Members soliloquy Posted November 2, 2007 Members Share Posted November 2, 2007 i admit, i'm not too familiar with the full potentials of a bass guitar. i know of what bass legends, and i know what they can do. and i also know famous bands that have 'amazing bass solos' like 'u2'...but really there is nothing too amazing about them...so i always found majority of bass lines to be monotone...for some reason they rather backup the guitarist, and not the other way around... anyways, just wondering if this is a bass. it sounds like a bass that is going through a distortion pedal, and a wah pedal....but at the same time, it kinda sounds like something that can be achieved through a voice changer and done all by vox... it starts at 6:30. the song itself doesnt start until 1:00 or :59 or something... http://youtube.com/watch?v=iQ5m6fXMJD0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members willsellout Posted November 2, 2007 Members Share Posted November 2, 2007 you didnt like that? i think the band is pretty coolyeah, i always liked bass, and i know that bass guitars can do 'something' but every time i'm jamming with a bassist, he/she would rather follow me. i rather follow him and give him a lead or two..but nope...cant get a note out of him... No...the singer killed it for me. In truth you should be following the bass and drummer not the other way around. It's very difficult to tell in that video whether it's bass or not, but I only see one guitarist and the singer/bassplayer. The guitarist seems to have just his tone going on so I would assume the bassist is making the rest of the racket. I don't know what he's using though...if it was a wah you would see him working it with his foot. It could be a synth of some sort? Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bassdudeguy Posted November 2, 2007 Members Share Posted November 2, 2007 my guess goes to bass:freak: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members collinwho Posted November 2, 2007 Members Share Posted November 2, 2007 I'm guessing its the synth or its sampled. I don't see a synth player, so its probably sampled. Something very similar could be achieved with a bass going through effects, but It doesn't sound like its the bass in that clip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members WynnD Posted November 2, 2007 Members Share Posted November 2, 2007 The band is obviously playing over a recording of an orchestra. I liked the video. I'm assuming the sounds in question are the distorted vocals. I've actually recorded a demo for a Denver band whose vocalist was able to move from singing to that sound without effects and without changing volume. Not my music style, but interesting just the same. (One of my more enjoyable encounters with thrash rockers.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear a keyboard come in the last few seconds and there's no synth/keyboard player on stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Super Bass Posted November 2, 2007 Members Share Posted November 2, 2007 i also know famous bands that have 'amazing bass solos' like 'u2'... Excuse me, U2 and bass solo's??? That doesn't go in the same sentence. Their bass player even admitted that he doesn't like using the D & G strings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitargod0dmw Posted November 2, 2007 Members Share Posted November 2, 2007 sounds like a talkbox. My thought as well. It sounds a lot like his vocal sound, so it's the only thing thta makes sense. I'm thinking it's his bass going through a talkbox, but it was recorded and sampled so he didn't have to do it live, and he's getting no respect from me for that!

Members Jazz Ad Posted November 2, 2007 Members Share Posted November 2, 2007 It is indeed bass with a vocalizer. Rage is a trio, they use a lot of effects and synth they activate either with pads or pedalboards.I love this band. Awesome technicians, great showmen, good songs, what else could you want in metal ?

Members guitargod0dmw Posted November 2, 2007 Members Share Posted November 2, 2007 Reminds me of Dragonforce That's another band that I don't get. All of their songs sound exactly the same.

Members soliloquy Posted November 2, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 2, 2007 well, a bass through a wah sounds like this: (bass solo starts at 4:00. ends with a wah) but the stuff that they are using in that rage video sounds more like this:starts at :20http://youtube.com/watch?v=g50vzZzAja0 and thats all done through a voice changer or even this: so..no clue:S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members collinwho Posted November 2, 2007 Members Share Posted November 2, 2007 To me it sounds much more like an envelope filter than a wah. But again, I'm almost certain that the sound in the original video is sampled and not being played live (band playing with a backing track), just like the strings, etc. There are bits to the fills where it doesn't quite follow the guitar or the bass.
