Comparing the bass I made to a Marcus Miller M7

[@carlton1390]

Wow! Yours sounds and looks WAY better. Very solid sounding B too. I'd love to have one like it!

[@thewetterbass]

😊 working on putting up the info on the web and building more of this model. I got two in process right now!

[@frankmarini5391]

Jean, your bass has a nice wide variety of sounds but seems to center around a "P" tone. It has a nice clear tone and very solid fundamentals. Your slapping example was pretty much a P bass being slapped. Great job on the build. The Sire bass sounds so good, too, especially considering its price.

[@thewetterbass]

Exactly what I was aiming for! Accurate opinion. 👍

[@MrClassicmetal]

That bass of yours sounds very nice! 🤘🏼 Impressive, I didn't know that you're a builder.

[@thewetterbass]

Yep. I mostly do repairs, setups and custom work but I have been building instruments for many years now! 😉

Your bass sounds very nice. It has a bit of that scooped sound, but lightly so with fuller mids. Yours sounds to be set up better since it’s not getting any string rattle. Best is that you have both-and the skill to make a bass to your own specifications.

[@thewetterbass]

I agree with the low B string rattling. I contacted my client and sent her the video. I’m going to put a bigger one. It will loose some of that softness and confort but yeah… less rattling!

Nice comparison. Sounds pretty different but both are nice.

[@thewetterbass]

Yes, 1 pup vs 2 pups is awkward, but I will do these comparison videos for reference. I also think it’s interesting to hear how the tone varies according to where you place your right hand.

Ya bass sounds great mate

[@thewetterbass]

😊

[@MasterMeijer]

Your bass soinds much more pleasant than the m7

[@thewetterbass]

Wow thanks!!!

[@jesuguru2394]

Yours and it's not even close...

[@VeitLehmann]

It responds really nicely to the playing position! I didn't expect it to be so responsive with the pickup so far towards the neck - awesome job!

[@thewetterbass]

Yes surprising results. Obviously the sound would be more accurate with a bridge pickup. But with the Joorny I wanted to take the Precision concept to another level, keeping it simple yet powerful.

[@VeitLehmann]

@@thewetterbass I totally get it! I have an Aria Pro II RSB Standard, which is basically a P bass, but with the pickup about 1 inch further back towards the bridge. It's also really responsive and can sound like a traditional P bass when playing in front of the pickup, or almost StingRay or Jazz Bass like when playing near the bridge. Also, like yours, fully passive, volume and tone, that's it. Instruments like this have a special place in my heart! But still, I'm currently building a bass that does things very differently: 2 sliding pickups (a special design built by a friend), combined with a filter preamp a la Wal/Alembic, and 5 strings on 35" 🤤I designed the body for it, it's somewhere between a Jaguar, Jazz Bass, Lakland and StingRay 5.

Nice!
