Cici absolutely NAILED both Cliff’s tone and bass parts. This might be her biggest success in the series.

[@CiciVonStrangelove]

Wow, thank you so much! That means a lot. I discovered Cliff in 2020 (thanks to other people asking if I was inspired by him haha!) and he quickly became a player I look up to a hell of a lot. Massive respect to him and how innovative he was :)

[@adamdam]

She played so fast and hard, massive respect, when they played that section of ride the lightning, it was an absolute joy, I was totally absorbed by that moment, crushing bass.

[@CiciVonStrangelove]

@@adamdam Wow thank you so much! :)

[@AnnoyingOrange420]

@@CiciVonStrangelove the Cliff tone was great, certainly a lot better then what I see many use, they seem to forget distortion AFTER the wah and it ends up sounding more like Geezer Butler or something

[@nbrowser]

@@CiciVonStrangelove wow...just wow....girl, you got one hell of a bright future ahead!

[@grantkelly2751]

I’d LOVE to see James try to recreate his own tone on a $1500 budget

[@aldrinaldrin4618]

It will sound the same once he starts to grind his teeth

[@DegeneratronMedia]

James probably doesn't know there are instruments that cheap.

[@WhoWouldWantThisName]

You mean James's tech, lol.

[@CiciVonStrangelove]

Loved doing this one, Cliff is a beast :)

[@derbobbyz]

great job on Anesthesia

[@CiciVonStrangelove]

@@derbobbyz Thank you so much!! :)

[@400_billion_suns]

Cici Bass is a beast :)

[@metamizol1606]

You're amazing! 🤘🏻❤️

[@Maggai]

Fantastic job!!

[@patrickburbridge]

Basically what we've discovered is that James Hetfield's tone is an expensive guitar + expensive amp + incredible picking technique. Hard to replicate on a budget.

[@OkayyyIGetIt]

Nah. Just scoop every mid possible and then set gain, treble, and bass to max.

[@vladv5126]

And then you'll sound like every 16 year old bedroom guitarist thinking he sounds like metallica

[@morphine0000]

@@OkayyyIGetIt if only that worked... :)

[@OctopusEars]

An amptweaker tight metal jr is your best bet for getting high-gain out of a pedal.. boost it into a tube power section and you're good to go

[@warhead5809]

Nowadays? It is actually pretty easy to replicate. Buy a modelling amp or some multifx pedal thingy, select MESA recto or MESA Mark simulation, scoop the mids, adjust the eq and voilà - you have a metallica-ish guitar tone. Certainly better than this crap they have showed us.

[@doctoribanez]

I'm not sure about the distortion for James. Maybe an eq pedal would help but seemed a bit fuzzy to me. I could listen to that bass solo all day. That was awesome. Love these videos with these 2

[@CiciVonStrangelove]

Thank you so much! :)

[@jmabs5096]

Eq pedal is 100% needed for these types of amps and most if your looking to get a an approximate tone through a 1x12 vs a huge monster expensive chain. You won't get 100% but EQ Pedal would have go rid of that flub. I use one when I can't get an amp "just right"

[@rhystaylor8634]

I agree, it sounded very muddy when played out of the mix, though in saying that it sounded OK in mix. But yeah less muddy Distortion and qn EQ pedal needed

[@danielbarrientos7586]

@@jmabs5096 What is a eq pedal??

[@michaelsnydermusic]

@@CiciVonStrangelove It was nice hearing Cliff’s lines so clearly for once. However, the guitar tone just didn’t cut it. That was 100% the amp. The moment he chose it I shook my head feeling bad for Dave and the inevitable struggle he was about to have. You can go super cheap on the guitar and pedals but not the amp.

[@chrisrushtonltd]

listening to dave try to convince us that his tone is good makes me smile.

[@discopreacha]

Cici is amazing at capturing the tone and the feeling of Cliff. Sounds so AWESOME!!!

[@comedyash]

Cici absolutely owned this episode can’t get enough of that distorted wah sound!

[@TheComedyGuitarGuy]

I could watch these 2 for hours. Couple of product geeks giggling at their own awful puns. It’s so endearing and charming and then they absolutely CRUSH the playing. It’s literally perfect.

[@stevenwillie2782]

Cici's awesome. Everybody loves her!

[@jkwacker8225]

As soon as I saw the fender amp was chosen for James, my expectations were not gonna be high for this. It would probably have been the last amp I would have chosen for this 😂. It did great for the cleans but that’s about it. Well done on the bass stuff.

