Sign in to disble this ad
Is there any professionally recorded songs by major artists that features a bass guitar that changed between distortion and clean throughout the song?
Most of the time the tone of a bass remains consistent through the whole song. But I figure prolly ratm or tool might hav afew songs on their repetoire with dist/clean basslines?

Greg Edwards from Failure!!! | Great suggestions on these two. Justin Chancellor, of course, does a lot of that in Tool songs and Eugene Goreshter of Autolux switches around quite a bit.

| | | | Starless, from King Crimson's Red album starts with clean bass which gets dirtier as the song goes on. Quite a marvelous track, that one - the bass tone at the very end is just perfectly filthy. Several of the tracks on their live albums from that period ('72-'74) have varying degress of (somewhat) clean and (very) distorted bass. Wetton used a Jen Fuzz/Wah at the time.

Even if I'm wrong it's a good album to listen to  |

| | | | Great tune, but McCartney added the "fuzz bass" on his Epiphone Casino getting overdrive either from an early distortion box or from the board.
