Really interesting point in Tip 3 about how you lose the low end and high end with old strings. I also do film sound design, and if you want to make an element feel more distant in a scene, one of the first things you do is set both a high and low pass on that track, because those frequency ranges are the ones that drop off more quickly to our ears with distance. So when you're playing with dead strings, what you're almost doing psychologically is pushing the bass into the background. Not always a bad thing (context!), but something to think about.

My number one tip would be to adjust and build your tone in the context of a mix. A tone that sounds incredible in your bedroom will, more often than not, sound wretched in the context of the whole band. Bass KZitemrs who play solo have done a lot of damage in this regard, because all of that high-end information above 6k is entirely unwanted in the mix but sounds cool and hifi in a KZitem video.

Having sold (awesome) bass cabs and advised on amps etc to thousands of bassists my top tips are: 1. Set all your EQ to zero (noon, flat, whatever) to start. 2. Don’t dial in your tone solo, only adjust in the context of the mix. 3. Adjust your tone with your plucking hand. 4. Then with pickup pan. 5. Then EQ. Make sure you listen to how the knobs change the sound IN THE MIX. Feel it, just play and let your hands speak! Ugly solo sounds are usually better in the mix than pretty solo sounds. Don’t be scared to dig in and make percussive noises, if they’re in the pocket it’ll groove!

It's an interesting cultural difference to me, vis a vis the proliferation of Fender. Outside of metal bassists, Fender is pretty ubiquitous. Almost everyone has one. But in the metal bass community, they are really not common. There are a few players, and a couple of really high profile ones like Steve Harris. But for the most part, the metal guys I know who even have a Fender at all use it as a backup, and it's usually a J. Much, much more common are Spector, Warwick, Dingwall, and Ibanez. Part of it is the look, of course, but the sound is a major component as well. They are a lot more versatile, I think. The couple of producers I know strongly prefer when someone brings an active 5 string of a more modern design in for a metal session, because "you can do just about anything with them."

When I first started, I wanted a very bright in-your-face tone and always had a lot of treble in my EQ and played away from the neck. I also used to change my strings like crazy. As I got older, I started leaning towards a more warmer, subtle tone with less treble. I also stopped changing my strings that often. My bass tone is still noticeable in a mix, especially if I pause and drop out during a passage, but it's far from being aggressive. So for me, it's about what works for you at a certain point in your life.

I think one thing that's super important - and which you cover well here with Geddy - is everything plays a factor in your tone and sound, but nothing more than how *you* play the instrument. I've played a bunch of Fenders/Gibsons/various active basses, but my main workhorse for years has been a Rickenbacker 4003 & the amount of snobbery and eyerolling it gets from fellow bassists in terms of playability and sound is astounding, nearly always before they hear me play or in a set. It's only afterwards they normally ask what pedals/EQ I use to make it sound "like that" and then they get hugely confused when they find out I don't really use any beyond a touch of overdrive on my amp. Dialing in a tone and playing more hard/softly or altering your playing position between neck/pickups/bridge, pick/fingers/slap and palm muting is vital. Sure, you'll get vastly different sounds by punching in pedals or using different basses and strings, but you're missing out on a world of what the instrument can do if you do that before altering your approach to playing. You can really easily set an instrument up to have some crunch if you play it hard but equally sound full and rounded with your hands and palm (and that's before you get into adjusting your tone settings). It'll also give you the biggest range in your playing with a group.

What you guys are showing is not the tone, but sound. So pls for future do not write in title tone but sound, because too big difference. For example when we're talking about tone, it's more about kind of virtuosity, like if i play Jazz Bass with bridge pick up and i would play some Jaco stuff and then Jaco would play same jazz bass with same settings same stuff (song). It would big difference, because of virtuosity then Jaco has been practicing for years. And that's with we call tone. Peace ✌

One thing frequently glossed over that has a huge effect on tone: not just pick technique (where, how hard, plucking versus dragging through a string), but the type of pick. Different gauges can radically alter your tone from bright and springy to round and mellow. It's a small thing that can make your bass sound very, very different.

I play bass with a guitar amp and my bass is set up, but incomplete. So, essentially, when I play with a pick/plectrum or finger style, it sounds fine. But slap is a little too punchy, and some excess tones that don't sound smooth like V. Wooten, Bootsy, or Marcus Miller. Then again, been playing bass a year and a half, long way to go. I bought a VOX amplug headphone amp which sounds good, but slap is still a challenge because it's set up kind of in the middle, as in it sounds good for finger or pick play or palm muting but, slap is tough. Especially when practicing double thump, which I will say is coming along SLOWLY. As of now, my bass slapping has that punchy punk rock sound. I can only slap and pop octave shapes. , If I were in a band, I'd be fired lol. Still though, Ian and Scott, bass is better than guitar. I love bass so much

regarding EQ: I use an '82 passive Jazz with a maple neck and the 70's era pickup spacing (4" center to center). It's a bit brighter and has better sustain than my 1965 Jazz had. I use LaBella White Tape Wound strings on it (brighter than the black tapes). I run DNA (David Nordschow Amplification) and Eden amps. Both have great clarity and articulation. That's not surprising because David founded both companies. With my Eden gear, which has semi-parametric EQ's besides the standard bass and treble shelving EQ's, I set everything up at noon and then bump the low mids up to about 1:30 anywhere between 250Hz (my preferred setting) and 500Hz. Sometimes I will cut the treble down to 11 o'clock, but usually leave it flat. The DNA-800 amp I use has the bass EQ set to 35Hz and I found I need to bump it up to about 1 o'clock to get the same sound I get out of my Eden amps with the Bass EQ (30Hz) set flat. The low mids on the DNA are set at 500Hz and I boost those usually to 1:30. I also have an Eden WTDI, which is a stompbox DI with a built-in Eden WT preamp. The mids will toggle between 500Hz and 2KHz. I always run it at 500Hz and it has the BEST sound when recording at a professional recording studio. Had a recording session in Seattle where I had to use my WTDI to avoid the too much crosstalk when having the drums in the same room. The raw recordings came out so good without them touching EQ or Compression that both the owner of the studio and his sound engineer came out to see what the heck I was using. I was surprised that you didn't mention plucking hand placement besides directly over the pickups. Really need to remove the cover from over the neck pickup, but you can get all kinds of nuances in your tone in the fly just by moving your hand a little towards the neck for a darker sound or towards the bridge pickup for a brighter sound. It's not an either/or it's an anywhere in between or beyond the pickups.

If you set up your bass amp/preamp to sound great in the bedroom or on stage, don't expect it to sound great on recording. Jim Lill on his YT channel described how to get the tone you hear on records. Spoiler: you won't get that just from your amp/DI listening through a bass amp speaker

Hey guys love the channel do you think you guys could do another episode on this. I mostly play guitar and picked up the bass recently and loving it more actually. I’ve found the key secret to the guitar tone which is the speaker and microphone placement which really changes the tone of the guitar. Do you think you guys could make a episode like that for bass it would cool to see.

There are so many variables to getting a great bass 'tone' . The stage, the room, the sound person, the frequencies of the other instruments in the band the experience of the player to know the difference between sitting in your room tone and a tone that will work in a band context. Your mood, your strings , your bass---your rig. There still is no substitute for experience .

The bass tone on Cryptopsy's album "none so vile" is one of the sickest tones I've ever heard.
