Scott Callan on SoundBetter

There's nothing quite like the sound of a Fender Precision bass with flatwounds that's been tracked well, and I'd be honored to help your project along by writing and tracking an old school, melodic bass part.

I make sounds and write songs as Montana Book Club, but for years I've also played bass, keys, and guitar in all kinds of bands and recording projects. What I've found I love the most, though, is crafting interesting, thumpy, melodic bass lines, and once I hit on a P-bass with flatwounds on it, I never really looked back.

Based on your feedback and needs, I'll provide a bass part divided up into three tracks - direct with no eq / compression, direct with eq / compression, and amped. My signal chain includes a Fender American Precision bass with Thomastik flats on it, along with a Tube Tech mp1a preamp for the DI, and outboard eq's and compressors including an Electrodyne 511 EQ, a Great River Harrison 32EQ, a Pendulum OCL-500 opto compressor, and a Grove Hill Liverpool vari-mu compressor (which is particularly cool for capturing that McCartney vibe). Happy to provide one round of edits, and more than willing to work on additional edits as needed and discussed.

Need a synth part, too? Happy to help. I track primarily with a Moog Matriarch and a Dave Smith Mopho x4.

Would love to hear from you. Click the contact button above to get in touch.
