Members poomwah Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 Anybody play any of them? What tools and techniques do you use to get that sound?I know he plays bass lines on a two string guitar, but I don't want to go that route Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bluedogaudio Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 Is this even a serious question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members t3ch Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 I listened to peaches and am not sure how he got the twang on the intro parts, but there's some reverb there as well. It might just be how his pickups/strings sound with the highs cranked. It sounds like regular 'ol bass otherwise, just with no mids. The rest of the songs I can't hear well enough on these laptop speakers at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rpsands Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 Use a pick aggressively and play by the neck. S'what I'd do to get a tone similar to that anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dDigitalPimp Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 we cover lump. pretty straight forward tone. i either use my vt bass pedal from tech 21 or my mxr m-80 di with the color switch activated. both work pretty well. i just got the tabs from ultimate tab and learned the bass tab. works fine for me.

Members poomwah Posted December 17, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 Thanks guys, its mainly the intro sounds that I can't figure out, peaches was one of them. The one I would really like to figure out is the beginning of dune buggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Super Bass Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 Serious enough that if I have to I will tear two strings off of the mockingbird Don't do it. If you want the same sound as Chris, just pick up an Epiphone SG guitar and modify it. That's what he plays! http://www.inthequeue.com/guitbass/ They're one of my favourite bands. I've seen them play live about 5 times and wouldn't hesitate to go again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't use effects... the only thing I've seen him using live is a TU-2.He uses a pick and plays into a Hartke I think? with a 1x15 cab.
