Tone Recipies

Settings on what? You'll get 10 million answers to the most vague question ever posed to TalkBass. Different amps, different cabs, different basses, strings, pedals, rack units, rooms, recording systems, other instruments you've got to compete sonically with... too many variables. Tweak to the mix. What sounds good in the bedroom, doesn't always work in the DAW, or the club, or the concert hall.
Are you asking for tones using effects/pedals? Or did this thread just get put in the wrong place?
If you're asking about settings for basses and amps you'd need to let people know what gear you're using to get back meaningful answers. If you're asking about effects you'd need to let us know what effects (or even what type of effects) you're talking about.
10:00, 10/10, 10/11, 10/20?
This is indeed a super vague question. Unless this is a thread dedicated to people just sharing whatever cool tone they are working on at the moment and what effects/settings they are using to achieve it.
For what style? What kind of instrumentation? What kind of room? What amp? Cabinet? Again, it's too vague of a question. I just start with the knobs at the 'noon' position and adjust to taste.
Grandma's Recipe for Tone:
• 1 cup Orange™ AD200b
• 2 cups Orange™ bass cabs
• 2 tbsp audio cable
• 2 tsp speaker cable
• 1 tsp IEC power cord
• Dash of overdrive and fuzz to taste
Mix ingredients together in a medium to large size venue, turn amp to 10, and play until well-rocked.
Let tubes cool before removing from stage.

I think that maybe these kinds of things don't work the way you think they do. Your question is interesting in theory but in theory communism is a good idea. In theory.
