Guest MoJo Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Nickelback - Burn It To The Ground (Audio): http://youtu.be/q0HElo91a4s How much of this is Mike's Spector, his amp, studio production? I'd love to get that growly tone but can't get near it with a P bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Getting a Spector would be a good start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingnutkj Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Presumably it's on a five string? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepbass5 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Thats sounds good. my input is - valve amp + input gain up like this http://youtu.be/b2qb2UTUtrI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I understand that Mike has used a guitar half stack blended in with his rig. A Triple-X I think. That to me suggests that he's adding bite with it but also the Triple-X does a pretty hefty distortion so maybe this is where he is getting the crunch from. That said, you could do the same by blending in one of the Mesa 'treadplate' type pedals with a clean (scooped) bass sound. A one pedal solution would possibly be the likes of the DarkGlass B7k being fed by a Spector bass or something with active EMG pickups for clarity.

Dood Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 ahh-ha! Here's an old interview but this would seem to match with what I thought in that he uses a sort of bi-amped rig for dirty sounds and clean sounds mixed together: http://www.geocities.ws/nickellady_maria/bass_player_article.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Apart from the distortion, I love how tight his bass sounds. But I'm a little biased... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
