that's your average organic bass sound. you can get that from just fucking with eq's and throwing on a little reverb through your bass amp. sounds like you should turn up the mids and highs and cut the lows a little bit. use a pick instead of your fingers to get more of a staccato "plucky" sound (if you fingerpick it'll sound bassier/warmer). couldn't hurt to get a bass effects box or something. NI guitar rig is a little system-resource heavy so i try not to use it (unless you have a nice ASIO soundcard to run it through). hope that helps.

that's exactly what I'm looking for, an organic bass guitar sound

It sounds like they cut most of the low ends off and upped the mids more

I've tried using a pick, but it sounds too "slap-bass" like

I think they added a small attack to the plucks probably

thanks all!

if anyone has the perfect patch for guitar rig, please paste here
