Lozz196 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 JJ now uses his own signature amp from Ashdown, through it looked like, when I saw them last year, two stacks of 410 on top of 115. Agree, very good sound. Kindof disproves the Woolly Ashdown Theory! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mentalextra Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 [quote name='thebrig' timestamp='1327511738' post='1512644'] 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. [/quote] I must admit I think Baroque Bordello is a good song and underrated. Good bass line! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ns-fw7a16Gw[/media] [/quote] Great tone but still not the same cutting bright tone as on the first stranglers album. This recording just sounds like an ordinary "p". Edited February 8, 2012 by mentalextra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep Thought Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 [u][quote name='Spike Vincent' timestamp='1328703270' post='1531325'] I'm fairly sure that was a Yamaha. [/quote][/u] Nope-Baroque Bordello is on The Raven. at that time he was using the black Precision. The Yamaha appeared during the Feline period.
