Can YOU cop this tone? (Warning, Metal content)

[CarlosRoberto5]

Markbass is normally very mid heavy and cuts through the mix just brutally. They do sound pretty bland if played without a band, do not let this impression turn you away if you are into a mid present bass tone. Some of their amps have a filter that turns the trademark midrange tone into a scooped sound, i think it's called VLF/VPN Filter or something like that. One turns the sound more vintage (damp and wooly) and the other scoops the sound, just like the contour filter on the GKs.

That would have been my best bet on that sound, a GK1001. It can get very clicky and still maintain beastly lows. Most of their other Amps have too much growl for that type of sound.

After checking out the GK1001 you mentioned, I'd say I agree with you. That tone that he's getting seems very similar to the tone I've seen others getting with their GK amps. Thanks!

Adam Swan plays an Aristides Model 50. Sorry for the thread necro, this randomly popped up in a Google search.

Maybe message him on social media and ask him. Worth a shot.

He's an endorser for the brand. They have videos of him playing his on their site.

Typical Djent bass tone.

uses a plectrum all downstrokes or aggressive 3 finger plucking up close to the neck (clank from frets with overdrive/gain) or slap depends on song. (sometimes all three right hand techniques are combined within same song)

I like the fact you have warn people on Talkbass there will be Metal in a thread. Carry on.

The best way to ensure that your thread receives NOT ONE SINGLE RESPONSE would be to put "hardcore punk" in the title. I bet nobody read this this post of mine from this spring.

Unexpectedly strange bass tone (warning: hardcore punk content)

That was a cool video.
