Good Recording basses?

[Papersen]

I've recorded several tracks with my Peavey Cirrus.

Cirrus=>Sansamp RBI=>Computer = sweet tone

it comes through really nice.

How does the RBI improves the Cirrus sound?
(I mean warmth, a bit of drive, fullness, compression)

I love your collection so far. If all else fails, keep it simple and PURE. Try the ultimate - improved original. G&L!
They are incredible............

i dont think g&l's are all that simple...i tried a ASAT, semihollow and solid bodied ones and the controls confused the hell outta me

 

[xshawnxearthx]

yeah, i dont know what i'm going to do next time in the studio.


last time i recorded my music man, through a sans am pedal, through my rig. i wasnt very happy with the sound.


now i have a mia fender p-bass. i dont know whether i should go from sans amp right into the board, or go through my rig again.

Heath, I hear you. The new G&L models take patience and time to adjust to. Oh, but what tone and growl they have. One must remember too that these are hand made from the original old school philosophy but with incredible, new electronic engineering from the master, George Fullerton. Don't count them out for they are awesome once you get used to them.

ill just settle for my bass that came from 30years of fender RnD expereince, which is alot less complicated

My bass records very well I think. I dont even EQ it hardly at all, play pretty much flat EQ, DI.

You can check out some of the recordings by following my sig link.

Ive heard from several sources that Dingwall's record well, and IME its totally true hehe.

IMO opinion, Tobias basses are excellent for recording. The sound is so smooth. Another good bass is a Musicman Sabre.

Agreed.

30 years of Fender R&D failed to produce decent quality control, making buying one a bit of a gamble sometimes (albeit not so much as buying a Wishbass .) I imagine that the G&L basses are tested a bit more thoroughly and made with quite a bit more care - they're not just a complicated Fender, as far as I can tell, they're a complicated Fender that you know is going to function as expected because someone skilled put it together and made sure it worked. YMMV, I haven't had much experience with them, but the ones I've played have been quality instruments (in my opinion.)
