Well I've lowered te pickups and dropped the EQ a bit and now it's great.

Just given it it's first proper run through at practice.. it sounds stunning now so thanks to everyone for the help..

I'd have an expensive Amp. I've always had cheap basses and have always managed to get a sound I love out of them. If you've got a rubbish amp it doesn't matter how good your bass is it's going to sound rubbish.

[quote name='ARGH' post='238375' date='Jul 13 2008, 10:45 AM']Oh THAT fill....its nowhere near 3:21....hang on[/quote]
Sorry did I mean 3.31? I was going off youtube...

Oooh no not that bit. ok... so you've got the chorus....

55555555 (I'm noooooooooooooooot)
2222222222 (Sad at all)
*little run here*

[quote name='ARGH' post='238363' date='Jul 13 2008, 10:33 AM']ok..its chromatic...B,C,C sharp...

2nd fret A string to 3rd..then 4th..then back into the riff,snd fret low B...but its a f***load easier if you were on a 4 playing to they're tuning.[/quote]
Probably... but I'm awkward

[quote name='ARGH' post='238362' date='Jul 13 2008, 10:31 AM']Right sarah...I think this lot are tuned C sharp..you are in regular tuning,is it the really small climb after the 'drop-out' (as in no bass..just drums and vox)..then everything comes back in....[/quote]
Yea, where it comes back into the chorus... then it's the little run before the chorus repeats just before the backing comes in with 'You learned your leeeesssooooooooooooooooon'

[quote name='ARGH' post='238358' date='Jul 13 2008, 10:25 AM']ok...from 3:21 to when?[/quote]
It's really short... maybe a few seconds..

[quote name='ARGH' post='238356' date='Jul 13 2008, 10:23 AM']Mutters)...Fookin blind metalhead.....

Hang on.....its coming up[/quote]
Oi! Cheek... I'm not blind... the glasses correct it

Oh and in my defence I have learnt the whole song by ear so I'm not normally this rubbish.... LMAO

[quote name='ARGH' post='238352' date='Jul 13 2008, 10:21 AM']Gimme 5 mins...do you read..or are you a tab only person?[/quote]
Tab only for all my sins.... and thanks

We've just started covering this in our band... The rest of the song I've got pretty much spot on but am having trouble picking out a little bass run near the end... can anyone help?
I play a 5 string in B standard...
Here's the song.. [url="http://youtube.com/watch?v=BRs9z8UfQzY"]http://youtube.com/watch?v=BRs9z8UfQzY[/url]
The run starts at around 3.21 in.
Have tried looking at tabs but they're all awful and nowhere near accurate.
Thanks in advance... I love you guys

Our first dance at our wedding was to Coheed and Cambria's Wake up.

''I'm gonna ride this plane out of your life again
I wish that I could stay, but you argue
More than this I wish, you could've seen my face
In backseats staring out, the window

I'll do anything for you
Kill anyone for you

So leave yourself intact
'Cause I will be coming back
In a phrase to cut these lips
I love you

The morning will come
In the press of every kiss
With your head upon my chest
Where I will annoy you
With every waking breath
Until you decide to wake up

I've earned through hope and faith
On the curves around your face
That I'm the one you'll hold forever
If morning never comes for either one of us
Then this I pray to you wherever

I'll do anything for you
This story is for you
('Cause I'd do anything you want me to for you)
I'll do anything for you
Kill anyone for you

So leave yourself intact
'Cause I won't be coming back
In a phrase to cut these lips
I loved you

The morning will come
In the press of every kiss
With your head upon my chest
Where I will annoy you
With every waking breath
Until you decide to wake up

The morning will come
In the press of every kiss
With your head upon my chest
Where I will annoy you
With every waking breath
'Til you decide to wake up''


I particularly like the part about killing Funniyl enough everyone said how beautiful it was and how much it suited us. :brow:

Unless he's bought tonnes of basses/amps but never let them get filmed/photographed.. lol

Ditto

Oooooooooooooh pretty lights..

[quote name='cheddatom' post='235095' date='Jul 8 2008, 04:56 PM']If you know something "off by heart" then it's stored in your subconscious somewhere. You can start off playing, and then not "think" about what you're playing. For example, lots of people play infront of the TV, and don't actually listen to what they're playing, but still play perfectly.

To what extent this is acheivable is something i'm not aware of, and I'd say I am naturally skeptical about things like this.

Another more common example, is where someone cannot remember a bass line that they know. However, when they start playing the song, it "comes back to them" and they play it perfectly. Whether or not they're actually thinking about what they're doing......... It's pretty pointless to play without listening to yourself IMHO.

It's just i've seen the phrase "finger memory" around quite a bit, and I don't like the way people misinterpret it (if it has a real meaning?). I'm no expert.[/quote]
Hmmmmm..... interesting. See me, I can't even talk to anyone without mucking up....

[quote name='cheddatom' post='235074' date='Jul 8 2008, 04:37 PM']Being able to play something without thinking about it is not the same as your fingers being able to remember something (which just doesn't happen).[/quote]
How exactly do you not think about what you're playing though?

I always remember things with my mind?

Why don't you set up your own band and find musicians that want to be in your band?

Lowering the pickups seems to have helped... will give it a proper run through later when I get in from work. Thanks everyone sorry if I've been a bit dippy! lol

Ooooooooooooooh I see... similar to an innerpartysystem kind of thing... cool.
