Hunter from AFI's Gear and Tone?

The intro to "Weathered Tome" I think is awesome. How does he get that tone, and what does he use? How would I get close to it on my setup?

Pretty sure hes using a Fender jazz through ampeg cabs/amps, he gets that tone with a pick, and the treble on the eq put up.

i've seen him use a t-bird once too, if that helps any

on afi's website:

I have a whole bunch of Fender American Jazz basses (including a '75 reissue that I do not tour with), and one American Deluxe Jazz. Some of my basses have custom bridges and I've replaced the pickups in half of them (with stock pickups) but other than that, they are standard stock basses*. The Deluxe has never been on tour and is completely stock.

I have a Mesa/Boogie 400+ head and an Ampeg SVT-2 Pro head. The Ampeg is my main head now and the Mesa is just a back up. I haven't used the Mesa in the studio since the All Hallows EP.

Hope that helped
