Ok iv looked all over the net for the band Cake's bass player his name is Gabriel Nelson. I was wondering if any one knew anything about him or his rig. Or had any comments on his playing?

He's badass...

It's intricate stuff, but it never sounds like he's showing off. The mark of a good bassist.

yeah, he's a great player. i love the guitar player in that band too. he gets some awesome tones. I know the guitar player plays various hollowbodies through a silvertone 2x10

I just heard The Distance yesterday and remarked how tastefully funky the bass is. I love the tone on that song. (I think I need to steal some of their CDs from my bro who used to be a huge fan)

I once read an interview with the band where they (or perhaps just the singer/guitarist) was asked how he/they got such cool and interesting tones. His answer? quot;By using sh*tty amps.quot;

I love the bassline to I Will Survive.

That dude rocks.

When I saw them live a couple years ago, the singer/ guitarist (McCrea?) had an acoustic w/ a pickup running into a tiny amp, which appeared from afar to be a Fender practice amp, and sounded pretty solid state. The guitarist ran through a newish tweed covered Fender 410 (or 310) and a hollowbody with HB's. They sounded pretty close to the way they sound on the albums.
