Small Faces Guitar & Bass Sounds. I've been listening to Ogden's Nut Gone Flake a lot recently & I wanna get some of those sounds. Does anyone know what equipment they used on this album? I'm mainly interested in getting the Fuzz at the end of 'Rene the Docker's Delight'. Check the youtube clip if you don't know the song:

Also, I'd love to try to get Ronnie Lane's Bass tone on the title track. Can't find a clip of it but I think he uses the same sound on 'Song Of A Baker'. Annoyingly, his Amp is hidden throughout the whole song (I think they're playing to a backing track anyway).

I managed to nail their tape-phasing sound with some tricksy use of an old 4 track cassete-tape recorder.

Probably ol' Marshall amps, that what they used live at the time.
I believe Andrew Loog Oldham scored them some marshall gear when he signed them to his Immediate records label, so perhaps it's also a marshall supa fuzz being used!?

Just realized I have those songs on my computer, from The Darlings Of Wapping Wharf Launderette set. Good stuff! Sounds very overdriven, just on the verge of feedback.
At some point, I believe Lane used a semi-hollowbody Harmony bass with the triangular white pickguard. Tobacco sunburst. It was a single DeArmond "gold-tone" pickup model, if i remember correctly.
Not sure if that was during this period...

Yup, he still used that bass during 1968. 8)

Yeah. I suppose the key to that Bass tone must be the big ol' hollowbody.
