What bass/amp/effect would I have to use? That sound is just so gnarly

Kevin James derp de derp. Derp de derpity derpee derp. Until one day aderp aderp aderp. Derp de derp, ta teetley tum. From the creators of Der, and Tum Ta Tittaly Tum Ta Too, Kevin James is Da Derp Dee Derp Da Teetley Derpee Derpee Dumb. Rated PG-13.
The Geddy Lee Jazz Bass would be a good start.
But really all you really need is really light-gauge strings and really heavy hands. He digs in pretty hard and he doesn't even use an amplifier anymore (hence the backline of washing machines). It's 100% jumping from his fingers. Just crank up the volume on both your pickups, push the input gain of your amp up as high as it will go, and just lay into the motherfucker.

PFloyd, I have to disagree with Geddy Lee Jazz...Geddys infamous sound of the earty Rush was created with a Wal Bass. The Geddy Jazz you buy off the rack is not even close to what Geddy is playing. I owned one...it's not that great...My US Jazz blew it away in sound and playability.Pfl?yd wrote:The Geddy Lee Jazz Bass would be a good start.

Nope, he runs direct into the front-of-house. He doesn't actually have much bass in his tone, so an amp is pretty superfluous. A little bit of overdrive from something like a Sansamp Bass Driver will go a long way too, but it's largely just attacking the bass like a rabid badger.slay wrote:geddy lee doesen't use an amp anymore?

Truly if you want the early Rush tones, a Rickenbacker would be a good place to really start. And aggressive hands. It's all in the hands.

My friend was telling me how Geddy would split his pickups and run them into his setup separately, one with the mids boosted and more treble-y and one with the mids cut a bit and heavier on the low end. Makes sense to get that low yet distinctive sound that cuts through really well. Obviously it's not too practical to try to replicate it but I thought it was interesting.
Goddamn, this is one wacky game show.

I'll probably be the 123856th person to say that, but I'd love to own a magic bass that would let me reproduce the sound of various basses from albums I listen to

I didn't like the mods that Scott Reeder did to his Rickenbacker's (humbuckers in the bridge position) but it gave him a cool tone.

What ever rig he's using it sure sounds like
he's got great tone and so does this guy, well kinda--->http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVl39LBZGMw
Just make sure to skip past this sing-ing at the begining...
He's pretty good for an old guy...

I plugged my Bongo into my GT-6B, turned it to the "Geddy" setting, and it's actually pretty damn close to that tone.
I'm going to be playing "Tom Sawyer" all day now.

Hey Pfl?yd, do you like James Whiton? He's one of the best bassists I have seen play live. Their albums do them no justice, but if you ever get a chance to see the Eric Mcfadden Trio and haven't seen them yet, definitely check them out.

I've never heard of them, to be honest. I watched the solo and was like "ok". I kind of had a revelation about "wank" music in that I only played the shit when I was playing it for other people and going "listen to what THIS guy is doing here" but never listened to the shit in my car or by myself. That was kind of a red flag that I was listening more for "tricks" than I was for "music" and started gearing my musical interests into stuff where the music itself was the focal point.Phantom Green wrote:Hey Pfl?yd, do you like James Whiton?

And you CAN be an awesome musician and playing music-oriented stuff as opposed to wank-off stuff and that's where I tend to put my listening--and playing--efforts.

James is more about feel than anything. He usually plays with his eyes closed, and you can tell he's fused to that bass. I've heard some amazing things come from him. He used to bring his actual upright bass to gigs, which he told me is worth several thousand dollars before getting that smaller one for gigging. Definitely a class musician.Pfl?yd wrote:I've never heard of them, to be honest. I watched the solo and was like "ok".
