Joel Wanasek Bus Glue Bass

I've owned nearly all bass plugins. Most don't really capture how you want your bass to sound and feel in a mix by themselves... You usually need several other plugins and have to duplicate your bass track two or three times to get everything dialed in. So, by the time you're done you have a couple compressors, a couple EQ filters & notches, amp sims, distortion plugins, and then another buss to route to and "glue" everything back together, so-to-speak...... In my opinion, this plugin gets rid of all of that..... One plugin.... Done! Three different types of distortion, and tonal options are pretty limitless. No cab sims to mess with, mic placement, or track duplicating..... Everything is handled right there in one plugin and that's it. No menus to flip thru or a plugin "trying" to sound like this Ampeg or that Darkglass... Dial in what you want and move on!

On the "Crush" slider, it could use a little more to crush a little more than the current iteration.

Some bass DI are too dynamic for the plugin, so I still have to throw another compressor or limiter before it.

Otherwise, it does what 6 plugins on 2 tracks using split processing does. Add another eq for fine tuning and it's good to go.

This bass glue plug-in is cool with the 3 distortion modes and the low end filter you can really tighten up and tune in your bass track to punch through the mix and add some flavor all with just a few simple faders and buttons . Fast results low CPU for a fantastic price

Distortion A is great for slam metal bass, or djent etc
How I use it:
I split the bass into two tracks, and use this JW bus glue only on the highs
And the other track is running the amp (with a distortion pedal as well)

If you're looking for hassle-free bass processing plugin, this is for you. Once you know the sound you're after, it will get you there rather quickly.
