Go back to the 70s/80s before "modern tones" and get yourself a P-bass endorsement

Yeah, whenever I see his name I feel like having a beer
[quote name='Starvolt' post='362738' date='Dec 24 2008, 12:15 PM']I suppose it's cos it's one of the really well known Muse tracks. I'm still trying to figure out how to get the right sound for Muscle Museum.
Also, I do want the distortion that he uses on Futurism. Sounds epic![/quote]
Sounds to me like seperate clean and distorted tracks, I can get a tone very similar with a Boss ODB3

Highly amusing.

The one in Manchester isn't any better, at least when I was there last.
[quote name='drthirkenstein' post='359646' date='Dec 20 2008, 03:43 PM']the shorter the signal path between your bass and your speakers the better it will sound.[/quote]
Cool, I might try gigging using a patch cable between bass and amp then

NO, "1600 hundred" = £160000

Don't know, I was just providing the links
What I've bought since I started playing in 2003:
[b]1[/b] Yamaha RBX170. Great little bass til it broke and I used it PX for the Thunderbird.
[b]2[/b] Cort GB25. Beasty tone, just had no use for the spare string. Sold about a year ago.
[b]3[/b] Epiphone Thunderbird. Looked cool but was a bastard to set up properly. Sold to fund Pedulla.
[b]4[/b] Pedulla Rapture. Bought in 2005/06. Still got it
[b]5[/b] Hondo II P-bass. Restored to its former mediocre glory and sold on after a few months.
[b]6[/b] Squier Vintage Modified Jazz. Very very nice for the money - added Bartolini bridge pickup and series parallel wiring. Sold on BC earlier this year.
[b]7[/b] Precision bass. Built myself earlier this year. Wizard Thumper pickup, 0.1uF tone circuit (orange drop). Still got it.
[b]8[/b] Yamaha RBX250 fretless. Fretless is definitely not my thing! Sold.
