Stub Mandrel Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 In the past my Hohner B2 has been compared to a Rickenbacker sound - last night I found a 'sound' that just screamed 'Geddy Lee' at me, and the Drummer agreed - this morning I found it again in the middle of 'Countdown'. It can do a reasonable Chris Squire too. When noodling on bass or guitar, with or without effects, I often find a sound that does this; sometim,e sit isn't 100% right but it just captures the essence or a classic sound. Other soudbs are more elusive - I've never been able to get a convincing David Gilmore sound and last night I was, again, trying and failing to use a combination of chorus, delay and staccato playing to get the 'pulsed' sound at the start of Boulevard of Broken Dreams. Apparently its done with a rotary speaker a tremelo (volume modulator) but I only have those as effects on a guitar amp. I guess most of us have a similar range of familiar sounds we can capture and those we can't get no matter how hard we try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
