Hey Folks--
 
I'm working on a track where I think the effects that are applied to the bass on Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" would sound really good.
 
My guess is the sound has distortion and chorus-or another type of delay modulation, but wondered if anyone has some specifics on what was used in the studio on that bass track?
 
 
Thanks!!

that sounds like a straight up midrangy bass tone to me.
 
have you looked at ross valory's rig/setup?

I'll see if there is anything posted on how he dialed it in.

Thanks

Hey, thanks Dan. This is what I was looking for.

I gave the tune a listen, and there is definitely a chorus on the bass along with the boosted midrange you normally use to bring out the chorus effect. I also noticed that the piano is doubling the bass through much of the song, so some of that tone may actually be coming from the piano.

I would agree with this...

Hey BitFlipper

I was listening while driving and I missed the piano layer. I'll give it another listen with headphones.

Thanks!
