What bass is used for Latin House music?

Hi, I'm totally new here, searched through the archives couldn't find the answers I'm looking for.

I'm using sampling for my bass sounds - and hate it, never sounds good and the transition between notes sucks, and what's after I tweak everything for few hours. I'm in quest to buy a bass guitar and learning how to use it rather then just sampling it off.

I have no idea about brands/models, but I want it to sounds like the bass in this sample:

I know it's probably impossible to find out what was used I that sample, since it's probably been processed with filters and amps. I tried to track the player - no luck so far. Can some one estimate what bass guitar was used, or recommend something similar to it. I was told that Fender P-Bass sounds similar.

Thanks, Boris

In this case it might be an amp thing. I have not idea what the bass is so all I can really tell you is that it's active (or has an on-board preamp) becuase of how smooth the tone is. I'm sorry I could not be more of a help.

Easy, that's a custom Hamer Latin House Bass.

Alright, I'm kidding. It could be anything man, anything.
