Bass Recording Setup & Pedals with Jon Button - Warren Huart: Produce Like A Pro

We recently did a recording session for Jonah Smith at Sunset Sound Studios with the wonderful Jon Button on bass. Jon is a fantastic bassist who has toured and recorded with many of my favourite artists and bands and artists like The Who, Sheryl Crow, Shakira and many others.

So I thought I'd take the chance to interview Jon about his bass recording chain and setup!

Jon has a wonderful collection of basses and an insanely versatile pedalboard. The tones he gets out of that thing within seconds is absolutely incredible. Please enjoy this video! Thanks so much for sharing you knowledge with us Jon, as always it was an absolute pleasure working with you!

Have a marvellous time recording and mixing,

Warren

4 things that are cool: bass, pedals, Jon and Warren. The amount of cool in this video is too much for human beings... Thanks Jon and Warren!

Hi Warren, I hope you're doing marvellously well!

Today, we're blessed to sit down with the wonderful Jon Button. Jon is an amazing bassist who has toured and recorded with some of my favourite bands and artists such as 'The Who', 'Sheryl Crow' and 'Shakira'.

Jon and I have been working together for a many years and he tracked bass for 'I'll Be Your Man' by James Blunt, which I co-produced alongside Kevin Griffin. In our recent session at Sunset Sound I took the chance to interview Jon about his bass recording chain and setup!

25 years of playing bass, never heard of the foam trick (auto palm muting) Such a beautifully wonderful sound.

This is, well, everything a bassist wants.

That Eventide H9 Harmonizer sounds Amazing. Love the Video!

[davidallenhammond]

Excellent interview.  Seems like a fun guy to work with.  Bump on the Eventide, sounds great.  Thanks Warren.

Such a cool dude, I love his sounds and clever setup.

[SchergeFX]

Thank you for the amazing videos! I love Youtube for guys like you, you give us new possibilities to make our own music

Thanks. lovely old kit there, nice pedal layout too. It's a big ask for the Eventide price - but considering what it does and how good it sounds, you would spend many times that amount on seperate pedals to do it. this channel's never a let-down and always fresh. Well done.
Off to check out Noble!

Ordered the Noble DI and thought I'd be satisfied but now I want that Eventide H9! :(

[claudius]

Wow! Great bass setup! Thanks again for another amazing 'behind the sound' video! ;-)

Love all things bass - you brightened my day with flatwounds and foam!

[stephenfell]

Hi John when you are recording to you mix a DI distorted/overdrive signal with a dry signal and blend them both together at the mixing stage basically a wet dry mix

[boochbass]

Hey Jon Button! Which H9 do you have? Basic or Max?

[michaelparson-mcnamara]

Excellent!   That was as informative as it was enjoyable.You should have checked out his case!  It looks very interesting!  Custom made? I'd take one with a '65 P, '62 Club and '58 P with flats! Yes indeed!
