    Is this 'performance piece' to be played solo, or with a backing track..? Unknown to me, and quite respectable in the RATM context, upon listening it through it didn't strike me as a great piece for solo bass. I could be wrong (it happened before, in 1957, I think...), but could you reassure me that this is, in fact, the type of number they're expecting from you for the audition..? :scratch_one-s_head:

    With a backing track. The main reason I picked it is because RATM is something I'm comfortable playing, ENJOY playing but were also instrumental in being one of the reasons & driving forces in me learning bass at all. :)

    I applied for the Music degree with Bass at ACM and I've had confirmation that I've got an audition in a couple of weeks! EEEEK. It's the day after my birthday as well so no drinking for me lol!

    I've decided to do Bombtrack by Rage against the machine as my performance piece, but I need to revise my theory as there's other bits I have to do to show my understanding of theory, groove, timing etc.

    OH GOD.

    Not an easy run from Cannock with a 5 string in one hand and a cab strapped to your back. Unless @Sarah5string is ex SAS...

    No but I am a runner... anything is possible lol

    'Fox on the run' synth with a Boss Bass synth SYB5?

    in Effects

    Posted

    I'm a bit of a synth newbie, but our covers band are doing 'Fox on the run' by sweet. Is there any way of getting something reasonably like that initial synth intro using a Boss SYB5? I also have an OC3 octave and EHX bass clone. Typically I don't have an expression pedal but I do have a volume and wah.

     

    any ideas?

    Backing vocals.... oh no..

    in Theory and Technique

    Posted · Edited by Sarah5string

    So the covers band I'm involved with want backing vocals. The singer is female, as am I, so me doing back makes sense.

    But I'm a total newbie when it comes to backing vocals. I know that any backing with generally be the harmony on the 3rd or ideally the 5th because it doesn't change to major/minor... but how do you actually learn HOW to  play and sing at the same time??

    @Sarah5string you've just made my day! 

    It's not 'cos you're using a beatbuddy mini for practicing, but rather because I've often wondered who the BC'er was who started this fantastic and enduring thread, which you'd not been on for a long while: What are you listening to right now? - General Discussion - Basschat

    And also 'cos Cannock is up the road from where I grew up 😊

    Haha, it's a small world. Someone recognised me/hunted me down over on facebook and Scott's bass lessons and told me that thread was still going 13 years later!! crazy..
