Michael Shuman's live tone

[iomamo]

Shuman has one of the gnarliest rock tones ever played on a Jazz bass imo. Plus QOTSA... hell of a live band. But I mainly wanted to alert BC to the *mighty* bass tone Shuman gets with a Mustang on this new track. 

 

(Excuse me while I talk myself out of buying a short scale.)

Very gnarly indeed, wonder if it was all bass/amp or if pedal

Ah, just found this:

 

What are you using to get the deep tone on “Carnavoyuer”?

The song had no groove when I first got it. Josh had this vocal idea and I was like, Man, that's a beautiful song, we've got to do it. My tone came from two pedals, which are the Way Huge Conquistador before a MXR Bass Envelope Filter. I had that set up at home and I was messing around with it, and it's so cool. There's something about the pedals in that order that worked well. And it was the Yamaha bass along with those pedals getting that sound.
