JapanAxe Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Some kind of synth pedal, set with a short downward sweep across the mid-range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynepunkdude Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 I have a Zoom B3, any idea which synth would be best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowieBass Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 When I saw this performed on Later With Jools I thought 'why have they become an electro-pop version of Madness?' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbass4k Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 A quacky filter, distortion, and a shallow tremolo should get you close by the sound of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderbird Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Digitech bass synth wah and a bassballs nano should get close to this I think but I am sure the effects specialists will be along with some better advice soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 When I saw them on Jools... Haha, don't know the song sorry but I would recommend playing about with the pedal as you'll learn a lot. I learned all about effects and how to use them by playing with my first Zoom multi effects years ago. So maybe try all the different synth models and play with their controls. Not the quickest solution I suppose but worth it in the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynepunkdude Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Cheers people who actually helped, I shall lock myself in the bass room tonight and give it a crack. Anyone see them on Jools? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was surprised to see him using a Jaguar on Jools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.young Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I think the best of the synth patches is Z-Syn, which I believe is an emulation of a Korg G5 . I'd give the sawtooth wave form on that one a go and play with the frequency section. You can add octave down with the pitch shifter and maybe a bit of distortion too.

bobbass4k Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 There's definitely a wobble to it, if the Zoom has an LFO filter that'll probably get you closest, otherwise distortion > envelope filter > touch of tremolo will emulate it well enough.

xgsjx Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) I'd say you're looking for more of an actual bass synth than dirt/filter/modulation combinations to get that sound, but playing with the fx on your unit should be good fun & you'll learn what they do to one another. Shep's blog is a good place to get references to what things do too. I like the bass sound. Not a bad song either. edited to change that to than.

fretmeister Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) Digitech Bass Synth Wah, maybe with a hard trem in front of it to get the pulsing thing going. Edited June 12, 2014 by fretmeister Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Sorry - forgot to join in with the spirit of the thread f*** me rigid that a sh*t tune. (It's not actually, it's quite fun. But I had to!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordep Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 main bass riff sounds like a fuzz with the tone knob set to minimum->e filter affecting mid frequency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisnameistaken Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 It's a fuzz through a band-pass filter, and the LFO movement in the filter is a pulse wave, which you won't be able to sync to the track unless you've got a very clever tap-tempo filter, and pretty much nobody buys them so nobody makes them, which is annoying. I've got one, but I'd like some choice in the market FFS. But yeah, that's exactly what the sound is. Good luck reproducing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
