Seeking expert advice

Post by The Mad Owl »

So, I have a Bowie tribute band.

We are booking a Station to Station album show.

I'm the noisemaker in the band.

My question is:

The train sound that opens Station to Station, any ideas on what kind of pedals with a guitar can approximate it?

I'm open to drone machines as well.

Damn that's tight.

Yesterday I got asked to play bass in a Bowie tribute band.

I'm so excited!

I have an analog delay that I self-oscillate that I've been experimenting with.

I've also fed that into the sound on sound from my dd20 and it's pretty awesome.

I guess I'm open to anyone's wild ideas :)

If you guys do anything from the early seventies, you're in for a workout. Trevor Boulder was no slouch!!!!

Gail Ann Dorsey is also a badass.
