Hey everyone,
I've completed the drum tracks of the songs I've started and I'm ready to track bass. I'm no bass player and I don't own a bass. That being said, I don't want any specific stand-out tone for the bass tracks. I kind of just want a very bassy sound that blends well with distinguishable notes with little overtones. If any of you listen to Acoustic Alchemy, that's the type of sound I guess I'm thinking of; like the bass part could be busy and interesting but it blends well because there's little overtones. For the sake of convenience, I was wondering if I could use a whammy pedal to detune my guitar an octave, plug it in DI and use some amp plug ins to achieve this bass sound. I've tried it out and it's difficult to tell if it works, given it's not in the context of a produced song. If this works, any advice on how to pull it off well? And if I need to just go out and borrow a bass, any tips for tracking a bass DI will be gladly appreciated. Sorry for my awkward wording, and thanks in advance!
