Hi,
I play the bass in a progressive metal band and I've been trying to get my sound out of the mix for quite some time now, without success.
My rig is:
Ibanez BTB705dx
Line 6 pod HD500
Ampeg SVT-4 amp
Mesa Standard Powerhouse 2x15 cab
The kind of tone I'm trying to get is like Dream Theatre's "Home" intro or Tool's Justin Chancellor lead parts.
I'm also trying to get this kind of synth bass sound Colin Edwin has at the beginning of Porcupine Tree's "The start of something beautiful".
Can someone help me find these tones? I've been looking everywhere for answers and doing my own tests for more than a year now, in vain.
Sorry I didn't manage to get youtube links on this post, but the songs are easy to find and the bass sounds I'm talking about are right at the beginning the first time the bass kicks in.
