Timmy C Discovery!

[fenderbassabuse]

Yeah I noticed that too. He does use some octave on doesn't remind me (track 4) but it is subtle and he uses a lot of sorta *synthy* overdrive.....

Funnily enough my guit***st bought it for me for my birthday.

Just what I can hear

 

[C-5KO]

I heard he mines the ore for his strings in the mountains of Montana.

If you practiced your sabre skills as much you do your wit, you'd rival Master Yoda as a swordsman!

Here's a transcript of his August 2003 interview from Bass Player...

But that was two years ago, and chances are he changed his setup for the recording of the latest album.

Classic.

 

[phxlbrmpf]

I don't know, guys, I think his sound sounds kind of like a Jazz bass to me.

Feast your eyes on majesty.

EDIT: HOLD ON BOYS! I've discovered something!

Look under the Super Octave. What is that? Now if that's his uber board, i'm guessing he steps on the super octave (that doesn't work) and it triggers the uber pedal under it.

 

[lowmid]

You seem to have delay at left

there's also a dunlop power brick
the big pedal seems to be his magic distortion
the aphex pedal isn't a bass exciter but a compressor
the little box under the octave i' really dont know what

 

[Tedintheshed]

I wonder if he pees sitting down?

Holy crap! the dual Dunlop wahs are intense... that's a swank board indeed.

I know that Tim C. is a great bassist, but I don't see why his tone is so mysterious. He's not some kind of mythical three-handed, twenty-fingered Bass Odin, for godsake!

Despite these observations, i've capitulated and made that my computer's desktop background for the moment... it's fantastic to stare at .

 

[jackson0321]

he is good, but way over rated
come on who does this guy think he is please

He's the (white) Jesus of bass!

 

[toddtodd]

the wahs are secured together so they both engage and sweep together
guitar players have been doing this for a long time.
srv comes to mind.....

What's the deal with that? Is the signal going through one wah and then the other or is it more like a stereo signal path with one wah for each signal? Just curious.

 

[thesmallprint]

i would say thats its one wah for each signal, as he does use three amps or sumthing and he probably has one each for the two cleaner ones (or maybe dirtier ones?). I wouldnt think two wahs in series like that would sound good anyway

That what I was thinking but I didn't even know he was running through 3 rigs! I'm a little ignorant!

 

[xan]

the aphex pedal is the aphex punch factory just to clarify.

 

[Grind It Out]

the wahs r for the 2 dirty signals, he keeps a dry clean signal

i thought of something on my drive back here...maybe the block thingy under the OC-3 is simply a riser...its on the back of the pedalboard and it might be mroe convenient for him to stomp on it if its raised up a couple inches...but seeing as he controls everything via his signal splitter(s), thats prolly not the answer...o well
