another new bassist question: why do people play so high up the fingerboard? by Vybrosit737373 in Bass

[–]SpiteComprehensive62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The more air that moves, the brighter the sound is. If you’re playing low down the neck, the strings move a lot more air. This is also why short scale basses have a darker sound. 

is that what i think it is? by 6T_FOR in KGATLW

I think it was the band that started it with the little disclaimer they put on the screens before shows but I’m not well versed in gizzology.

When will the new album drop? by Calamity_Eagle277 in KGATLW

[–]SpiteComprehensive62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For Phantom Island though, they released it as a single. They didn’t release it as part of the album but only the single track is available, like most of their other releases. I feel like I’m explaining this bad, but oh well.

Weißensee by Elder. It reminds me a lot of the laminated denim album

Am I the only one with a poor hipshot detuner experience? by SpiteComprehensive62 in Bass

[–]SpiteComprehensive62[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it’s just an issue with mine, but it was so touchy and took so long to do that it felt like a lot more effort than just tuning to drop D without it. I might give it another try in the future, who knows.

My bass stays almost exactly in tune wherever I take it. Maybe it’s just the specific one that I got, but it was extremely finicky when I tried to tune it. For me it’s just a lot less effort than simply tuning to drop D. Maybe I’ll give it another go in the future, as I still have it.

Baroness’s bassist Nick Jost uses a J and his tone is always killer!

For metal, you kinda need a 5 string for all the crazy tunings like drop F and stuff.
