How to get this tone ?

Sign in to disble this ad
Hello, I want to get this tone, how I can get that tone ?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-AtC_8b1DU#t=0m24s

The tone I want is agressive, and the tone is not a "smooth tone" !.

Please help me. I don't know if I have to change my bass or amp.
I have a Peavey MINX110 and a Yamaha Rbx170.

Thanks.

A lot of it is touch, which is an individual thing. Learning to play hard, but with control. Other than that, steel strings and lots of volume.

I couldn't tell what kind of bass it was, but it sounds like an Ibanez.

It's pretty difficult to sound huge and heavy with a tiny practice amp. Save up for a big amp, and big speaker cab, and then you're getting closer.

Unsane's bassist gets that kind of tone from an old SVT tube amp and a rusty old Proco Rat.

Tech 21 or GK if you have a passive bass, Ampeg if you have an active one.

Well... judging by the fact that the guy in the video was playing an Ampeg SVT 4 pro head through an Ampeg 810 cab, I would say you could get that tone by playing an Ampeg SVT 4 Pro head through an Ampeg 810 cab.

SVT, 810, Sansamp/VT pedal.
A Tech 21 Landmark can get that tone as well, which is essentially a powered sansamp.
