So apropos of the discussion going on about the AK’s possibly “fatter” sound, I got to thinking about the limitations of words for describing sound, I thought it would be interesting to start qualifying our terms. We all use words like “fat” and “warm” and “analog” a lot. Basses can be “heavy”, “full”, “subby”, “deep” and lots of other words. So - find your favorite basslines and post them up here.
For me, it’s this tune by Dabrye. I don’t know if it’s the frequency of the bass, the way the syncopation works with the kick or how the envelope opens and closes the filter, but I LOVE this bassline. Every time I need to try out a new pair of headphones, speakers, an amp - even filters, I play this track through the new gear. This one is my fat bass line. What’s yours???
