Stroopy121 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 There is nothing wrong with knowing what a particular instrument is actually for.If that's a joke, then fuck you you're not funny.If that's serious, then fuck you.xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaline Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 If that's a joke, then fuck you you're not funny.If that's serious, then fuck you.xxThere's certainly a time and place to get all Victor Wooten on somebodies ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted March 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 I haven't had a chance to listen. Root notes have a time and place. But guitar players tend to just have the view that you have. Which is silly.And for that reason, I'm out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bass fill or a non-root-note-based bass riff can make a shit song sound great, or vice versa.xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaaakkkeee Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Listen to that Then Now Always track. I put a wee bit of flare everywhere I could and then slapped in a heeyowge jazzy fill in the post chorus. It's amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted March 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 This thread is about my band not your band. I'm taking my ball home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Well imagine that, a little less funky, more root notes and a shit load of overdrive. I'll be your bassist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 But seriously, if you're not looking for us to be the hardest working band in britain I'll join. I'm good at punk bass. And I can make it sound mean as fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted March 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 I was just trolling Jake with the anti-bass stuff. I like grooves, but subtle, well thought-out grooves. Not using the guitar as a lead instrument like Matt Freeman. The bass is the engine room. Keep it simple and classy. Don't pimp it out like some cheap whore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaaakkkeee Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 I can't be in this band anymore, something's came up. Sorry.And John, you know how unbasswanky I am. I throw in fills like no-one's business, but they're subtle and well suited. Think Taking Back Sunday and shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swingin' Ryan Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 The only Rancid album I like is the S/T 2000 record, which had about 100 songs on it, and they were all fast as hell, and barely over a minute long.That is a great album, particularly Rwanda. I still think 'Out Come the Wolves' is genius though, I must have listened to that album for about a solid year when I was fifteen, I even had pink and orange hair modeled on Lars. Fucking Punk as Fucking Fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaaakkkeee Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Well, perhaps you did want me on bass because I'm actually good at bass and my stage presence is matched by no man. So I thought I'd let you know I can't actually do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stroopy121 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 I saw Iggy a year or three ago at Leeds festival. The man is about a thousand years old and he could run fucking rings round me, impressive stuff. I don't care if he looks like Kate Moss' corpse and flogs car insurance now, LONG LIVE IGGY!xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
