SpaceChick Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 [quote name='grumble' timestamp='1341522970' post='1720591'] It's all in your imagination, everyone knows a bass doesnt have fifteen frets. [/quote] My bad... I'll keep taking the pills Quote

pobrien_ie Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 The late great Duck Dunn also made some nice use of root / octaves towards the end of the Blues Brothers' take on Jailhouse Rock. Check it out - very tasty! Quote
Telebass Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 I use root-octave doublle stops all the time in a three-piece, to help fill up the space during guitar solos... Quote
KevB Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 If someone's resurrected this thread I'll just slip this one in as I forgot originally - about 20s in on this, simple but effective : [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBVIzjZlYRg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBVIzjZlYRg[/url] Quote
Judo Chop Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 [quote name='seashell' timestamp='1341503282' post='1720179'] There are some nice ocatves in 'Paranoid' that I am struggling to get up to speed. The band I've just joined does a cover of this so I'm gonna have to get my finger out. Literally!! (Did I mention I was in a band? I think I may have alluded to it in passing, lol ) [/quote] You can cheat in that part by using your thumb for the root and a finger for the octave, give it a try Quote
RandomBass Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 [quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1341467062' post='1719392'] I must investigate, I was unaware there were other notes apart from the 'root' one could play. [/quote] You'll be fine, both root and octave are the root. So the if we take the root of the octave, and divide that by two - play that twice, we are back at the octave. Which is also the root. Maybe I should teach bass... Geoff Quote
Conan Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 If cetera was still around I wouldn't need to post this one. Heard it on Planet Rock this morning, which reminded me...
