How did you get such a beautiful tone out of this? Can you please tell me I’m considering on hitting it hit I’am curious how to get a tone on that especially with a Piezo pickup
First: thank you! Then - nothing special, it is just the bass and your fingers :) You should use though apoyando technique like double-bass players, with resting fingers on the adjacent strings, instead of tirando, where the fingers are lifted up - this way you get more powerful tone, and the other thing is plucking closer to the neck. Then comes some compression, phaser and/or chorus to taste and it deserves a good reverb at the end - in my case - Sonsig Rev-A.
Thank you! Red strings are Thomastik JF346: www.thomann.de/intl/thomastik_jf_346.htm Blue strings are the Elixirs which came with the bass. I use different strings mainly because my bass has some issue in the upper part of the neck where it produces some strange metallic overtones, on A and D strings, and because blue and red strings have different gauges of the same string for the middle strings, it helps reduce that effect. Maybe I should play more with neck bowing and string action to remediate it, but I don't have that nerve. I should try again to put all reds some day, maybe it would further improve the tone of the low strings. Note my bass is high-C tuned, with a custom nut. And the total quality of sound comes also from the good reverb.

hello! Sounds is good! Do you using different strings for treble and bass? Who is the manufacturer of the red decorative thread?

I was surprised by the HiC specifications. I thought the treble was very beautiful.
