Hi Aragorn, do you know of any full albums that play the kind of music, they have been playing lately. Like today and the NOvember 19th video.Quote:

My understanding is that they would be complete backing tracks ─ so, no lead instruments or vocals. :noidea:Quote:

For the bass fans... ;)
Here is a question for you Aragorn: Why do bass players hold their guitars differently? :)Quote:

Bass guitars have a much longer scale length, wider string spacing and higher action ─ i.e. the distance between the frets and the strings ─ than a regular guitar, and they have a different string tension feel. Therefore, the pickup placement as well as where you pick or pluck the strings are closer to where the bridge is mounted than on a regular guitar.Quote:

The closer to the neck you pick or pluck, the floppier the strings will be, and the darker the tone. So you hold and play it differently. It's a matter of both ergonomics and sound. :noidea:
No, they don't. It's Nathan and Lee from the Andertons bass division. The guitar videos are usually presented by Lee Anderton ─ a different Lee, and the store owner ─ and Peter "Danish Pete" Honoré, or by Lee Anderton and Rob Chapman ─ who doesn't work at Andertons ─ or else by Rabea Massaad and Peter Honoré.Quote:

Rabea Massaad works at Andertons and at Chapman Guitars, and he was until recently the lead guitarist of Dörje, Rob Chapman's progressive metal band ─ Rob has discontinued the band now in order to focus on newer projects. Rabea also does some session work on the side ─ usually metal stuff.
I own a Rumble 350 watt head. I love it. My friend has an Ampeg in his studio and I never liked it. Brought my own amp after two sessions. Ampeg uses a tone stack that emphasizes mid-range frequencies that really punch through a mix and that punch is hard or impossible to overcome. I prefer an old school Motown/Studio tone for my bass and Fender provides that. For a hard rocking band, Ampeg is a great bass amp.
