Mesa 400 Bass Preset

[David Tesch]

Here's what I have settled in on for the moment for bass... I am a Mesa/Ibanez guy for both guitar and bass, so for the record I am using a five string Ibanez that I believe has passive pickups with an amp but everything on the bass is set flat. Years ago I played in a thrash metal band with a dude that had a Mesa 400 and loved his sound. I have been using an Ampeg in Amplitube 4 which actually sounded great, but I had yet to find a bass sound through the AxeFX that I was pleased with. I know good presets for bass are tough to find right now, many out there are older and won't import to the AxeFx III. Try it and let me know what you think, I haven't tracked with it yet to see how it sits, so I'm hoping I'm not jumping the gun sharing it.

Some of the controls may need to be backed off but it's not sounding too hot on my end, it definitely has that semi aggressive fat rounded warm tone that I was looking for.
