Hey bass players! Here's a Warwick Pro Series Corvette $$ (double buck) tone demo with no talking, just tones. Each pickup on the Pro Series Corvette features a toggle for series (down), single coil (middle), and parallel (up). Series is the usual setup for that Music Man Stingray type tone... loud and beefy. Single coil gets you into that Fender Jazz zone and parallel is useful if you're looking for a brighter tone. Check out the last two examples for my favorite fingerstyle and slap settings! I'm using DR Hi Beam stainless steel strings and going direct into my Universal Audio Apollo with just a bit of 1176 compression to even things out.
