Faithless Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 So, there's about 4 months, or something, since I have Line6 XT Live in my arsenal, buuuut, I'm a bit lack of imagination, where could I use such effects, as Reverb, Chorus, [[i]apart[/i] from solo sections], give a decent drive, etc etc... and, more importantly, how'd they [i]sound[/i].. I'm mainly about rocky, or, well, at least funky stuff... I was trying to listen to some Rush stuff, but it didn't sweep me along.. So, I'd say, let's share about a bit 'effected' bass players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escholl Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 the guy from Kings Of Leon uses some stuff like tremolo, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJTee Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Duff McKagen's use of chorus is pretty good with GnR. Slightly cheesy rock song, but I love the sound of his chorus-y bass line in You Could Be Mine: [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoJOl1C_1cQ"]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoJOl1C_1cQ[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibob Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Check out some Justin Meldal-Johnsen with Beck, Ima Robot & Macy Gray Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foal30 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Pick with Phaser try Anthony Jackson O'Jays "for the love of money" and "give the people what they want". also some stuff of him with Al di Meola I like the envelope filter/wah on Rose Royce "Car Wash". It's probably best to check out a lot of Bootsy Collins too. especially if a rocky funk vibe is your go. Warner Brothers have a best of that is worth getting for a cross-section of his post JB stuff.

From what I gather, that's pretty much all he's ever used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to play that on the D and G strings and it sounded fine... Mind you, it was a long time ago so I may be talking nonsense... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithless Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 Well, Metallica is well known to me, gotta say... What about Kyuss - their [former?] bassist, Scott Reeder, whom Metallica auditioned in 2003, has his solo album, called TunnelVision Brilliance.. As far, as I remember, almost whole album is has a 'distorted' bass.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 My whammy XP-100 does a good Tool chorus sound on the detune setting. I would agree with Les Claypool and Dirk Lance - both very much influenced my use of effects. Obviously the bassist from Muse, and from RATM also.

lemmywinks Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Billy Gould from Faith No More. Was my favourite bass player for ages. Check out Live At The Brixton Academy. Some cool distortion on War Pigs and massive phaser/flanger style sweeps on Epic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
