Lots of love for eddie jackson in this thread! Yeah he has the lh1000 setup now. The bass that sticks out for me was his white ns2 spector.

Nate Gangelhoff from Off With Their Heads and Banner Pilot - any song from either band's albums

Played many a gig with OWTH in the KY, OH, IN, TN area. Singer was a total prick. Bass player was the nice fellow of the group. Classic example of good pop punk Stingray & SVT tone..

I suspected he was a Spector guy. I knew that was a GK sound , so today at rehearsal I fiddled around with a GK 400rb and used my old charvel 3B and I was able to replicate his tone pretty accurately . Scoop the mods and crank the boost knob up to 3:00. Crank everything wide open on the bass and voila! Instant Eddie Jackson tone.

I sent an email to Paul quoting this and he was humbly pleased to hear that his efforts were appreciated. Here's an excerpt from his reply:

"Thanks matey. Thank you for telling me that.... That's lovely to hear".
