[QUOTE=Rattlehead]i think the low throbbing bass and the distortion mentioned in my first quote all come from the fuzzy and grinding guitar, bassed up with pronouncing drum. there's "bass", and then there's the sound of a bass string. i don't hear the latter.[/QUOTE]

I been debating that myself actually. I think it sounds good that way whatever it is gives the album a unique feel.

absolutely i love the sound on it, it owns. really quite unuique sound, it wouldn't be the same with proper bass

You're an idiot Rattlehead. Vashts is right, as usual.

Can't we just agree that some of us can hear the bass when others can't? :p

and that makes me an idiot...:rolleyes: i just can't hear the fookin' bass, allright?

it's a deal. well it better be, before i get called something worse for having an opinion ^o).

[url]http://www.jasonizer.com/justice.html[/url] If you have ever thought of what the songs would sound like with bass click on this link. A bass player named Lorike has redone the basslines and mixed them into the original score and it sounds great.

asides from that Iam a bass player and have being playing for 6 years and I've listened to this album over and over and yes in certain songs there are faint sounds of the bass. The only song where its near enough audioable is To Live Is To Die. Fast forward the song up to the 2nd solo around 5:30, You can quite easily hear the bass.

Yeah I've seen that site before. It's pretty neat.

I don't quite understand though, i hear that exact frequency in almost every part of the album. If you can notice that part why not other bass parts on the album its quite clear to me though a little drowned out :confused:

Its because the guitars are playing clean with high notes so its easier to pick up. Its harder to pick up when James is playing with distortion because

1: Jason plays tightly to James Rhythm
2. EQ on bass is very low

Its not just this song I can definetly hear faints sounds of bass on every song. But songs like One and DLITD where they are playing cleanly its alot easier & blatent to pick up. Trust me just listen!!!

Sometimes I have a hard time hearing bass. But once you get some EXP with playing bass it becomes easier to hear it all. I had a really hard time hearing the bass on A7X's City of Evil But now it jumps out and nails me everytime.


It is kinda hard to hear the bass when James uses distortion...but that's just the nature of Distortion and Bass EQ'ing

Wouldn't it be sweet if Metallica remastered AJFA?

[QUOTE=Lesbian_Seagull]Wouldn't it be sweet if Metallica remastered AJFA?[/QUOTE]
yea,if they remastered it we might be able to hear the basslines!

[QUOTE=Sph]Yeah, Rasmussen produced AJFA.
[/QUOTE]

Lars and James did the cd themselves, they realised how crap it was sounding, so they got Rasmussen in.

hahahaha,i wonder why they didnt keep him?

[QUOTE=willis2441]yea,if they remastered it we might be able to hear the basslines![/QUOTE]

:lol: I believe that's the point he was tryin' to make.

[QUOTE=Dave]Lars and James did the cd themselves, they realised how crap it was sounding, so they got Rasmussen in.[/QUOTE]

He didn't fix it though. :confused:

[QUOTE=PepsiMetal]He didn't fix it though. :confused:[/QUOTE]

Just imagine how bad it would of been without him.

I shudder to think

yea yea, nice remastering there. i agree entirely:thumb:

finally an agreement! lol

[QUOTE=Lesbian_Seagull]Wouldn't it be sweet if Metallica remastered AJFA?[/QUOTE]
yeah, but the orig is definately unique sounding. i love that.

[QUOTE=Dave]Lars and James did the cd themselves, they realised how crap it was sounding, so they got Rasmussen in.[/QUOTE]
...Rasmussen?

Rattelhead, where the hell is your Testament thread ? I was looking for it yesterday and I didn't find it, therefore couldn't bump it for you :p Still didn't find something to bump it with though...

unlucky... aparently all of the T threads go slow...:(... but there are loads of threads that ive never seen before on any of the pages, and they just pop up with like thousands of posts. so it can't be gone for good..... right?

Must have skipped it then...I'll look for it again :p

For sure its not gone for real...I would think

cool, cheers for the effort, man. whats your name?

[QUOTE=Rattlehead]...Rasmussen?[/QUOTE]

He was their producer for all their earlier albums. Not sure if he did KEA though.

Haha has anyone read Lars Ulrich's writeup in the current drummer poll? It pretty much tells about how he's old, short, and how he sucks. It's pretty funny.

[QUOTE=Rattlehead]cool, cheers for the effort, man. whats your name?[/QUOTE]

James. But call me Jammie :p

Whats yours ?

What's so funny about it? It's true.

Yeah Lars is'ent anything special on drums if anything he's very overated.

[QUOTE=Aw3someman]What's so funny about it? It's true.[/QUOTE]

Yup nothing funny about it. He's short, he's nothing great, and whatever else was in there was true also.

Are ya'll kidding me? AJFA remaster? that's completely unnecessary and pointless. as far as good sound go's AJFA and MOP are their best two albums. If anything needs re-mastering it's KEA and RTL and to Re-master them they just wouldn't be the same. It's like taking a old movie that's in black and white and making it into color...it would be gay
