Yea that "hip hop bass 3" sound is nice.... I still use that for my bass sounds alot...
It's not soo much what 9th uses, it's how he uses it... It's all the filtering and sound sculpting he does that makes it his... He could be usin a 100 dollar Casio piece of sh*t, but he'd still have his system of processing the sound and it would still work...
Plus mastering and other factors play into hsi overall sound as well...
