Capacitors in your bass - do they make a difference? - Sound Demo (no talking)

- We compared three different capacitors in passive tone controls. Do they have a unique sound? Do they make a difference at all? Decide for yourself and let us know what you think!

The 22uf has the best tone in my opinion.
Of the three, I prefer the 22nf to either of the 47nfs, and the Orange Drop to the Mustard cap. Most of what is happening is treble filtering: the 22nf is allowing most treble frequencies through. Given that you can always cut treble with the bass's tone control, but not increase it - on a passive bass, anyway - it makes sense to filter as little as possible, so I prefer low values. The Mustard cap in particular gives a very dull sound.

The capacitors are 22nF and 47nF... (Instead uF)
hahaha! Yes!
Great comparison. Thank you. I like the 22µF.
Please correct: we never use 22 or 47 microfarad capacitors as a tone cap. Even the 22microfarad would cut off everything above about 1 Hz. The correct values are 22 nanofarad and 47 nanofarad
22 nF is the best! I love it!
Great! Now I know why my Jazz bass doesn’t sound like I want it to sound. I have a 47 orange drop that this demo prove to be dull compared to the 22. Modifications coming!!
Wow!! I’ve been playing guitar/bass for almost 20 years now and never knew this was a thing. Thanks for the comparison video!
I wish that the comparison was between three different readings or three different caps with the same reading. The 22UF sounds the best. I couldn't tell the difference between the orange and yellow caps.
22uF - gives an untamed character
Amazing !
The 22uf has the best tone !! But is not exist demo about bridge pickup !!
It's an error to put a 22nF in a test with two 47nF. Obiviously the 22nF will make the bass sound brighter in any case. a 100nF will sound way way darker with the tone rolled at 0 to 50%.
We know this and included the 22nF for comparison. 🙂
I didn't know that the capacitor also changes the sound so drastically (comparing 22 with 47) even when the tone is at 100%.. 😅
1) nF instead of uF. That's only 1000 times difference. 🙂
2) Changing from 22 nF to 47 uF it is obvoius that you will hear difference. No mather what brand capacitor you use.
3) Stsndard capacitance deviation is about 20% so swapping 22 nf to other 22 nF you can hear difference too.
4) You can not play exactly the same many times.
So what is this test for?
I think given a stack of 10 22uF caps, each one may sound a bit different?
