zawinul Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 [quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1486256548' post='3230442'] They are both pretty bright but you'd probably want the steel ones. I've no idea what the difference is between the standard steels and the Marcus version though! They are very low tension however, I put a set on the same as my usual gauge and found I needed to change the setup quite a bit.

Riffmunster Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Steel roundwound strings and a pre amp definitely help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Another vote for Pro Steels. Try lowering your action too for extra clang! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassmachine2112 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Hiho.Dunlop super bright steels,BDI21 RECORD straight from preamp or into amp and use DI from amp or Mic Cab. I find getting pups up nice high helps but not to high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudewheresmybass Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 For this kind of tone I use a passive bass w roto swing bass, a very heavy right hand, a combination of an ehx bass soul food, an orange burst by caline, a mid boosted eq, and a loud rig with lots of 10" speakers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismuzz Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 (edited) Passive bass, preferably with single coils, steel roundwounds, low action, and a decent drive pedal. Sansamp will do the job easily enough! Edited February 12, 2018 by chrismuzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4000 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I find the Dunlops less 'clangy' than Rotos, which are my choice. TBH, I can get a clangy sound out of pretty much anything, playing with fingers or pick (and I play pretty gently), and I don't even use tweeters. I struggle to get the opposite! I do have very low action and a straight neck though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismuzz Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I've had Elixirs on my main basses since 2017 and theyre still bright and clangy. I'm gonna find a few older posts and mention it in there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
