DaleASmith Posted February 26 Posted February 26 Anyone know of a decent rig run down video or article for Dominic? Love his playing and his distorted/fuzz sound and noticed he uses an EHX Knockout, so was wondering what he gets from that?Ā any input appreciated.Ā āļø Quote
Iheartreverb Posted February 26 Posted February 26 Hiya. Dom is one of those players who regardless of what he plays, he always sounds like himself.Ā Most of his basses are fitted with passive EMGs (Precision, Jazz and Rickenbacker) but even when heās gone left of centre (Travis Bean) itās a similar story.Ā Ā If you want him play, he uses the volume and tone controls a lot, Iād think tapering off top end for mellower stuff. Ā Chord work played with fingers and thumbs is a must.Ā Ā Iād think youād just want a Fender bass and a Sansamp (one of the things that stayed on his board the longest) to get that Ampeg/ Orange amp sound (mid scoop) and maybe a Boss ODB3- thereās better options but he used one for a long time. Ā These days Iām sure heās using a Darkglass BK3 Ultra if that helps.Ā Ā Ā 1 Quote
DaleASmith Posted February 26 Author Posted February 26 Thanks for that mate. Iāve only recently discovered Mogwai and I love the music. Iāve always been a fan of dynamic / atmospheric music and I love a massive fuzz sound so they are right up my street!Ā i have a P bass with an EMG geezer so Iām most of the way there already.Ā āļø Quote
JoeS Posted February 27 Posted February 27 Love Mogwai and love Dominicās tone - agree with @IheartreverbĀ that he always sounds like himself no matter what bass (Precision, Jazz, Music Man StingRay/Sabre, Rickenbacker) or amp heās using. Ā This is from when they were touring The Hawk is Howling, so pretty old now but I think the basic formula remains unchanged even if heās now using different individual pedals: Ā And this is a screenshot from Instagram last year, but I couldnāt say whether itās reflective of what heās currently using live (nor do I know what most/any of those pedals actually are!): Ā 1 Quote

Ā The only thing I donāt know is the black one, I assumed it was Darkglass from the view I had last time I saw them but definitely isnāt.Ā The rest is an Empress Compressor, EHX SuperEgo and Old Blood Noise Precession ReverbĀ 1 Quote
