cocco Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Hi Chatters. I got an EHX crying bass for Christmas and I'm trying to find a good use for it, but I can't think of any players/tracks that use bass wah So can anyone name some for me?

spectoremg Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 That funny diddle-de-dee sound on 10cc's Rubber Bullets is a Rick put through a wah, so if you ever cover it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truckstop Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Should be plenty of examples in Tool's back catalogue. Timmy C uses a wah in Cochise and I think a few other Audioslave/RATM numbers. Sorry, can't remember any particular songs right now! Truckstop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Troy Sanders uses one here, not very audible though http://youtu.be/2BiOITZHC8I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero9 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Stanley Clarke has used a wah quite extensively on recordings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happynoj Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 [quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1421573026' post='2662725'] Timmy C uses a wah in Cochise and I think a few other Audioslave/RATM numbers. [/quote] 'Calm Like A Bomb' and 'Mic Check' are probably the most well known examples. I think that 'Born As Ghosts' also uses the wah although I could be wrong.

You could probably get a similar sound if you were quick with your feet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Valdemar Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Pantera - Uplift, I'll Cast A Shadow. A great big meaty wah-bass solo in each one. Any Wetton-era King Crimson will be [i]drenched[/i] in wah. And probably the most terrifying bass tone ever achieved by man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
