Rex Brown's Spector tone just fits this song so perfectly.

It's not bad but nothing spectacular, IMO.  Anything would sound great against Diamond Darrell's horrible tone.   :P

Not my tone, but I like it. And proof how you can play bass in a metal band and not have to sound like a tuned bass drum.

I liked it as well, sounds active to my ears, but at least you can hear the bass.


Seems like for metal it's active trebley or lost in the mix bass.

Rex Brown is a Spector endorser and has them fitted with EMG electronics, so his clear active "Clank" on this live version isn't really that surprising.

Here's the studio version of that song.

 I'm not much of a metal fan actually, mostly because the bass is so lost in the poorly eq'd sea of guitar.........Don't like Pantera either, but you can at least hear Rex Brown and I do like his tone and his Spector.  Could be way worse, could be a Wankw&*k  8)
