Sign in to disble this ad
Any clue on their bass players gear or his distortion sound? Particularly in the song I Used To Hate Cell Phones, Now I Hate Car Accidents?
Edit: Or in this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaaN3...eature=related |

note: Yes, I have one and yes, I use it.

I just went back and listened that Norma Jean record...It sounds like a Big Muff to me with the tone at about 4:00 and the sustain around 2:30/3:00. |

EDIT: Hmmm didn't realise that you were talking about Memphis...it probably isn't the same setup still but I'll post it anyways.

| | | | Yeah, that'd be cool and thanks for all the help guys, the other day I tried a Sansamp GT-2 through the new Peavey head and an 810, and I think I'll be getting one after I get the Peavey set-up |

Wireless receiver -> BOSS TU-2 -> ProCo Juggernaut -> BOSS Bass Limiter/Enhancer -> Boss EQ (I couldn't tell if it was the bass or guitar version.)
All the amps were behind the cabs/lighting, so I can't say for sure what head/rackmount stuff he was using, but he was playing through a Fender 8x10, and he sounded AMAZING. Seriously, ridiculously heavy. |

I've heard mostly bad stuff from the juggernaut, but every time I hear it with my own ears, it sounds great. Interesting... |

He really got some cool sounds out of it. I thought for sure there was some sort of synth pedal on there, because some of the sounds he was getting were so fat and fuzzy, but the Juggernaut was the only drive pedal on his board, and I didn't see anything that looked like a footswitch for any rack equipment. |

| | | | Thanks a ton Bassman. Now for money/a new amp before anything. |

That is, do you think he used the Juggernaut then? |

| | Son, I am disappoint. | | Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: Gig Harbor, Washington | | | Actually for the people saying that jake Schultz (the bassist for NJ) used a Sansamp. He doesnt.
I have a old Bass Guitar mag with him saying that he prefers the raw tone of miked speakers. He also likes his strings to settle over a few shows as he doesnt like zingy string sounds.
He used to play a 70's P-bass with EMG pickups, I have seen him play a Lakland JO once.
He also used to use the SVT and 810 setup.

J-face - It was a live show, so the sound wasn't exactly condusive to really critical analysis, but I don't think it was so much like BTMKTC. It seems to me like his older tone was more of a distortion, and live it was either "clean" (actually mildly overdriven) or really fuzzy. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