[@voss451]

It's one thing to do this 'on a budget' but there's a difference between 'we're gonna pick some gear and play songs by -----' and ACTUALLY trying to sound like the artist. Using the LTD was a step in the right direction but the Fender was a huge mistake. Even a Line 6 amp would have been more in the ballpark than using a Fender combo and a Behringer distortion pedal.

[@nunyabizness9885]

@@voss451 Or just use a Boss Katana...

[@atlejohnnyrygg7124]

Don't think it did well in the Iron Maiden video either...

[@shanebiggs1888]

Sorry but that amp all by itself on the metal channel dialed in can take on most Metallica sounds minus the Justice sound really, as James used two amplifiers, a mark 2 and a Mesa Boogie combined so yeah, tough sound to recreate, but that fender amp is what I use and can take on whatever I throw at it and I've been playing for over 20 years so indeed fender makes great amps.

[@shanebiggs1888]

I got away from pedals a long time ago for this very reason. None had the same tone and feel as straight from the amp.

[@jamesshaw476]

I love it when Dave and Cici do these videos 🤘❤

[@greevar]

If you really want to do the Hetfield sound, you need a 5/6 band EQ to scoop the mids. Lambchopper showcased the EQFH (EQ From Hell), which is a absurdly powerful parametric EQ. He was able to get several different tones from Metallica, Megadeth, Pantera, etc.

[@jmed99]

The scooped mids EQ thing only works on Mesa Mark-series amplifiers, because Mark-series amplifier have inherently tons of mids. If you do that scooped V shape on EQ in almost any other amplifier all you will get is a muddy as sh!t tone. Of course, unless the amplifier itself has tons of mids. I used to think that you need to scoop the mid until I went through a Mark IV, Mark V and the JP2C.

[@Habixus]

Look up the latest video from Jim Lil about amp tones. It's crazy! Basically all the famous amp sounds are just a mix of EQs and gain stages in different orders and how many there are. He swaps the order around and it results in a Vox, Fender and Marshall sound! So what you're saying makes total sense! Put a powerful EQ in front of the amp and it will be able to bend the sound very efficiently to what you want.

[@theconsummatenerd]

Dave is like some kind of mad genius when it comes to nailing those tones!

[@NBNracing]

Cici, you crushed it!

[@CiciVonStrangelove]

Thank you so much! :)

[@waynebridger4998]

Entertaining as always, good job Dave and Cici. Keep the videos coming

[@paulmckeown5672]

These two complement each other really well with both their playing ability and knowledge of what kit the artists uses. I like the discussions they have on what they are going to choose and why. The playing section really gives you a true feel for how the guitar and bass go together. Top job.

[@davidharvey8812]

They’re presenting has got so much better and fluid over the past few weeks . Well done guys 😊👍🏼

[@SteveMallam]

Really liked how much time you spent in the store talking about the options - great video!

[@stevegroves]

This series rocks! Cici and Dave are just awesome! Thanks guys, always informative and helpful vids and the playing is always great!! :)

[@heymrguitarman7637]

I want to be as enthusiastic about anything like Dave is enthusiastic about an arbitrary bit of gear for the tone on one song. wonderful stuff, love these videos

This is a great video guys Fun and lots of information on pedals and guitar and amps I liked the way you approached the time too Thanks !👍👍❤️

I'm totally addicted to the videos you both make. I love both your personalities. Not only do you sound amazingly like the original artists but the whole search for the instruments, amp and pedals are informative and entertaining. I appreciate the musicianship in every video and how you cover key tracks. Love these spots!!

[@13IanH]

Very enjoyable and useful insights into how to replicate Cliff's and James' tones. Excellent job on capturing Cliff's tone and playing style, Cici. Mind you I'd expect nothing less from you 😊😊

[@AlbusBand]

These two are amazing; love watching every video they do.

[@MadAboutBusiness]

LOVE THESE TWO!

[@ArizonaKelly]

Absolutely love these two they are the best "sounds like" team ... Keep up the great work folks it truly appreciated

[@109acepilot]

yeah Cici you absolutely owned that tone, congrats! As I'm sure Dave already knows, but a guitar with active EMG 81/60s in it would have been the axe Dave needed, along with a parametric EQ to sculpt the tone even more.

[@jackclark1356]

Dave and Cici are such a pleasure to watch. Well done

[@TB-vq5ie]

The Andertons shop is so awesome. They have everything! Wish they were in the states.

[@bambam5669]

That's a mighty bass sound for 717GBP / 850USD. Cici's playing in Ride the Lightning was 10/10 and her use of the wah expression for Anesthesia was basically perfect too. Dave did a great job in this video too but you just can't give your attention to anything else when someone is bringing Cliff's sound back to your ears. Just goes to show you how high his musical IQ was.
