I have finally persuaded my band to do Nice 'n' Sleazy, I know how to play it, but I am struggling to get JJ's tone right.
Normally, I'm not too worried about perfecting tones when doing covers, but for this one, I feel I need to get as close to it as possible, to do it justice.

I have a [b]Darkehorse precision[/b] with a [b]maple board[/b] and[b] Thumper [/b]pup, a [b]Warwick Corvette[/b] and a Ibanez [b]SR1200[/b] to choose from in the way of basses.
For the amp, I have a [b]Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0[/b] going through [b]Genz Benz 1x12 & 2x10 cabs[/b].

As far as effects go, I have the following:
[b]Line6 Pod X3 Live[/b]
[b]Ashdown Lomenzo Bass Hyper-Drive[/b]
[b]Dodd Stereo Flanger[/b]
[b]Digitech Bass Multi Voice Chorus[/b]
[b]Boss Super Octave OC-3[/b]
[b]Boss Compression/Sustainer CS-3[/b]
[b]Marshall Guv'nor GV-2[/b]
[b]Zoom B2 Multi-Effects[/b]

All tips and advice would be very welcome!

Cheers in advance.

I must admit I think Baroque Bordello is a good song and underrated. Good bass line!

The green P bass in 1979 - so not quite sure when he stopped using it?

Great tone but still not the same cutting bright tone as on the first stranglers album. This recording just sounds like an ordinary "p".
