I have an obsession for wood. The musical kind.

This isn't a perfect take, but the tone is the focal point here. It's a Spector vibe, even though Dave Ellefson used a Jackson and a pick. No fancy effects, external eq, or even a DI...just my phone and a Roland Go-Mixer ProX. Btw, I have single-coil mode engaged, with a little treble and bass boost while the contour switch is in the "up" position. Said switch position sounds like a mid-bump to me.

Luckily, I've been playing long enough with my fingers to keep up with the fast picking! :nailbiting:
