I absolutely love Matt Freeman's tone on Rancid's "Indestructible" album. Does anyone know what gear he uses, bass? amp? effects? Thanks  |

Thanks | In the studio I think it's mainly a Precision (he said so in an interview about the 2000 Rancid album). Live I've seen him use both a variety of Fenders and a Musicman Stingray. Amp-wise I think it's mainly SVTs. Based on the interivew I mentioned above, I believe he also uses no effects whatsoever.
In practice, I can get closest to his tone using a Precision with a maple fretboard and playing with a pic. I hope this helps.

Lint is good though, I prefer OP Ivy to Rancid.

The two guitarists I play with run a Mesa Boogie and a Marshal full stack turned to 11 with full distortion, along with a super loud drummer, and it cuts right through with the master volume and boost only pushed up 3/4 of the way. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
