  1. I've done it. It can be really fun - just be careful not to get too complex, unless you're going for a Primus type effect!
  2. 2012 definitely seems to be the year of bands coming back, so far.
  3. Personally I think that that clip with clear sound is utterly brilliant. I can't stand pointless slap bass, but to me it seems clear that he's using it there to build tension.
  4. We do it all the time - the key, as has been mentioned, is to ensure no movement inside the box.
  5. I've got one drummer that I really click with and one guitarist - sadly they're in different bands!
  6. [quote name='Horizontalste' timestamp='1325525554' post='1483974'] No Doubts cover of It's My Life, great fun. [/quote] Not easy at all, but Today by Talk Talk has one of the best basslines ever - and the bass to Living In Another World always gets me. Paul Webb: Genius.
  7. Cannonball by The Breeders is great fun - also Hey by The Pixies, Kim Deal has some great simple basslines.
  8. The bass is always the highlight of any Tool album.
  9. The Pot and AEnima are both well worth checking out, too. The TOOL Twitter account says there's been some activity in their camp lately, so we should hear something soonish, I hope!
  10. The drummer left the band I was in, and I followed shortly after. I had no click with the new guy and it's just no fun playing bass if you don't have that. Since formed a new band with the old drummer!
  11. To be fair, we've got both the Vintage Modified and the Affinity series in store and they both play really well. Up with Squier!
  12. How about this chap? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sptkTmF8Jgk[/media]
  13. I really like the Hybrids, myself - won't play without 'em.
  14. If only I could afford two or three rigs to try this out - I love that tone!
  15. I had an audition once where one of the singers turned up late and utterly hammered. Mildly shambolic! On the other hand, I had learned the wrong Beatles song...
  16. Not me, but a friend of mine did a slide from 1 to 12 on the low E and took all the skin off his finger. On the first song.
  17. The live version of Something's Missing from the Try! Album/EP has an amazing bassline from Pino. Really makes that song for me.
  18. I think this thread should just be titled "Slade (Are Cool)".
  19. Aaaaaaaallll about the feel with this track. Gotta love it!
  20. I've almost always been in more than one band at a time. You just have to ensure that certain nights belong to certain bands and that way nobody gets bent out of shape - a Google Calender comes in pretty handy!
  21. We've had a little chat about it here and we think two things: Firstly, slapping is the harder technique, and secondly, that the discipline required is to not slap all the time.
  22. Probably Walk This Way or Sweet Emotion, two Aerosmith basslines learned for a covers band that sound pretty decent!
