I love the DTFs and have them on several basses, including their short scale thru-body set for the MIA thru-body only Fender Mustang. They are slightly thinner gauge but sound great and are easy to play. They fit perfectly on my Schecter Banshee.
What mic do you use? I use a Sennheiser e609. It was designed to sit flush to the grill cloth. Can be used without a mic stand. I’d have bought the newer e906, but it wasn’t out yet. They come with a mic holder for purists, but I just run the cable under the handle and hang the mic.
Nice cover of a great song Jerry…I thought the tone was very upright like (the EBS probably contributed to this)…only downside for me was the tone balance seemed a bit light on the low end for upright style (if thats what you were going for)
Wow! Gotta say that was my favorite “Andrea Plays Bass” cover that you’ve done (and I think I’ve seen a few dozen). Great song choice…that rocked! #Foo Fighters Friday!
Thank you John. It took a lot of time to get the tab correct. I seperated the bass in Moises to listen to and make sure I was playing it as well as possible. And there are a few cheeky little octave dabs in there too, which add to the whole fun experience and sound.
I really enjoyed this one myself, and by the time I finished it, I loved the song even more!
It looks really nice for guitar with the options for how pronounced the 4-5 khz peak is! Definitely looks like they’re aiming squarely at guitar range though
And yet I find, and yet I find… repeating in my head… if I can’t be my own, I’d feel better dead
Not much to say for this one, just matches the brooding vibe lately. Mix kinda sucks here, it sounds like I keep getting buried in the kick drum at certain points but alas…
Yep, so much of Oasis is influenced by The Beatles
Or just tune the bloody guitar and make sure it’s intonated correctly
Chipmunks are go!!
I often practice songs in an alternate key for the band to help the singer. You can shift key in Moises, but the results are sometimes quite funny
Thank you, Jerry!!
We’ve decamped for the week - school hols, daughter bored, change of scene (me still working though) - but the house we are staying in is rather small, so practice has had to be outside!
Cool song, @g13dip, and well played!! I think the tone sounded cool!!
Love it, @JohnF! I’m sitting outside on a patio at the moment catching up on these covers and this song sounds so good!
Play what makes you happy, @JerryP! That’s a great bass line and well played! I like the tone, but (and it’s a minor but), I assume the original would have been played on an upright, so more muffled? I’ve struggled with this at times, trying to emulate the tone on these very old songs. Foam under the bridge and rolling off the highs can help.
They have plenty of songs in their back catalogue . Well played Andrea!!
Well played, @BassyBunch. One thing you could do is add a little dirt to the bass. This often allows it to sit better in the mix.
Well played, @MattyD! Sounds surprising good for a lo-fi recording!
Very good!! One you get going, just needs a punk-inspired drum track, crashing cymbals and heavily distorted guitar, and you’d be in my good graces (see what I did there! )
)
. Well played Andrea!!
