I was listening to juicebox the other day and the main riff sounds really cool.
does anyone know what bass he plays in the video? looks kinda like a flea bass or something.
I saw a live video of him with a jazz aswell. anyone know how to get a sound like that? my band might be covering juicebox.
thanks, |

Very good bassist tho, too bad about his illness. |

| | | | I got a quick glance of it at the beginning of the video, it had a MM style pickup at the bridge. and the body shape looked differance to the normal MM (might just be me being weird) so I assumed it was a flea bass.
guess im wrong since I just watched it again and it definatly has a MM style pickguard |

but it sounds like a jazz on the record. |

| | | | I want to know the exact bass (with pick or without it) & pedals he used on that one if it's not too much to ask. |

| | | | Why do such clearly barely mediocre bands get so much attention? These dudes are barely better than a garage band. I'm not trying to call anyones musical taste into judgement but any time I see that bands name I get infuriated. It's my problem.

You should know better. |

Don't forget this is pop music, as for the garage sound, it's what makes the charm of this band.
It's ok you don't like a band or genre but dissing music you don't like is another thing. |

He's probably only heard "Last Night" on the radio and is making judgments from there... 
Oh wait, I just made a judgment...  |

Nah, it's also my problem. |

| | | back on topic...when I play juicebox, i boost the bass and highs, and cut the treble. use the bridge pickup and turn up the tone volume all the way (for a fender jazz, at least). a little bit of gain doesnt hurt either 
but yeah, nikolai is a great bassist, and the strokes are a great band. he has some cool bass work in red light- anyone heard that tune? | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
