robot_pelican_chin Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Hi! Got a song to learn for a little later next week, 'You got the Love' - Rufus & Chaka Khan - was just wondering what kind of effects might be on the bass in this song or what do to adjust to get this tone? [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERJSM5ZQSiU"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERJSM5ZQSiU[/url] - the song in question (studio version) I play a westfield jazz copy, it gives a pretty clean sound so need to get that dirty sound that Bobby Watson gets on this one.. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 The main riff sounds like it's doubled with a fuzzed up guitar. I think I'd probably just go with some distortion on the bass and lose plenty of treble on the tone controls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBunny Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Don't think there is any effects on the bass. Sounds typical Jazz Bass with the neck pick-up wound down and the bridge pick-up wound up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
