He was just showing us what you can do as a guitarist with a bass. If you own both and make music, then you usually record the bass lines first (don't have to, but it's a method). But yeah I agree that every guitarist should own a bass, and vice versa. I guess a drum machine, if not drums, also.
I agree. Too much distortion for the rhythm. Alot of heavy guitar sounds are alot cleaner then nnnyou think. Heavy distortion sounds alright when your playing alone but with a band it turns to mush. I have a Peavey Tubefexs. I only used it for effects vbecause I preferred the sound of my Mark 2 Boogie. However the Tubefexs blows away alot of the products that you see today. I've had a Vox Le and Boss Gt6 and GT8. They are more versataille but the sound is not as good as Tubefex.
still really didnt sell the idea to me of having a bass guitar to, because yes you make great music there, but also you have all that great equipment to make it all work
how do you have your computer speakers set up?..I'm getting a pretty hot signal so I rolled off a little bass and it sounds fine to me.clear and punchy
ohh ok i never knew he used one. thats a fact i didnt know. now he only used like 2 rack mounts for effects and his old laneys(soon to be ENGL's i believe)
This is why guitarists SHOULDNT own a bass....haha, nah im kidding sounds cool lol

since we are guitarists, wouldnt it make more sense to lay down a bass rhythm track and jam over it on guitar LOL.
btw i agree with u i own bass gear for recording purposes. but then again i also own drums haha.

Trust me, my speakers are great, it's just that he miced it up badly.
GuitarManMilaneus 2 years ago
i think the problem was too much distortion actually and bad equalization.

one question.... what did iommi have to do with this video?
LordOfThisWorld74 2 years ago
He used to endorse the Peavey TubeFEX preamp (which is what you hear w/ the guitar tone). VERY rare, discontinued piece.

Google Iommi and TubeFEX - you'll see some links and old magazine ads of him using this preamp.

Google Product Search search "Peavey FEX", it should be the first thing you see.
