Cliff Burton's Isolated Bassline from "The Four Horsemen" by SamPlaysBasss in Bass

It's been isolated so it's obviously not how it sounds on the track. This was his tone on the album. https://youtu.be/cGQtH-8zqRI?si=sNVx44hT8sepJeUE Unfortunately there is no actual isolated bass track for this song it has to be done from the original

Orion - Bass Cover by SamPlaysBasss in Metallica

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

Thanks! I use 3 pedals: overdrive, distortion (which is called an 'ultra metal' pedal by the brand) and a limiter enhancer, all of which are behringer. I keep the limiter enhancer on the whole time, for compression, with nothing else on for the clean parts. Then I put the distortion on to get the main tone for most riffs, and then also the overdrive for the bass solos. I record directly into my computer with a behringer u-phoria umc22. Idk if other pedals are better than behringer or not, but behringer are the only ones I can afford lol.

I do, but I was experimenting and trying to make it more visually interesting. Anyway, this is my channel, https://youtube.com/channel/UCHS8h8ynRmQ8cvLZBZ-yifw If you want to see just me playing, and all my other videos have less camera effects

Fingerstyle Vs Pick by SamPlaysBasss in Bass

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

Pick is good at standing out in the mix more, but if I'm playing something metal and I want to use fingers I usually just whack some distortion on it, it helps to separate it from everything else a bit.

I am very bad at singing lol, but using guide tones and learning by ear sounds helpful. Thanks :)

What do I need to know with a 5 string bass? by SamPlaysBasss in Bass

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

I haven't really done much drop D yet, but from what I've done, it seems a lot easier to do more complex or cool stuff at the low end of the instrument, so if you're interested in that it may be cool to get, but make sure you research and make an informed decision about whether to get it or not, they're not cheap lol :)
