The Who My Generation by Jon/Blind Rage Band, Tampa Bay Area

Blistering bass solo just like John Entwistle. Originally started playing on drums at age 5,I took an interest in the bass some five years ago, age 14, after discovering the incredible bass virtuoso of John Entwistle, the origianl pioneer of "Lead Bass." This was one of the songs that my band Blind Rage played at a Battle of the Bands show, which happily, we ended up winning. Everytime I watch it
it reminds me of the feeling of intensity which I felt of wanting to beat out the other bands. The way the song turned out with the sound of the bass,the solo, my screaming, just seems to capture the moment of victory that night.

What a bass sound. incredible. and great singing too. I think the bass player would make a better fit for the current bassist The Who has now. recently seen a Who show on TV and the bass player was whimpie sounding. maybe they should give this guy a holler.

Hah, yeah, if only dreams could come true. I do cringe when I hear Pino attempt this solo live.

When will the big stars realize that there are regular people out there as good as the greats that once were?

That tone is great. Nice job, man.

thanks, you should hear the rig now. I changed it up a little. I now use a samson headphone amplifier to split my signal two ways. One signal feeds into a Digitech 2120 Preamp for the effects, and then into the Sunn Concert Bass. That is sent to my 2 Hartke 410 cabinets. The other signal chain goes directly to the Hartke 3500, running the Hartke 215XL cab for the lows. This way, I can have the low, clean bass at all times, while having a highly distorted/processed sound at the press of a button.

Distortion pedal was on whole song too. I wanna stress though, the sound you hear has a lot with the speaker cabinets and the amount of bottom I can get out of them. Thats the key to the sound. However, If you used a Geddy Jazz bas and a DS-1 through a mixing board, or a preamp, or whatever, you could get a similar sound out of it, and I think you would be pleased with it.

[alcan60283]

well, honestly, the sound you hear really stems from the amplification on stage. I'm sure if you wanted to get that same sound you could in the studio with just the bass and the pedal if you used some EQing, but the main part of my sound I contribute to the Sunn Concert bass head, it really makes a big difference in the tone. That and honestly, i am playing REALLY loud, and thats the only way to get it to sound just like that.
