I’m diving into the top 5 bass amp captures and profiles for the incredible free Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) plugin in 2025. Whether you’re recording at home, mixing in the box, or just looking for killer bass tones without spending a dime, NAM has become a go-to tool for bassists and producers alike.
I’m putting some serious contenders through their paces, focusing on profiles inspired by iconic bass amp brands like Ampeg, Darkglass, and Hartke.
We all know these names define specific bass sounds, and the NAM community has done an amazing job of capturing their essence.
In this video I playthrough these different profiles & talk about the tones with a bit more detail.
Let me know what you think of these tones.
