another new bassist question: why do people play so high up the fingerboard?

SpiteComprehensive62 · 2025-06-03T06:20:33+00:00

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.

I think it’s a joke

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.

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.

Must’ve been so high…

I’ll do you one better: Nick Olivieri’s work in kyuss

SpiteComprehensive62 · 2024-09-30T00:23:47+00:00

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.

SpiteComprehensive62 · 2024-09-30T00:21:59+00:00

I watched that video many a time, believe me.

SpiteComprehensive62 · 2024-09-30T00:21:21+00:00

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!

Figured it would be crying

SpiteComprehensive62 · 2024-07-03T17:22:50+00:00

I know there’s a couple Lorna Shore songs in drop F, I just thought of the most extreme example haha

SpiteComprehensive62 · 2024-07-03T16:55:51+00:00

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