Thank you! There are a lot of factors that go into tone, including the wood of the body / fret board, the pickups, the strings, on board preamp if there is one, your playing technique, and any post effects such as pedals or VSTs. In general you can get a nice sounding tone like this with a bass that has 2 single coil pickups turned on full volume, roundwound strings, an EQ pedal/vst to scoop out some mid tones (I play around with lowering 500hz - 1000hz until I like the sound), and you will want some form of compression especially for slap. I typically eye ball the gain reduction, attack / release until I like it, and shoot for a ratio of 1:5 -1:8. I don't remember my exact settings for this video, since I tend to eyeball things until I like the sound. Cheers
@@metropolitanmusicman9235 thanks for the answer. One last request, could you check just one of my bass cover vids and tell me what I could do to improve either the tone or the sound etc ? (I use focusrite 2nd gen / harley benton j-bass / a virtual amp on fl studio sometimes guitar rig sometimes archery wong / and multiband compressor". Many thanks for your advice !

perfection. even though he didn't use an active bass in the early days, the atelier tone somehow still fits so well
Fantastic cover mate! Love the crisp tone. 🔥
Congratulations on getting the Atelier Z!! 🎉🎉 Let’s cover Dimension’s song on this bass!
Thanks yky! I will have to practice so more before I can start doing Dimension but I will try!
You get a new bass? Looks like a japan import.
this is some awesome playing man. I love that crispy bass tone, great work. (how do you get that tone ? is it the bass or the vst or sth else ? ty)
