Tips For Recording Bass?

Post by stevecaratzas »

I have a very humble set-up: pretty much plugging my guitar into various pedals that supposedly sound like amps (tweeds, etc.) into a Pocket Pod and then into Garageband.

Which is working fine for guitars and samples, but I've not gotten the best bass sounds. Could anyone recommend a pedal or settings that might make the bass sound a little more like, well, a bass? All of my fuzzes and such just make it sound like a loud guitar. I'm looking for more rounded bottom.

Thanks in advance.
