I was watching Late night with Jimmy Fallon last night and an old band called Brad played on his show. They were a old Seattle grunge band back in the day. Their bass player Mike Berg has a great sound or so I think.. This is like the sound I have been trying to get for a long time but can't seem to pin it down. Most likely because I don't have a SVT rig like he does. Anyone have any tips I am using a Sans amp DI, Carvin B1500 head and 4x10\1x15. Soon to hopefully be a 4x12 before to long. Here is the link.. Enjoy

It is not the Rig ... effects give you that tone.

So any idea how to go about getting that sound? I can't really see what he is using for FX..
Thanks!

He needs to lay off the effects and buy himself a pair of shoes,for Christ's sake. What's up with that?
