I LOVE that growly punchy tone. Any ideas on how to set my EQ/sansamp/bass to get CLOSE to it? No sarcastic replies please.  |

As I have just displayed above, there are more than two words to describe bass tone.

|  | put a bird on it | | Join Date: Dec 2000 Location: Minnesota | | | in a BP interview he said that he set his EQ (i think he has a 20 band EQ) to really focus on the 800 Hz range...something like that...Traa uses Eden cabs and amps doesn't he? that helps with growl, and i know he uses SIT strings, which are pretty good...i don't think it is all in his bass/amp...i think its the combination of all his stuff, IE playing style, amp, bass, EQ, producer of the cd, strings, acoustics of the room...etc
EDIT: i think it is also having a 2000 watt bass head turned up loud that helps...i believe that...i think amps at low volume sound different from when they are up loud |

Sorry, I just had to be as sarcastic as I could | I think it's fair to comment on Traa's Tone from a particular album, many people ask about how to get a certain era of tone from say Geddy Lee and a particular album.
This thread is no different from the thousand others that we have in recordings, don't treat it any differently just because Nick opened it.
I think he's been given some good advice so far specially from Brendan expanding his vocabulary 
Also Nick I think there is an interview of Traa in Bassplayer archives think it's here http://www.bassplayer.com/story.asp?...storycode=4018 hope this helps

Also, the bit about the amp and volume affecting tone i agree with. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
