Hi Crystalman, thanks for these patches. I have tried your Darkglass patches and I wanted to know what do you think is a substitute to the squeak on MS60, I am getting a good sound from the muff. I remove Section 1 since I am using a spectracomp.

I don't own a zoom ms-60b, but I have noticed that the effects are limited compared to the zoom b3. if anything, try using the samsamp bass driver model with the boss metalzone or odb-3 model at a low gain setting. not quite sure if that would be close, but it can give you a killer grind. give that a shot and see if it works out for you.
Hi everyone!
Recently, I bought a Zoom B3. Amazing!!!
As many bassmen, I wanna to discover my Bass Heroes' tone.
Cliff Burton, guys! That's my objective! Do you have any idea or suggestion about his tone with (and without) wah effect?
All the best!!

John Deacon always ran his basses direct into a mixing board in the studio. That being said ABTD was played on a Stingray so pretty much all you'd have to do is bump up the low mids on either the parametric or Boss-style graphic EQ and us some compression.
Hi guys!
Could you give me your impression about this test?
160 COMP: -15 / 5.5 / 10 / Soft / 100
FUZZSMILE: 20 / 75 / 70 / 100
ZTRON: 5 / 4 / 0 / 48
All the best!
Here's a new patch idea I came up with. this patch has a mid-focus metal distortion sound that resembles that of swedish death metal. useful for bass solos and drum and bass type bands(meaning a band with a drummer and a bassist).
Swedish metal bass
Section 1: znr: thresh: 17, decect: efxln, level: 100
Section 2: metalwrld: gain: 50, tone: 45, level: 100, balance: 25
Section 3: DI5: gain: 70, tone: 3, level: 100, hicut: on

Here's another patch idea I came up with. this patch has a warm grinding distortion sound with tight compression.

Here's a new patch idea I came up with. this patch closely duplicates peter hook's bass chorus sound. a great chorus patch for 80s music fans.
JD bass chorus
Section 1: d comp: sense : 4, tone: 7, level: 90, attack: fast
Section 2: chorus: depth: 50, rate: 25, mix: 80, locut: 200hz, level: 100, pred: on
Section 3: bass pre: bass: 4, treble: 2, level: 80, mid: 5, midfq: 400hz

Section 3: bass pre: bass: 4, treble: 2, level: 80, mid: 5, midfq: 400hz
Here's another patch I came up with. this patch has a preamp sound with tight lows and a mid-range presence.
Tight preamp
Section 1: d comp: sense: 5, tone: 7, level: 100, attack: fast
Section 2: free slot(any effect you want)
Section 3: DI5: gain: 70, tone: 4, level: 100, hicut: on

Here's another patch. this is a preamp patch with a vintage vibe.
Section 1: optocomp: drive: 7, tone: 57, level: 50
Section 2: free slot(any effect you want)
Section 3: bass pre: bass: 3, treble: 2, level: 75, mid: 5, midfq: 300hz

I once thought of this patch and it sounds pretty close to his sound from the master of puppets album.
Section 1: M comp: thresh: 20, ratio: 5, level: 90, attack: 7
Section 2: Bass bb: gain: 10, bass: 3, treble: -2, blend: 25, level; 75
Section 3: Acoustic: bass: 4, mid: 4, treble: 3, midfq: 400hz, gain: 45, level: 85, bright: off, cab: ag1x15, mix: 50
Give this patch a try and see if it works out for you.
Other option that I'm working is:
- get your preset suggestion with main tone
- in some parts (bass solo or bass intro like Anesthesia or For Whom The Bell Tolls) 'll change for other preset when:
- substitute M Comp to Comp / Wah and put more Blend or Gain in Bass BB.
