phil.i.stein Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) sh*t.. us lot are starting to derail bassjamms thread. sorry dude, please allow us oldies our indulgences.. p.s. awesome choices JB Edited February 18, 2011 by phil.i.stein Quote
Jerry_B Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 I think it helps with the 'dirty punk tone' theme... Quote
phil.i.stein Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 and you Bartelby. guilty as charged. x Quote
bartelby Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Reading through this thread I was thinking JJ, bloody JJ all the sodding time (don't get me wrong I like The Stranglers) Then POW! NoMeansNo!!! I LOVE NoMeansNo I'm pretty sure Rob plays through Marshall guitar amps, or at least the early stuff is. Quote
Mr H Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 If the guy filming Victims Family had stretched out his right arm he would have hit me on the head* - what a great show that was. And Rob Wright's (NoMeansNo) amplification is behind Larry Boothroyd's (VF bass player), because NMN were headlining that night. Two of my favourite bands and two of my favourite bass players. *Unless this was filmed after I'd gone for a wee! Quote

Jerry_B Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Just to show you don't need a Pbass to get that punk tone... Klaus Flouride has always used a Jazz (and a quite nice blue metallic one at that)... Quote

He did the middle bit of Antipope though. Quote

Musky Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 (edited) [quote name='bassjamm' post='1131746' date='Feb 18 2011, 12:44 AM'][snip...] I don't really want to suggest songs for tone ideas as I'd like to try and craft something unique, but I'd appreciate some help I guess Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Jamie[/quote] If you really want to create a unique bass sound you're going to have think pretty uniquely, and that's going to mean breaking some 'rules'. I don't really think there necessarily is such a thing as a '"punk tone", as as evinced by some of the youtube clips in this thread; some very different tones going on there. What really matters is that you find something that works with your band - I not entirely sure that JJ's tone would have worked so well with two distorted guitars for instance. But ideas for thinking outside the box? Very light/very heavy gauge strings, extreme EQ settings, downtuning (and playing further up the neck), 'unsuitable' gear (like JJ's broken guitar cabs), lowering the action to clatter the frets. All have been done before of course, but it's all about how you make it yours. Anything is worth a shot, and that's before you start playing about with your technique. I always thought Steve Jameson's sound was pretty amazing. Edited February 19, 2011 by Musky Quote

On the subject of the Nomeansno stuff that's been posted on here, there's a little part of me that thinks "why doesn't he just get a guitar", anybody else? or is it just me. Quote
thumbo Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 I couldn't recommend the Tronographic Rusty Box enough, for dirty punk tone it blows the Sansamp BDDI out of the water IMO. Quote

I enjoy the drummer the most though. Did you enjoy the posted songs? Quote
PaulWarning Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Yeah, I'll be checking them out on spotify Quote
