xilddx Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I have come to the conclusion that judicious use of playing the root / octave on the bass is the sexiest sound in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I must investigate, I was unaware there were other notes apart from the 'root' one could play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I have recently been playing Who Are You by The Who. Some good use of Root/Octave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalpy Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Root/ Octave is a secret amongst this sect of musicians known as bassists.

4 Strings Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) From 3.25 on... [media]http://youtu.be/PkxaunLybuM[/media] Actually this is different to the album track, seems to be a different bass recording, album version a much better example, really hard to do this well Edited July 5, 2012 by 4 Strings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamPodmore Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I use this in one of my bands original songs, we've got a recording of it from about a year and a half ago which is sh*te and you can't hear the bass, but it makes up part of probably the best bassline i've ever written.
