The signal chain is pretty simple really… Bass âĄď¸ Phaser âĄď¸ Reverb… & don’t forget your pick!
The real secret sauce is dialling in the pre delay so that the verb pops out slightly after the plucked note. Give it a try!

Want bass tone like Geddy? or Flea? or Jamerson? Hereâs why your sound isnât cutting it, and how to make it *perfect*.
If youâre struggling to get the perfect bass tone, that sounds as good as your favorite bassist⌠youâre not alone.
When I was starting out, I didnât really even know what bass tone was. And I was so focused on learning technique, theory, and playing songs, I had no idea if my tone was any good or not.
Sometimes it felt like my tone was super locked in, and I felt confident with my playing and had fun. Other times my tone just felt âoffâ, I didnât know how to fix it, and⌠it was frustrating and kinda embarrassing.
In this video, Iâm gonna teach you all the stuff I wish someone had taught me in my first year of playing:
– Mastering the â5 dwarvesâ of bass tone
– How James Jamerson mastered the art of mud
– How to ditch that annoying *honk* sound
– Why too much boom can ruin Tool songs
– How to actually HEAR your bass in the mix
– How Nolly gets those clanky Periphery sounds
