Low mid icy crunch

[OndskapensHersker]

this is the best bass tone i have ever heard.

[Adrianrulz]

Great tone! This is the ONLY Warwick I would even consider owning.

[nsxaj]

I loved it!!!!

Very Tight Playing.

[toblakai]

BO or NT?

[44numskull]

@toblakai NT with brass nut.

[Raconteur1990]

your playing style is somehow similar to mine. Good to see this video :D

[hereawhile]

Words cannot describe how much I Love this tone

[Raffinix666]

love your sound :)

[mrhensonandmrhartzog]

how exactly did you get that tone you gotta share, do you record direct or with an amp, with a di?

[TNCreature]

Hi, Can I ask when why you would use the Effectrode PC-2A AND the s LMB-3?

I don't use compressor/limiters (maybe I should?) so I am trying to learn more.

Thanks!

[44numskull]

@TNCreature I turned down the compression and just used it for the tube warmth. I thought the boss limiter was enough and didn't want to over compress my tone.

[ern500evo]

What settings have you got on your hyper drive pedal?

[44numskull]

@ern500evo I actually took a photo of the settings when I made this vid.

input 1 o clock,

Freq 12 o clock

drive 11

mix 12

output 11

Q switch down

I don't use the Ashdown now-a-days. I've moved onto the Darkglass B3K pedal. The hyperdrive is still a great pedal though.

[ern500evo]

@44numskull

I've tend to use my Sansamp programmable BDDI rather than my hyperdrive at the moment as it gives me the option of saving 3 different sounds but i am seriously tempted by the Darkglass B3K, they sound incredible!

[vukstanovcic]

sick tone!

[CSAN33]

Sounds great will you upload some more videos sometime soon?

[Vinterless]

Great sound.. a good way of kicking a pick player in the face =P (no offense)

Any other equipment you could share? ;)

Congrats!

[andrewt248]

That is THE rock bass tone. Nice track, man!

[Darkit2099]

How do i get that sound? Are you using any effects or is that just the tone of the bass when its clean? That's the bass tone I've been trying to get for years

[GBPoncho]

nice tune it reminds me of Tim Commerford

[McLovin666ll]

very nice douche

[ibanezbass96]

awesome !!!

[Steelman2yuo]

Hi, sound REALLY smooth playing ! ! ! And with good sound too, like that !

[44numskull]

@bassmaster361 Yes, I keep the action as low as possible. It's tuned down to E♭ plus the E string is tuned down to D♭. I'm getting some fret noise but Its nothing I can't live with. I need new frets. $300 for a re-fret, ouch.

[EmiSquier]

Muy buena linea master, y se sonido que le sacas al thumb me alucina!

[bradeism]

That tone is positively crushing.

[OverloadBassist]

Nice little line. I love the sound, like I want to marry that sound. What was the background sound?

[44numskull]

@OverloadBassist Thanks. The sound in the background in just an organ I found in Garageband.

[OverloadBassist]

@44numskull is it possible to send me an audio file of that organ?

also the overdrive is compressed right?

[BlackMaidenTallica]

@44numskull In a short summary, how exactly did you aquire that tone? minus the x factors of your bass and amp/computer....

[Fenderwolf95]

I nearly shat myself when I heard the first note. Fantastic tone, man.

[funkmasterjoe1]

Did you put the basslines in yourself.How much better do you think they sound than the mec's. I have a double buck,frankly not happy w/sound.My corvette SCREAMED.This one sounds like there is compression turned on. Any help ?

[44numskull]

@funkmasterjoe1 The Mec pickups are just as good as the basslines, IMO. I actually like the higher mid sound of the MEC's better and I might put them back in old thumby. The big difference came with the Aguilar 18 volt on board preamp. I think the heavy bubinga body helps with the sound as well.

[AgnazarTube]

Great Sound =)

[strangerhythm]

Outstanding tone sir! Thanks to this video & a couple others I have now ordered an aguilar preamp for my Warwick as well. Dont forget to mention how your Steve Harris like heavy fingers also contribute to the crunch ;)

[TheKiller1945]

wow. how did u get that tone?

[44numskull]

@TheKiller1945 Lots of Boss bass limiter, enhance on 0. Aguilar preamp treble on 10. Slight distortion in the mid range with the Ashdown Hyper drive.

[sandiayflores]

Great sound! I have a OBP 3 on my W streamer.. can I ask you how did you set the eq and the pickups of your bass?

[44numskull]

@sandiayflores Thank you. Both pickups - Bass EQ at neutral- Treble EQ full up.

[FunkDW1]

Great Sound!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Boodakon]

Ohh, wicked tone dude. I'm currently researching and considering throwing a OBP-3 in my Thumb, and your vid is definitely supporting the idea. Thx for posting!

[44numskull]

@Boodakon Do it. I noticed a big difference with the Aguilar pre. The treble EQ is outstanding. The bass EQ is great too but I never need it.

[TheGallery213]

Nice tone, punchy with a bit of grit. Are you eqing much with Sansamp or using it purely as a DI?

[harshtree]

awesome sound and playing not so bad too ;)

[kascollet]

Thanks a lot !

[kascollet]

Very good crunchy tone.

What are the settings on the bass and what effects did you use ?

[44numskull]

@kascollet Boss LMB-3 into an Effectrode pc2a tube compressor (with the compression on 0 working as a preamp) into an Ashdown Hyperdrive pedal into a Sansamp bass DI direct into my computer. The crunch mostly comes from the Aguilar OBP 2 tone circut and cranking The treble. Also, the pickups are basslines jazz pickups.

[funkbassboom]

awesome tone man!
