Hey all, I know John Deacon’s tone has been discussed a lot on here, but there is one aspect of it that I haven’t found much of. That is when he is playing in the higher register of the bass, those notes don’t thin out and lose their bottom end. Does anyone know how he did that, or ways to not lose the bottom end of the upper register? If I need to clarify anything, just let me know. Cheers!
I believe that he played the higher notes on the lower strings higher up the neck rather than playing the higher strings lower on the neck. I’ve found that to work nicely to get that rich full tone on higher notes as well.
