I love talking about technical things with my kids just to see how much they can pick up on. It's good that your son is comfortable enough to say "I don't understand"
I'm a fan of doing this in parallel with a bass amp and the straight, unprocessed DI. Using a really convincing "tubey" guitar preamp or distortion pedal alongside a bass preamp with a blend function also does the trick.
amen to that! I was really chasing Colin Richardson bass tone for a while until I've found out that the secret is splitting the signal to five tracks and using 5150 on one of them. truly opens up the tone and makes the bass a forefront instrument
I recently started doing this with amp sims just to hear what I can get. I landed on a sansamp on one track and JCM800 with V30 speakers and some filtering on another to land that ideal distorted sound I was looking for. I think in the future, I want to use one of my band member's amps to get that distorted bass sound that could blend well in the mix with a wall of guitars.
Hmm used a 6505+ through an OX top box once for bass and thought it sounded pretty cool. I always heard “no bass through guitar cabs cause you can warp and tear the speakers” from gear nerds online, might have to try this out for real
Are you using the re-amped tone as the full bass tone in the mix, like including the low end? Or do you blend in the dry DI for the low end and just use the re-amped tone for the more mid to high grit / distortion?
@@JayMaasRecording Ah very interesting. Never thought to try that through a guitar amp / cab. Def gonna do some experimenting. Thanks for the cool ideas! Last questions- is the eq happening on the DI before going to the amp? And just curious what reamp box and neve clone pre do you use?
Great question as honestly you wouldn’t from an exact 1:1. I think the difference between recorded bass in the studio environment and what happens live is just too totally different things. Live I think just have fun with great amps and pedals. The room, the stage, the FOH, you name it are all going to be variables outside of your control anyway 🤷🏻♂️
A friend of mine sometimes used one of his guitar amps for live shows. Either a 6505+ or a JCM800. I remember him saying it gave him a really nice snarling bass tone
Honestly most guitar amps might not cut the mustard in a live setting on bass duty. Like the other comment I agree a 5150 or something really loud might be able to pull it off though. I typically find the idea of being able to take a tone that one gets in the studio and recreating it perfectly in a live setting a fallacy to begin with, so I recommend bass distortion pedals or bass head that can get it done. Our bass player has that little dark glass head and I can’t believe how loud and great it sounds for its size.

Just realized that bass line is "Hey man nice shot" by Filter

Red White and Blues is still the sickest bass tone.

I love this tone! Definitely going to try this on my next project. I always wondered how you got your awesome bass tones!

I just found your channel, it's very cool :)
the "bruh" will go down history
its hard to comment on how useful the video was when all i wanna talk about is your chad kid
Cool no rules! It's art imo....... I think it sounds great! Sick of the perfect sound these days. \m/
Just use a guitar boost like a tube screamer basically same thing
That definitely looks like a $1500 Royer dangling inside a 57's mic clip.
I'm anxious just watching about it.
Believe it or not a it’s actually a pretty snug fit!

My goal is to just have a single source so likely this will be the entire bass guitar sound.

How would you get that bass tone in a live show/performance?
