[quote name='Basszilla' post='190297' date='May 2 2008, 09:26 AM']Some of my favourite sounds for me have come from 'cheaper' basses. They're just tools at the end of the day.
I just recorded a fair portion of my album with an old jap bass I bought off ebay ages ago, it sounds great in the mix..
When it comes to recording and capturing sounds, you'll find that gear snobbery doesn't really wash in the mix. Most things sounds good as long as they are intoned correctly and played very tight. More often than not, compression and EQ is used during the mix to the extent where it takes on a sound of it's own anyway.
It all depends on the individual. I prefer 2nd or 3rd hand basses that have a story to tell. I've played a variety of brands from cheap to expensive and they all bring something different to the table. IMO of course.[/quote]
