Hi everyone,
I'm thinking of ordering a custom Kiesel Zeus 5-string fretless bass. I'm looking for a sound similar to that of bands like Cynic or Exivious. Here are some examples of the sound I'm looking for: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]
I've been advised to choose either black limba for the body (nice lows, warm mids) or walnut (nice growl, punchy attack, clear mids & highs). Do you think any of the two better approximates that kind of tone?
Also I've been advised to choose the Radium Radius Humbucker pickups, but again I'm not sure if I should have Bartolinis / Nordstrands installed as I'm getting something custom made.
Thank you!
