Need a nervous bass
Here is a clip from soundcloud that we're working on. The timing is a little off still but good enough to see what I'm looking for. I'm thinking Phaser but can't seem to find one I like. The track is my Takamine thru the C1 comp, doubler2, and Enigma stereo... I can't seem to adjust these for bass so anyone got any ideas how I can get a nervous bass in Sonar? https://soundcloud.com/charlyg/nancy1

I'm not sure what you're asking for here. Are you wanting to augment the existing passage to have more bass, or do you want a matching bass line with the same kind of quality as the recording?

A somewhat matching bass tone. I'm channeling Ballad of Dwight FRY for the general nervousness/paranoia feel. It's about a girl named Nancy......

I've had the unfortunately affliction of a nervous bass since I was a young lad... minus the "b".

People get nervous when I pull out my bass.

I didn't start this thread for jokes. I need a phaser/flanger or whatever..........

Maybe instead of a phasor or flanger on the bass a simple tremolo would make it quiver without the coloring of the phaser/flanger. A phaser or flanger might make the bass stick out like a sore thumb. I think this thread belongs in the Techniques forum.

Yeah I thought I might have put it in the wrong forum.. I'll give the Tremolo a try. At least I understand the adjustments.
I like the use of "quiver"!

Another idea for the bass might be vibrato/leslie simulator: think of the way the bass sounds in the song "Heartbreaker" by led Zep.

That seemed to work... I used Amplitube 4 Classic SVT, 8x10e, and the Opto-tremolo..... I may try to add a little gain/fuzz but it's close with just the trem......I tried an Octave pedal but not what I'm "hearing"... PS I'll give the vibe a try as well, but I am in the ballpark now!
