budget bassist Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 [quote name='Musicman69' post='755727' date='Feb 24 2010, 01:36 AM']I think if it suits the music and the other musicians, particularly the guitarists, it can work. Best with a guitar on clear and maybe the other with modulated effects or even an acoustic. 3 distorted instruments playing at once probably wont sound like much unless youre slightly deranged. Generally I dont really like to hear distorted bass.. thats why I bought a Trace![/quote] lamb of god and machine head's bassist both use fairly heavy overdrive (i think they both use sansamps) and it goes really well with the music, yeah it doesn't cut through the mix amazingly sometimes, but it just blends together really well. Bass doesn't always have to be heard on it's own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low End Bee Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I use a fair amount of dirt. Seems to sit well with the band. The music's not particularly 'heavy' either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
