josh3184 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 about 2.30 in this clip: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgWHiZ7aPF8"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgWHiZ7aPF8[/url] Apologies for the terrible acting on that video, it was the only one with the full song I could see Quote
waynepunkdude Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Go round the bassist's house and steal all of his stuff. Quote
josh3184 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Posted March 23, 2009 certainly one way of doing it, however the fewer run ins with the law the better! Quote

josh3184 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Posted March 23, 2009 mmm was thinking p... I've been oddly drawn by the idea of a p for a while but I love my current two too much... Quote
YouMa Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Who are the dweebs in the video,i didnt understand what was going on? Quote
josh3184 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Posted March 23, 2009 oh god I know, think they were acting out the story in the song or something. Its pretty ridiculous to be perfectly honest! Quote
SteveO Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Pretty much a generic P sound there with a bit of compression and the high mids rolled off a bit. Quote
josh3184 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Posted March 23, 2009 hmm, was wondering how to get that out of humbuckers (not gonna get it in the ray, but maybe the $$) neck pup single coil tap? Quote
josh3184 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Posted March 23, 2009 a right handed one, yep. Plus an ibby p/j. Not gonna get it outta those, thats for sure Strings are dead too, its like playing strips of sponge. Quote

Not gonna get it outta those, thats for sure Strings are dead too, its like playing strips of sponge.[/quote] Can't you turn off the j pickup in the P/J? Not to get too deep into it, thats the sound i like to use the most and can get it with either my squier P or my Yam 375 through behringer head. (The point is that they're both cheap basses through a cheap head) I'm not the most audiophilic on BC, but when someone says "the P sound" then *that's* the sound that I imagine. nothing special, just a good solid tone. /edit [quote name='josh3184']hmm, was wondering how to get that out of humbuckers (not gonna get it in the ray, but maybe the $$)[/quote] My yam is a 2 humbucker jobbie. Pan knob turned to about 70% neck, 30% bridge. flat EQ on the bass, high-mids dropped a tad on the amp Edited March 23, 2009 by SteveO Quote

Only reason I said I couldnt use the yammie is that its the wrong way round for me Quote
waynepunkdude Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I was thinking lefty flip it (or righty in your case) Quote
josh3184 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Posted March 23, 2009 but then the pup is the wrong way round! Plus when I've got my current crop of basses it seems a waste not to use them! Quote

josh3184 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Posted March 23, 2009 damnit wayne! I thought you were omniscient? Quote
josh3184 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Posted March 23, 2009 I do, but "my" sound varies daily I dont think i've kept an EQ setting for longer than a week Quote
mike257 Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 (edited) Saw 'em live last year - You're gonna need a P, a pick, and a dirty dirty Ampeg. Textbook, really. Love that tone, and that album too!! [b]EDIT:[/b] The internet is making a liar of me - every picture of them shows him playing a natural Jazz, but I'd have sworn he had a shiny red Precision last time they were in Manchester. Maybe old age is catching up with me, I am almost 25 after all. Edited March 24, 2009 by mike257 Quote
josh3184 Posted March 24, 2009 Author Posted March 24, 2009 oh its amazing, listened to it on loop for the last week! Superb... glad we've got someone with good taste in music on the forum Quote
mike257 Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Good taste? I'm not sure I'd go that far I do think the change of drummer between Crisis and the old stuff made a world of difference to them, they just sound so much better with the new guy, he's a beast!! Quote
josh3184 Posted March 24, 2009 Author Posted March 24, 2009 i agree, they lock in a lot better and they have much better breakdowns and changes of pace. Awesome! Quote
