best long scale bass for a dark, chunky sound

i have a short scale bass (a kay k2b) and love how it sounds. the one problem is its short scale so playing in the tunings i want to (drop b and drop c) will be very expensive as there arent really any string sets out there that cover those tunings

whats a good long scale bass with a similar tone to a kay k2b (hoffner staple pickups), as well as these bands?

calm (post hardcore band from san jose). basically just Rickenbacker-y and hoffner blade pickup style pickups through a russian big muff. i think in this video hes playing a rick. https://youtu.be/xN4HYPV2Hj0?is=g0C3QIRgkoHeD31x

i dont really care about the price but ideally something cheap. im looking at an epiphone eb3 but dont know if theyre actually good quality.

thank u

how to do this sort of scream

probably isnt the right sub for this but idk where to post this really

i really want to scream like this (examples below) but im really scared of damaging my voice. ive literally never screamed before. my voice is very soft and quiet naturally and thats how i normally sing

also i get that none of these people have any proper technique

heavy vegetable effects

what effects pedals do hv use?

heres a photo of robs board from 1995. its very grainy obviously lol

i think i see a ibanez slam punk in there maybe. at the bottom. thats the only thing i can really decipher. it might be a tuner as travis' looks the same and is most definitely a tuner

tone examples:

https://youtu.be/A0nxAWwzCI4?is=sYXr0GnUDnwFruLG

https://youtu.be/qxkvtR9tHYI?is=U1XH2mMMVYFsppCM (at the end it changes distortion sound)

wah pedal where you set the speed and it constantly sweeps

kind of like a flanger or phaser. like a wah where you turn a knob for the speed and then it constantly sweeps the mids (or whatever a wah does) to that rate

floral green delay/noise sound

how do i get that really cool sound that's heard throughout floral green. i imagine it's a delay pedal of some sort but I could be wrong

for example on the intro to lefty

darkest loveless pressing

i love loveless so much but my main problem with it (as well as most mbv stuff) is how thin and harsh it sounds. i usually turn leave the treble at noon or turn it up a little on my record player's amp, and turn the bass almost all the way up. it still sounds really thin, especially on 'what you want', which is my favourite

so what pressing has the most thick, dark, bassy sound?

thankyou

how to get vocals similar to duster

for the record, i already sound a bit like clay. like my voice is kind of breathy and quiet when i sing, and i have a similar range.

im more curious about how i should compress vocals, how close I should sing to the mic, how i should eq it, should i add like a little bit or distortion?, etc etc.

and im aware that all of this just came from recording onto 4 track tape machines. i mean how could i replicate it in a modern setting on like a daw

also especially his vocals on the mood, moon in aries, and echo bravo

thank u

dark pedal platform amp

ive posted on here recently twice basically just asking stuff, but i really need a general consensus on what amps would be good for me. unlike my other posts, im looking for something that i could get now. so not too loud, and under £1000 preferably.

i want something clean (or that can go to edge of breakup maybe), somewhat quiet, takes pedals well, can be used live and at home and in a studio setting. most importantly at home + studio.

my amp settings are treble and prescence 4, mids 7, bass 9 - this is in general and obviously switches a bit per amp. i play shoegazey type stuff, and often switch between a drive tone which is an overdrive -> a big muff style fuzz, and a clean tone taht might have a bit of reverb or delay or chorus. i play a j mascis jazzmaster on the bridge pickup (so p90 bridge).

two guitar tones i really like are these:

https://youtu.be/fGzr8SSSTfU?is=IUanCe4kbIWLm-73

https://youtu.be/Zh2bifqymJg?is=RHX9YZLGjsIaXaBx

so basically i just need some recommendations on amps i might like

thanks

starflyer 59 tone

does anyone know how to get a tone like starflyer 59 on silver. or like exactly what he used?

from what i know it was some sort of gibson les paul style guitar, maybe a fender jazzmaster. then a dod chorus pedal, and some sort of vox drive pedal, and like a tremolo pedal or something. also a lot of stuff from a roland jc amp (i think a jc 120)

i think theres some photos in the silver cd booklet but nothing is really that clear

thanks

best strings for me

i dont really have that much experience with bass. i know how to play it and im pretty good, and i know the sort of sound i want i just haven't really gotten round to actually making sound the way i want it to. ive been playing on borrowed equipment until very recently.

basically i just want my bass to feel and sound good

i ideally want a very mids focused tone, with a lot of bass too, and not much treble. idk how much strings affect tone on bass, like if they change it more or less than on guitar.

i play clean mixed with heavily distorted parts (using a bass big muff). i normally play in drop c# but sometimes go down to drop B or up to E standard (and tunings between those).

one thing i dont like is how metallic my clean tone is. i got my strings changed pretty recently but even after playing a lot the metallic quality has died down a bit, but not enough. should i get flats?

also i play a short scale for the record

so yeah basically im just kind of what rounds or flats? what gauge? etc etc

sorry if this was confusing in any way

thanks

st Livingston (heavy vegetable)

https://youtu.be/ycSJzHG0ROk?is=cJJZZtT-rUf1FJm5

in the mondo aqua kitty booklet it mentions something about terrin from boilermaker singing on a record. i know hes on aqua kitty but is he also on this (at least to other peoples ears)? it doesn't sound like elea singing with rob and it would make sense for him to be singing on it
