Try these 3 EPIC Jazz Bass Tones (Jaco Pastorius / Marcus Miller / P Bass)

Here is a video on 3 really useful Jazz Bass Tones that you can try. 0:00 Intro 0:32 Jaco 2:06 Marcus 3:17 P Bass Some more detailed info on my settings: Jaco J Bass Settings (0% Neck 100% Bridge 70% Tone) DI Settings (50% Bass 50% Middle 50% Treble) Also Jaco didn't play exclusively over the bridge pickup but played over the neck pickup a lot as well as over the neck. Marcus J Bass Settings (100% Neck 100% Bridge 100% Tone) DI Settings (50% Bass 35% Middle 50% Treble) Another way you can achieve the scooped mids tone, as Marcus Miller himself mentioned himself doing in an interview with sweetwater.com (thanks Randy Gomez for pointing in out) is boost your bass and treble and keep mids flat. P Bass J Bass Settings (100% Neck 0% Bridge 80% Tone) DI Settings (70% Bass 35% Middle 35% Treble) I've used roundwound strings in all my playthroughs, but for that classic P Bass sound, flatwound strings are the way to go!
