Show of hands here - is that the rick or the jazz? To me that song's intro is the epitomy of timmy c's awesome tone.

Any ideas of how to dial that in?

I think he's just really digging into whatever bass he's playing at the time. Though I wouldn't be surprised if that tune was played on a Rickenbacker. Does Timmy still have that thing or did he smash it too?

It's a jazz. I know he credited a Ric on the album, but I don't know if he really played one on EE. I have both- Ric is just too bright, Fender (with overdrive pedal) is quite easy to reproduce that sound. I cut my low mids and boost my upper mids ever so slightly on my amp, keep the tone knob on the bass wide open, and add some distortion.

I absolutely LOVE is tone on that album. IMO, it's the best he got.

You are right, sir!:D

That and it's much louder in the mix than on any other album he's done with ratm or audioslave. Thanks guys.

Ya I read everywhere about him playing a Rick on that album but I don't hear it.The tone is killer all the way through that album but I don't hear the Rick anywhere.That said the tone on "Tire Me" is a bit different to the rest of the album.Anyway of telling?Ask the big man himself?Although he probably wouldn't tell!
