This week we have put together a video showing you how to record bass guitar using a Bass DI box. We will compare the sound quality between running the bass straight in through the mixer as well as going through the Bass DI. If you like this video please subscribe to our channel as we will have more videos soon. Also feel free to check out our site at www.limitless-studios.tk. Thank

Here is a question I received by email.
Message: Hi Adam,
My name is Mohamad Fanouse, i\'m 20 years old , i\'ve been working in recording for almost two years...
I've watched all of your videos and they\'re so cool and usefull, thank ou so much Adam for this cool site.
I'm wondering if you have some videos about recoding the electric bass guitar for rock music especially and other music genres..
i saw the video about the upright bass and it\'s so cool but it would be nice if i know more about the electric bass...
thank you very much Adam

Answer:
There is only one way I record the bass. It's not the only way, but it works.
For the big projects we always record the bed tracks first. The only tracks that are "keepers" is the bass and drums. We hook up a bass to a DI box and run that channel straight into a pre amp. This pre has 2 outputs ( balanced and unbalanced) The balanced goes to the sound card to be recorded, the unbalanced goes to the monitor mix. We are lucky to have a Grace 101 preamp, that gives a very clean "larger then life" sound. We use that setup for almost ever bass track, so to be honest I do not have too much experience in other signal chains. Besides the Grace, there is allot of pre amps that will do a great job.

Here is a rugget phantom powered D.I box that we use with every bass recording. For our bass sound we then plug the DI into a Grace 101.
Your Ideas and Behringer's Energy: An Unbeatable Team
The Ultra-DI can be powered by your console's phantom power or an internal 9-V battery - the DI100 automatically switches between the two. The massive metal encasing and four rugged, oversized rubber corners keep it safe and reliable even under the toughest touring conditions. The rubber corners also allow you to stack several DI100's or place them on top of other gear without running the risk of ground loops. As you can see, Behringer has thought of everything.
