Sign in to disble this ad
I have a digitech BP80 and its really good with mixing a lot of different effects together.
I want to get this thing to sound like jaco Pastorius
besides the obvious sound of a fretless bass
Does anyone know what effects he uses? |

Only effects he used was the distortion in his Acoustic amp and a 2 second delay set to infinity. Other effects on studio albums were added in the studio.
But the main thing were his left and right hand.

Hey, anybody notice his formerly sophisticated style of composing has undergone a grave change of direction? He's now deeply into decomposition.
If you like dark, earthy minimalism, try to catch his next composter's workshop. You'll dig it. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2008 Location: Melbourne, Australia | | Rather then starting a new thread (and it is on the subject), what was the type of reverb he used in Chromatic Fantasy? Reason I ask is that I'm doing this piece for year 12 and need to get as close to the tone as possible for better marks. I have a TC Electronic Hall of Fame Reverb. At the moment it's sounding pretty close with a 'Hall' reverb. Any input?
(sorry to 'hijack' a bit)  |

(sorry to 'hijack' a bit) | Are you kidding? Do you get better marks if your reverb sounds exactly like the one Jaco used? If that is the case i would like to have a word with your teacher |

(sorry to 'hijack' a bit) | Bro, they don't care about tone in the HSC (or the equivalent in your state, I'm guessing VCE?) so long as they can hear it. A generic hall reverb will convey the message perfectly. Just relax and have fun and you should get great marks - especially playing Jaco.

(If this is sacrilege and I must die...so be it.) | There’s a nasal quality to his tone that tugs at your heart strings. People who don’t like Jaco’s tone are the same people who don’t cry watching “Lorenzo’s Oil”. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
