[/quote] Or perhaps, for those couple of songs, you could have some fun playing up at the dusty end? Don't think of it so much as treading on each others' toes - more playing off of each other.

mike257 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 [quote name='solo4652' timestamp='1483814503' post='3210381'] I asked him that. He said; "Because it sounds really good in isolation so I'm just assuming it'll be just as appropriate with a full band." [/quote] Fixed that quote for you. I'm sure it sounds massive in his living room, filling that broad sonic space, but it's clearly not right for a band mix. He either isn't experienced enough to grasp this without a nudge in the right direction, or he plain old doesn't give a crap. If it's the former, you can diplomatically address it and all move forward together. If it's the latter, I'd be looking for your next band!

[/quote] Well, I'm always up for a bit of artistic collaboration, but a guitarist playing through a bass amp "to thicken up the sound" while a bassist noodles melodically up the dusty end seems a bit contrary to me.

[/quote] He's an experienced band member, and played for many years in good function bands until 3 years ago. Since then he's been playing mainly acoustic sets on his own, using the bass combo to deepen his tone. I've pointed out to him that he has a bassist to do that now. He is struggling to stop being a one-man band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
