D.I. Joe Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 You'd need the exact same bass, strings, amp, effects, EQ settings, compression, mixing console, playing technique etc etc. I wouldn't bother personally, find your own tone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Woah, what a great sound. Having had the Precision/Marshall MB set-up, I`d go for the Classic Channel, Gain Boost on quite high, and the Mid Selector on the fully clockwise setting, then set bass/mid/treble to suit.

[/quote] thanks I'll give it a go, I thought there might be some sort of FX overdrive pedal in there somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Valdemar Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 It's a Stingray, if memory serves me well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I "think" it was a jazz bass on the record, but a Stringray in the video. I always "accidentially" get that exact sound when messing around due to the sound of my set up and P-bass stuff! A plectrum and digging in makes a big part of the sound, makes it easier, though you can get it finger style The sound is based on a solid amount of mids and bass and just enough treble for the growl to sing through. Sounds clean (ie not pedals or drive) but with the gain up for it to be full and raspy Play just behind the pickup on your p-bass (towards the bridge) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
