Hey!

Does anyone know what sort of setup chris used to record this album? Its obviously a P- bass of some sort on most tracks.
But the sound has a really nice grit to it aswell..

Even if you could point me in the right direction to an interview with him etc.

Thanks a bunch!

I know he has a huge arsenal of basses from what i remembered reading on an online interview with him. I can't find the interview right now, but I remembered he has various Laklands such as a Bob Glaub and a Hollowbody. He very likely uses vintage Fenders as well. I'll try to find that link for you.

That's funny as I just listened to that cd again yesterday and was saying to myself...man, I love a lot of those tones.

Here's the BP article written about the time Strays came out.

Basically either Vintage P or a Glaub into his Aggie rig.

I remember reading in BP about some sort of distortion he was using. It might have been for the thing he did with Dave Navarro though.

Thanks for the link mate!

Yeah its one of my favourite tones ever....especially on track 5 "the riches".

Thanks again.
