I believed this for a long time. But on the DVD you can clearly see Rivers playing through a Marshall amp during the recording of the Blue Album. Even though it has been stated that the Mesa was the only amp used on that album. and it is an accepted notion that Pinkerton's crunch was a big muff through a Marshall. So I say....it could be possible the same setup was used for both albums. Weezer conspiracy theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members aeonrevolution Posted May 10, 2006 Members Share Posted May 10, 2006 So say, with my newfound bass, I want to attempt this tone. Should I just run the bass into a SD-1 or the Bad Monkey then into a Big Muff? Because I've tried just going straight to a muff and the sound is nowhere near as articulate as on this song.

Maybe I'm on crack though. I'm confused yo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members papa taco Posted May 10, 2006 Author Members Share Posted May 10, 2006 Originally posted by amanonfire i have heard that the guitar on that album was recorded through a jcm900slx This makes sense to me. I know the JCM900 is much maligned compared to the JCM800, but some of my favorite guitar tones have come from them. For example, Joey Santiago's work with the Pixies. Nice. taco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TaronKeim Posted May 10, 2006 Members Share Posted May 10, 2006 Check out the MXR Bass Blowtorch... the clip of that badboy has me swimming... has a blend knob... and mid emphasis shift switch. I have a Dirty Boy Cannibal Boy that sounds awesome with my 5-string. Chunk Systems also makes a gated bass fuzz called the Brown Dog that does some really awesome tones... super flexible too. If I didn't have active electronics though... I'm positive the Wooly Mammoth would be the way to go for huge fuzzed out tones. -TJK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be great with guitar or bass. taco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
