did you tried the svt impulses? maybe a good point to start!

what are those?

 

[~BURNY~]

Change your strings, play harder and use an amp sim with a light distortion.

Take a search for Beamsonic on this board... it was a package of impulse and there was also Impulse files of an Ampeg SVT ... I tried it and it sounded much better than the DI signal alone ...

EBS Multidrive

This is a Multidrive, it's a bassoverdrive. It's straight into the soundcard. For the sound you seek you would have to add more 'drive' on the pedal.

new strings, a bright sounding bass, a pick, some overdrive, a boost around 1-5k

also not alot of bass below 100ish hz

plus the dude in killswitch prolly used a little more than just a DI....Im sure they put mic on his bass cabinet also......but im sure you could get damn close..You can do anything with sound

Sorry to say that a Warwick is probably not gonna cut it either. I suggest MusicMan Stingray - best ever metal bass. Try it with a SansAmp Bassdriver/DI. Or run line into your system and add SansAmp software.

As far as i Know the bassist from KSE using ibanez basses with MM style pickups. that is your first start that and you need a overdriven bass amp ala Ampeg SVT. maybe you can get away with a sans amp di box? IMO snag a good olp mm bass those basses for the money sound amazing.

see here's a photo.

im going sound like a dick BUT if you have no idea why did you post? :Smug:

 

[farside]

50% of the sound comes from the player. In fact I'd say this is the order of importance as far as the sound you're getting.

Player--->Bass--->Amp--->Mic/DI--->EQ--->pick--->preamp

There is a lot of distortion on your 'goal' track. I would try reamping it w/ a bit of distortion and see if that doesn't get you closer. A/B things while you are dialing in your tone.
Right now you sort of have that warwick rubber sound that ime an amp (or maybe a bass pod) can help you get rid of regardless of whether your after the killswitch tone.

 

[CJWall]

that KSE clip definitely sounds like an SVT to me, love it.

If you happen to have Guitar Rig2, it has a very usable SVT sim.

If not, run it through whatever amp sim you may have. I've used GuitarSuite on bass with surprisingly good results.

 

[Zombietakeover]

that bass tone you posted of KSE......also sounds like Machine Heads bass player Adam Duce(?).....like on the more thinngs change......anybody else hear that?
