Here's an awesome Roger Stallion Singlecut 5 bass. This is a quick sound demo with some backing tracks, a full review coming soon.

For the recording I had the Pope preamp on and have the treble and bass boosted just a tiny bit, with both pickups on and no other EQ.

I also used my A-desigs REDDI and my Universal Audio 1176 into my Apogee Duet for the Direct recording. The only effect is a slight amount of limiting during mixdown to keep everything even, other than that its just the super fat sounding bass tone.

Roger Stallion SC5 Specifications:

Flame Redwood top, 3 piece maple neck with light flame, Wenge fretboard and Ramp, Maple tone block, Mahogany body, Ulyate Humcancelling pickups, Pope Flex Core Preamp, and DR Pure Blue Strings.

Here's a quick sound demo featuring this outstanding Wilkins Road Tested WRTJ4 Cayenne J Bass. Cayenne stands for Roasted or Torrified.

This bass has a roasted Alder body, dark roasted maple fretboard and a roasted maple neck. Audere JZ preamp, Hipshot hardware.

Bass was recorded direct through an A-designs Audio REDDI and a Universal Audio 2-1176, into Logic Audio via an Apogee Duet.

The bass had both pickups on and the preamp set to its "flat" setting.

I also used Tsunami cables and DR Strings.

Here's an Incredible, I know I say that quite a lot in this video but its true, Skjold Gen 5 Bass. This bass was on loan from a Bass Hang family member and we couldn't be more thankful for the loan of this awesome bass.

This bass was recorded direct through my A Designs Audio KGB DI/Preamp. There are a couple of times that the signal distorts due to my fault of not resetting the input gain on the KGB and/or interface, I do apologize about that.

Here is a very special, bonus episode of 2 Dudes 1 Bass!! This is the AMP SHOW!!!
