Guns N' Roses

[superfrede]

Hi all

Can anyone please tell what effect the bassist in guns n' roses is using in the intro of sweet child of mine?

From me

 

[BadB]

I don't hear any. It's probably compressed slightly. If you can't hit that tone, a touch of chorus might, but you'd have to be judicious about it.

i believe he had a boss chorus pedal IIRC

 

[Vic Winters]

800RB + Chorus.

 

[Asa Samuel]

He used a yamaha rack-mounted chorus back in the guns n roses days, cant buy the exact model anymore but you can buy things that sound similar.

 

[Siegy]

Use a pick.

 

[fishtx]

Use a pick.

+1...maybe very very light Chorus as well...

 

[Darkstrike]

Any chorus will get the sound, and a pick

 

[mlbarlow]

there was just a little write up and transcription of that in bass player ... maybe it was two months ago now ... check it out

He still uses the yamaha stuff. Check out his website...http://www.duffmckagans-rawpower.com/equipment.php.

I may have missed something, but what Yamaha's?

There's an SPX90 in his rack in the bottom picture.

 

[Hookus]

Ahhh

 

[KPJ]

Ahhh

It is kinda hiding there...

 

[Vic Winters]

That is awesome, thank you pt5.

 

[Swimming Bird]

So, do you think he just leaves on a light chorus all the time?

 

[Darkstrike]

Pretty much
