Members Crackle Posted July 8, 2005 Members Share Posted July 8, 2005 It sounds like Roger's using delay during the beginning of the song (pretty obvious), but I'm curious about the mid-section where things quiet down (drums stop; extremely eerie sounding part). The bass seems to fade in and out, almost like a vibrato or panning effect with one channel missing. Does anyone know how this is done? It's just an incredably amazing effect.... As a reference, I've been listening to this from the Pompeii video . . the overdriven Precision Bass tone at the beginning of One Of These Days is incredible. So ominous. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members der oxenrig Posted July 8, 2005 Members Share Posted July 8, 2005 It's actually Gilmour & Waters both on bass. Waters' bass has dead strings, and comes in second. I'm glad you finally realized the power of the overdriven Precision bass, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agentcooper2001 Posted July 8, 2005 Members Share Posted July 8, 2005 isn't that a Binson Echorec machine they're using on that song? edit: I may be thinking of something else from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members degroove Posted July 8, 2005 Members Share Posted July 8, 2005 One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces! I think its an effect! Here is a link to a site called songfacts: Link IT says its an effect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bnyswonger Posted July 8, 2005 Members Share Posted July 8, 2005 You can come pretty close with a simple delay, but those tape echo units have a unique sound that IMO cannot be duplicated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jazz Ad Posted July 8, 2005 Members Share Posted July 8, 2005 Any delay will do for the main part.There's a huge tremolo pan on the bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members der oxenrig Posted July 9, 2005 Members Share Posted July 9, 2005 I never said there wasn't a delay, but there's also two basses playing!!! You can hear the second one come in a few seconds after the first one, because it's alot deader sounding!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jazz Ad Posted July 9, 2005 Members Share Posted July 9, 2005 Both basses play the same (2 !) notes.With a bit of tweaking on the delay regeneration you can easily duplicate the 2nd bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
