Cerce - Damaged Goods

This song is certainly my favorite of the Cerce discography. To me, it’s a perfect composition. It might seem a little bit noisy at first :smiley: but at least it’s very short … also there are a lot of changes everywhere and it involves way more counting that it may appear.

The song is in Drop-C#, which is certainly my favorite tuning. It set up the Graboïd for this tuning with heavier strings than what I have on Greenie. (the bass still works in EADG/DADG but with a slightly higher action)

I’m quite happy with the bass tone I managed to get from this old beast. I used the modded ODB-3 and a graphic EQ in front of it to boost the high mids and treble (1.6 kHz - 3.2 kHz) and to get more grit and attack noise. I like how it sounds at the same time fat and agressive. The price to pay was the EM noises, hard to manage with a saturated single coil pickup. I had to find a specific place/orientation in the room where the EM noises were quieter, and I recorded from there.

This Grabber would be pretty hard to use live (at least with the kind of tone I expect from it), but it’s a studio monster in my opinion.
