I don't really like to many of those basslines that much, except for Blind which isn't bad. Even when I was a huge Korn fan, the bass was always my least favorite part of the band.

Still you can't say they are bad basslines, just that you don't like them that much. Also I forgot about Porno Creep.

Darkness 06-25-2005 10:47 AM

I said none were really that good, not that they were all bad. There's a difference.

I can't recall the bass in Porno Creep... maybe I'll give it a listen.

Moses 06-25-2005 10:52 AM

Well, I think some of them are good. Definately not great but there are bands that pay no attention to bass.

Bass_ment 06-25-2005 04:25 PM

I have the biggest hard-on for Timmy C's bass tone*

/fanboy

*cept the twangy MM Stingray sound on the s/t.

spankyoplank 06-25-2005 04:32 PM

Has anyone here seen Timmy's new Double neck jazz bass *drools*

/fanboy also.

Darkness 06-25-2005 04:38 PM

Yeah that bass is pretty cool.

Dr. Jake Destructo 06-25-2005 04:51 PM

You guys are comparing too totally different bassists. Sure, they both do some slapping, and use more effects than your every day bassist, but Fieldy isn't really utilized in the typical fashion. He's almost a percussive bassist, really, whereas Tim Bob actually provides the melody occasionally.

However, if I had to be stuck with one's tone and ability, I would take Tim Bob over Fieldy.

It looked really heavy though.

Were not really compareing, were just saying we like Timmy more, as you did.

I'd say they probably have a similar ability (I could be wrong) but Timmy's tone would take some major beating. Does anyone else find the fact that he is tuned B-E-A-D really annoying because it means us common four stringers have a basta[COLOR=Black]ard[/COLOR] of a time working out the songs?

Mambuto_O'Mally 06-26-2005 09:59 AM

Its not that bad. Tom does the same thing and it works out fine for me. Any updates on the covers yet????

Bass_ment 06-26-2005 12:28 PM

Could someone link me up to the double neck jazz bass? Haven't seen it.

By the way: My girlfriend made me the coolest gift, she gave it to me today. Its a small mirror with a large wooden frame and on the frame is written all the lyrics to Freedom (as she knew was my favourite song). Beautiful handwriting and it was just an awesome gift.
Just thought I'd mention it hehe. :D

Theres BoP with bass. Not the greatest, but good enough. Anyone think I should turn the bass up or down?

Mambuto_O'Mally 06-28-2005 08:18 AM

Well, someone needed to get this thread going again, so I thought I'll post something. But honestly, I've got nothing. Are Audioslave playing any festivals this year? If they do I bet they'd surprise a lot of people with some RATM songs.

Static 06-28-2005 11:31 AM

What do we need for BoP now? We got teh drummage and teh bassage, so we need vox and guitar. C'mon guys!

Darkness 06-28-2005 12:54 PM

I just restringed my guitar, and will most likely be pracitcing that song this week, and will have it recorded by the weekend... I leave July 5th to July 21st to go to Italy, so I'm ganna try really hard to get done before I leave...

[QUOTE=machinehead1]Evil Empire is my favourite RATM album[/QUOTE]

Seconded, then it would have to be self titled, and then battle of los angeles.

Mambuto_O'Mally 06-29-2005 09:11 AM

I saw the video of RATM playing 'Testify' on Conan O'Brien yesterday. Its sweet!!! :thumb:

Has anybody thats doing Vietnow got anything to show for it yet?? :confused:

Shaft! 06-29-2005 11:09 AM

Wow, that must have been before the SNL show. I couldn't imagine NBC letting them on any of their shows after that.
That show was sweet though. You had to get the background info on it and I thought it was awesome.

Yeah, they did the SNL show I think about 3 weeks later.

Darkness 06-29-2005 12:18 PM

Why did you get banned?

:upset: It's an addiction, it's so fun to destroy the n00b's spirits in there.

Well, I've been fine. How 'bout you?

I guess they really only banned de la Rocha because Audioslave is allowed on NBC programs.
It should have been Tim, he was the one who lit the flag on fire and threw it in Forbe's dressing room.

Pretty good. I spent the last week in Colorado, so that was fun.

How's that cover coming, fellas?

I think it was a brilliant thing for Tim to do to a presidential hopeful.
Ever wonder why he didn't win? Other than politics.
