This guy does a good rundown of how to get there (with modelling though): How I get my Chris Squire bass sound
Indeed he proudly proclaimed to be the 'inventor' of the thumb-mute with a hard attack.
Add in a proper dual amp setup with overdrive, chorus and tremolo on the treble channel into a guitar amp, and you get fairly close really.
Have experimented with a non-dual amp setup using different signal splitters to separate into two channels. It gets messy, costly, requires a euro pallet sized pedalboard and several kilometers of patch cable.
Fun though!
No, that was a jazz bass. Should bring that avatar back, feels naked without it.
Tried a couple of ricks through the years and could never get used to the neck to be honest. Unfortunately, because they sound great
Very pleased to see more Blitz tickets for sale.
Will be going monday and friday. Had I not been a relatively new father it would have been monday -through- friday. Awesome choice of venue considering their early history. I think it must be close to two years now since I saw our boys. Definitely looking forward to this.
Also those of you who did not ‘get’ the Dead (yet): No worries, this just means you have alot to look forward to.
Once in a while you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.
Rather non typical crowd for a Motorpsycho gig at Månelandingen there. Coupled with the NRK production it feels like an episode of Allsang på Grensen from a parallel universe.
Have to admit, I love seeing a negative review once in a while.
Not because I agree with the reviewer (I haven't even heard the record yet), but it seems no matter what the band releases, the reviewers are falling over themselves praising them.
Breath of fresh air I guess.
Agreed, Punj!
More frustratingly, I received a notification in my Posten (norwegian mail) app monday 15.03 that a package from Rune Grammofon is on the way. Standard procedure when prepaying for shipping before the package is handed to Posten.
So now I have this phantom package in my app. Strangely, frantically refreshing the app does nothing to bring the package home sooner.
It's just an itch beneath the skin..
@bartok: I think you are spot on with your «product of youth» comment.
Reading the reviews makes me more excited for this release than I have been since 2010.
For any other band the proggy phase since Eggplant would be an entire career, and a good one at that. But I can't shake the feeling that something has been missing, feels like its time to move forward. Or back. To the future. Or something.
And I say that as a prog lover who always used to wish Motorpsycho would tackle longer, complex works with wild time signatures and that '70s Crimson/Yes vibe. Stick it even more to the man, so to say.
These days I find myself missing the accessibility, the melodies and maybe especially the raw emotion that used to permeate their music 'back in the days'.
Anyway, I'm rambling. Can't wait to hear what they have cooked up for us!
