Your bass sound on Queen of Cups

Hello Kai,

I have now realized what my actual question is regarding fretless sound. I love my Turner 5-string fretless bass sound. It is unique. But now I am going to buy another bass in order to widen tonal possibilities. This bass will also be fretless in either a 5 or 6 string model.

I want a bass that sounds like what you play on : Queen of Cups. I very much want the lush, rich, organic/acoustic sound you both get. I am not interested in the more metallic side of the sound spectrum. Nor do I need anything fancy, although I am willing to pay whatever it costs to get the bass that has the sound I want.

If I want to get a bass that gets the sound like yours, what should I buy?

Also, what other factors affect the quality of the sound:

To what degree is it in the bass………. the pickups…………. the preamp…………… the strings etc.
I know of course that it is a combination.

Do you add effects or processing to your sound? How important is the amplifier to the final result?

I know that set up and playing style are important also. However, what I am most focused on is the bass/pickups/preamp/strings.

I really, really appreciate you taking time to answer my questions.

Thank you for the inspiration you bring to the world of bass.
