That's exactly what you get with the Ampeg SVX models. 100% pure Ampeg Bass. Like AmpliTube and our other guitar. To model an amplifier, you.
There are specific pedals with ampeg. And in the custom shop it lets you just search for bass gear. It depends on what sound you are going for as far as what you should get.
Honestly I would suggest getting the Ampeg SVX package as a whole. You save money that way and then you will have a lot of the best bass presets that AmpliTube has to offer. Driver Hp Scanjet G3010 Xpressbet. I use these presets quite often in my recordings. I don't think there is a limit to trials, so just start playing the ampeg collection presets and when it says gear not found. Give it all a try.
Of course if you don't like it all, pick and choose. I would suggest trying stuff at a notch down from 'terrible level'. Just so you can really hear the difference in sound.
The point of the bass isn't to be like a lead guitar. It is meant to go with drums and be the backbone of the song. You want it to be heard but usually not stand out.
There are exceptions. ShawnLeonhardt wrote:The point of the bass isn't to be like a lead guitar. It is meant to go with drums and be the backbone of the song. You want it to be heard but usually not stand out.
There are exceptions. I come out of the Jack Bruce/Lemmy Kilmister/Allen Woody/etc. School (?) of bass playing, and so I guess that makes my approach such an exception.
But, of course, like everything else, it all depends on what you want things to sound like. If it gets you there, then it's good. I would give a thumbs up to the Ampegs; I've used mostly the SVT-4Pro and SVT Classic models, sometimes combining them in a single preset. I'd also give a thumbs up to the 360Bass Preamp (= Acoustic 360) and matching cab; I've not used it as extensively, but it will do great classic rock bass tones (cf. John Paul Jones) and will also dirty-up very well (cf. Fox of Grand Magus, though I think technically he uses an Acoustic 450). I also like the Orange AD200 -- though bizarrely (?) enough, my go-to amp/cab set-up for bass has become the Orange OR120 + PPC412 models!
That really is a set-up intended for guitar, but it works great for an updated '70s-style 'lead bass' kind of thing. I've even used the British Lead S100 amp for bass on one recording. So it's worth playing around with unexpected gear (I've seen Aaron Beam of Red Fang playing bass through a JCM2000!) or combining guitar and bass gear in a single preset (like, dirty higher end through a guitar amp and cleaner lower end through a bass amp). You can also get a lot of interesting variation by swapping around cabs, etc.; even if you stick to 'normal' bass amps/cabs, you can stick an Orange AD200 in front of an Ampeg cab, etc.
