Bassman68 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Hi there Recently joined another band concentrating on dance music (Think post-house music electronica/early '90's dance/Snap, Culture beat etc.)) & am looking for some help on effect/sounds to recreate these bass sounds. I appreciate the vast majority of bass sounds in this genre are keyboard based but was thinking along the lines of synth pedals/filters/fuzz boxes? I have a Boss GT6B & an original Line6 Basspod pro & have been toying with the synthbass functions on the GT6B with some 'dubbie' sounds coming from the pod but was wondering if a specific synth pedal might be a better option, something like the Markbass synth pedal perhaps? It's a bit out of my 'comfort zone' playing this style of music as I was never into it at the time but it makes a nice change as there seems to be plenty of work available...

Ant Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 i use the markbass, and whilst its a bit fiddly editing on the computer once you get your head round it you can create some awesome dancey sounds. ive been 100% happy with mine, and im quite tempted by some of their other pedals now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_Bass Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Buy this one and you're set for everything you can remember: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/192056-roland-v-bass/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/192056-roland-v-bass/[/url] I know Fernando personally, he's a great guy and a very serious seller, you won't have any problems dealing with him.

phil.i.stein Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 another option if you can get one is a Korg G5, and a suitable volume pedal. also the Iron Ether xerograph with some fuzz in front of it gets some nice synthy tones.

paul_5 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Triangle wave. The older Boss SYB3 does these really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 You might also want to add a downslope filter. Most filters only offer an upslope on the envelope, but a couple have an up/down switch (EHX QTron, EBS Bassiq, Soundblox BEF, MuTron, etc). The Moog MF-101 doesn't have an up switch, but I get round this by taking a TRS lead from the Envelope out to the Cutoff in & get good results for 80's & 90's synth sounds & even a convincing upright bass sound (when used on it's own).

Jimryan Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I had a boss SYB-3 and its perfect for that. I manage to get the ultimate "there's no limit" sound out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
