  • hey guys, what the drum machine was used ? tks

  • @Leandrodk11 I programmed the backing track in cubase, the drums were a mix of toontracks EZ Drummer and Hallion player, synths were Hallion Player and Cubase's Mono synth.

  • What pedal should I go for to get this sound, rather than the original Clone theory? is there anything similar/cheaper?! I hear about the current Clone Theory model being a very different sounding pedal, so I'm not sure if I should go for that or something else. It doesn't need to sound EXACT, but I want that spidery gothy post punk sound for my bass. 

  • @airmiami Any decent chorus pedal will do, the Boss super chorus is good. just get plenty of depth and a medium speed then tweak away, for a bit more bite put a distortion pedal before it, nothing too harsh, and your bottom end will be massive, if you like that kind of thing!

  • @JedStephens1968 I've heard the Small Clone for bass on youtube, and it sounds awful. Same with the Boss - or would it be better to use a guitar pedal rather than a bass one, to get that specific sound?

  • @airmiami the Boss pedal I used to use was a guitar one Super chorus CH-1, sounded OK but nothing like the old clone theory, in a mix I doubt most people would be able to tell the difference really, just us fussy b*stards;-)

see all

  • the best kind of bass line...

  • Btw, this video rocks...i enjoyed listening! a sort of greatest bass hits by 1 of my favorite 80s bass players ;-) the other one is David J (Bauhaus/Love & Rockets). I'll have many more lines by them to come (just 1 atm)...

  • @w3bt3k

    haha... yah, tabs are kinda becoming unnecessary now. I always learned songs by ear, but in the 90s when tab pages were rampant, that was really the only way to show people how to play songs. But now days with video, this is the BEST way to learn, aside from having a private lesson. I always learned just from watching MTV videos anyway (when they showed them) & keeping my eyes glued to the guitar/bass players, if i could see them playing on a video or live performance!

  • @JedStephens1968 Ha, cheers! Ok, i'll give a Boss chorus a shot ...
