Pow_22 Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 Im awful at using words to describe certain tones but i am certainly on the 'old skool' camp. I use an old MIJ Jazz with flats into a Cali76 compressor that feeds into a Fulltone Mosfet bass drive set to 'subtle' and into an SVT 3 pro with gain high up and valve voltage set low. Its not necessarily more breakup I'm after but a clear woody slightly growly tone. I fully get that the below clips will be through valve amps live but is there a pedal - say a Origin Effects DCX drive or maybe something else to get this type of tone. Or alternatively is this more of a P bass tone that ill struggle to cop on a jazzer? https://youtu.be/MOveYAuDJvw?si=rfNAZLNek5cOWRud https://youtu.be/znoxSwzjI3A?si=bze66A-MmRlXFXd4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernaut Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 I would suggest a different pickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beedster Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 Always hard to know what processing the bass signal has undergone in the studio, but I'm not hearing anything I'd not expect to get from any decent Precision there? But listening perhaps too deeply, the grindy bit is easy, the hollow bit perhaps less so (although I'm not hearing. alot of what I'd call hollow, the only bass that's ever really given me what i think you're referring to is a Ric with neck PUP soloed), and there is the risk that you're about to head down one of these.... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 I’d be looking at a Precision with a 50 type voicing pickup as the starting base Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
