Faithless

I got to do it for this evening's rehersal, nothing special, but I'm out of time... And there are no tabs for this... I only need to know root notes - verse, pre-chorus, chorus, bridge, so on... Anyone can help? Need that sh1te fast...! Cheers, Faith.

Omg, I've wrote this to wrong forum... Sorry for that. Ped, can you put it into Effects forum? Well, Clauster, I meant, there are [i]only[/i] 3 simulations of compressors, put in XT Live, and I'm looking after using one of them... I'm not saying, they're best, simply wanna know, which is worth attention most..

So, we got three there - BOSS CS-1, MXR Dynacomp and Line6 Vetta.. Which one do ya prefer, guys? I'm looking after a bit of compression, but dunno what's really worth choosing, so, waitin' for opinions..

[quote name='budget bassist' post='233299' date='Jul 5 2008, 10:07 PM']Also i think rob trujillo has had a negative effect on metallica, i think he influenced them towards the nu metal sort of side of things, though that could have been the fact that st anger was rushed due to his alcohol problem and numerous other things, we'll see how death magnetic turns out, not good though probably.[/quote] I can agree with the beginning, but - "alcohol and numerous other things"??? WTF, bro? Rob was never known about having ANY problems with alcohol ( the one, who really did have, was James Hetfield..). The other thing- Rob didn't 'influenced' St.Anger album at all. cuz he came to them a bit too late(The very Bass was played by Bob Rock and James..)... Only DVD recording was made with Rob. So, I see a couple of nonsenses here, bro [sorry, i can't be silent, when i see word 'Tallica...]

Here's the [url="http://www.stuartzender.net/pressarchive/bass_guitar_magazine_issue_37_2008.pdf"]link[/url] to PDF version of the thing... Btw, he started using Gibson Les Paul. At least, it fits his wear.

Bass EQ gives the Sound. Fingers does the trick.

Dunno, if you already got an answer, but, for thingies like that, I'd try asking here... [url="http://www.ibanezcollectors.com/forum/index.php"]http://www.ibanezcollectors.com/forum/index.php[/url] You can see some top-delicious Ibazzy porn there, too... Cheers, Faith.

I've 'found' this technique myself, while watching Rob Trujillo playing with his Ring and Pinky fingers raised(Thumb on pickup), and couldn't understand, how, playing the stuff so fast, he doesn't ring, for eg. B string( when plucking E).. So, after a bit of practice I've figured the Thing out.. But I don't use it as my main muting technique, only in exceptive cases. When playing with two fingers, I use so-called Jaco's muting technique ( incorporate Ring and Pinky fingers..).. Three? 'Floating' thumb. But it doesn't 'float' in the air - it rests on the string/pup. Anyone's also about Jaco?

Already found that, mate..

Haven't watched the others, but the 1st one, IMO, is nothing *too* special...

Gotcha!!!!! taken from bassplayer.com ...... (Not that long he dropped us his new record, called "So Low"), sooo, gear, used there, was.... : ...[i] Basses on So Low … Solo Fender SRB 6, Aria AVB-SB 6, [b]Ibanez custom SDGR 6[/b][/i] ...

Checked out Aria's site - couldn't find a damn model, similar to this... It looks like one of those new, 20th Anniversary SR Ibbies, like Geiler has, just with a bit less Eq knobs One more, I've[url="http://stevebaileybass.com/pics/misc/bnc0509/IMG_1279.jpg"] found[/url] out there...

How should we do one? Make a sticky thread about Ibby chicks or make sorta friend-list or whatever exists here? Btw, tell me, if it's [url="http://stevebaileybass.com/pics/misc/IMG_8568.jpg"]Ibby[/url], guys...

Umm, sorry, but, shouldn't this be in General Bass Discussion or Offtopic forum?..

I'll share my impressions, when I'll try that one.

Thanks for thoughts, guys, I'll give SRX a go this or next week, I believe. And, 170 pounds is OK for used one,right? P.S. As the Rare-ones, we'd set Ibazzy owners/lovers club, shouldn't we?..

So, any thoughts about SRX's from their owners?..

So, there's an opportunity to buy second handed five-string Ibanez SRX505 for about 170 pounds. It's quite a bargain, I think (right? ).. Buuuuuut.. I got Ibanez SR1005 Prestige one, so, what's I'm interested in - is the sound of SRX's and SR's quite different or not? Cuz, the second bass I was thinking about to take 'in future', shouldn't have been very similar to the current one... The good thing about having it would be using SRX one with different tuning for my other metal band... It's said, SRX one is a bit more for rock/metal thingies, but, maybe anyone's here OK with using it for quite a different music? So, I'd like to get a few words about SRX in 'sounding' and 'universality' way. And, take some GAS ...

