[quote name='AttitudeCastle' post='1002888' date='Oct 27 2010, 07:21 PM']Just Crank the Treble No need for effects! haha Anyone know what teh intro might have been done with? More than Synthy? =/ maybe Is a better example? After his soloy type bit at the start, about a minute in[/quote] haha yeh bit better example of the intro! i love the little solo tone aswell tho! so clean! i love it! i think there a filter of some kind? from the link gustoO put up it would appear to be xxl, q tron and an octave pedal? but im guessing hes probs got other stuff going to? but the proper solo at the end has something else any ideas?

[quote name='Gust0o' post='1002687' date='Oct 27 2010, 04:47 PM']I had a quick squint on the internets, and found the following: [url="http://thepocket.multiply.com/journal/item/97/An_Inside_Look_at_Robert_Trujillos_METALLICA_Gear"]http://thepocket.multiply.com/journal/item..._METALLICA_Gear[/url] No mega detail, but a screenshot which shows the pedal set-up - neatly labelled, so you now know what he uses live![/quote] ok thats really helpfull! thanks! i can guess looking at the switcher the effect hes on is the top left at the beginning? again really helpfull!

[quote name='Mog' post='1002532' date='Oct 27 2010, 02:44 PM']The intro sounds kinda synthy to me. The first "solo" could be nailed with an ibby phat head. Second solo sounds filtered. How many years later and he still cant pull this off. Sloppy [/quote] yeh i think its a few effects thrown together. he misses the first bend! not sloppy imho! but please this is about his pedal setup/sound not his playing as if this is like talkbass i know where that leads! andy

thanks guys really helpfull! how would a sansamp work? or can they only do dirt? i only want the slightest hint of dirt probs more of a gain boost is what im looking for if that makes sense? andy

hi! im not looking to get exactly robs sound but i love how his bass sounds go from just absolute distortion to beautifully crisp and clean and thick sounding bass! im just wandering if anyone has any idea on what effects hes using to get these sounds in the vid? [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEAQGMqFXZw&feature=fvst"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEAQGMqFXZw&feature=fvst[/url] im guessing chorus in the slow part? but is it flanger or phaser in the main riff? ive tried using my fm4 and got some bits near but anyone know what he uses? or shed some light so i have somewhere to start as the fm4/metal muff combo isnt quite right. andy

ok just got myself a guitar link for 15 quid! hopefully this is all i should need interface wise? until i get on to vocals etc? or does anyone know if i could use it for those? and also i tried plugging my bass straight into my laptop but the signal was distorted and broke up, im guessing due to a crap sound card, im guessing this interface seeing as it usb i wont get any of that? andy

[quote name='munkonthehill' post='998529' date='Oct 23 2010, 11:04 PM']if its rock, then you cant beat ampeg. Industry standard and bargain prices 2nd hand. I would recommend a 4x10, they have the clarity and bottom end you will ever need. Plus, more specifically, my ampeg is quite easy to move around. Ampeg all the way with me. Lovely gear, amazing rock tones, decent 2nd hand price and resale value plus looks nice. Ticks all the boxes [/quote] +1! my first proper rig was ampeg! svt pro 6 on top of a 610hlf sounded awesome! still have the cab as you can see! at some point i do wanna grab myself a pro 4 as they are beasts! ive seen them go dirt cheap 2nd hand to! andy

[quote name='dudewheresmybass' post='998516' date='Oct 23 2010, 10:30 PM']it works really well with bass on some modes but not so well on others. The harmony setting is ok, but due to the low frequencies, it seems to struggle tracking wise. The pitchshifter set for a chorussy type thing sounds great, although perhaps a little digital - might be what you're looking for! It also has a wet/dry blend on the pitch shift mode, so that opens some possibilities too Where it shines for me is with the s bend mode. 3 octaves down and 4 up available. variable rise and fall time from almost instant jump to a slow sweep. The pedal can be totally self contained - ie you won't need an external exp pedal for the sweep, as the switch is momenary in this mode, and will hold the note you're set to reach until you release it and the pitch will return to normal according to the fall time. It sits really well in a dense band mix, and is really fun. in short, get yourself to your local boss dealer and give it a good try! If you're near London try Stompbox / Effectspowersupplies - really great guys with excellent pricing and a great range of pedals in stock! \ad (!)[/quote] thanks man i think ill do that! andy

[quote name='dudewheresmybass' post='993331' date='Oct 19 2010, 11:35 AM']new toys - and.... some beautiful sounds here![/quote] hows this on bass really considering getting one!? andy

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='997996' date='Oct 23 2010, 01:23 PM']There are two mode 4 cabs, I know the 240w is loaded with Vintage 30s and is totally happy playing distroted guitary bass. Just make sure all your lows are provided by the appropriate rig. Fairly sure the newer 400w mode 4 cab is also happy, the distortion to get with the Mode4 will compress everyhting enough to keep it safe. However, the Mode 4s do get a bit breaky sometimes, overheating problems, there were a few at local practice space, but they all died, so watch out for that.[/quote] yeh our guitarist had his output transformer blow up! but other than that i love the sound he gets, if it were an ideal world i'd go buy myself a boogie dual rect! but can't really afford 1700 on a head! andy

in a few months my bands gonna be doing an unplugged set at a local bar, basically the only major dif is the guitarist going to an acoustic, but in some parts i need a clean boost as in some songs in taking on the solos! so need to have a bit of a boost in volume, also maybe add a little grit so its not just my main bass sound but louder. had a look on the net but there's lots of boost pedals, anyone suggest anything for me to try? andy

[quote name='Colledge' post='997674' date='Oct 23 2010, 12:43 AM']using a bass cab - no problem at all, fire away. with a guitar cab as you say, just be careful with the bass knob, the speakers won't be made to handle deep bass, but then again, using a bi-amp setup means you don't need the bass to come from the guitar rig.[/quote] yeh thats what i figured, the mode 4 from what ive heard is a really bassy head a cab combo anyway. would a crossover help im wandering? been thinking of getting one for my bi amp rig im making anyway? just send the mids and hi's to the guitar amp? although i would still want to send all a true signal to my bass amp? although actually i can do that with my lehle switcher and have the b going of to the crossover! should that work and protect the guitar amp and cab? surely if it can do really downtuned guitars it can take a standard tuning bass if its only getting mids and highs? andy
