  • Well…I need a gate! That's what's been missing! The perfectly clean stops and starts with aggressive fuzz aint really possible without one!

  • I think that Zender don't do it. It was the 99 album. Syncronized, Zender was out of Jamiroquai before that album.

  • I have a couple synth pedals that will do just this, however the tracking is terrible. Better off making the same sounds with multiple pedals. Synth is really just a combination of effects, such as octave, fuzz, chorus and compression, even with keysboards. Its a pain in the ass to have to step on multiple pedals but the sound,tone and tracking is always better with dedicated pedals set right. I have a few expensive synth pedals but they all take your signal and completely make it their own. Out of 20 something basses they all sound the same through a dedicated synth pedal because the pedal only takes your note pitch (given it can accurately process it) and spits out its own sound. Doesn't matter if im playing a rickenbacker or a p bass or a fodera or alemebic its going to sound the same and not reflect the particular bass personality or my own technique, not to mention the aforementioned tracking limitations that wont pick up hammer ons, slides or muted percussive nuances that make a bass line come alive ???? ive taken my synth pedals off my pedalboard and have learned how to get the same sounds with individual pedals. You could use a synth pedal to play Herbie Hancocks Chameleon but its better with an octave, slight overdrive and phaser. Also listen to Tony Levins sledgehammer bass line. He was literally using octave, slight overdrive, and chorus to mimic synth bass in a time when bass players were losing their studio gigs to synth bass. He nails it quite nicely at that ????

  • Good morning guys, when I started in bass, one hand was on The Beatles and the other was on Grand Funk Railroad back in ’73. Through the years and pedals later, I was never close to get that superb distortion bass tone of Mel Schacher. Ian, can you please give me a hand…..????
    Thank you in advance !!!

  • I think the original was double tracked with both: a synthesizer, and a bass guitar running through a digitech synth wah

  • Why do I have to get this sound out of the bass?!! I think it's easier to do it electronically

  • So having spent 1200 on my Markbass Amp and Cab i need to spend hundreds more on all those pedals? Sod that.

  • Was the original recording played on synth? Or was bass played through various effects as you discuss here? Whichever it’s a great bass line ????

  • Cool. Unfortunately, I don't own a single pedal. Or bass amp. Or electric bass. The only tone tool I have is a hairband around the strings on the bridge to mimic felt.
