Book of lies overdrive sound.

[bassplayer2106]

Anyone heard this of the 'Book of flame album'.

What a great track from a fantastic album.

What pedal would give me the sort of overdrive sound that you can hear on this track.

I know that he uses a Boss VF1, and that he programmes a lot of the sounds himself, but is there something else I can use to aproximate his sound.

My set up is a SEI 6 string bass into a Lexicon MXP1, through a QSC poweramp and an Accugroove Tri110L cab, I'm using the Lexicon instead of a preamp.

Thanks

Thanks so much for asking about this track! I’m actually kind of proud of it…

I did two little distorted Hyperbass solos on “The Book of Lies” and if I recall correctly, the first one I recorded through one of my old Digitech multi-effects pedals (RP10 or 12) and an even older Deltalab delay line which I reached over tweaked while I was playing to get the sound to sort of dissolve into that helicopter swirl and back. The second solo I think I did through one of the original Zoom headphone amps -- 2001, I think was the model. Pretty cheap stuff, really, but sometimes those things are the most fun!

well if i do say so... you should be proud of all your tracks. Your stuff is great and totally original. Also, I heard somewhere you were on of Jaco's students back in the day at berklee or elsewhere, is that true?

Thanks!

Yes, I studied with Jaco in the early eighties in NYC.
