I need a great, but CHEAP(!), bass for di (direct-in, no amp) recording!
I NEED the tone to be professional and modern, and above all; HUGE! Like the bass tone on Nickelback - This is how you remind me, or 3 doors down - Here without you (i do NOT like the guitarsound on those two so let's not get into a discussion about that ) (Especially 3 doors down has a very horrible digital radio-tone to guitars and vocals, that i do NOT care for.)
If you have not heard those songs, then the best way to describe what i want is that i want a bass that is somewhat "too huge", somewhat "too deep", and i dont want the bass to really be an instrument you can dial into with your ears and hear which notes it is playing... i more want the bass sound to be "invisible" and just FELT.
I want my bass to cover the entire mix as a warm blanket, but NOT KILL ANY of the other sounds.
If you are not into modern rock and don't care for that tone maybe you should not answer this thread(?) Beacuse I do not want an "old" type of sound at all. (Where the bass is more "distinguished", but has much less low bottom)
Anyone who knows "exactly" or has an idea of a bass that is able to produce a tone as close to it as possible to what i described above?
It would be cool if the bass was more versetile than that, but it's not a real big issue as regardless of my recording project being hiphop, agressive rock or pop i WILL want that bass tone and none other 9 out of 10 times.
I plan to record my tones through a TL Audio FAT1 - I hope this will work well, (It is a tube driven compressor with instrument di's!)
But if anyone has objections to this please tell me!
I am a COMPLETE bass newbie so PLEASE do reccomend me specific, cheap basses that are avalible on the market today (be it 2nd hand or new).
Pricerange: $300-$500
