Adam Nolly Getgood

Nolly can be seen playing this bass in the 'Periphery Bass Fishing and Tracking' video.

Nolly talks about this custom bass at 1 minute and 11 seconds into the 'Gear Rundown - Nolly of Periphery - Live Rig 2013' video.

It differs from the standard Dingwall Afterburner 6 String Bass in that it has the three pickups and a unique wedge neck.

"Based on the Combustion model, the alder body, maple neck and fretboard NG-2 takes things in an exciting new direction with the addition of the custom Darkglass Tone Capsule pre-amp, sweetspot pickup placement, carbon fiber print pickguard and racing/tuner inspired finishes." - Dingwall Guitars website.

His signature bass made by Dingwall according to his specs. The NG-2 serves as the 2-pickup model in his signature line of instruments. The NG-2 has seen multiple versions over the past few years and can be identifed as an older model by the square shapped pickups, or a newer model - identifed by the rounded pickups. The round pickup shells are custom molded shells, made by Dimgwall to allow them to look consistant with the 5, and newer 6 string pickup styles.

In this video of Periphery recording Periphery II, Nolly can be seen playing a Mayones Jabba Classic 5 string in black w/ rosewood fretboard at 12:40, and again at 13:05.

Throughout the video Nolly can be seen playing a Warwick Streamer Stage 1 5 string w/ maple fretboard and gold hardware. At 0:06 'Streamer stage 1' can be clearly read on the truss rod cover.

Based on the Combustion model, the alder body, maple neck and fretboard NG-3 takes things in an exciting new direction with the addition of the custom Darkglass Tone Capsule pre-amp, sweetspot pickup placement, carbon fiber print pickguard and racing/tuner inspired finishes.

This bass is the new 3-pickup version of the NG-2 bass. The bass comes in a 4, 5 or 6 string configuration and is used with each string set by Nolly.

IN this rig rundown, nolly states that he uses a zila custom 6x10 cab. he mainly used this cab for stage volume

Nolly talks about this pedal ("My absolute favourite boost pedal for bass") at 6 minutes and 28 seconds into the 'Gear Rundown - Nolly of Periphery - Live Rig 2013' video.

"That's a really nice little power supply, and what's great is it supplies 18 volts, which enables this compressor pedal here to work as it's supposed to" – Adam Nolly Getgood on the MXR DC Brick

Nolly uses the Cali76 as the first effect in the chain to keep the sound punchy and tight. He uses slow attack and fast release to retain the note attack and shut down fast enough to respond to the stacattos he plays. Also he says that the Cali is the only pedal compressor that sounds good with high ratios although he only uses 4:1

This item is clearly seen in the Instagram pic. Furthermore, it can be seen in his "Prayer Position" bass playthrough.

For years, Nolly has used the Darkglass B7K Ultra and B7K Ultra V2, however, more recently with the release of the new Darkglass Microtubes X and X7, Nolly has adapted these new types of distortion. Nolly can be seen with the X7 on his home studio desk while tracking the bass for Periphery 4, first recording a DI from his bass, then continuing to 're-amp' the bass through then X7.

Nolly talks about how he has had a consistant method of building his bass tone, yet he has achieved it in different ways. In the past Nolly has used the B7K and FabFilter Saturn to create his distortion tones, for Periphery 4, we'll hear the X7 - likely for the majority of the album.

In this video, Nolly can be seen demoing the Alpha Omega by Darkglass. Although this unit isnt the primary source of Nolly's bass tone, it can be heard as part of the drive sound used in 'Absolomb' by Periphery, and possibly other tracks too.

"That runs into my Fractal Audio Axe-FX II, which is just an amazing unit. With the new updates which allow what's called scene controls I've actually only got to use one preset for the whole show that we do," says Nolly, in this rig rundown, at 8:30.

In this video from Oct. '14 about Periphery's Rig Adam mentions their power amp: "... I share the other half of our power amp to power my cabinet..."

For Periphery 3, Nolly used the Fabfilter Saturn to act as the distortion stage in his bass tone. Nolly commonly builds his entire bass tone in 'the box' (DAW) and utilises EQ, compression, distortion and bass cab impulse responses to build his tone, all before moving onto making it fit into his mix.

His settings will typically be the following: Band 1 (0Hz-275Hz) - Bypass Band 2 (275Hz-20KHz) - Heavy Saturation - Mix at 80% - Feedback / Frequency at 0% - Dynamics at 50% - Drive at 75% - Tone left flat - Level at 0dB (no boost or cut)

In this video, Nolly uses the newly released Smash & Grab Compressor Plugin to mix and master live drums in a metal mix.

“Neural have absolutely nailed the sounds of my favourite pedals, amps and cabs - this plugin is the purest distillation of my perfect guitar tones, captured with 100% accuracy”

Nolly can be seen here using the trusty Sennheiser HD 650 open back headphones.

At 4:14 he explains that his signature picks that he uses are the exact same as the regular .60mm tortex picks by dunlop.

In the video provided [@ 2:02] it states: "This is my pride and joy guitar, had this for 3 years, since April 2008. This is a Blackmachine B2. It's got a really thick, hundred-year-old quilted maple top and a forty-year-old mahogany back, it's got a rosewood neck with ebony fillets and an ebony fretboard... that's one of my favourite six-strings."

This guitar can be seen on his Instagram profile. He said "This is probably the best strat I've came across"

Nolly has a signature guitar with ViK guitars called the Duality. It is available in 6 or 7 strings. Here he is in the video playing it at NAMM 2014.
