(coz it ain't just about roots II)

Some tunes will just go low, others will move cones and some will give really good harmonic progression. It may not not be the heaviest but look at tunes with a b-line walks up and down and then drops low - this will highlight the notorious one-note effect of some subs. That's what I think anyway and some soul tunes can test scoops.

Why the '?' Luton?
The question was what's your favourite tune for testing, and I believe in testing you should be to be able to hear a nice full round bass line, not just super heavy low notes. And as we would want the system to sound the best with the kind of stuff we play, then foggy road ticks all the boxes and fits our style.
So testing the system/scoops to get the best sound that suits us, not just as low as possible. Plus when yer hear the tune on vinyl on a system you can hear  Hammond organ bass notes that you don't on the clip above.

I suppose it is subjective on what you want your system to achieve, as to what 'tune' you would consider a scoop test tune and subsequently use.

never said scoop testin is about low low notes, if playin ur scoops 30 - 90 etc then need various tunes where some emphasis on lows, some tunes is higher, and some ideal that go through the cycle nice.
but as u mentioned low lows ill give you one anyway Tongue iration steppas - jah is my protector.
