ped Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Lol. Sounds like an envelope filter into a distortion, but I can get that sort of thing with a filter driving a dirty synth on my pod, but with the synth 'envelope' right down, if you see what I mean... I don't know what he is using on his face though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faithless Posted November 18, 2007 Author Share Posted November 18, 2007 (edited) Don't put a lot attention to his face - he's all in music Truly, I didn't understand it fully, Ped, but it's clearer a bit, let's say.

SJA Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Cliff Burton and Jason Newstead used a distortion pedal with a wah pedal after it for that song- sounds like Trujilo's doing the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr pablo Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 dunno what he's using but did cliff burton not use a morley power wah and his big muff to get that sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vegas_hooker Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 I reckon (and it is a guess) but since that backline isn't actually the amps they use live, that hes running his bass is being blended through at least 2 amps behind the stage with one really distorted and the other not. Ive always found EMGs really receptive to a lot of distortion. Plus his 'clean' tone is pretty snappy as it is. That doesnt sound like any synth Ive heard, just a great distorted tone going through an expensive rig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnzy Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I know that Robbie is sponsered by Hiwatt, as uses a seperate guitar for the high end distortion. I've tried this before, using a friends marshall rig and the line out from my amp, and it really pumps! it creates a tone thats is really snarly, and flexable because of the 2 preamps! Robbie's tone in this solo sounds like there is a bassballs filter running in fx loop. I think he uses 3 channels on stage, which wouldnt surprize me! when you've got 5 mins, try out the bi-amping. i found the average guitar amp sounds much better mixed in than any bass distortion fx box i've heard!

cheddatom Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I've tried that kind of bi-amping before, and, it was good, but not as good as running my FX straight into the bi-amp rig. Weird? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPBass Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Sounds like a BassBalls driven over the edge by a damn good overdrive / Distortion pedal. I get a similar sound with my BassBalls & MXR Bass Blowtorch combined. LUSH!!!!!! Wish I could walk like that when im playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a really good player, I can't fault that, but he looks so....unprofessional next to the rest of the line up at times when he's attempting to limbo his own bass.

Zoe_BillySheehan Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I thought he used a MXR M-80 Could be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theosd Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 He seems a little desperate to show off. The solo is actually rather sloppy, especially considering he even has a beat to play to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I haven't watched the solo, but i've seen plenty of live footage. You think he'd get a bad back from walking around like that! I don't think he looks unprofessional, I think that would be very hard to do in Metallica! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The solo is actually rather sloppy, especially considering he even has a beat to play to.[/quote] Well, basically solo's good, I think it's one of the best, as many For Whom the Bell Tolls live versions I've heard. Simply, he muffs on the beat when goes to the "upper" section - you'd hear it perfectly if you'd just take down tempo. It was because of "fast drive", you know. And it took a bit to "take" whole solo from record, and now I'm not bad with it, but not that good - first "climbing-up" is hell The only problem left is to find the damn sound.
