WHUFC BASS Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 You think so? I love that bass sound. Reminds me of Geezer Butler from Black Sabbath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bay Splayer Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 needs more bottom end, imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't help thinking that it reminds me of myself at age 14 with my Satellite Les Paul and my first distortion pedal No accounting for taste though is there?

The Funk Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I love Jack Bruce's bass tone. I used to max out my old practice amps and wreck the speakers to recreate it at home. I've got a different sound now but I still love that 60s Marshall stack tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bremen Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 No disrespect but I just don't 'get' Cream. That track sounds clumsy and pedestrian to me. I've heard (and participated in) any number of 'blues jams' that sound just as bad. Or good. And if it's tone I want then a well-spanked Precision pisses all over that. Maybe it's of its time and I should give them credit for being original at the time. And White Room is damn fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with some of Cream's recordings is that they were rushed in the studio or let down live because they couldn't hear each other - sh*t PA, no monitors etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prosebass Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Jacks early tone is very "marmite" you either love or hate it. My personal favorite from Cream is NSU but I would never go anywhere that sound myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_b Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 That's how it was! A Marshall stack on 11 with the speakers straining and about to give up the ghost. Maybe one or two had blown already. No bottom and no definition unless you used a pick or turned the presence right up but that was a live rock band in 1967, and it was great!

Delberthot Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 One of my favourites [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=LHZYY2BTXd0"]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=LHZYY2BTXd0[/url] Excuse the twat on guitar that thinks he's good. Now listen to the original and see if you can follow it! JB has one of my favourite sounds. Can't beat the jack bruce fart as its known.

Jase Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I've always loved Jacks tone too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 It is a good sound for that style of music if there's only one guitarist. Add a second guitarist to a band & it would probably get lost & sound pants. I agree that more bottom would be better, but there's little in the way of bottom end from 60's blues rock (that I've found). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 From Jack's gear page on his site: "During the 1960s, Jack plugged his EB-3 into a stack of Marshall amps (Marshall 4x12s with Marshall 100 heads). His desire for greater volume induced him to crank up the volume control, unwittingly producing the heavy, distorted tone that became so popular in the ensuing years. Later, Jack had instrument technician Dan Armstrong install a diode into the EB-3's wiring to produce the same effect without overdriving his amplifiers."
