has anyone here ever come across one of those tones that makes you raise an eyebrow? They could be good, they could be bad, they just have to be WEIRD!
I heard a while ago, this song off Limewire that claimed to be thus:
Tool and Disturbed- Killing you now
it was neither band, similar but neither, good song but the bassists tone  it was very very strange, check it out if u have the time |

I keep on reading he likes to use some sort of phaser stomp box, is this an example of how it sounds? |

I knew this, I have a Ric myself, I was talking about his amp settings. Im sure he's using a considerable amount of overdrive and alot of mids and treble to get his tone.

| | | i always thought on C2B3 the song "48 hours to go" was done on one of his fretted basses. Either way, i must say that his tone on that album is WAY out there...i kinda like it   |
