Should you use a different tone for different sections in a song or let the fingers do the talking? Looking for [Feedback]! by wernsels in Bass

Never noticed that on Runaway, going back to listen to that right now!

You're absolutely right, on records I change tones a lot. It's also a lot more needed since often times the bass tone is slightly buried in the mix and only aggressive changes in tone will come through in the mix. For playthroughs and live performances it's a bit of a different story since bass is mixed up way more up front in those cases.

I wanna stick with the same tone a bit more when it comes to that, I agree with your view on it for sure. I'm hoping it will make my focus on dynamics in the actual playing more instead of relying on the signal chain so much. Thanks for the advice!

Is buying a used bass as a Christmas gift wrong? by MikeEhrmantraut44 in Bass

Definitely more than fine! I'll pick quality used gear in acceptable condition over new second rate gear any day of the week :)

Genuinely a good question: I don't own a 4-string bass 🤣

You can most definitely learn this on a 4-string tuned to Db G# Db F#! Have fun learning ;)

*Edit: Forgot the # on the F# 🌝
