Not sure what you mean there. The Pre chorus sounds like there's a couple tricky little bits but nothing too unreasonable.
-
That's some nice equipment. That'll explain the great sound

Diamond Eyes - Deftones

I really enjoyed learning Losing My Religion by REM so thought I'd try another of their songs. What's the Frequency Kenneth was an alt rock classic from my youth. Turns out it's not as easy as I expected. It's a good one though

There's very few metal bands using a 6 string basses. Dingwall aren't just a metal brand, they're just very good at it
-
I can't imagine Jackson or Charvel making a 6 string either. Their customers are generally rock and metal players rather than jazz or gospel.
-
Very nice. That's a great bass sound, what gear are you using?
-
It doesn't really seem to fit their business model of making lots of very slightly different versions of the same models they've made for 60 years. It's a model that seems to work very well for them. If they made a 6 string it would probably only be a £6000 custom shop job

16 Psyche - Chelsea Wolfe A dark, dark song

I've used a Peavey Zephyr (2 humbucker passive 5 string 35" scale) and a couple Stingrays (single humbucker active 35" scale)

That's not cheap. I can live with ugly,I'm no oil painting myself.

I don't know. Not something I'd thought of

I'm using the heaviest 4 out of a 5 string set so they should be right.
-
I like my Mexican standard P bass but tuned down to A# it's a bit wooley on the lowest string compared to 5 strings I've used previously. The obvious difference is the 1" longer scale length. Is there a 35" scale neck I can get put on the 4 string precision?

FNM have such an amazing range of musical styles, often all in one song. I love the way they can go from heavy, distorted metal with growling straight in to almost lounge jazz with super slick vocals and it just sounds right. I really hope they manage at least one more record. I really like the last one.

Waiting Room - Fugazi

Apparently he did the string arrangements for a few songs. REM knew what they wanted it to sound like but didn't know how to get there so the producer called up John Paul Jones to get the job done right.

Don't do it. The space is what gives it that feel. I tried adding in the notes that feel like they should be there. I recorded it and played it back and it kind of works but isn't as good.
