Metallica Bass Sounds

[orionbandtr]

Hello.
I was a drummer, I switched to bass.
Here's my problem: I have a Fender USA pro2 jazz bass.
I have bass squezee, morley bass fuzz wah and big muff fuzz pedals for Metallica's Black album and Cliff style ktulu screams.
Which additional pedal should I add? Regards

You should probably post this on the effects forum. Maybe ask a mod to move it if possible. You're not very likely to get many answers in this section of the site.

I was about to answer "more pedals is not always the solution", but I found this link, thought it might be useful:

But appart from pedals, the playing technique is also super important (and also the strings, but not so much in this case).

I asked my mate Lars, he said turn the bass down 12db, then turn it down another 12db.

I thought that only applied after Jason Newsted joined the band.

For serious though, one thing to consider is that Cliff Burton played an Aria Pro 2 of some sort, so it may be difficult to get the same tone as him since you have a different bass.

Black Album was a Spector NS-2.

I'd start by putting EMGs in your Jazz and add a Bass Driver DI.

Start with all the BDDI knobs at 12:00 and tweak to taste. Turn the presence to 3:00 for AJFA era and move it towards 10:00 as you get towards Load/Reload.

The Muff into the Wah is pretty much all you need for Cliff's solo sound, although he eventually swapped out the Muff for a Tubescreamer.

Delay with modulation- such as the Boss DD-7 which allows you to experiment with the “modulate” mode and allow you to get very close to Cliff’s sound. Another pedal for similar experimentation is the Ibanez ES2. Neither is going to be quite like the Ibanez HD1500 that Cliff used, but you can get close.

Muhtemelen bunu efekt forumuna yazmalısın. Mümkünse bir moderatörden bunu taşımasını isteyebilirsin. Sitenin bu bölümünde pek fazla cevap alman pek olası değil.

Thx my friend

Fender was a bit weak on stage, especially in clean tones.

A Spector is all you need for the Black Album sound.