What 'standarts' would ya suggest to start from? We're not total beginners on our instruments, but nothing too special for now. James Brown is not our goal in funk, we simply need some standarts to get on, and go on with harder thingies time by time.. Maybe there's sorta book or somethin' with songs and etc. suggestions? Sorry, if there's already a thread for that, I'm just too tired to mess about...

[quote name='Merton' post='217408' date='Jun 12 2008, 11:39 AM']What Def Lep do you have to do? Generally you'll play three (or maybe five) notes - E A D G or C Living on a Prayer is easy, but then again I've been playing it week-in week-out for 5 years [/quote] Hmm, Lep's songs are Hysteria and Pour Some Sugar With Me.. Yeah, they're easy song's, but Bon Jovi's song, compared to whole list is a bit bigger one there, hehe. Well, we got Faith No More's - Easy (heard a few fast bass licks there) and WhiteSnake's one - those should be the most serious of all left - Korn, U2, The Rasmus, other stuff...

So, as I've already 'insulted' somewhere here not that long ago, gotta do, and do WELL, 25 songs over a week. Dunno, if it's 'hell a lot' or little, but I've spotted that there is no more time for a different type of bassin', i mean, learning some Real material, exercises and stuff, only staring at the monitor with Guitar Pro and Audioretoucher turned on, listening/checking notes, and trying to memorise the whole sh1t.. Thank God, it's only for a few days... There are some easy ones (I'm starting to 'like' Def Leppard ), and a few tougher ones - Bon Jovi's - Living on A Prayer, Whitesnake's - Too Many Tears and so on... And got to say, learning and learning and learning cover stuff day after day p1sses off a bit.. So, have ya ever faced 'time slave' thing, boys and girls? Just fancy, how good/bad my situation is compared to others... Approximately 17/25 done...

So, that's a bit old, but I wanted to share a bit about how the bass is plucked here, in Baltic states... There were mainly Russian players, but the headliner of the show, Domas Aleksa, is my compatriot, Lithuanian mate Here's his two-part show up here... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrkUepDL06o&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrkUepDL06o...feature=related[/url] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-2HHL9ZgWQ&feature=user"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-2HHL9ZgWQ&feature=user[/url] (solo) And here's the rest of the show (just turn the mouse a bit down - you'll see the whole playlist...) : [url="http://www.youtube.com/user/rigabassday"]http://www.youtube.com/user/rigabassday[/url] Enjoy!

Kind of, really Yeah, ya got that right - a show after show at the same night, on the same stage. You know, it's kinda normal thing in Lithuania, cuz players', especially, those, who are 'worth' somethin', market is quite narrow, so people are doin' different things all over different places.. No, I'm not talking like I AM worth anything serious but I got a bunch of friends working just like that.. Oh god, as I am writing this, drummer's asking to help him in sorta project - he says he 'has' really good female vocalist, and quite an experienced g*1tarist. The only thing unknown for now - what da f@ck it's gonna be... Uh, quite an 'musicalophilic' summer awaits, I think...

What do ya mean?

So, I'm back 01:30 AM with a bit hurting head but happy. After a lotta thinking, doubts and sh1te yesterday I gave a message to band's leader, aaaand, today, I got a call with invitation for me and my guitar ( oh yes..) to their nice little studio.... ...Btw, it was stated that I'll have to 'play somethin'... I thought 'holy crap, what the hell will I show???'... Believe me, Metallica's stuff is OK to listen when playing altogether, but not only-bass-parts.. So, took a piece of Dream Theater's Constant Motion - sat for about 4 hours and 'made' intro part[20 percent slower, btw...]... Finally, I didn't need it at all - guy simply checked how fast [or slow...] I do 'get' by showing a few parts of their songs, and I was pretty fast at that, so he was very happy about stuff. Then the drummer came and we played Enter Sandman and finally, a little jam and a piece of Guns'Roses - Word Up just to check how tight I'm with drums. He gave me a few notes, but was happy about tightness too. At last, we talked about thingies, like occupation, what-about-doing-next and where [university studies..], dedication. Everything ended by sausages and beer Before long, also gotta do about 25 cover songs, and start taking their original stuff, as we're having a gig on July 19th [my other band is also playin' there... ], so a loooota work waitin' out there. But I'm happy. I got to say this, Sorry, Faith P.S. check out their Myspace! - [url="http://www.myspace.com/soundinjected"]http://www.myspace.com/soundinjected[/url]
