Dirty fretless

[paul_5]

Anybody else recording fretless bass with just a tinge of valve overdrive? I'm absolutely [i]loving[/i] the sound of it. I'm two tracks into redoing all of the bass for a solo project (because I can) and have decided that the entire project will be played on a fretless (not so much the guitars though). As a massive Rush fan though I like my Jazz bass tones to have a little bit of 'hair' on them, so I cranked up the DHA the other night and, well, BOOM!

I've finally found 'my sound'. (smug smiley).

Hooray for me!

Where do I upload clips to?

Looking forward to hearing it.

That groove was bad-ass! Never heard a bass sound like that before.

Anyone know what bass he's playing there? It doesn't have a "P" Pickup.

Nice - What's with the mask though? Is this chap a part-time wrestler too?

Yes, is true; I am Nacho...

Just had a listen. I see why you like it, very nice. Now pop a filter after the VT1 for some funk!

Got me gassing for a fretless again.

Do it do it do it (etc...)
