We're having lots of difficulty in recording this instrument. The guitar is a gorgeous Vintage 1964's Hofner Volin Bass, used by Paul McCartney and the likes. I'm not finding it easy to make this sound good in the mix.
I'm not sure if any of you are familar with this sound of this fairly quick bass quitar, it's got a very bouncy twangy sound. The humbucker pickups on it, which are sweet! anyway it's a vintage sounding bass, and lacks those lows that modern solid bass guitars bring. i've been trying to make this fit in the mix with great difficulty! I mean glueing it Im using Waves MaxBass in the signal chain an idea? Restraints:sadly We've got a naff a$$ bass amp, mic'd up using D112 + Clean DI'd, + Sm57 for (the naff a$$ amp sounding) tube sound.
(other mics we've got AKG C414 XL2, SM58, SM57 just incase it helps) Also tried di'ing a clean sound running it through amplitude bass amps? just sounds lifeless and atad flat, even after compression (C1), Eq'ing, Limiting, Im not getting this at all.... as you can probably tell from my post...So anyway
....if any of you clever people got an ideas you wanna throw down my way, always appreciated! or even better if anyone recorded bass using this guitar!!! share your thoughts with me...
