Do you have a signature sound?

[dmccombe7]

Now that i'm playing a bit less hard with my right hand plucking its changed "my tone" from a hard edgy Ric type rock sound to a more mid focused mellower punch with more depth. Think what i'm saying is that simple little changes in style do affect how i sound out front. 

Please note i'm on the JD Honey tonight as tomorrows gig in Dundee was cancelled as their boiler / heating system has failed and can't get parts till Monday.

Probably just as well as the journey might have been, let’s say interesting.

Is it bad up your way ?

I'm not too bad as have 4x4 Subaru but its never an easy drive in snowy conditions no matter what you drive.

I see on news Amber warning out now and not drive unless you need to.

I played at our local jam on Boxing Night. As the 'only bass player in the village' I get the dubious honor of playing for 4 hours without a 'break'.

 

Anyway - the pub now has a DJ with a 16 Track PA, subs and tops. So I left my amp and cab at home and dug out my StudioSpares DI (last used before Y2K).

 

5 minutes fiddling with the PA (bass, parametric mid, and treble) and bingo. I sounded just like me. I still don't know how to describe what that sound is though. 

 

 

 

 

That's the sound of victory.

Currently loving the FrankenJazz -> Darkglass Anagram -> Darkglass Microtubes -> Barefaced BB2

 

Nice bright, slightly gritty sounds with thump

I try to get a balanced, full tone riding on the edge of overdrive so I can did in for a bit of grit.

 

Ideally new Roto 66s but for longevity Fender nickelscthat aren't as bright.
