Bass FX

When I find myself talking about getting a great tone. I always think about pickups. You want to pay attention to those little magnets. They are the microphones of your instrument and will be considered important for the overall TONE coming out in the band. You want pickups to sound clean and rich. Currently, I use a set of Bartolini 8s on my Precision Bass and I’m really satisfied. If you’re here because your curious about the pickups, write me a comment here and I will post a sample of them. They are used and have been used by many many profesionnals. You can view a list of musicians using bartolini pickups  here.

Bartolini pickups are professional pickups and helps to get your instrument a professionnal tone. They have been one of the biggest brands for pickups since the early sixties!

The last question of the interview (@ 03:25) he tells us about the gear he uses for playing music. He uses Alembic basses, SWR Cabinets, Crest amplifiers, TC Electronic reverb stomp box. That’s pretty neat.
