Ben Shepherd of Soundgarden appreciation

[ZenBasses]

Been listening to a lot of Soundgarden and find the bass lines immensely fun to play if fairly simple

Pretty Noose has a great thumping bass line

Was playing Outshined last night on Rocksmith, great fun to play.

Give Rusty Cage a go, loads of fun to play.

Agreed, agreed, agreed.
Great band, proper bassist. Tons and tons of great songs.
Burden In My Hand is one of my favourite songs of all time.

Saw them on the Down on the Upside tour and spent the whole gig on his side of the stage watching him play. Great bassist.

Hurrah I am glad there is a bit of appreciation on BC though I was surprised to see him playing a hofner style bass(it might well be a hofner but I am not that good at bass identification)

An underrated player... Proving that you don't have to twiddly..

Reminds me also of Jeff Ament of Pearl Jam

Just bloody good at what they do

And yes Rusty Cage is super also

I'm a big fan of Soundgarden and Ben Shepherd. But I totally hate how he sounds live.
It always justs sounds like a dull indistinct thump.

Definately, both excellent at laying down a groove without showing off.

Thanks for the link - what's an ipb file and what do I need to read it?

Edit: ok it's just a pdf that needs renaming. Got it!
