Bass players are so underrated. As a guitarist of 30+ years, I can't express how important a good bassist is in a band. Without them the drums become hallow and guitars sound weak. They bridge a gap in sound between the two instruments. So if you're a bassist that's feeling under appreciated and sick of the jokes, here's a big THANK YOU from me.

Then they make a video for people so they can learn on something that may have otherwise never been found out without sharing. Warren and the others like him seem to want to just help people do the best they can and give some foot ups along the way.

This is an absolutely great thing! What I also learned from Bryan back in the day - he used 3 amps per one guitar channel. Meaning, you would play the guitar part but there would be 3 tracks recording instead of 1. That way he covered each frequency range (bass, mids, hi) using a different amp. So, now imagine... 3 track per side - that's 6 gtr tracks already. Then you overdub them - that's 12!!!.. and then there could be some wider, more heavy choruses needed when a "middle man" (another guitar part which stands in the middle of the mix) comes in... It took me a while to figure out how to record like that on my own. The sound is... immense! Massive and literally flowing out of the speakers. Thank you, Warren, for bringing this out!

As we wanted those big guitars in the studio with my band, for the first EP we will release in a few months, we did four pairs of electrics: one with a Big Muff in a big cab for the low end, one with a Proco RAT in the same amp as our main sound, one with a Friedman BE-OD as a clangy/crunchy tone, to have all the agressivity of the attacks (as Green Day did on every album since American Idiot), and one with a DS-1 in the smallest amp we could find, to have all the high end that is super ugly on its own but really adds to the whole sound! And of course, this trick!

A lot of metal guys will do something similar with the bass track when recording--you'll record one DI bass track and have another with a ton of distortion, and EQ the hell out of it by completely cutting the highs and lows until there's just a terrible sounding mid-range distorted bass. Then you blend that sucker with the DI bass and it makes the overall track sound HUGE. I started doing it on my own stuff and it really does work. I'll have to try this wah trick though, that's a really great idea actually.

I have actually done the almost-opposite to make the BASS sound a bit more articulate. It only works on heavy-ish rock stuff where the bass was played with a relatively clean, scooped, brand new roundwound strings, played with a pick. I will just plug my strat into the bass amp and play the exact same bassline, except it's an octave up because it's a guitar, on the strat neck and middle pickups. It can also work with the bridge and middle, except my strat is a "fat-strat" and the bridge hum-middle single coil position doesn't sound like it would on a standard strat. It can work with both pickups on a tele though. Either way, use a "quack" setting on a guitar with one pickup reverse-wound, plug it into the same amp you used for bass, play the exact same thing you played on the bass, and add it in very low in the mix (like -28db or -26db, with the bass at -14 or so).

Fantastic. I've been thinking about doing just this kind of thing with a bass because it allows you to play way up the neck when simply doubling which can add a very warm mid-range focus to the key notes driving the melody from the rythm guitar. You could use a static flanger filter effect instead of the wah to get a slightly different flavor of bandpass.
