Alice in Chains - Man in the box bass tone - Mike Starr


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Hello, 
I am a beginner of bass art. 

I've got Ibanez GSR200 with two pick-ups (PJ), multieffect Zoom B1x and Bass combo Vox Pathfinder 10.

I'm wondering how to get the bass tone from Man in the Box by Alice in Chains. Which pickup should I use? 

Thank you in advance

 

Edit: yt link to isolated bass

Both pickups on. Low action and dig in hard with fingers or plectrum. You'd need a Sansamp or similar to get the growl though.

There is a 'BassDriver' Sansamp-a-like in the Zoom...

Build a couple of simple patches of your own - ToneLib Zoom free software is great.

 

Few amps in the Zoom to choose from.. build a couple of patches of Amp Only and try different settings.

Love the Zoom B1on for the Marshall amp/cab sim...

 

Loves a B1on... check you are at the latest firmware.

Thanks guys, I am going to try to get a similar sound today.

 

What do you think about changing the tuning  onone guitar?  I mean, this song tuning is semitone lower, semitone is not a big difference for guitar setup, is it?

It should be fine... just maybe a little fret-buzzy...

 

Enjoy!
