Feel Good Inc - Gorillaz

My band's doing a cover of this.

I'm thinking it's an Octaver -1 finger style double tracked with a plectrum. Heavily compressed.

I'm wrong...because I've tried it.

Any takers for this one please?

I would agree on the octaver, and the compression, though maybe a hint of fuzz would help thicken the sound a bit?

Ps. The Kubicki in your avatar is gorgeous....

Yep, i think your right. Though to my ears the signal's split and the thin track is sharp.
You might be able to get a similar effect with a whammy. (maybe)

My band's covered this track - its such a laugh. But we were imitating this bands version :
Reuben's alter-ego: Los Skeletos. It's the last track on the myspace:

Cheers. I'm currently having a scratchplate made for "the Kube" which will make it look kind of modern/vintage. It's looks better than the way I've described it honest!

Still trying. Getting there by compressing the sound as much as I can and rolling off a lot of treble and really diggin in with my fingers.
Might not be the exact sound but it's pretty funky.
