trying to get a specific bass tone

[Manhattan Glutton]

I'm intoxicated and want to hear your latest revision to your bass challenge.

Will do next chance I get. I think I'm fairly happy with what I got - it's a lot better than what I posted.

Also, I've been listening to Phantom Planet ever since this thread. I'm trying very hard not to let it influence me on this weeks song.

They influenced my "Hard Landing" a bit. Love 'em. Too bad they broke up.

The funny thing is, PP is no dif than half the bands here on the mighty SF.

Well, they write good songs. That counts for something. But you're right about production - I accidentally saw them live once and they sounded terrible.

I have a GK MB-150 head and it's very versatile. I run it through twin 10s for punch and a Fender 15 cab for depth.

You can get a plugin for GK heads. Chweck out some samples here:

"In Axes" sounds pretty close to me.

this is a good thread

I suck at bass sounds.

will try to read all this more closely one day and try stuff out.

I just downloaded the demo to play with. I love the GK sound.

A friend of mine in Austin is selling this sweet looking 1968 Gisbon bass, with an SG-style body.

It's starting at $1300, which is probably way out of the price range of most folks here, but I thought I would post it anyway just in case. Jon Eric, maybe your band's bass player wants a sweet new bass or something.

I'd absolutely love this bass. And I'm saying this without even playing it. I have an early 70s Gibson SG guitar disassembled with all the parts still in it's original case. I planned on that exact color of this bass and they would look sweet hanging on my wall of shred.

Damn, I love that song. Why don't I listen to Phantom Planet?

I covered the song before, but with my shitty bass. Maybe I should share it. I <3 Phantom Planet - especially their bass lines and sound.

That's funny, I covered that song back in 2005/6 for the GOM. My voice is not well suited to that song. Great original song though.
