bassmachine2112 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Hiho,Dunlop super bright steels,treble up n bass down a bit and up the gain with a pick. Sansamp should get you there no problem.Set your amp flat eq or as near as and let the pedal do it,s stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

synthaside Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) Funny, to hear everyone saying dump the rounds but i play this song on a jazz with flats and get a great sound for it . It does require a little bit of setup to get the sound so i prefer to do it on the set break as i'm not the quickest at changing patches mid set So here's how I achieve the driving tone through my fairly flat trace, i use a Jazz bass usually fairly flat So before the song starts set the bridge pickup at 9 ish and neck pickup at 2 , dime the tone (cringe a bit as i like a more dubby sound normally) Then play hard with a pick and be prepared to palm mute for the breakdowns, this is the only song i use a pick for it for and its played with vigor over the bridge pickup. I use a Tube screamer patch from my zoom B3 , this acts as my mid boost and bit of dirt but you could probably get away with using an amp tweak to raise your mid's and a bit of drive if you dont have access to a multi effects unit but are willing to spend a little to get that tone i hear very good things about these clone tubescreamers [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/JOYO-JF-01-Vintage-Overdrive-Guitar/dp/B004FEGXDK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1456309572&sr=8-1&keywords=Joyo+JF-01"]http://www.amazon.co...ords=Joyo+JF-01[/url] or in the cheaper behringer flavour http://www.amazon.co.uk/Behringer-TO800-TO-800-Tube-Overdrive/dp/B000KIRT74/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1456309725&sr=8-1&keywords=BEHRINGER+VINTAGE+TUBE+OVERDRIVE+TO800 Edited February 24, 2016 by synthaside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colgraff Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I played the song with my gear as below and my Boss ODB3 set at eq: 1/2 low 6/10 high, balance: 3/10 gain: 4/10. Treble on my bass turned up to 3/4 (but is a very bright bass, so treble is normally off). This also sounds good for Walk on By by the Strangers.
