Episode show notes:

In this episode, we're going to take a deep dive into the anatomy of a rock bass guitar tone. We'll explore the different components that make up the sound of a bass guitar and how they can be manipulated to achieve the desired tone.

This episode on bass guitar tone was inspired by a message that we got from our long time listeners in a band called Stepa. 

They were fascinated by a particular bass pedal that we're talking about on this episode, too, the Darkglass Microtubes Infinity.

 

Stepa suggested doing a breakdown of its features and a deep dive into the pedal, while also mentioning alternatives that we all have available in our DAWs. 

 

Because we agree that this pedal is pretty phenomenal, we thought we should do an episode on what it is that makes tools like this so valuable, what we're actually able to manipulate with it and what makes up a great bass tone in the end.
