Lowender Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 This is in response to the Incognito track. I'm not sure if that's a key bass or a bassplayer. If it's a key bass, I give him credit for making it sound like something a bass guitar would play. If it's real bass, it's a super solid sound. So anyway...I decided to jam along with the track with a MusicMan SUB. lol And a little envelope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowender Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 lo. I guess that didn't make much sense without the attachment. Maybe this'll work. https://soundcloud.com/nelson-montana/the-way-you-love-bass-re-do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BetaFunk Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 (edited) This is also an interesting one.... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gB8-u09o02Y[/media] I read somewhere that this is played on a keyboard that used samples from Bireli Lagrene's Fretless Jazz Bass.

JTUK Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Fail........... you should have added 'metal', 'Geezer', 'Barefaced' or somesuch to get any reaction. I think it is a good use of a MM. FWIW, I was watching MJ's last tour rehearsal film and the guy used a MM to very good effect and also ran a synth bass across a few tracks. Very interesting to try and create classic synth lines on a bass...IMO I think that is a real neat little angle to explore... or go the whole hog and learn to play synth bass keys.

A good baseline is a good baseline irrespective of how it's been created. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I've had some fun this year with my 80s covers band doing the synth bass parts on Reward, Just Can't Get Enough and All Stood Still using my Status. Have to think though because I can start to drift off mid song and before you know it I've come unstuck. Next ones in the pipeline are Rip It Up (judicious use of env filter here I think) and Let's Dance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoying Twit Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) Pretty good keyboard bass on this, IMHO. However, while this guy has some mega keyboard chops, and I think he plays the bassline very well, the bass sound is too consistent, there aren't any slides or trills, etc., that I notice. But his timing and phrasing seem excellent to my inexpert ear. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZC8LGx3N76c Edited March 24, 2014 by icastle Link fixed.
