Figure It Out - The Amazing Bass Tone Of Royal Blood (simple bass setup, tabs & tutorial)
Published 2022-04-22
Mike Kerr creates a huge wall of sound with his bass guitar by splitting his bass signal and sending it to three separate amplifiers. Each signal can affected separately to give a massive guitar/bass combination.
In this lesson we'll work through a simple bass setup allowing you to replicate the Royal Blood sound before moving into a tutorial of the song Figure It Out.

Royal Blood absolutely blew me away! Thought me the lesson that bass players should start experimenting more and try getting out of conventional roles once in a while and experiment with effects more. Amazing lesson and video Mark!

As someone who’s just getting into playing and has been a MASSIVE fan of Royal Blood for years, I’m beyond stoked that I can get one of Mike’s guitars for a very affordable price, as my first Bass.

I saw them open for queens of the stone age and genuinely preferred them. They sound amazing, incredibly amount of sound, and super tight rythmically live.
