Hey all, just wondering if anyone can offer insight in creating tones for bass downtuned to G#. I use a light pick and it's a big low string, .158 i think and it always has a stiffness to it. I find it difficult to get something clear but still full and "squishy". Using a dingwall ng2. Other strings sound fine and tonally consistent but the big string is always a struggle. Have been using axe fx 2 and 3 since 2013 so know my way around it but have never been super satisfied with the bass tones i get. Guitar sounds great through a real amp.
Generally aiming for a Nolly type distorted tone using 2 amps in separate lines, one clean di type tone and then blending a high gain guitar amp. Sat down to try to make a single line clean tone tonight and was getting annoyed with that too. Tried the sv amps, clean guitar amps, bass cab, no cab.
Is it the same old story of going for an amp in the room instead of a recorded tone?
