Any possible way to get this tone?

Inez uses Spectors with EMG actives in AIC. And I agree...that's definitely the sound of an active EMG loaded bass, although I do think other basses would be capable of getting you in the ballpark.

EDIT: Whoops...looks like he also uses Warwicks.

haha Nice! Those two basses just kill for that sort of low mid throaty growl tone.

Off topic, but I’m curious what you flew in the Navy. I have a few friends in the Candian Forces and am a bit of an aviation enthusiast. I always enjoy hearing people’s experiences who have served their country.

I apologize for not answering - I missed your question somehow. To answer your question, I flew in Lockheed P-3C Orion's - antisubmarine warfare aircraft. Canada uses the same plane but they renamed them "Aurora". I had over 2000 hours logged. One time we had to go on a special mission from Maine (where I was home based out of) to Nova Scotia for about a week. Saw lots of Aurora's there & the Canadians were awesome to work with. They brought so much food out to our plane for our mission. We can fly about 13 hrs (which would be a long flight). My job on the plane was the Inflight Ordnanceman. I was responsible with loading the plane with all the sonobuoys (used to locate & track submarines) & any weapons, such as torpedo's, bombs, mines, Harpoon missiles, Maverick missiles, rockets, flares & nuclear depth bombs. The P-3C's are driven by four Allison T56 turboprop engines. We can fly from Maine to Sicily in one shot without refueling. But you can't make it back without refueling because of the jet stream. When you are the inflight ordnanceman you are also the inflight photographer. My main camera was an Agiflite 70mm. Then we also had a 35mm for backup and while on deployment in 1993 in Puerto Rico - is where all of saw & used the first digital camera ever - the Sony Mavica. up until that point nobody ever heard of a digital camera or knew what one was. Here's a short video

When I got out of the Navy I learned to fly airplanes myself at my local airport.

Thanks for sharing. We see the aurora at the local Abbotsford Airshow so I am quite familiar with it. We are also fortunate to see a lot of the USAF and USN aircraft as well. Always fun talking to the different flight crew on static display. It’s really neat how much collaboration there is between our countries.

It was interesting to fly missions out of Canada. When operating from a U.S. base - you don't eat on the plane unless you bring things. You forget to bring any food items - you don't eat. In Canada, as I was fueling the plane in the darkness of night, I see a truck roll up to us & I was wondering what it was for. These guys start unloading these steel, square containers which we then quickly got an assembly line going and got them moved up the ladder and into our plane, and there was A LOT of them. Once they were in the plane & we opened them, they were just packed full of food. Pretty much everything. Salad's, sandwiches, fruit, ketchup flavored chips, soup - you name it. I got a little irritated because I was thinking "Wow. So we normally don't get jack on our missions. But look how Canada takes care of their aircrew. Totally the opposite." So needless to say, we had a great time flying out of Nova Scotia & we looked forward to every flight :)

Ketchup flavored chips... That's what the USAF didn't let you eat in the plane.

Cool. That's the base I was talking about where we were. They put us up in this little mom & pop old school motel somewhere. All I remember is when you went to the office area, there was stairs that went down. Once you were down in the basement, there was a full blown bar down there. We had a blast :)

Haha I'm US Army ( Hunter army airfield), I have to chastise you for the Canadian obsession with ketchup and for sitting for a living. I flew by boots and tracks. (Apart from combat drops in the c-130)

Thanks for your service up north there eh, I had some Canadians attached to our division and they were all good folks.

Edit: I missed you were USAF haha! Im field artillery what we lack in reading comprehension we make up for in steel. Thanks bat!
