0175westwood29 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 hi! im not looking to get exactly robs sound but i love how his bass sounds go from just absolute distortion to beautifully crisp and clean and thick sounding bass! im just wandering if anyone has any idea on what effects hes using to get these sounds in the vid? [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEAQGMqFXZw&feature=fvst"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEAQGMqFXZw&feature=fvst[/url] im guessing chorus in the slow part? but is it flanger or phaser in the main riff? ive tried using my fm4 and got some bits near but anyone know what he uses? or shed some light so i have somewhere to start as the fm4/metal muff combo isnt quite right. andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Bear in mind,altho' he did his suicidal stuff etc. before metallica, Cliffs sound may be close , and he used alot of 'guitar pedals'. Maybe you're better getting an effects unit or something. Also , Robert T uses alot of different basses these days too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mog Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 The intro sounds kinda synthy to me. The first "solo" could be nailed with an ibby phat head. Second solo sounds filtered. How many years later and he still cant pull this off. Sloppy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gust0o Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I had a quick squint on the internets, and found the following: [url="http://thepocket.multiply.com/journal/item/97/An_Inside_Look_at_Robert_Trujillos_METALLICA_Gear"]http://thepocket.multiply.com/journal/item..._METALLICA_Gear[/url] No mega detail, but a screenshot which shows the pedal set-up - neatly labelled, so you now know what he uses live!

Control @ 3-4. Range @ 7-9. Boss: Level @ unity. Fat @ max. Muscle @ min. Drive @ about 75%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absolutpepper Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Hey If anyone is looking for the For Whom... bass sound (and other Cliff lead sounds) then i've found you'll get really close sound with the Crowther Audio Prunes and Custard (new version with the bass switch) which gives a nice fuzz tone with a dial for bringing in modulation (a bit like a flanger crossed with an autowah), a great pedal and highly worth looking into.

Sloppy [/quote] Metallica are fairly sloppy, or 'loose' live in general anyway. Any band with Lars Ulrich on drums wouldn't really have a choice. I've seen them make a few big cock ups when I've seen them. Still awesome though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
