ohmygod Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 MXR m-80 bass distortion. Has an amazing clean and distorted channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FenderJazz Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 (edited) You want the sound? No problemo... I have close to the exact rig he used in the 80's, the big secret is the pick ups in the bass... I have 4 Jazz Specials, and 1 came from the factory with the Duncan Quarter Pounder P & J pick ups (NON-Active...), I pipe that thru a Yamaha SPX-90 and a GK400 head. Any 4x10 cab will get you close enuff. The other 3 Fenders I have came with the std. Fender pick ups and their output isn't close to the 1/4 #-ers, the mid's and hi's are what fill the sound out... Other than a wireless, that's it. If you have a P/J set up on the ESP I'd highly recommend switching pick ups... I almost forgot, Rotosound strings are what he uses, but they will eat your frets due to the high nickle content... I switched to DR strings (45-105) and get the same soung, a longer life, and they don't kill my frets...
