gub Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Hi folks I trying to get a decent enough sound to play dani California by rhcp live, and suggestions on settings would Be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Most of (if not all of) that album is a Jazz bass, so I'd boost the top end and scoop some of the mids out of your EQ. Unless you've fot a jazz bass, in which case just give the strings a real spanking as tou play the line; Flea tends not to take any prisoners with his right hand technique.

Kev Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 He also likes his strings very fresh, which will also help. He doesn't use too much in the way of effects, at all. All the tone is in the Jazz and those fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badboy1984 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Aren't part of flea's tone is low action and plugging the string really hard to get that fret buzz tone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bakerster135 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Definitely got some of that GK grind too, or certainly a modern SS amp-type sound. You might find this interesting too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiTz51TPdo8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-basser Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Think that most of that album was recorded on a Jazz with flatwounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gub Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 Thanks for the advice chaps, I do use a jazz as it happens, I have ordered a milkbox compressor too so see what that brings to the mix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
