Hi.
I am extremely interested in finding out what in the name of great tone Jack Lawrence used to get that sound. I searched several times and found nothing. I know that he uses an English Muff'n, but I wonder if he used different tubes or maybe even a different pedal altogether.

here is the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scJ8ITsZsl4

all I could find is this:

GEAR
Bass 1967 Epiphone Rivoli with Rotosound Jazz Bass 77 flatwounds (medium gauge)
Rig Ampeg B-4R and Sunn 350B heads, Ampeg 6x10 cabinet
Effects Electro-Harmonix English
Muff’n Overdrive

I think he uses a Big Muff aswell and Rickenbacker 4001 its an amazing tone that can be heard in a lot of songs like Consoler of the lonely, Salute your solution

sounds to me on that recording like its a good ole jack white sound. ala POG with Fuzz. Sounds like a octaver for sure (low octave and direct signal).

it could be, but in that band White it's supposed to play the drums maybe it is a POG but its played with bass

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-D955tYIfbM doesn't sound as good but it is bad with bass

all i know is that he's been playing that white falcon bass with the dead weather and i'm fighting severe amounts of envy.

old graphic fuzz?

vegas532 · #9 07-12-2009, 11:58 PM

It looks like 2 microsynths, actually.

Green Mind · #10 07-13-2009, 12:10 AM

What's in the middle. I love the tone he gets on that song.

vegas532 · #11 07-13-2009, 12:23 AM

Fulltone Bass-Drive...the underrated hero of the bass effects world.

Gashaponcito · #12 07-13-2009, 12:42 AM

why his Bass-drive only has 1 toogle switch? earlier version?

vegas532 · #13 07-13-2009, 09:39 AM

Yeah, it's an old one. The earliest one had no toggle switch at all...one of the pots was a push/pull (Jeff Ament and Jeff Caxide rock those).

Fishyfan · #14 07-13-2009, 09:53 AM

I have found it. Use the BMS settings in the photo and your there. Its amazing how close to the record it is.

vegas532 · #15 07-13-2009, 10:26 AM

I just had to add...the more I hear Jack Lawrence's playing, the more I like it. That guy can throw down when needed, and always grooves like a muther.

Way underrated player!

+1. Ive only heard the Dead Weather stuff, but I really like what he does. That Fuzz is so perfect for the song too. really makes that song work.

I love Jack Lawrence he is freaking amazing I dunno why EHX hasn't asked him to make some Demos it would be awesome!
