It boils down to what kind of a tone you want, JCM800 and 6550+ are radically different sounding!

To get over this, put a gate on it that cuts a lot of stuff out, and use an expander on the signal, it will make the attack more prominent.

This is one of the things you might never actually need, but it is so 'cool' you'll have to whack it into something :D

It's incredibly hard to judge the tone you posted because 80% of FMTS' 'guitar tone' is really in the mix itself. You know how terrible intro to backbone sounds, that is, compared to the mixed version of that same riff just a few seconds into the song. So really, for this kind of a tone to work...

Another huge + for TWOAF! I'd say l'enfant sauvage is good as well, but it's just not as good as TWOAF, really, but I see they were going for a way different vibe on that one.

Is everyone at ehow mentally challenged? Also, it's important to mention that tube screamer can bring out nasty, scratchy attack of bad pickups, so it may or may not be the best case to make the tone 'thicker' because nasty attack just makes it smaller. Old strings will also give a nasty...

No need for a midi pickup! However, that's why it's monophonic, if it required a mini pickup it'd obviously be polyphonic, but hey, this is some secret treasure :D I set window size to 50 and used my fretless with trillian, and put a slap bass preset. Now, THAT was funky, in both meanings :D

Woah, this is amazing! :D Why didn't I know of this earlier?

Wow, this seems to be the most useful advice I've seen on this subject yet! I knew ice helps big time, but I apparently didn't hold my hand enough before! Thanks for all the advice, I will try all of this out :D Okay, now I believe this will be sorted out somehow, but is the nerve damage...

I already use mouse with both hands, had to learn, haha. Yeah, figured a lot of the problem is how I am sitting at my desk, will have to get a chair that goes lower. I asked doctor about actually playing bass, he said that I definitely can play if I find a way to do it without fingers getting...

I've seen this bass is discontinued, and I can get one really cheap, the active 4 knob version, it'd be fun to have a 5 string around, even if 'beginner'. Are they any good?

I put this here because I'd like to see how producers see it, and since many producers here are also guitar players as well: When you absolutely have to finish something, but your hand(s) is/are too occupied with CTS, what is the best way to cure it, if for a few hours? I've heard it's actually...

I'd go with C, seems to give the mix some depth, it sounds nice plus notes are very audible.

I've heard people say 'anything that isn't gojira is overproduced crap'. That makes my rage meter go up instantly, as I hate the whole notion of something being 'overproduced' but I think it's really honest to say that there haven't been so many 'raw' albums in the genre lately.

As I thought, it gets sorta muddy/boomy through a guitar speaker/IR, so I don't think it'd be too useful in a metal context, as the range boosted by those IRs is what's first to go when mixing (especially since it's also boosted on guitars). The V30 sounds great on its own though, rounder than...
