Cosmo Valdemar Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 (edited) Someone's made a replica of Gene Simmons' legendary lost LoBue bass from the 70s and blimey, who'd have thunk a Mudbucker in bridge position would sound so good?

Beedster Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Nice guy, and like the vid, but I guess everyone's idea of good tone varies 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expected burpy 16th-note hell from that pickup position, and instead it absolutely roars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 I expect it would sound rather different finger style, he is hitting the strings really hard (at least compared with how I play with a pick) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
