Mike Inez AIC (tone poll)

I dig it, not for me. Sounds dominant in this mix. I wonder what the live vibe was. Since this was obviously done off the board.

It's a pretty cool tone. I checked a couple of other tunes out from that show,same tone throughout the show. Even on the slow acoustic songs. Didn't mesh well,IMHO.

The whole mix sounds like poop to me... just pulled up No Excuses from the same show and the kick drum is farting in the intro. Not sure what is up with that.

Oh, and the vocals are pitchy as hell... really disappointing.

I didn't think the vocals were bad at all. That kick drum though, geez.

I voted too overdriven in the bass tone too. Blech.

I was thinking the same thing....just toned down a lot compared to the ox.

I should have said, I like Mike Starrs tone the albums. Mike Inezs recored tone is pretty good too but that live tone is to overdriven.

He sounds way better in the unplugged version. Almost fretless sounding.

ughh I wish I could re vote. I think the overdrive is nice, but the sound is pretty horrendous.

Great playing but too much drive.

My favorite Inez tone is his unplugged acoustic bass tone. Love it.
