I found this recording of Alice in Chains... I REALLY like this tone!! Who would have an idea of how to get it?? I know Mike Inez uses Spector and Warwick basses (yes he uses both), Ampeg SVT amps (SVT 2 heads, 810/118 cabs)... How "Would?" one EQ their amp/bass to get this sortof tone??

Dont turn this into a big debate over what equipment you THINK he uses... he might have been using a different setup here but Ive watched videos were hes stated that hes used that kind of setup since his Ozzy days...

PS Yes I know! Im a tone hound!!

Heres a recent recording with a similar tone...

The signal should first be run into a Sansamp PSA 1.1, then into the SVT. Nice it of Sansamp crunch into the front end would work nice.

Cut the mids on a preamp going into the amp, then all bass and highs.

Standard '90s rock tone. Picked bass guitar into overdriven tube amp.

Big AiC fan here, his tone is to die for. I agree with tehbassist about cutting the mids.

Cant wait to see them in September.

Vt-bass, any relatively smooth amp, play with a pick

This.
Take a DI to FOH(EQ for pure bass tone) and mic the 8x10 as IT is what is screaming with bite/cut/dirt/what-U-want.

You can get this sound with fingers and good callouses on the tips and extreme EQ(Geddy does similar). And an SVT in its sweet dirty spot.
Nickelback and Staind use a very similar picked tone, it works very well for bringing the B string out in a mix.

You can probably get it out of a Line6BPXTLive tweaking the SVT clone to its extreme....
