bazzbass Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 tell the guitarists to listen to some ACDC for examples of the bass not following the guitarist. Advise them that they are actually following YOU most of the time, as the time keeper of the band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpondonBassed Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 [quote name='thebrig' timestamp='1468876673' post='3094032'] I know this is one of the simpler bass lines out there, but can anyone tell me how it really goes? I hear it staying on bottom EE D E (octave) when the chords shift to A, and after watching Paul Wolfe's tutorial on his How To Play Bass channel, and one or two other versions on YouTube, they seem to confirm this, but when we played it for the first time tonight at rehearsal, everyone to a man said I was playing it wrong, BTW, I'm quite happy to shift to A if that's what they want. So how do you guys play it? [/quote] PaulWarning's tip might help here. Play a clean recording of the track at a higher speed without pitch correction and the bass will stand out a bit more. If it works all you need do is play it back for the band like that and it should save a lot of unnecessary discussion. They have you there to play bass, it's your call.

SpondonBassed Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 [quote name='jaccjazz' timestamp='1500169290' post='3336048'] Don't argue with this guy: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtIgfHAY08M"]https://www.youtube....h?v=gtIgfHAY08M[/url] [/quote] Mr Isslamow doesn't always get it right either but like JaccJazz suggests, I ain't about to start an argument with him. Heeheehee. Is Constantine a member of BC? He has a lot of clips out there. I remember him from the time I was looking for clips of my Steiny being played before I put my money down. He seems to have unlimited access to basses of all sorts. I think of him as being in music sales and noodling to the cam during quiet periods at the shop. If I could be ar5ed, I'd follow up. Sorry, slight derailment. As you were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpondonBassed Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) [quote name='thebrig' timestamp='1468917601' post='3094226'] I will probably end up changing along with the key if thats what they want, anything to keep the guitarists happy. [/quote] I'm sorry to say but that sounds lame. You might as well put an sub-octave pedal on the guitarist's feed, step on it and walk out!

jazzyvee Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) Take a listen to Herbie Hancock's version on his Possibilities album, the bass is nice and sprightly but grooving nicely.

The making of the album DVD looks interesting as well. I think I will try and get hold of the Blue Ray version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
