[@toddhamby]

[@marcosalazarbass2210]

such a juicy tone!!! love it!!

[@toddhamby]

Thank you so much Marco!

[@marcosalazarbass2210]

what bass is that, I'm curious.

[@toddhamby]

It's an Ibenez BTB

[@marcosalazarbass2210]

what pedals do you use to get that effect?

[@toddhamby]

Done on my Ibanez BTB 6 string with the B string tuned down the Bb. Effects used were MXR bass envelope filter, MXR octaver, Dark Glass micro tubes, MXR bass compressor, and for the ending piano part I use the Roland GR55

[@xXxThelegend27xXx]

That Envelop filter sounds filthy and I love it

[@toddhamby]

Thank you Seth!

Thank you so much

[@toddhamby]

Thank you!

[@BRBbass]

Would you share what your signal chain is and rough settings? I have almost the same pedals and I'd love to get that mean sound you've got. Do you have the micro tubes after or before the filter?

[@toddhamby]

Man I'm sorry it's been so long since I did this that I don't remember

[@baldbassclef]

Hey Todd I was just wondering if you’re using any effects or just playing clean?

[@toddhamby]

[@bryangibson1497]

I always thought this was synthesized. I never thought there was a real bass track 😮
