Rayman Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 That'd be great, however, she told me recently that they had no plans to come here, as much as they'd like to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proof that it works in a duo is in the band Death From Above 1969. Good stuff that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I much prefer the Rick tone.[/quote] agree on that- the live clip of them covering Rush's Limelight is pretty awful- the tuning sounds out and flubbed notes aplenty. her playing on the Rick is great, but not so sure about her voice- she sounds just like the singer of Fiery furnaces- [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERSf4aAcimo"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERSf4aAcimo[/url] and it sounds a bit weak over the heavy instruments.

Buzz Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I concur with the comments on the 12 string, either youtube is robbing it (probably half the reason) otherwise it just sounds like mush to me. I'll put it down to the distortion, as it sounds alright clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weird War Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Never heard of them before either... sounds like Undertow-era Tool to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJA Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 (edited) [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0oZ8PQNC00"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0oZ8PQNC00[/url] funny how the bit at 6.11 where she shows the same riff on the 4 and 12 actually shows the 4 to sound so much better- definition and grind. I think the fundamentals of the octave strings mask the harmonics of the regular strings, and adding distortion just muddies it up further. Doug Pinnick used a crossover to split the highs to go through guitar amps for distortion, and John Paul Jones had stereo outputs on his doubled-string Manson basses, sending the bridge pickup through distortion, so i think the signal on doubled/tripled-stringers needs extra separation, esp. when using distortion.
