Marvin Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 A member of a potential new band wishes to play New Sensation by INXS. Good I thought, BUT, I've listened to it at least a dozens times and the bass is so hidden in the mix it's barely audible. I've checked the usual TAB websites, but I'm not sure how useful some of the TABs are. I haven't actually tried playing it yet. I know it's going to be hideously simple and shame on me for asking but does anyone know what the hell he's playing? Ta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mep Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Make your own bass line up. That's what I would do. If you can't hear it and there are no decent tabs who is going to know? Just don't over play it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveybass Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I played it in a covers band years ago and it just thuds the root notes in the verses..I did funk it up a touch in the chorus but nothing outrageous..that songs is all about the guitarist (s)...weirdly enough. Love the song though,Devil Inside has got more of a groove going on!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyf Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Great tune, great album. Think it's pretty simple, I believe Garry Beers drops the E to D to give that signature bottom note during the verse. Saw them ages ago on TV and he had a Hipshot on his P-bass.

Marvin Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 (edited) Thanks for the tip on the You Tube clip Jennifer, it's a lot clearer. And thanks to the you all, it's going to thumping out root notes with maybe some embellishments in the chorus. Cheers EDIT: I've just been watching/listening to a few live clips and damn they were good. Edited September 30, 2010 by Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time I heard the "Kick" album it totally blew me away. Jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagsieblue Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Bump - recently re discovered INXS - great band, for how big they were - possibly even under rated (?). Anybdy got any more dots that would make a good read? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
