That Doom 2/Octavizer synth tone is tasty!

Really enjoyed that. Another really good rig guide from @Kingbassist of this parish. @cetera is right, that faux synth bass tone is fabulous - soooooo fat and crunchy!!! Works perfectly in the context of the track.

 

Yes Ian, some “how I achieve certain tones” videos would be fascinating!

It's no surprise that the Overwater sounds that good.

Yes I saw that the other day and found it a real eye opener - indeed it spawned much of today's activity for me trying to replicate his synth tone - I started the following thread:

Hi everyone, 

I now run ‘group coaching’ classes under the name ‘The Bass Vault’ and have been putting out a few videos recently, showing examples of transcriptions I’ve done over the past couple of years. The classes are proving really fun, deep diving into well known bass players, their style, technique & vocabulary. You can grab two free bass transcription books (with accompanying backing tracks) by using the links below. No hard sell & I’d really like to stress the ‘anti-spam’ approach I’m taking with this stuff. It infuriates me, getting hundreds of emails having signed up to a mailing list, and I certainly won’t be doing that with my offering. Hope you enjoy them, Ian
