Pete Academy Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 I gave up listening to other bass players' sounds years ago. There's no point. When you hear a great bass sound and you realise it's a cheap instrument, you want to put away that four grand Roscoe. It is, and always will be, in the fingers. Quote
chris_b Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) Joe Dart has a sound? On the gigs I've seen him playing Fender basses and Markbass amps and in the studio a variety of basses and Ampeg amps. It seems he doesn't stick to any gear. edit: found it. . . .

dannybuoy Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 A lot of the recordings sound different so he doesn't have 'one sound'. But you can't say it's all in the fingers when a massive chunk of that tone in It Gets Funkier is down to flats, a Musicman pickup, and a bit of light dirt/compression/eq. Quote
Winny Pooh Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 There are loads of mids & suble overdrive on that sound. Has more to do with the amp/re amping than the bass used in that video. I would start with a lightly driven "tube" model in your DAW and use some wide band mid eq and maybe two treble notch cuts in the right places. Quote
