Randy_Marsh Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 On the song Stellar on Make Yourself, on the bass fills from about 56 seconds does he use any effects? or is that just raw tone? Alex really does have a beautiful sound (imo of course) [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKYGZxPF0yA"]Video Here[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonman Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I'm pretty sure that's just his clean sound. You're right that though it's a nice sound indeed. I think he played Warwick's through Eden amps, not sure about his fx. Quality song though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeBrownBass Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 [url="http://guitargeek.com/rigview/360/"]http://guitargeek.com/rigview/360/[/url] Tbh though, in the studio the producer could of done anything to that tone. Theres going to be more on it than you think but i'm gonna say, compression, subharmonic processor are the two main things going on there.

I think thats a staple part of his recording tone for Make Yourself & Morning View Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacecowboy Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) I get a very similar sound to Dirk's tone from my Stage II , its a very mid range bass with a huge amount of growl when you dig which Dirk does alot, just watch Live in Chicago to see that! Nothing a little compression isn't going to help amplify either! I love his tone on that album and in general! big inspiration.

Finbar Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Watch him play that fill on Youtube on the Letterman show. Sounds nothing like it. Studio magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
