Shut Up & Dance - Bass Tone

[pshep68]

Can someone suggest a bass effect pedal that can emulate the bass tone in the song Shut Up and Dance by Walk the Moon?... or how I can achieve that tone using my current setup. I am using a Fender Jazz with DiMarzio DP123 pups and an Ampeg SVT CL & 810 cab.

I play that tune with a jazz bass and a pick dig in near the front of bridge pickup sounds meaty and got some good grind to it and cuts great in the mix ... Just my 2 cents

We cover that tune in my band. For me, I go without effects, including compression. I dial in my neck pickup and play harder than normal to get a "clanky" slightly overdriven tone.

Sorry to chime in late here, but just thought I would give you the tone rundown for SUAD. I recorded it with a completely unnamed pedal that was handbuilt (i'll try and figure out what that thing was and get back to ya), direct into an avalon and into protools. It's layered with the sound of my Ashdown ABM head going into a basic SVT Classic cab. As far as live, I used to use an Ibanez Bass Tube Screamer and/or a JHS 4-wheeler, into my Ashdown ABM through an AMB 610 cab. Nowadays I use a Brimstone crossover distortion. I never used to use any compression live but now i use a Strymon OB-1

Welcome to TB and thanks for the rundown. Good luck with the mystery pedal.

There you go, pshep. Straight from the man himself! That song does have a great bass sound to it. Not usually a radio guy but it's a fun tune to play for sure.
