Samashton12 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Hey guys!, I need some help getting Jareds clean tone (listen to any song by Kings Of Leon) on the Line 6 lowdown, i know he use a SVT CL into an 8x10 (which I can replicate using the amp) but thats it.. Im not good with EQs so help would be appreciated! Help me! Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) Thunderbird played with a pick yes? I see you have one on the way, you should get close with that. Edited September 13, 2012 by Rayman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlapbassSteve Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 [quote name='Rayman' timestamp='1347568253' post='1802649'] Thunderbird played with a pick yes? I see you have one on the way, you should get close with that. [/quote] That is pretty much it really. You should be able to get pretty close with a flat EQ and the right amp simulation; just add or remove mids to taste depending on if you're playing with a band or to the records. Nice to see some Followill appreciation going on, massively underrated bassist! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samashton12 Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 I find him kinda underrated the guys what 25? He is overlooked by many people as a brilliant bass player! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMX Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I'm not a massive KoL fan, but his tone on 'On Call' record is pretty great! Lots and lots of reverb - and pretty percussive pick playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Got to say.. of all the sounds you could have chased after, this one is going to be the easiest. There is nothing going on there that a thumpy clanky dulled-off sound will not get close to. The Thunderbird is not noted for producing a distinctive sound...it is more a distinctive look and therein lies the appeal as opposed to the Musicman or even a P-bass which can only be replicated by same. IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTUK Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Not saying it a bad tone... it is a tone you are after and should be able to get relatively simply with decent gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
