Bass Amp For Recording Rock - Zep Sound

Submitted by anonymous on

I'm trying to get a nice sounding bass sound that emulates the

early Zep stuff. Looks like he used an acoustic 360. Any idea if there is a way to get that sound with some pedals or some of the new type of amps?



Thanks.

Maybe try the Ampeg SVT DI. I know my old SVT (ALL tube) classic 1970's rig (with 9 ten inch speakers) was awesome at that type of sound. But that's vintage gear, and it cost a bit when and if you can find something like that for sale.

Maybe the Aguilar would be nice for that type of sound?

Or try pluging just the bass guitar DIRECTLY into a DI box or a (dare I say it) compressor, sometimes that can get that round phat sound John Paul Jones got.

The REDDI is real nice I hear.
