Hi all!

I can´t understand how to obtain the bass sound of this track: "Gaz - Sing sing 1979".

I am actually a little close to it just pulling up gain and putting bass + mid at max on the eq of the amp. But... is not so similar

Is there any compressor + few distortion (perhaps only induced by the compressor)?

I can also obtain a similar sound using a bass preacher (both the gain and compressor level set to 12:00) going then inside a moog mf-101 bypassed but saturating a little the input with its drive knob (active also when bypassed).

Thanks in advance for your support... hoping to reach soon a level where I can also support the forum!!!

Interesting!

thank you for the suggestion. I will investigate the possibility of using an alternative pick up. It seems Seymour Duncan has in catalogue a 4-string Music Man Stingray pickup.

thank you again for the suggestion!

Very close, except for the typical difference of long vs short scale, that is still present. But, close enough and nice. Maybe I should also change strings... it could be really the right time considering their status... really...
