Rainbass Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Hi I'm going to have a go playing bass in a folk rock band that has a line up of 2 fiddles, cello, electric guitar, accordian, bouzouki and drums, so plenty of frequencies going on in there! They have some recordings from rehearsals at [url="http://www.reverbnation.com/blackthornfolkrockband"]http://www.reverbnat...ornfolkrockband[/url] The Cellist is a very good, lyrical player, and I tend to be a bit on the busy side (there, I've come out at last and admited it!) so I will probably stick to more root/5th territory, at least to start with. Just wondered if anyone else had any experience of playing alongside a cello. They seem to go down to C, so cover a fair bit of the same range as the bass. I could take the 5 string along (and it never get's out much!) to get a bit more seperation. cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.young Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Bellowhead seem to manage OK with cello and bass , OK helicon but the same principle applies. Cello doesn't have to play bass lines! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Cello does go down to C (tuned in fifths, CGDA). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
