ambient Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Nice, the the words bass solo are anathema to many on here 😊. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Dunky Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Some cooooool stuff going on there for the first wee while, but he lost me toward the end. However.....I now want an Alembic. They look like something your grandad would play, but they sound rather good for that tight fingerstyle funk, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trueno Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Makes me want to get a looper pedal and try my own ham-fisted version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] The thing is, what would I use it for? Bedroom noodling maybe. It's not anything I would want to gig with. Plus, there's a steep learning curve with loopers. I've seen guys try and use them live. If you don't have it mastered it can come off as gimmicky and corny. This guy just makes it look easy. It's not.

Trueno Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 ... that's the point of GAS, though. 1. Irrational desire for something you don't need, underpinned by the certainty it will "make you sound better" 2. Brief honeymoon period of using the thing 3. Boredom sets in, accompanied by the realisation that it doesn't "make you sound better" and the fact that it will require a certain amount of hard work 4. Chuck it on the "unloved" pile 5. Sell it on six months later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the way this stuff works. Blue [/quote] He probably would sound good on any bass, but your original point was, "I think he would have a similar tone and sound regardless of what bass he was playing, IMO", which is ridiculous - an Epiphone Rivoli with dead flats would not sound the same as the Alembic in the clip. The result would would probably still sound like the same player but the tone would be polar opposite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alembic1989 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Yup I enjoyed that. Does anyone know what effect he was using to get the guitar sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
