I’m somewhat of a starter, but it’s been almost a year and I play a lot of different stuff I like but primarily I play a lot of punk and a wide range of the sub-genres that come from punk… However, I really chasing Dee Dee’s tone. I’m a bit of a Ramones nut so I would like have a better tone.
I have a Washburn P Bass and the most I can do tonal wise is through my practice amp (which suffices, I don’t need a big ass amp) and I basically followed a video from Danny Sapko… I know Dee Dee used Fender P Basses through the majority of his career, with the occasional oddballs here and there, and he used a Ampeg SVTAV Head and SVT810AV Cabinet from '75 to '83 then he used a Ampeg SVT-CL Head and SVT810E Cabinet from '83 to '96 (Which all of his gear was practically passed down to CJ after Dee Dee left the band).
I’m also not sure how this really goes or works cause literally neither Johnny or Dee Dee used pedals… Except Johnny used a Boss TU-12H Chromatic Tuner Pedal but even then I don’t think Dee Dee even used a tuner.
I’m just open to advice on the EQ settings that can help me in the long run or some piece of mind on the topic.
