Trying to record with my Bongo 5 bass… any settings recommendations

Trying to record with my Bongo 5 bass… any settings recommendations

I can NOT for the life of me get a decent sound from this Bongo bass, but I bought it specifically for recording, figuring it would be the most versatile.

there are all kinds of transient harmonic sounds when you are using fingers and I can not seem to find the sweet spot where it will fit in the mix and not have all that extra harmonics in it.

Any pointers or if anyone can point me to some information on getting a good sound for DIRECT recording would be helpful. I’m running through my PRS DI box to Saffire 24 to Cubase 9.5

Maybe there’s even a plugin that I can insert that would help?

Thank You!!!
Dave
