@@thewetterbass Yeah, Geddy Lee has a great tone, very distinctive. John Myung should've tried to emulate Lee's tone, because on many Dream Theater albums the bass sound gets lost in the mix.
@MrClassicmetal @MrClassicmetal mmm… yeah sometimes that happens. OD can definitely help find a better spot in the mix. When it comes to John Myung’s tone, my guess (and experience) is that it’s more a question of feeling the bass rather than listening to it, Also, in general, it depends on how you’re listening to music, how trained your ear is to listen to specific sounds, etc… and when it comes to bass players, it comes down to how you want to hear yourself. So my guess is that John perceives the attack of his playing (high mids and above) as a way to find his spot percussively and hear his playing in the sometimes massive soundstage of the band.
Great video and format! Some really nice sounds, too. Hats off :)
Sounds pretty good! It's the type of overdrive for playing Rush songs, that's the 1st thing that came to mind.
Interesting! Will listen to some Rush and pay more attention from now on. 👍
