paul_c2 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I don't recognise being able to play/do two things at once as a specific talent - why not just get more people in, to play the individual instruments, like what almost all other groups do? I listened to it without watching - it was perfectly acceptable but a little bland for me. IMHO, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't get what is so great about the bass tone on this. After several people commented I went back and had a second listen through my HiFi and I still don't get it. If my bass sounded as weedy and bland as that I'd probably be selling all my gear. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Some people here really like the sound of a P-Bass with dead flats on it. That said the bass sound suits the music, which is the more important, isn't it ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I thought it was far too prominent in the mix and therefore noticeably bland - especially next to all the interesting synth sounds.

Agreed - can't make out the bottom end very well. Mind you I don't get why people rate the vulfpeck guy's bass sound either - over compressed and nasally IMO. Back to these two, I agree they're very talented but the tune does nothing at all for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
