Are You Looking For Awesome Tone??

I've been a SansAmp user for about two years now, I initially got hold of the SansAmp Bass Driver DI to use as an overdrive that wouldn't be too harsh, however I soon found that my bass sounded so good with it on that I never turned it off!

That's why I upgraded to this bad boy!

White Lights - Jon Lawton

The first song from my bro's upcoming album has been released, with yours truly on bass of course!

Go check it out on Soundcloud, it's super catchy too so make sure to send it around! 

Bass was recorded on a '93 Wenge/Maple Fretless Warwick Fortress One, DI'd at Crosstown Studios. I played the bass on most tracks from this album too so keep your eyes peeled for more soon!

Bass Effects

A lot of bassists use effects but not always to good effect! Flea, is not one of these players. I've just uploaded a video of my cover of 'Around The World' where I have tried to get my tones as close to Flea's as I can, check out the photos below to see the settings I used. The Boss ODB3 is my favourite overdrive/distortion pedal , it's not too difficult to control the feedback which has been an issue with a lot of the pedals I've tried, it also works very well used to fatten up any synth sounds you're using. This was used for the intro riff and the SansAmp for the rest of the tune.

More videos on effects coming soon but in the mean time get some more of Flea's tasty effecting, check out the wah solo in Coffee Shop.
