eddiehoffmann Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Just saw it too. Fender really did a great job with these new Starcaster and Coronado basses. I'm more and more in love with my Coronado everyday. Anyone knows what pedal(s) he uses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xilddx Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Ummm, clever. But would any of you have given them much thought if you hadn't realised that was only a bassist? Would you have simply thought it was a mediocre song from a four piece band, switched your ears off and finished your New Scientist Sudoku Challenge?

To me they just sounded like a not particularly good band with a guitarist who couldn't do anything except play unison riffs with the bass player.

Beer of the Bass Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I think that after the initial "wow, there's only two of 'em" has passed, the sound they make is actually duller and less interesting to the ear than if they'd just added a guitarist! A pitch shifter is tied to precisely doubling the bass an octave up, with none of the harmonic, tonal or pitch variation that makes the sound bigger and more alive when two instruments play together. That's not to say that nobody should like the band or the song, just my feelings on their approach... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
