Just listen to Cliff's "(Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth" by Metallica, a song that's just one big bass solo. It's heavy on distortion, and just pure awesome. | Wrong. That song is one big guitar solo played on a bass. With poor quality distortion and not much skill behind it. |

But tbf, I don't consider Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth) a shred solo. The fact it is distorted bass does not instantly mean it's a shred solo. Most of the song is a melodic composition at mid-pace.

Just have to say that the above link is just a bit of fun. I wouldn't do anything like that in the band enviroment, and would never attempt to try to play so busily. If I played like that, I would be stepping in, and on, other peoples roles.
Just a bit of fun. |
