When did $1500 become not a lot of money

[TheLastCrankers]

How to get a great bass sound, modern style:
Step 1: Get a dingwall (any will do)
Step 2: Get a darkglass distortion (any will do)
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit

Reminds me so much of the latest glassjaw album. Easily my favorite recorded aggressive bass tone and this is almost spot on to it.

[BoyAditya]

That Tyler frequency splitter is awesome!

[Thegiacobass]

The high end only sound is basically Nolly's tone in Periphery.

[jeremychamplin]

Maybe its just me but i would kill for just that clean tone

[Fddr]

Cool video. If anyone is looking to get this sound and is on a budget there is an alternative which sort of does the same thing.
The Tech 21 DP-3X splits the signal, compresses the low end, distorts the mids and highs, has a XLR with a cab sim (you just can't load IR's onto it) and has a tuner built in.
Whilst it may not have as many features of this board it certainly is cheaper and you can still get a variety of tones, including pretty much all those shown in this video.

[RJMelling]

my board is set up primarily for playing Bass in a proggy metal band but I also play a little Guitar.

Signal chain is:

1. Digitech Jimi Hendrix Wah. (for the face searing Purple Haze fuzz tone and Machine Gun Univibe)

2. Boss GT1B bass processor with FS7 expansion footswitch. (for funky QFilter, trippy Tera Echo, synths, octaves, looping, delays, Wah, bitcrushing, solo boost... allsortsa craaaazyness)

3. Boss OS2 (overdrive blended with distortion as a dB booster)

4. Devin Townsend Ocean Machine dual-delay + reverb. (an AWESOME pedal - for psychedelia, atmosphere, Loops, creepiness... and Total. Sonic. Destruction)

5. Digitech Jam Man Solo XT with FSX3 expansion footswitch. (for one shot samples and electronica looped beats and harsh samples)

6. Boss BF2 Flanger (for astral travel) same one that Justin Chancellor uses 😜 apparently)

7. Morley Wah / volume. (for when it all gets too mental and I have to shut the volume off!)

Played thru a Cliff Burton Aria Pro 2 and a 400w bass amp 😀

Guitars: Line 6 variax, and Jackson JSX94 😉

A tuner, alpha omega, Sans Amp, hyper luminal ...done!!

[lsforce]

Being in a band with one guitar I have come to pretty similar setup - a booster, that horrible tuner, mxr compressor, Darkglass b7k and that noise gate in the end :) I have already decided to upgrade to new alpha omega but that frequency splitter turns into my priority now - I like the option for clean low end :) Thank you!

[onetymebigtyme]

Darkglass does wonderful things to your gritty tone

[gregg]

The Tech 21 dUg Pinnick pedal is a real good pre amp/ distortion type pedal also. Plus you can never go wrong with a plain old Sans Amp DI bass driver pedal too. I have all of these, Dark Glass, Tech 21 and the Sans Amp and I use them on two separate boards. One is a small grab and go fly rig type and the other is my main board which is pretty large. That board has all my time bassed stuff, delay, chorus, octave, harmonizer.

[SHARt_murmur]

Never heard of that Tyler pedal, great find man.

[bertrandmajorik]

Thanks for the Lightning Bolt mention, I discovered some thing good.

[eveythingthatsadam]

That awkward moment when the dry signal into pro tools, sounds better than hitting it with $2500

[christophervaca]

I can't judge the sound without hearing it in a mix.

[justsupersteve]

"so this is the high pass sound"
*Fart sounds*

[derekmccabe]

THIS is a really nice new modern bass setup, I would replace the tuner and the fuzz and add in an octive... but the Tyler with COMP on low end and Alpha Omega on highs IS the sound.

[johannkorn]

dude ... I found that to be a really nice and thought through signalway and I'm not even a bass player

[metalion]

Alpha omega needs full frequency to sound the best methinks
