And in general, this kind of tone that you hear in most songs by The Cure.
I tried a search, but came up with too many results like...the cure for sore fingers.....the cure for <whatever>.

Thanks!

Use a pick. Roll up your treble a bit. I also use a little of the edge of the pick. Just a little.

Also research Simon Gallup, The Cure's bass player.

I can get a similar sound on my precision bass, using a pick and rolling the mid and treble up a bit.
