THE BASS PREAMP THAT DOES IT ALL?!

I've been a huge fan of the @Tech21nyc Bass Driver DI for many years now. But then my friend Denis lend me his @Tech21nyc VT Bass DI. The VT Bass DI is such a versatile preamp that can give you anything from a light boost to gnarly overdrive and fuzz tones or even modern metal tones :)

Basses I used:

Greetings From Marcus: Frankenstein Jazz Bass (Alembic Pickups)
Playing Dart: Music Man Sterling in serial mode
Finnish Glass: Sandberg Ken Taylor 5 String
Modern 5 String: Sandberg Ken Taylor 5 String
Reggae: Sandberg Ken Taylor 5 String
The (Punk) Rock Show: Custom Fender Jaguar Bass (SD Quarter Pound Precision Pickup)
Give it Away: Frankenstein Jazz Bass (Alembic Pickups)
Jamerson: Custom Fender Jaguar Bass (SD Quarter Pound Pickup and Foam mute)
Cheers Lemmy!: Frankenstein Jazz Bass (Alembic Pickups, neck pickup only)
Jaco: Frankenstein Jazz Bass (Alembic Pickups, bridge pickup only)
In your Fuzz!: Custom Fender Jaguar Bass (SD Quarter Pound Precision Pickup)
Raging Tim: Music Man Stingray 2 Band (1986)


*Edit because the settings for bite and the speaker sim are not that easy to see:
bite on, speaker sim off
bite on, speaker sim on
bite on, speaker sim on
bite on, speaker sim off
bite off, speaker sim on
bite on, speaker sim on
bite on, speaker sim on
bite off, speaker sim on
bite off, speaker sim on
bite off, speaker sim on

bite on, speaker sim off


I recorded the Bass in Cubase 10 and only added a tiny bit of compression on each track to match the levels a bit. The dry signal was recorded through the parallel output of the VT Bass DI.

Enjoy!:)
