Neck and bridge pickup even, boost the lows and highs, cut out the mids, play with a pick. Rock out in anonymity.

He had a five string, but you could easily enough replicate it by tuning down to C# or D, depending on the song.

And his tone was butt-simple. No mids at all, which is why you could never hear him.
