tonyf Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Jumping on the recent "isolated bass track" threads, just found this after following the YouTube suggested links. We do this in one of my covers bands but TBH, I'd never thought it was as busy as it is. A lot of the arrangement covers just how amazing the playing is. Think I need to do a little more to my "interpretation" [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hr3HCNIgv40&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hr3HCNIgv40&feature=related[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 A bit [i]too [/i]busy if you ask me! Very much of it's time, though (1982)... thanks for posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakenewmanbass Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 whatever you think of the band the music or the bassline... He plays it very well, good solid time and I think a good feel too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB3000S Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Very well executed, a great listen down nostalgia lane - John Taylor was one reason (Jonas Hellborg the other) that I got an Aria SB as my first bass. Remember sitting in my room trying to figure this one out, oh well those were the days... Thanks for posting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lurksalot Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Cant fault that dude , 'cept your even uglier than I am . great tune well played , I got close to getting close once , but why oh why don't the band get more musical acclaim . I am sure they got gold, platinum albums etc , but they could sing and play really well , I loved em and thought live, really rocked .

Grand Wazoo Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Lets not forget Girls on Film also had a very busy bass line, here it is isolated.

Lozz196 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Great stuff. Very interesting how a not very nice bass sound (on both tracks) on its own, sounds so good once in the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gust0o Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Great stuff - as noted, it's definitely of it's vintage. Way busier than I would ever have made it, but such were the times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chardbass Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Lol. This was an audition piece I played back in '86- this and Big Money by Rush. Needless to say my repertoire was a bit limited but joking aside John Taylor taught me about ghost notes way before I knew who Jjaco was.

noelk27 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Taylor started as guitarist, although not sure that has much to do with how "busy" his lines were on the early Duran albums. In the first version of Duran, however, before Simon le Bon and Andy Taylor joined, the sound was made up of drum machine, synths, bass and vocals (although original vocalist Stephen Duffy contributed some guitar), which may have something to do with things.

JTUK Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I think it is pretty clean and precise and mixes up well, but it is the kind of track and tone that exposes everything so you really have to be right on the money with it on solo playback. This is the type of example you will find 'helpful' engrs relish playing back to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
