stingrayPete1977 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I really love the bass sounds Jeremy gets and he gets it live too which IMO on some of these big stages is great too as most of my favourite bass players have a poop sound live getting worse the bigger the venue. I presume he has his basses set up as BEAD looking at his gear he uses a 130 as his fat string.

JTUK Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Great sound for a pick...the slap sound not so much....IMV That sound has a pretty big hole in it.... and I think a Jazz and pretty serious EQ stage could make a good fist.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 Nah its got more bite like a P bass yet more bottom end fatness like something active IMO, I dont really get on with Jazz basses that well and I always find the pickup cancellation thing an arse which I know is my bad ears really but its still there. I find myself messing around all night thats why I like a single pup bass with my favourite tone usually from a P bass but they sound terrible when I play them (more terrible than normal).

[/quote] That's why I love a Jazz with the J-Retro. The active blend somewhere between the bridge and both pickups on, and do your thing with the powerful EQ... It does not sound like a traditional Jazz anymore, but it sounds great. All it needs is the neck of a Stingray Edited October 3, 2013 by mcnach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bassman7755 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Sound a bit like the "out of phase" setting on a strat only on a bass. You can probably approximate it with a deeply cutting parametric eq (+ single coil pickup & fresh strings). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Prefer the live version, but agree, a great bass sound. Reminded me of early Mike Dirnt of Green Day and then remembered he used to use a Ripper. I`m surprised this tone (or at least very close to it) isn`t available with a double-pickup Stingray. Maybe the wood of the bass has something to do with it (mahogany aren`t they?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 Could be worth a try on a HH Ray, I never thought of that Lozz good thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miles'tone Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Didn't Justin Meldal-Johnston produce the album? No surprises the bass sounds epic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
