mike f Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Hello there, The bass on Cardiacs' albums Sing To God and Guns - what is it? I've often thought that its some of the best recorded bass ever and I was wondering if anybody could shine some light on what I'm hearing; in particular tracks like Eat It Up Worms Hero. Thanks, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbass4k Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 No idea about those albums in particular but I'm pretty sure he used a Ric most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-soar Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Ric with probably old strings and a high action, then Tim flavoured to taste in the studio with treatments. Tim my have even played it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-soar Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I think Jim may have played the same bass for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
