Colledge Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 (edited) i don't know what band it is or any info other than what i can see in the pic [url="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=4521411&id=49362431266#!/photo.php?pid=4521357&id=49362431266&fbid=406098561266"]http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=4521...id=406098561266[/url] its obviously a ric copy, ridiculously thin neck, 4 pickups, stereo out. anyone know anything about it? i'm stumped edit, also just noticed the weird cab configuration behind him, looks like either 2x15, 2x12 or 2x12, 2x10 Edited June 24, 2010 by Colledge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stylon Pilson Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 (edited) The bass player is Joey DeMaio, and the band is Manowar. The bass is, I believe, a one-off, christened "Demon II". If you look at [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yx1YDrvdVw0"]this video[/url] you will witness that he's not really a bass player at all. Edit: I hasten to add that I am not an expert on this genre of music, not in the slightest. However, I am quite adept at using Google. I started by obtaining a list of the bands playing at Sonisphere Bulgaria 2010, of which there were 8. There were only a couple of names that I didn't recognise, so I used Wikipedia and Google Image Search to obtain a visual match on the bass player. Once I had the bass player's name, it was fairly easy to find out more about the equipment that he uses. S.P.

Stylon Pilson Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 The tragic thing is that there are now people out there who think that that's what a bass should sound like. S.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassistclem Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I reckon with a bit more distortion he could cover up his bodged attempt at tapping!

Colledge Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 there are lots of people (the same kind of people who enjoy listening to Michael Angelo batio) who will see that and think, "wow he plays realy fast, he must be the best bassist in the world!"

OutToPlayJazz Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 (edited) The bass playing equivalent of Vogon poetry.

And I'm no Manowar fan, but surely there's some love for them out there..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SignsOfDelirium_bassist Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 gah, that makes me ashamed of myself for liking metal! Admittedly I've never liked Manowar, and always found the concept of fast = skill rather pathetic...but still...disgusting 'bass' playing.

kingofthestuntmen Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Some kinda 'Piccolo' Bass, tuned an octave higher..? Sure I've read of other (more credible..?) bassists playing them at various times; Stanley Clarke rings a bell... Cue more googling...
