Thx Chris for this last reply. With the sources you listed and the ones others listed above, I think I can really start to build up my library of UB sounds (and good songs too). Obviously, with doing a bunch of home recording as you said, you do understand how recording is as much as an art...

Ed- I'm definitely not trying to use "studio tricks" to manipulate my sound into something else, but the bottom line with recording is that it is much more than mic placement + mix level. Subtle variations in your individual track eq, or the overall eq, or compression, can greatly vary the...

Ed, I checked those links online only (not the original cd's yet) and I really liked the Neil Miner. I will admit though that it may be due to the fact that the recording sounds the best of all of them when played online (others could be mp3 compressed too much to hear their real quality), and...

Chris, not to sound rude, but I think you're missing the point about getting a recorded sound. There is simply an infinite amount of possibilities of sound manipulation when recording. Mic choice, placement, the room, isolation, live/solo, compression, effects, eq, eq eq, etc. And unless you...

thx. I'll check those out. I do realize that many diff bassists have many different recorded sounds. I just want to start building a reference library of sounds to work with when micing my bass, and especially in mixdown. I can do this for EB all day, I've listened closely enough to EB...

So I've been following the recording methods posts, and forgive me if this has been asked before, but what would you all consider the "best" sounding recording of semi-current jazz UB? I say current, because a friend has semi-pro equipment, and hearing "love that Chambers sound on..." won't...

I also use a Studio 220 thru a Goliath Jr. 2x10. Those 2x10 cabs produce enough bass but still have much clarity and volume if needed.

how have any of you been able to manage to get a clean clear sound just miking the bass, when recording live with a quartet? Drums, even when played lightly, seem to drown out the bass tones. And the horns are fairly loud too. Or do you just opt for a direct signal too from pickups? or do...

Hey, thx all. I looked up and found that post. And besides the usefull notes, that entire thread looks like some good reading, I'll make sure and check the whole thing out. Also, that online realbook works great.

Hi. I'm a self-taught bassist, who mostly plays electric, but dabbles on standup and with jazz. A friend once showed me the into line for "So What" and now I need to play it this coming weekend but can't remember it. Any chance any of you have th etranscription of this line handy? I'd...

Hi everyone from the new guy here. I have an "aesthetic/style" question. I have a '36 Kay blondie plywood bass that I got a couple years back from a family friend (retired player). It came with the old gut strings and in bad need of a overall setup. So I got it setup when i first bought...
