Blown away by the bass tone

I think he's maybe got this - Kemper Profiler Stage. Which is probably as good as multifx gets currently! (£1,433 from Thomann)

 

 

I'm going to wait 10 years until they're selling on Reverb for £143 because software updates are no longer supported.

He's probably been mentioned before in this thread but:

That’s a bit strange, pretty sure your original post suggested it was the Boss core GT1000 with the expression hidden by angles?

I know you were thinking about the Boss, has this changed your mind to the Kemper?

[Al Krow]

Nope

Yeah. There was definitely a GT1000 in that post yesterday.

I really don't care about your favourite colour, but point me at a track where Mick Karn sounds better than he does on any track off Quiet Life

Japan Live

[StickyDBRmf]

Chris Squire. (although solo'ed tracks sound so tinny)

John Wetton with King Crimson (especially live, what command of tone and amp)

Don't Stop Believin' - Journey (and I REALLY hate that band) 

[paul_5]

Jason Newsted on Metallica's "...And Justice For All" - awesome!

[Stub Mandrel]

I love the bass sound on this. Adrian Shaw.

Hawkwind sceptics, please set aside your preconceptions and give this bass tone and walking line masterclass a listen.

 

[PaulThePlug]

Nice... and the subtleties of Paul Rudolph... Astounding Sounds...

Nailed it. Prog stalwarts are tone kings but the Journey is mixed insanely loud like 'Time and a Word' but it is a good tone.

Haha, it was clearly a very slow day at work for you yesterday. But you've sadly just missed out on a gold star for your detective work.

Folk are allowed to edit their posts, as you did, right? And I think you'll find I corrected my guess (although still not as good as yours), even before you had posted. 

You just needed to check the time stamps 😉

Right, back to the more interesting stuff of checking out Mr Mandrel's clip...😁

I was just looking for another video and came across this one I had saved from about 3 years ago because I liked the tone and playing

I always liked George Perry's tone on this.

Love the tone in this.  Yamaha miming in the video, certainly sounds like it could be.

 

[warwickhunt]

Often played a red Spector NS (PJ) bass about this time.

Nice tone. I wonder what signal chain he was putting it through? Lots of clarity, sustain and presence. I'd be half tempted to guess a VTDI. And then tone dialled down for the more mellow parts?

Whereas from the sound and brief hazy clip at around 2.50 this would appear to be classic P bass? (And very tasty all the same!)

I had a quick look Al, but it didn’t say what equipment he uses on any of his videos

Yep, a great example of classic P. He's a lovely player.

Lol, I actually only played on the outro ( the bit with the sliding harmonics). The walking bass was sequenced by the producer, John Robie, on a double bass sample. It was about the last thing we did on that album and by then I was thoroughly sick of Robie and didnt bother going in for the session.

That's a great tone but I find this one better for ballads....😎
