alexa3020 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Looking to do some recording soon. This is the bass sound I’m after obviusly it’s a p bass in the image on the vid. Do you think it’s a p bass on the recording? oh and slap bass and Radiohead - who knew! cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 From the isolated track, especially on the slap bass I’d say yes, in all likelihood a P-bass. Not sure if the distortion/gain is pedal or valves being pushed but s nice sound in the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I'd diasgree I'm afraid, I'd say it's the Musicman Sterling he was using around the time of 'The Bends' - the recorded tone sounds like it to my ears and you can just see him playing it in the live vid if you're fast on the pause button.

alexa3020 Posted October 23, 2018 Author Share Posted October 23, 2018 Yeah, I did notice the mm in the video. I thought it might have a bit more growl to it if it was a mm. great sound though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Jamin Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) I'm pretty certain that Iron Lung is a live recording with overdubbed vocals - so probably the MusicMan in the live music video Sounds very much like a MM should sound IMO - at least something with a bridge pick-up, being plucked near the bridge! The low-end and saturation will be from whatever pre-amp / compressor is used. It's pretty squished.

Chiliwailer Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I agree with above, sounds like a MM to me, probably the Sterling in the Series position - loved that position when I had a Sterling years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
