3 techniques for aggressive fingerstyle bass tone

Cut through the mix by changing your technique. I'll show you 3 ways that you can get a really aggressive, in your face tone with your fingers. In this demo I use an Ibanez Roadstar 2 RB630 Precision bass with a fresh set of D'addario XL roundwound bass strings. It's recorded direct into a Saffire 6 USB interface by way of a Zoom G1XOn guitar processor. The processor is setup to accentuate the mids, has a ton of compression and is using a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier simulator. These things were $70 and sound great for a punchy in your face sort of tone.
