Members L-1329 Posted October 3, 2005 Members Posted October 3, 2005 Still trying to find a way to record a good, tight punchy bass that comes out in a dense mix. This one didn't quite make it, but it was a fun one to record anyway. Check it out if you have a few minutes to waste! http://home.earthlink.net/~tom303/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/guitar_lead.mp3
Members zenfascist Posted October 3, 2005 Members Posted October 3, 2005 Very 80s-ish, which is cool.
Members Tlaloc Posted October 3, 2005 Members Posted October 3, 2005 I think it sounds really good in that one. The bass is definitely there, but it isn't overpowering everything else. It fits right into the song and is rather noticeable.
Members L-1329 Posted October 4, 2005 Author Members Posted October 4, 2005 I seem to get the 80's thing a lot, but that's ok, there were some rockin' 80's bands. Thanks for the comments.
Members DerekDRP Posted October 4, 2005 Members Posted October 4, 2005 Nice why does it have a van hallen sound to it though?
Members nicebigstrings Posted October 4, 2005 Members Posted October 4, 2005 Good stuff mister. The bass stands the test of keeping well seperated from pretty dense rhythm guitars. You really found a niche for it. Is that you wailing on the six string?

Oh that, yeah... that's my, uh... um... piccolo bass! Yeah, that's it!

Members tenyearsgone Posted October 4, 2005 Members Posted October 4, 2005 Sounds good! Like the others said, 80's sounding and there's nothing wrong with that. Nice tone, sounds similar to the guy that plays in puddle of mudd. I dig his tone and your too! What's your gear setup? (As if anybody didn't see that coming) TEN
Members L-1329 Posted October 4, 2005 Author Members Posted October 4, 2005 Originally posted by tenyearsgone What's your gear setup? (As if anybody didn't see that coming) TEN The bass is my Schecter Stiletto Elite with Bart pups and pre, to a BDDI to a Zoom 8 track. All the guit parts are from my Carvin DC200 to a ToneLab to the Zoom. I am slowly improving on recording quality tones but have a long way to go even with this minimal setup. Thanks for the comments!

Wow, those Barts sound really good in that Schecter!*Rethinks putting SD basslines in his own schecter*I think the recording sounds great as it is!

My thought is that getting pups with more mid presence in there, with a pre that includes a mid control made this a whole different bass. Much less boomy, more definition and overall better tone in recordings. The basses have a good natural sound, but the EMG's and the stock pre's choke all the mids out of them. I used the Classic Bass pups, but would have considered the P style that Beam used after hearing it.
Members beam Posted October 4, 2005 Members Posted October 4, 2005 Me likey Your tone slices through the mix perfectly with that setup, sounds great!!
