Why it sounds like that
Jeremy Davis played a red G-3 on nine or ten songs of the 2013 self-titled album, and he and his tech spent hours finding the bass sound. Ashdown amps were tried in the studio and found to fit well. The bass reached the mix as three to five tracks of one performance, from DI, pedals and amps. The record was kept light on bass.
- Record the bass as one performance, then split it over three to five tracks, each with a different sound source such as DI, pedals or an amp.
- Use a multi-band compressor on the bass to control a build-up in the low mids.
