mildmanofrock Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 (edited) That's not just distortion in the intro - there's a flanger on there too if I'm not mistaken. I got a similar thing yesterday with my EBS multidrive - band nearly pooed their pants when I switched it on. His timing from 1 minute 30 is bloody awful, mind.

alexclaber Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 (edited) But note the oft forgotten bass solo at 6'19" - usually mistaken for a guitar on the album. Alex Edited September 1, 2009 by alexclaber Quote

velvetkevorkian Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 If I was paying him a million dollars just to join my band I'd bloody well want him to be spot on every time. Quote

mildmanofrock Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 Yep - I'm being a little bit picky. That sort of riff would be a lot easier to play with a plectrum. Well, it would be for me. Great sound, like you say though. You can feel the beef. Quote

0175westwood29 Posted September 1, 2009 Author Posted September 1, 2009 (edited) so to throw my thread of topic, but just found this. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_x2LaYcZGA"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_x2LaYcZGA[/url] and this [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crw7-joPWx8&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crw7-joPWx8...feature=related[/url] the rest of the band are playing the slow part for orion, not to sure bout what james is doing? weird but kinda coll bass solo but for me not as good as rob and defiantly not cliffs! im not jason bashing! im just not a huge fan of his. andy Edited September 1, 2009 by 0175westwood29 Quote
agoulding Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 i saw a pic in bass player mag a few months ago. Im fairly sure he uses an XXL. Not sure if he used it for this, agree with one of the posts above, definately flanger and wah added to the mix Quote
