Hey guys trying to find out what overdrive is used on the bass in the song "pet" by APC. Sounds so full and thick and just plain awesome and I want it. I've got a sans amp bddi. The overdrive sounds pretty crap when cranked... Only good for a bit of dirt and I've got a bass big muff which is a...

thought id revive this thread and add my 2 cents. I recently got an HH sterling BFR. I'm running it through a GK 1001rb II head and an ampeg 410hlf cab and also using a sansamp pbddi pedal. These get me extremely close to the tool tone. Real huge sound u get that makes you rock out even in...

I'm running a gk 1001rb II through an ampeg 410hlf with an MM sterling HH. It's a great rig, I like it a lot but my tone is incredibly punchy, clean and articulate. Looking to add a little grit to my tone... Sorta like Justin chancellor from tool has a bit of grit in his tone. But he uses a pro...

Justin chancellor from tool uses a wal. Favorite bassist with an amazing sounding bass. I'm so intrigued with his tone that I wanted to find something that sounds similar. Really punchy, articulate, heavy and fat. Just got a sterling HH BFR and it comes really close. Fell in love straight away...

Thanks guys. Really happy with it! Beats my old schecter studio

Finally got my new sterling bfr HH. Looks and sounds amazing!

always loved the bass. Seeing players like flea and cliff burton play just fascinated me. I got some lessons for a couple years but was mostly taught how to play funk. I like funk but it's not what I listen to all the time. So I lost interest in the bass for a long time. Never practiced...

Thanks for the info guys. I put a deposit down on the Bahama blue HH sterling. Hopefully get it real soon. I'm so excited! I keep staring at the pictures and just drool over them :)

Hi David, I've been playing with a pick now for 2 years but I think I haven't developed a good technique. Sometimes when we play live, my hand starts to cramp from holding the pick too firmly and if I loosen my grip, the pick starts sliding out of position. I really love the way Justin...

First DDT set I used was regular gauge. Kept its tension really well in d. I was just hoping to get .110 to get a little thicker, meatier tone

I recently got my bass setup with some EB regular slinkies (.050, .070, .085, .105) but found the strings went dead after a few weeks and the tension in the E string when dropped to D was really floppy. So was thinking of getting custom set online. Thinking some DR steel strings (.045, .065...

In Australia, an HH sterling would cost me 2800. The one from bass central in USA is 2675 and our dollar is a little stronger at the moment. So I'd only be paying more for shipping. Worth it I reckon

Oh sweet as. So the only tonal difference would be from the type of wood used for the body? Guess it wouldn't be a major difference then

I emailed bass central and asked them bout it but no reply. I guess they saw I was from Australia and thought "ye whatever" haha

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed] The very first that comes up. Bahama blue burst HH sterling bfr maple neck. Either that one or the emerald green. Not 100% sure which one yet
