I’m pretty good at dialing in a guitar tone … but bass … nah!

Jazz bass with clanky Rotosound strings, the Rat and 800RB are the keys to the David Sims sound. DrewJD82 is totally right about the strings and setup of the bass itself playing a big part of the sound.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone in history of any musical discussion I've ever been a part of go "I want my bass to sound like Duran Duran, The Haunted or The Jesus Lizard. Nothing else will suffice"

Have you figured out that I’m not like everyone yet?

I have a saying that goes “if you’re not weird, you’re boring”.

That’s the cool thing about utilizing 2 different tracks for the same part, you can fine tune the amount of dirt/clean. It’s precisely how I get bass tracks to sit in a mix.

I see where you’re coming from.
