Hey guys,

after some advice ( arent we all!).

I need some advice on what to listen for when mixing Bass Guitar for southern gospel music. All the parts are locked very tight with the kick drum. Bouncy low end has been a struggle for me. I guess I am asking for some starting points but more importantly why something is a starting point. in other words, what part of the bass sound bounces with the kick drum?

What is your favorite combination of Bass Guitar pickups and Direct Injection/Mic Pre for the classic rock sound?
Do you like aftermarket pickups or are the American Fender pickups the ticket? You may throw in your advice for compressor, but you'll probably just say 1176.
