Although my playing isn't great, JJ's tone is achievable (within reason), with a little bit of tweaking, probably good enough in a live situation?

The bass has been removed from all these backing tracks, so what you hear is my take on the bass line.

 

 

 

 

 

Nailed it!

 

 Are you able to share how you did that?

Here's my cover of Peaches, I recorded the songs a couple of years ago so I would have to go back and see what effects I used at the time, but I achieved the tone on three different basses, it's not perfect, but I was quite happy with the tone at the time.

Great tones @thebrig, and great playing too, what’s the bass in the No More Heroes clip - Lakland of some sort?

Thanks Lozz, it was my Lakland Bob Glaub PJ, it was a lovely bass and great to play, but as much as I loved it, I prefer a straight P, there's no need for the extra pickup. imo. 😉
