I would hate to have my bass sound like that on stage ! Obviously, many other opinions are available...........

A good point, can even be changeable over time or circumstances for one player too... I have always been a very trebly roundwound strings type sounding bloke, but on a couple of bands I did I went the complete opposite, a kind of very bassy dub type tone, as it just fitted infinitely better with the music on those occasions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's the worst bass tone I've ever heard! It sounds like the speakers are broken. It goes to show that there's no such thing as the perfect tone as everyone will perceive it differently. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Band follows singer. End of story. If you can't switch gear to follow the singer when they mess up you don't belong on a stage. My mistakes are not mistakes, they are jazz notes less harmonious. Some noted player said something like: "you are never more than one fret away from a musically valid note". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ime the guys it does agree with play way too many 'jazz' notes while believing they have temporarily been reincarnated as Jimmy Hendrix. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Richie Kotzen has a ridiculously good voice for such a fantastic guitarist, it's kind of unfair... 🙁🙂 And I was really positing it for the fact that he starts the song in completely the wrong key...luckily, he caught himself before the rest of the band came in... For the record, I love Billy's bass tone, always have: it's not for me, but it works for him (especially given he's a one-guitar band kinda player)...even if he's overplaying like a maniac on this particular song... 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
