kiat Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Didn't know which forum to post this "need tone/sound" question to here, so if you know just say and I'll move it or post similar ones there in future - cheers! It's one of the songs I've been given to learn for a covers band I'm auditioning for and I've been trying took figure out the bass tone without success. I can hear a lot of compression and stones kind of vibrating growl. Anyone got close? Would really appreciate hearing how you did it! I've only got live recordings of YouTube like this to go on. https://youtu.be/4WkCj5gsHxc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 It's a Musicman SR5 with what sounds like an octave pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjones Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 (edited) It's a Stingray he has in that clip, which has a very punchy, articulate, upfront, focused sound. When I want that sound (I no longer have a Stingray), I switch to the back pickup of my Jazz and turn the tone to half way and the bass up high. The original album version sounds like just a P bass or a Jazz. Edited May 23, 2016 by gjones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiat Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 Thanks guys, appreciate it. With the octaver now and compression, I'm close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
