How Can I Get Good Dub Bass Sound! Options

[booyakabass]

I am about to embark on a Dub project and wondered if i can pick up some tips
such as recording ie Mics & placement or DI , Good EQ and / or plugins from Logic Express.

I'll be using a 5 string Spector Bass and a Fender Jazz bass probably and maybe an elec upright plus an
Ampeg head and a Ampeg cab with a 15", 10" & tweeter speaker.

I want to get that full bodied fat warm tone but without killing my speakers.

I don't know much about producing dub records, but from listening to them I'd say the main things you need are a really good reverb and a really good delay. For delay, the 608 from PSP Audioware would do you nicely. They also do a reverb plug-in and the Vintage Warmer might help give your tracks some analogue grit.

However, that "full bodied fat warm tone" generally came from recording to analogue tape and bouncing down repeatedly - for example, Lee Scratch Perry's Black Ark studio in the early 70s only had a four-track tape machine. Dub is as much about the production process as it as about the recording process - maybe even more so. Listen to the Arkology boxset - that will tell you everything you need to know.
