The Logic Off Topic list

I have a Rickenbacker 4001 and a Fender Jazz; although the Fender almost always sound better in the traditional sense, the Rickenbacker simply seems to sit better in the mix on many occasions. I find that when it comes to placing a bass in a mix there are no rules but you can be sure that if the bass sounds good on its own then it probably sucks when played along with the rest. Obviously you also have to decide which should be the deeper sound, the kick drum or the bass. If you have a deep kick you should probably use a low cut filter to keep the bass out of that area or vice versa. When it comes to EQing basses many people use the trick to have the bass on two or more tracks all EQed differently, if you do that you can bring in the bassy ones on the thin parts and roll them off when it gets too boomy, this works for samples as well.
