this is actually pretty good, the only thing it needs is something like a transparent overdrive with the gain all the way down, just to give it that tight low end and extra “clank”

[Cool-znuh]

1. He played an active Ibanez. 2. He has a distortion on, most likely a rat because he loved that thing. 3. He hit hard with his heavy gauge pick, he also had low action so it was naturally distorting.

RIP THE PIG ALONG WITH THE JORDISON, The goats forever (don’t forget Slipknot second bass player (Alessandro Venturellas bass tone)

I like his tone because it has the perfect amount of bass and treble.

Paul would've appreciated people trying to recreate his stuff. He was such a sweetheart

this man will do anything to not play a 5 string lmfao

Stingray, loose strings, heavy cut on mids, tilt bass and treble just a bit and use an ampeg. Also, it’s good to mention that he did use a sans amp bass di.

Edit: The gear I’m talking about is the stuff I use. I know about his ATK (I wish I had it) and that he used a Warwick as well, but you can get insanely close with just those pieces of gear.

Just got my 5-string out to play it after years of not doing so, and this was already helpful as a reference for the treble, mid, and bass settings!

Awesome video.

How about Ryan Martinie from Mudvayne?

[matthewduncan]

The EQ seems right but definitely needs more of that super bright string high content. First in the series I’ve seen so far that felt a little farther off.

Love these videos and your channel!!!

Active humbucking bass pickups are just unmatched

[DBKMX]

Sick!!! I think the whole thing is sick

[Nenenerii]

duality is such a good song, absolutely love this tuning!!

[FLCLTOKYOJAPAN]

Sounds like shutters hitting during a rainy day

[megwell]

I'm pretty sure Paul had his bass strung B E A D. Tuning the E down to B could could be too floppy but the tone sounded right in the neighborhood

[ParanormalArson]

Almost there! For Slipknot, you really need a bit of dirt in there. Paul used a SansAmp Bass Driver and a Rat at different times. I *think* it was Sansamp during this period, but either would likely be fine.

Thank you for the tip because I got my behs back after it was re stringed so I’m going to start learning

[robetprice]

I've been listening to this on repeat

[mrcrabs]

also for anyone going for strings I think one of the other members said Paul used really thin strings actually or relatively thin
