Wow I love that. That’s some cool sound you guys produce. Downloaded all of the tracks from the homepage now, I dig it Supporting electronic and post-rock music is one of my goal actually, but probably also one of the toughest styles?
I did a (horribly long) one with my last pedalboard, less synth sound oriented -
I guess it depends on what kind of “tough” you mean. Technically, I think the bass role in that music is usually pretty simple (unless you throw in overcomplicated tapping bulls**t like me ). The harmony isn’t too dense, and the rhythm is pretty predictable if you’re familiar with how 16th notes get syncopated in electronic music (which isn’t easy if you’re not already a 16th note killer!).
So the challenge is more about getting the right sounds and textures and stuff, at least for me.
Hell yeah!! Man, wish I was visiting out there, I’d come see you play live in a heartbeat. Another day, another time.
Your videos on your personal channel are the best with some of those 16th note lessons - I have to slow them down a bunch, and still not even close to nailing it, but they’re fun to learn! The tapping technique is another one I like, and want to delve into more. I’m just not into slap at all, like a lot of bass players seem to be. But tap is fun. More like quarter notes for me though
I can’t even play bass yet, yet I want some of those the bitcrush and the one starting at 25 minute mark is totally my jam. I guess it would just be fun to play around with alone and get some cool sounds out of it.
I didn’t get that at all. I thought your solo fit in quite well with what you guys were playing. There is a definite jazz element your solo fit right into.
There’s no place for bagpipes in music. However, as I’m in the land of Iain Anderson I won’t give up on getting him involved, but if that fails my sister in law is a professional flautist… I don’t know if she can play standing on one leg or can grow a beard.
Ha, thanks Eric. Just self-deprecating humor, I actually like that solo and do think it fits the music well. There’s one other tapping spot in the show too.
I aim not to use any slappy tappy technique crap unless it really feels called for, which is great… until I actually decide to use it, and my chops are rusty.
