Sansamp Bddi can get your close enough for most people.

Thing is....what tool sound. The bass tone us quite different over the different albums. 10k is mostly quite dirty whereas aenima almost seems to 'shimmer'. With my G&L and a sansamp bddi i am pretty close to aenima's tone. But still miles away from the ballsy,beefy but dirty grind of 10k. As i...

Artist Spotlight: Danny Carey (part 1/3) - YouTube skip to 2:25 for something my ears welcomed!

:D Or maybe its a double bluff......:eyebrow: Anyway I love that little ditty whatever it turns out to be!:hyper: :bassist:

Does anyone think this has any relation to the "problem 8" track that Blair has been talking about? His comment about not knowing who the bass player was would put that track bang in the middle of time of recording Aenima, and I can hear overtones of 46&2 in that track!

is how i set mine, but at the moment i am not bi-amping. I switch the rat on and off for various numbers. Sort of what jc does with the gt 2. My grit comes from my overdriven valve head and a sansamp bddi. I just add more drive to get the lateralus and 10k tone.

Any chance of a picture of the sgd pickups? Will they look like wal pick ups?

Dont suppose there is any chance of some sound clips.....:bassist:.....with a heavy pick.....:hyper::ninja: cheers

No UK dates :bawl::crying::rollno: Guess I will just have to pack my bags and move across the pond! :eek:

Add a big dollop of chorus for some shimmer too!:bassist: When I play it, My CE-5 is always on!

Firstly - you are not allowed to post things like when you are going to see them play live, especially for two shows thats just not playing ball - has Justin forgotten this little island called England! :crying: But yeah I totally dig what you are saying, nailing the 'Aenima' tone is very...

Hey TMB - I woul love to see what mods were done, any chance I too could be privvy to that information? thanks

Just to update- Mxr is a different league to the br-2 thanks for the advise guys! I am a happy chappy!

It's all down to taste and also the reason as to why we need to cop his tone! Example: my band started as a generic "grunge" cover band, we played nirvana, ratm, pearl jam, stone temple pilots and a couple of tool numbers, so then yeah my double humbucker bass>sansamp would do. But now we...

Ah ok, so it could be normal? As I was expecting the "whoomp" that you hear I Jambi right before Adam fires up the heil! But I can only coax this nasty clacky/ clipping noise! I am a bit bummed out really as I have waited ages to get one lol MXR it is then! Thanks again!
