No offence dude but this tone doesn't really match at all, Jason's tone is very aggressive sounding because of compression and having a huge midrange boost. If you listen the isolated bass tracks of AJFA and the Black album his tone is actually pretty clean, the sound you had here is too muddy and undefined. It actually reminded me more of Cliff's sound than Jason's. It also helps if you hit the strings really hard, if you watch footage of him playing that's how he plays.

@lowendfloridiancraka2 жыл бұрын
Buddy I've been trying for months to get his live tone from 91-93. TL;DL: Boost your mids, play with a pick and play aggressively, play with new steel strings, run a compressor, and pick just in front of the bridge pickup. He used Ampeg SVT-2 heads. He had the graphic eq on them set with the 2 lowest bands slightly cut with the mids boosted and the treble flat from what I can tell. He also used LaBella steel roundwound strings and Dunlop Tortex 1mm triangle picks- the blue ones. But here's the kicker. He used Alembic basses live, which he ordered with their Series II pickups and electronics. Basically their top of the line package. Which had a built in low pass filter and q for each pickup. The 2 pickups are active single coils, with a dummy pickup in between as a hum canceller. And as if trying to get a hold of an svt-2 non-pro wasn't hard enough, used series 2 Alembics are pricey to say the least. So my advice, find a good eq pedal, get a pack of the triangle picks, order some LaBella strings, boost your mids, downpick fast, hard, and alot. Also pick just in front of the bridge pickup. It looks like he favored that area when playing live. You can find the SansAmp BDDI for pretty cheap for his dirtier sounds. And for his bass solos with the "My Friend of Misery" segment, to me it sounds like he just used his Boss flanger. Last thing is that I'm pretty sure he used alot of compression too. I've gotten relatively close with these methods (aside from having an alembic and an ampeg head). Hope this helped!

Commenting again because mine from 1 year ago was a little harsh. Jason's AJFA rig was a Wal 5 string into a cranked SVT. The Klos Apollo actually works pretty well for it. However, for the Black album and Load. He was actually using an 81' Black spector NS-2 with EMG pickups and Hazlab preamp. (Every song on the black album was the NS-2 Except for unforgiven which was a P bass. See Queensryche's Operation mindcrime if you want some additional reference for that kind of tone.) There's actually no chorus to my ears on the original "My Friend of Misery" bass track. But obviously live and stuff. (There's chorus on the intro of Sad but true.) Jason inherited Cliff's power wah boost pedal from Burton's parents when he joined the band. He used that to play bell tolls. (Along with a few various distortions, he's used the Tech21 XXL, Classic, as well as a standard red Big muff in the mid 90s. He also used flangers and phasers a lot. (King Nothing into for sure.) He never used Spector live because his sweat would go into the body and fry the electronics. (His Alembics solved this problem, but were becoming a little too heavy and a little too flashy for his evolving taste, hence why he changed to Sadowsky. Who would coat the electronics in something to keep them away from his sweat.) IMO Jason's bass writing itself wasn't too special (With exception of his beautiful melodic bits on some songs). But his rhythmic tightness, and tone were perfect for the more polished sound Metallica were gravitating towards. Also you have to be plucking at the bridge, it's a requirement. It is probably the easiest way to get closer to that sound.
