Phil Lesh EQ curves?

[agedhorse]

Phil didn't always have a "single magic tone", he was in fact quite varied in both his tone and the gear he played (which evolved overtime).

In recent years, for example, he played Subway D-800's with Subway cabinets (combination of 115's and a 112's).

Different eras, different approaches.

Totally. I was saying early 90s tone.
I think I'll be really close with my Genzler rig, Osiris PHILter, and the Sandberg bass with the Delano Xtenders.

The aim isn't to copy the rig so much as to approximate the tone.

Here's Phil playing a D-800 with a Subway 115, clearly he's getting "his tone" with this rig, in fact he used this rig (sometimes doubling up) quite a bit over the past 10 years.

My D800+ > SW 115+SW112 has been doing the trick for me for the past seven or so years. I'll play my Smith or a Gould GGi5.

Don't know if you ever found your Phil Sound, but for me it was Alembic Pickups through an Eden WTI Stomp box. I can run this into the Effects return of anything and dial in a Phil tone
