This is a excerpt from a disco song I'm nearly done with. I took out all the other tracks except for the drums & bass. http://herculeaneffort.adventuredevelopers.com/bass excerpt.mp3 Comments and criticism are welcome! If you want I can post the disco tune when I'm done with it, too.
Its a little thin for my taste, but I use a good bit of midrange from my MM SR4 to make sure I get a good cut. But thats a personal thing. Otherwise it sounds good. However, the little run that you do at 23 sec drops out. it sounds pretty nice, so you might want to get that up in the mix a little more. Phat Groove!!
Yeah, but I don't really see a way to get it more J bassy-sounding since it's a P-bass. I really want that smooth J-bass tone... so probably the only solution is to buy a J-bass. I think getting a Marcus Miller signature J-bass would really get me that nice slap tone... any other suggestions for basses?
Cool groove But same with other, U could use more mid in your tone to make it a bit fatter and warmer. keep on slapping
For a P Bass, that's a very good tone indeed. In general, it could use more mids, more booty, and more thump. But those are some things that come naturally with a good J bass. -Eric.
