molan Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 This is a seriously nice bass. In fantastic condition and has that 'sound' that Smiths are famous for Only traded by me as I was yearning to have back the MTD that Josh & I have bounced back & forth a few times :lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molan Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Could just be my speakers Josh but you could maybe try bringing the bass up in the mix a bit and/or add some high end eq - it's sounding very subdued & a bit hard to really hear the core bass tone (or maybe do a few versions so people can work out which sounds best on their individual speakers/headphones).

RhysP Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I can't hear the bass either - the guitar is much too loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've mixed on separate channels you could even lose the backing completely or maybe just stick a click in? Are you using amp & speaker simulation settings as well? If so then maybe try something a bit brighter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee650 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Aye mate backing track far too loud drowning the bass tone far too much, can hear enough to know its some tasty playing though, and a lovely sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Ditto, what I can hear sounds wicked, but the bass is very low in the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 well ...it is a good effort to demo the bass... and who wants to really have to mix it... just take the guitar out, IMV.. But anyway... typical Smith sound. Slight compressed and clipped mids for slap and a gobby rear pickup sound for fingers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 Right, raised and cut some levels, hope these are better: [url="http://www.muziboo.com/Josh535/music/smith-growl-again"]Smith Growl[/url] [url="http://www.muziboo.com/Josh535/music/smith-slap-again"]Smith Slap[/url] Also bumping up to say that I will entertain offers of 3 basses for one.

molan Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Bass is definitely louder - bit of distortion though on the slap one? Anyway - it's a great sounding bass, fabulous hi-fi tone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
