Experienced
Hello!
I need some help from you guys on how to make bass presets on the Axe FX II that can surprise even experienced bass players I've tried a few times but it didn't sound even close to what I would call impressive. I'm just missing something, maybe the input was to high (?) or I just don't know how to dial in a good bass tone.
The point is, my brother who is a bass player (I hope it's clear that I play the guitar), sent me his bass recorded for a new song of mine and I've made a preset and reamped the thing and it sounded worse than his bass directly in the mix. We're going to play together live soon, so besides the reamping and recording, I would like to prepare at least 2 presets, say one for funk and the other a bit tighter for metal. And all I want is him to say "wow!"
I would be glad if you could offer me a piece of advice, how to start, what's important or crucial, how do you do it and with which sound chain you get what you want? What are the parameters to tweak and so on. I don't actually have a bass but I would experiment further with his recording, I beleive that should be enough to achieve my goal. Even better, it will be made with his bass and his sound. I know I can download from Axechange but I would like to learn the details.
Sorry for this long intro and for my bad accent Thanks a lot in advance. All inputs are welcome.
