Pointless. Why not either show us how to get a good bass tone the real way OR at least show an example of what you are talking about. "Here is how not to do it" is not overly informative.
-
@KaslarProductions I definitely agree with you, but there's now way you'll get a crunchy, dirty tone with insanely boosted mids (which is what I like) if you play with your fingers differently. That's where EQ comes in.
-
As he says tone is mostly in the fingers but if the tone you're after in your record is an aggressive tone then playing aggressively will help - listen to any killers stuff for a fantastic aggressive sounding bass. With music nothing there is not usually a right and a wrong way to do stuff - the right way is what sounds good.

*Chuckle* all you dislike people that think good tone is in your EQ need to think again.. You don't have good tone because you don't have good technique. True, EQ is a larger factor than most other variables such as preamp/tube coloring and compression. but no amount of boosting or cutting on an EQ can replace good playing.
-
@Theshamham keep in mind, they might be mixing in a DI signal an/or another amp.
-
I learned a lot from this video: be an experienced bass player, and don't play as aggressive as you would onstage.. and that will give you good tone

@dthe1o Noone is saying it isn't.

@grindvince did they pay you to advertise them?

I think he describes perfectly how to get a good tone. Good job Matt!

I think he meant that the aggressive style you make with your live playing can cause undesirable noises when recording. Like slapping too hard can pop, cuasing the a clip when recording a track, which can cause the engineer make a unwarranted punch.
