I searched but got no real info on this. What bass & effects are on the studio version of this tune? I'm guessing a Steinberger w/a flanger or chorus..?

Is there a man-law rule against speaking openly about this tune or something?  If so, could someone just put on a nice dress & PM me the answer?

No, I don't want to see you in a dress.  |

| | *kidding* | | Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Northern California | | Thank you so much.  I have an old Stein-Hohn-berger that would've sounded perfect but I did a horrible-looking yet fairly functional defret; maybe I'll pull that one out...
Edit: And I'm taking the dress off as we speak...

I can get a similar sound on my G&L L-2000 using these settings.

I've found that the real secret to getting this tone is does not come in a box. It comes from your fingers. Plucking as close as possible to the bridge will get you pretty close to without the aid of any effects. That being said, I am a total effects whore, and I also use chorus and compression to zero in on this sound. |

That Youtube clip is it as well.
