That bass solo in Eagle Fly Free is probabably one of the best i've ever heard great tone too.
I find it how this is a BASS forum and there aren't anymore posts I thought tb'ers would rave over this band. |
I think because this project isn't around that long.
I really got to buy some new CD's, and be on the look out for stuff from Bassinvaders.
Markus is on of the greatest bassist in metal but not well known. Except Helloween fans will carry him on their hands.
On the playing your "bass like a guitar thing":
There have been several discussions on this.
I say: why not, it's a bass
guitar.
From the beginning the bassguitar was assumed to be played like a double bass, but we are not in the 50s anymore.
I'm not saying playing "like an electric guitar" all the time, but once in a while doing lead like an electric, often play like a double bass, and anything you like to do in between and things that can only be done on a bassguitar.
Makes the BG a versatile instrument. That is, if you want it to be.
Even a great (non-metal) bassist like Vic Wooten has ideas in his head that he sometimes want his bass to sound like an acoustic (country) guitar.
As for me, I want my bass to sound like an organ sometimes,..
waiting for my EHX POG.
Bassinvaders!!!!!!!!!!!! 
I mean the heavy mean stuff is great but its nice to hear something uplifting and helloween does it
