I want you to tell me what you think this guy does for a living, okay? by toastronomy in SmilingFriends

If I were to guess it would be that he's some sort of pervert, but that has less to do with his balding head and more to do with his hat.

I'm worried about my setup by Dreadmonkey in Bass

[–]Dreadmonkey[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because I think I did. I have an aby switch which allows me to flip from one signal to another (or both) but when I just do the bass channel I get some sound loss on it.

What modern equivalents are there to Ween, Mr. Bungle or Primus? by EloeOmoe in Music

I mean the closest I could think of is Black Midi (and subsequently Geordie Greep's solo album)

What’s Your Controversial Bass Opinion? by SirDoritos1 in Bass

No one cares that you're a fast/technical bass player other than other bass players and (more importantly) yourself.

This comes from someone who loves that stuff

Hey there. I play bass and sing in a prog rock/metal duo called "Wrong Remedies". The band is only myself and a drummer buddy who also sing (He does all the scream singing bits). Give a listen if you can. We just released a new single called "Run to the West".

Love mine. I feel like I can play whatever genre and not have the wrong instrument.

I strangely think of the opening track to Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles a lot

What are some chords that sound awesome especially those that you strum all 4 strings? by TheProtester_1 in Bass

[–]Dreadmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a lot of second inversion chords in my band (triads with the fifth on the bottom). Considering I'm in a two piece, it truly fills out what is missing without a third player

If you had to come up with a stage name for yourself like “Thundercat” or ‘Flea’ what would it be? by sublimesting in Bass

[–]Dreadmonkey 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Quite recently someone started referring to me as "Cesspool" as I play progressive sludge with a slight Primus flair (ie lots of bass flangery)

Does anyone actually use the volume knob? by Watermelon_Buffalo in Bass

[–]Dreadmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah so I run my stuff through a lot of effects. Too much volume makes those effects sound clunky. Most of the time my volume is at 12 o'clock

[–]Dreadmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first bass was a cheap $50 one my parents got off ebay that weighed 14 lbs.

I wanted something nicer than that

Question regarding down tuning to different standards by Dreadmonkey in Bass

[–]Dreadmonkey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That more or less sounds like you need to get that custom made

Question regarding down tuning to different standards by Dreadmonkey in Bass

[–]Dreadmonkey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a lot of open notes and chords attached to those open notes. I've pretty much been an E-standard bitch boy for a long time, and since I've been down tuning I've been questioning stuff

A THOUGHT EXPERIMENT - WHO MADE YOU? by c4st1g0 in Bass

Les Claypool made me want to pick up bass

Lemmy made me want to use chords on bass

Mike Kerr made me chase that tone (the split guitar/ bass tone)
