YT: Trying out my new Spector bass for my EP

[Mattayus]

This will be the third time I've recorded the bass tracks for my EP I've owned 4 different basses now in the last few months, nothing was quite nailing the tone that was in my head, but I'm pretty dam settled on this one.

With just a simple EQ'd DI and a separate distorted high end track, it's already got a great aggressive muscular tone that fits the mix really well (albeit way too loud in this video for demonstration purposes)

That sounds fucking awesome and well played!

 

[Mattayus]

Thanks man! Really happy with the way this thing sounds. Bass is such a point of contention for me. I go back and forth on what sort of tones I like forever and ever

This sounds really damn good.

Great tone as always mate! What was the signal chain on this then?

 

[Mattayus]

Cheers guys! Sig chain was one clean track > CLA Bass > Comp
Distorted track was hi-passed @ 500hz, lo-passed at 4khz, put through Juicy77 pre (4x10)
Bussed down to a single track, comp'd some more, and limited.

Man, this sounds great! I love your tone and yeah it fits the mix and the song perfectly! The playing is great too which is a big part of the tone... well done!

 

[Mattayus]

Thanks man! I know this isn't everyone's cup of tea but I hope the groove at least gets people's feet tapping!
