Bass tone

[danresn]

I just want some feedback on the bass tone here. Its only a cheap ashton bass that I got for a hundred dollars, eleven rack and a couple things of sans amp but I think it sounds alright. So whats it missing? Is it too fizzy? Those kind of things, and by the way I know the mix is poor, I just through something together for this.

I guess it depends on what kind of tone you're looking for really. I would probably dial the fizz back a bit though. I'm also using the Eleven Rack and a cheap bass ha. I've found that a cool thing to do is to record the bass as DI, then reamp it with a couple rigs. Get like a fat one and a fizzy one, then fade em around with the DI track, too, to find a sound you like!

Thats what I did, I reamped with sans amp a couple of time. The main track is eleven rack though, one clean samsamp, another distorted sans amp.

I'll have another look at the fizziness though

And the fizz could work, too, maybe. Its kinda hard to say until you hear it with the guitars and stuff.

+1, you need a whole mix for context.
