Don't suppose you know what tracks were what bass on Stadium Arcadium in particular? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc2009 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Particularly on Charlie and Warlocks, it really sounds like Flea is attacking the strings and playing really hard, digging in, if you will. Anyone know if he is, or if his tone is just set up amazingly and he's actually playing it very soflty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartelby Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 (edited) [quote name='hairyhaw' timestamp='1316375858' post='1377226'] Should also add I also always associate StingRays with Ned's Atomic Dustbin - the low parts tackled by a Ray, the high parts by a Rick. The ultimate bass players band in a way.

Cosmo Valdemar Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1316369237' post='1377051'] I wonder why he rarely ( if ever?) uses a Wal or Alembic for live shows? [/quote] Of the Alembic, he said he 'wouldn't be caught dead' playing it live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
