| I know he used to used to use mesa boogie amps,dont know if he still does. If you turn your pick at an angle and play with more of the edge of the pick it gives it a little more grind to help get a similar tone. Also, I dont think he used a p bass for that song, he was still using his gibson grabber then,but a little unclear because he was making a transition from the grabbers to p basses during that album.
EDIT:
From BG magazine:
BG: What was Mike using fro the Dookie Sessions?
RC: He had a Gibson G-3 bass,but we wanted something more agressive. So we rented a modified Fender P bass from S.I.R.
BG: Thats when you got turned on to the Evil Twin D.I.?
The Evil Twin direct box has been part of mikes sound since Dookie. If you want to cut through,those direct boxes are fantastic.....Thats the majority of Dookie: The P bass,the Evil Twin D.I.,and the Seventies SVT.
