  • @actualturtle2421
    @actualturtle2421 Год назад +1

    When I was 13 and I first started playing I purposely blew out the speaker in my little 1x10 practice amp because I was going for that Geezer tone and to this day it sounded better than any overdrive pedal I've ever used. But what I've been missing all this time were the flatwounds. It's so obvious in hindsight since he plays like he's playing an upright (on top of the fretboard, two fingers to strike notes etc) so of course he uses flats.

  • @Sean_thompson_bass
    @Sean_thompson_bass 8 месяцев назад +1

    I just rewatched Geezers 7 minute EMG video and it shows several clear glimpses at his Hartke Kilo heads. The graphic eq is pretty flat. Then starts to drop down at the high mids, with treble rolled off. Going off of the graphic eq, and trying to use what I could on my Rumble 100 115, bass (50hz) and low mids (330hz) are flat, high mids (1.6khz) is dialed back to about 10 o clock, and treble (8khz) is completely off. Volume and tone all the way up on the bass itself. Flats may have been used early on, but by Heaven and Hell, he was using a bc rich with dual active EMG p pickups, and his latest basses were custom laklands with his passive emg GZR signature pickup, which I have and love, and DR black beauties.

    What about Cliff Williams bass tone? He plays Stingray, flatwound and with a pick most of the time. At some songs (The Jack) he plays with his fingers, sometimes even with his thumbs (song: Who Made Who).
    You will see (hear) how underrated he is (i.e. song Shoot To Thrill or even Highway To Hell)
