hi all!

does someone have an idea how the eq from the bass of the album "the law" looks like?
its an amazing sound.

sounds like a lot of bass and low mids and highs mids, and just less high and mid mids^^ if i can explain on this way.
exhorder unfortunately is not very famous but the made 2 amazing groove-thrashmetal albums. their bassist is really good. he does sometimes his own things. i highly recommend to listen to i am the cross and soul search me - the bass is crazy there. and the sound also.

its such a powerful sound. its brutal bass which is very defined u can hear the notes clearly. its not just typical bass sound.

so if anyone has an idea how the eq looks like please let me know of our thoughts!

thx and greez

I'm a fan of exhorder and the law is pretty awesome album. I dig their cover of black sabbath's in the void. I'm not quite sure if the bass player has a tube sound or a warm solid-state sound. but yeah, it does have a higher emphasis on the low mids. an eq pedal would be a good bet on getting that sound. but if not an eq pedal, try a tube-emulation pedal.

i just have a pedal from the brand crate with a small stick to push on and a small red light bulb next to the small stick. i dont know for what it is i never tried.
but thx for the answear! lots of low mids must be key in the sound.

what really disturbs me i read somewhere that the bassist (sparcell) just played one song on the law while the guitarists played all the other basslines. i hope it was just a joke^^
