i apologise if this question is already around somewhere.
i worry sometimes that before i record, my guitars are going to be out of tune with the bass. i know instruments arent perfect, i just want it to be aaceptable. i never have problems up until now though (im questioning the new bass im using). my dilemma is this: i want to get a session bass player (studio pros) but im wondering whether to get the bass done first or do the guitars first? problem is that i like the bass done first, but i dont want to go through the pain of getting the bass done and it doesnt gell with my guitars. on the other hand, if i record the guitars first, i worry that i will have done all this work for nothing if they dont go with the bass well.
i am aware of most tuning issues and ways around it, but im the kind who prefers not to have to detune a bass to sit with the guitars. i like to just tune up all instruments and go for it. i also dont like to tune the guitar to specific chords and parts. my guitar is very good (ernie ball petrucci model) and i always have it set up well and i have a good tuner (boss TU 12).
any tips on how i could solve this dilemma would be helpful. thanks
