Chris2112 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 [quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1317044242' post='1385844'] Tony was running two enormous Trace stacks when he was in reheasal with BC in the late 90's at Stainbridge Farm Studios, a brite box on top of a big 410 on top of a 118 all twice over. Two heads running them (both eq'ed the same. It was a monumental rig, and absolutely gut wrenchingly loud. The most obvious part of his tone that I hear in those clips, other than a bright attack (pick?) is the two anf a half tonnes of deep chorus he's using. Totally in keeping with the era mind![/quote] Yes, Tony often used a pick. He's in my mind every time I play bass with a pick. His use of chorus is sublime too. In later years (around Buffalo Skinners time) he was using a Warwick Thumb which sounded fantastic. He just always such an amazing tone. I have booked two tickets for Big Country at the O2 Academy in Newcastle for next febraury. I am very excited to be seeing them, to be seeing Tony live!

Bottle Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Well, I've tried to find something suitable from each end of my musical leanings - here are the best examples: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RTtQSIvbTc Incubus - Have You Ever (Live), back during Alex Katunich's days http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uc_rAX6z9Yc Paul Weller - You Do Something To Me, Damon Minchella at his best (although it was Yolanda Charles playing on this track on the studio album) HTH, Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stringintheshade Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I've been obsessed with the bass tone on this for over thirty years now. Simon Underwood, via Dennis Bovell iirc. Pure dub funk genius. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ppij-Oxq6nM[/media] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51m0n Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) Cant find the original version, just this remix (where someone has decided that the right thing to do is whack a humungous delay on the drums and make it sound generally less good) but the bass tone and at least some of the genius bass playing is still there, massiveoly love this track!

Saw them live but only by the time they'd gone overboard with the African drums and was never the same for me after that. Any I digress, wonderful track and singular bass tone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
