But I do think sometimes he uses to much fuzz, sounds a little bit too dirty. |

Not too familiar with Mastodon so I dunno if he's playing basslines or following the guitar but it's a pretty cool style either way.

Yorks, England | | | Yeah I couldn't make anything out at all before, but hearing the guitars soloed he adds pretty much all the low end to the guitar sound overall between the 3 of them, the guitars sound a hell of alot more crunchy then I thought they'd be so it's a really cool mix they've got.

I would prefer it if he had a more classic tone such as Geezer Butler or something. I presume he's happy with it though! |
