trying to get a sound right, Simon Gallup bassline!!!

[deltaheavy777]

Hey guys, I'm Cris. Currently I got a simple Digitech bass pedal into my OscarSchmidt Deltaking hollowbody bass by Washburn, it looks and sounds exactly like Simon's on the "Cure Show" tour... lol, well not exactly

I'm trying to get the low, gritty-clean tone! EQ settings are heavy on low-end, very minor mid, heavy on the top. Pretty much as close to this clip as possible, i love this sound!!

... or just youtube the cure 'Disintegration', it's the first 'live' clip!!

On an article, it says Simon uses pedals like a Boss MT-2,etc etc. Just wanted to be sure they would work on bass, maybe??? Sounds like they're guitar pedals, just hope they can work for bass!!

Thanks!

He's always used the Boss Guitar pedals, like the Chorus Ensemble, for instance.

cool. now in that clip, what do think he's using? would it be all those pedals maybe, Boss: MT-2 distortion, NS-2 noise suppressor, CE-2 chorus ensemble, BF-2 flanger?

going to the shop today, of course i will playem all and be sure.. just wanted to be sure those pedals will work for bass hehe!

It sounds like chorus and distortion.
