NORD STAGE 3 Bass Sounds

[BonzoBall88]

Hi, would REALLY like to get some help with NS3 Bass sounds. I’m not good at “hearing” what the best sounds are, so need some guidance. In particular looking for “best” Bass sound for Le Freak and Good Times. I’m playing in a low volume 4 piece pub band (singer, guitar, drums, keys) and I’ve got the bass coming out of channel 4 and going directly into the P.A., with a little coming back at me in the vocal monitor. The keys themselves are going only to my Peavey amp. So all VERY low-fi ! So, any ideas which NS3 bass sounds would work best for this funky bass sound ? Any good 3rd party samples to get / buy ? Many thanks, Andy

On a NS4, I don't know if my comment is relevant to you:

For good times, I usually go to the sample Bass>Slap Bass J62
Full Unison
MOD 1 : none
MOD2 : Phaser (variation) 1.4 / 6.7
AMP : Twin with Drive 1.8 and and boost at 260 Hz
And some booth reverb

Great suggestion from maddoc.
To translated to NS3, I used:
Same sample
MOD2: Phaser 2, Rate 1.4, Amount 6.7
AMP: as above, with Mid freq 263mid boost +3.0 dB
REVERB: Room 2.2 (there's no booth reverb in NS3)

You can insert a split to have bass in the L hand, EP or other on the R, with FX to taste. Hope this helps
