for chords, but it was really unpleasantly bright for slap and pick. Awful. Err, I mean, not my cup of tea.
I thought this setup was not flattering to the Ric at all. I have heard Rics sound awesome in different ways, but this recording sounded really weak to me.
Denis:
If I were going to buy basses solely based on this video and after listened to finger, slap (never a favorite of mine) and pick, they would be in this order:
1. Thunderbird
2. Ric
3. P bass and Stingray tied
4. Jazz
5. W
Pilgrim:
My conclusion is that fingers and strings make a lot more difference than the brand and model of bass.
Dave W:
My rating: None of the above. Whatever settings he's using, he sounds nothing like I would sound on any of these basses.
Also, he should have included a way to click past the entire slap section.
