Re: Bassists - Great Tone

In Rainbows is my favourite album of all time, without a single doubt. I listen to it every week and have done ever since it came out.

Re: Bassists - Great Tone

I've always loved Colin Greenwood's song-carrying tones, but especially the more recent 73 P Bass + Ashdown or Ampeg rig. Chester Hansen of Badbadnotgood is another hero of mine. Round, fat, thumpy Gibson bass tones. Tom Shanahan of Mildlife is also a source of glorious, rich bass tones. I think he'...

I have stock of Simplifier version 2 en route from Chile. Worth waiting for.
I’m sure google could tell me, but what’s different?

Re: Bass effects!

Chorus is quite good if you only have one melodic instrument, it can give songs a bit of space and movement. Or if you want to sound like you found your bass tone inside a bath tub

Re: Bass effects!

I don't really use many effects for covers; a bit of overdrive, maaaaaybe some chorus. I'm keen on an envelope filter but am saving for a Moogerfooger, because they're the only ones I like. My whammy is really only used on a couple of Tool songs, and as a creative thing for originals. The secret sau...

0D871D6C-35B7-4D9B-8EB8-8B34867FC493.png It’s the “do everything” board but it still needs a good envelope filter - I have my eye out for a 3 Leaf Proton but they are stupid money. Not convinced on the OC2 hype myself, probably the whammy does enough of my octave needs. Also wishing I had the big D...
