darkandrew Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 [quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1503340020' post='3357415'] Bass - Amp (set flat) In fact 9 times out of 10 I DI straight from the bass and don't even bother with the amp. [/quote] I've got to say, I've always been the same. Any amp I use is basically for my own amusement as I have always DI'd straight into the desk when recording - however, ever since I started gigging and recording in the late 80s, I've always used basses with active preamps built in (both with and without active pickups) so maybe it would have been different if I had used purely passive basses?

Elfrasho Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) I'm a jazz bass into an ms60b as my preamp. I've got an amp but it's just used when I really need to. I'm currently using the svt amp sim as my main sound and eq in the ms60b . Dead easy! Edited September 27, 2017 by Elfrasho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtcat Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Two setups for me. 1. BASS - Aguilar DB750 - Eden 410 2. (and rapidly becoming rig of choice) BASS - Helix - Pa The helix is ridiculously good. SVT for rock, GK GB800 for funk, Ampeg B15 for motown, squeaky clean for pop. All at the touch of a foot switch.

Graham Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Jazz 5 string with rounds, both pickups and tone on full into an EBS DI or amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Getting my sound is always a struggle. My tone comes from my fingers, that's easy. Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 My signal chain in just a cable basically Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Preffered :- Fender Jazz into Ampeg SVT4 Pro into either Berg HT322 or Orange OBC 115 & 210 Mostly used as Ampeg unreliable is my GK 1001RBii head with Berg cab. I like a touch of compressor too. Ampeg has built in comp. Opto comp with GK head. Depending on style of music i may use my Fender PJ deluxe.

Hazy Bass Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Hmmm ,,, the signal chain for my core tone? The head bone connected to the neck bone The neck bone connected to the shoulder bone The shoulder bone connnected to the arm bone The arm bone connected to the wrist bone The wrist bone connected to the finger bones Dat tone dat tone dat bass tone Dat tone dat tone dat bass tone Dat tone dat tone dat bass tone Now hear the tone of the bass! (with apologies to author and songwriter James Weldon Johnson*) *No, I'd never heard of hime either, but that's why there's Wikipedia Oh, yes, and the Thunderfunk helps enormously too ... plus a few pedals ... and cabs ... but really, with so much quality kit around these days it's easy to get fixated on the equipment, but the truth is if you play well you'll sound good whatever you are playing through (and vice versa) ... that doesn't mean you have to be a virtuoso musician, but your focus should be on what/how you are playing rather than what equipment you are playing through! ... just my thoughts obviously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Rick -> tuner -> OC2 -> VT DI -> Muff -> Small Clone -> Flint -> LM II -> DB210 The core tone is Bass -> VT DI -> Amp. The extra pedals are just extra fun; I'm trying to build a board that covers a lot of ground musically and experimentally with minimum knob twiddling.

mikel Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Bass, cable, amp, cab, simple. If the room has odd acoustics then I use the controls on the bass and the amp. It always sounds different out front anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
