Profiler for Bass

ohcrapitskurt · May 2nd 2017

so the other day i filled in for my friends band on bass. not having any bass equipment I went online and found an Amped SVT bass profile. restrung an old ESP bass, borrowed an 8x10 and set up the KPA. IT WAS FREAKING INSANEEEE! never in my life did experience such an awesome bass tone and sound. it was beyond heavy,clear and the power that came from it was insane. i had it running into an 8x10 on stage and the FOH. everyone in the crowd (it was a metal/hardcore show. Sheer Terror/Billyclub Sandwich) was blown away by the sound of the bass and were coming up to me like "what is that thing?! it sounds amazing!" i've had this same reaction with my guitar settings but i run it through a Line 6 Firehawn 1500.

just wanted to let bass players out there know.

Awesome! Well done, Kurt.

Yeah, if what I've heard through headphones plugged directly into the Kemper are anything to go by, I'm not surprised at all.

So detailed, organic and alive, IMHO.

Hey man, that's a pretty-serious-sounding project for Garage Band!

I'm limited to a Mac tower's built-in speaker at the moment; this 2012 model literally gives me no bass at all. Cannot hear even a single note, much as I tried.

I'm sure it sounds great 'though, given our discussion. Well done, Kurt.

thank you very much! i wish it was serious! hard to find reliable people to jam with now-a-days that are on the same musical influence you are. Im in another band, Metal/Hardcore band but they are pretty close minded when it comes go other genres, which is why ive been doing this just myself hahaah

I know what you mean. Even if you do find guys who are into the same music as you, it's often a struggle to get them to come on time to practices, practice the material, etc.

Indeed, AJ.

Sign o' the time, me reckons. My brother's 25 years younger than I (generation Y), and is a serial offender. I've lost count of how many bands he's been in. There's a distinct lack of commitment and old-school values there.

All you can do is hang in there, Kurt.
