  • A look at how I get that dirty tone without clipping. I usually record in 96KHZ but this time I recorded in 48KHZ for more grit. I'll show you how I record bass step by step. If you like that dirty sound check this video out.

    This dude here... man you too funky and it's just cool that you take time to break it down and still prove that simple is funky. Pocket is just deep... basses are killing man, I'm gonna try and do all of this to get that exact sound.
    If a man sees you with a million dollars in cash, he'd most likely set you up to steal it rather than ask you for a single dollar, you are giving away millions in info and not asking for nothing in return.
    you a bad cat!! Funny story, when i cut class in college to take girls to see Purple Rain, they were worried about Prince (RIP) but I was listening to the bass lines. That's why I didn't mind seeing that movie over 10 times. You a bad cat man. Keep the info coming.

    I bought a Warwick it has a pretty nice slap tone to begin with.
    I notice for some songs, which pickups I use is now a big deal.
    iv'e got two bartolinis and thew output is around the same volume, using one or both.
    I never thought about this much before I got into playing funk.
    it's pretty versatile for a preamp once I figure out how to use it, doh.

      I was 18 so don’t have recordings prior to 84 when I started working in studios. My style is a mixture of many influences. Prince didn’t necessarily influence my style but he influenced my ethic to work hard and not be afraid to express myself freely on my bass.

I was trying to understand if that reverse thumb thing you guys in Minneapolis do, is that Prince's, or is that just a style you guys have there? But now that I'm thinking about it, since he did a lot of the work recording, I guess that was his. He does it on the Time's first album as well as his own stuff.
