Everyone’s tone is unique. In fact, when you put a new record on, you can often tell who the bass player is just by listening. In this pack, Mike Pope discusses some of the tools that you can use to create your unique sound. By using the built in controls of your bass along with your hands, you can craft many different sounds, even from one instrument. Take the time to experiment with each concept you learn in this pack and consider the context when deciding on your settings and technique. Most of all, follow your ear.
