Anyone have suggestions for a good Chris Botti/smooth jazz bass tone?

    Hey gang,


    When I branch out from my usual metal leanings as far as music goes, I also dig smooth jazz and in particular, the tones and production from Sting's trumpet player, Chris Botti, as heard here on a song I would love to cover at some point. Anyone have any suggestions on what profile might best be used to try to emulate this bass tone?

    It's hard to say. It all depends on which bass an pickups you are using. But at least no overdriven bass profile.

    I use the Ton Ham Clean on pretty much every style that isn't distorted bass.

    Also try the David Eden (amp name) profiles.

    Wave Bass 72 can also work. There's really no shortcut for just trying out a bunch of profiles with your bass. 18 Ampeg SVT 400 and Bronco Bassman TV are a little grittier.


    I make a "testing" folder and if they are good I move them into a Favs folder. Then there are some that are sorted for the bass I'm using.

    These profiles go to 11!
