The things I use to record your music – geek section

Gear - Tiago Dias bass sessions - Online session bass tracks

Here you will be able to find out more details about the gear I use on my online bass sessions and in the studio to record your music.  I use a variety of basses, amps, pedals and recording gear to create the perfect professional sounding bass track for your music.  From vintage to modern edgy sounding gear, I’ve got it all covered.  Tube preamps, mosfet tube technology, solid state amps, digital bass preamps and a vast collection of analogue vintage and modern pedals.

Do you have a specific music era in mind for the bass tone?  Perhaps an 80’s rock bass?  A 70’s funky envelope filter bass part?  Contemporary pop?  Or even something futuristic experimental?  I have the tools that allow me to achieve that for you in no time.

Gear List

Below you will find the gear that I have at my fingertips to create the perfect bass tracks for you.  Many combinations can be achieved between vintage and modern gear to achieve the bass tone you’re after.  Additionally, I also have virtual bass amplification and effects in my recording software that pretty much gives me the possibility to really fine tune the bass tone to exactly match your brief.
