Ricklh said:I've been eyeing some low-dollar bass guitars but I have used my old 80's Yamaha keyboard to supply some bass sounds on some of my demo's. What do you use for bass sounds? The real thing or some electronic form of bass? Isn't keyboard bass sufficient for basic backing purposes?

here is a great trick i learned, play your bass part on your guitar, but dont play too fast or it wont be beleivable, won t sound like fat strings so no hot riffs
then import that into n track, use the pich shift effect, one octive lower, and boom you have a great bass , really sounds real,,add some compression
learned this from mac, a real recording enginer , hangs out at audiominds.com , so to give credit where it is due...
Yeah, I use the pitch shift now. At the time I did the recording, I didn't have the software (didn't even know there was any, I was a newbie). I guess the only problem with that would be trying to reproduce it live, but they make good bass processors now that will do that. I can't afford one yet...dave in toledo said:i use a bass but
