The other piece of the puzzle I haven't mentioned yet is the Darkglass B7K, which is the base of the distorted tone I use.

Cheers!

Nice!!

I'm running a 2 RBI setup for a clean/dirty rig but I'm thinking of going to axe fx once I can afford it.

I just picked up a dingwall too actually, was pretty stoked to see those slanted frets. What kind of strings are on your bass? I haven't had to re string it yet but want a nice tone that can get nice and aggressive, sounds like whatever you're using is working!

Obviously I'm biased, but I do think it's the best bass overdrive out there!

Pretty cool of Adam to drop by and answer a few questions.

Cheers! There's a lot going on in that song but to be honest its bark is worse than its bite

Cool, I use Circle K strings - they were what Sheldon recommended when I got my Combustions. He went as far as to calculate the ideal gauges/tensions for each of the tunings I use and had the basses set up with the resulting sets out of the factory.
I really like the CK strings, the only problem is the turnaround time on orders seems to be very long - it took close to 6 weeks for the last order to arrive (bear in mind I am in the UK though). I need to find a better solution because it's less than ideal!

Unfortunately I'm not sure about that, I didn't have anything to do with the filming process I'm afraid. You can hear the just sound recorded by the GoPro during the breaks and for the very last note, but the rest is the direct sound from my Axe-FX against an instrumental mix of the album track. The GoPro audio is still in there at all times though.

Hello,

I sent you a Private Message.

Not really, my signal chain is fairly simple. I do use a compressor to get some extra punch but other than that it's just a simple split clean/distortion setup.

the bassist of Periphery getting down on his 5'er. awesome video

Love this! Thanks for the post. I gotta pull out my GoPro at our next gig.

[Bassic Playing]

Such a great bass part, really looking forward to Periphery when they're in Australia for Soundwave, should be super awesome.

[MoeGJBeener]

If you guys dig that tone, listen the the track "Erised" off the Periphery II album. Got some sick drum and bass action going on.

[TheDialog]

Periphery is my jam. Recently, the band I listen to the most.

[xander8280]

I love periphery!!!! The tone on the second album is awesome. Nolly is a good bassist and producer.
I like erised a lot, that was done with an active jazz bass(I saw him post stuff about it). He used multiscales and some warwicks.

Rad!!

[NollyPeriphery]

Thanks again guys!
Just to clarify, the album was tracked with a Mayones Jabba Classic 5 for the most part, and a chromed-out Warwick Thumb 6 for the lowest-tuned songs. I didn't have my Dingwalls at that point otherwise I would have used those exclusively

Truly mindblowing...WoWww


Some moving fingers on a fingeboard with the occasional human wondering in the picture...


Seriously though...what's the point of this?

[christoph h.]

Is it important that it has "a point"?

I mean, it actually has (several), but what's "the point" of your post, except being a killjoy?

It caught your attention. Point proven.

I'd suggest consulting an existentialist

No, it didn't particularly.
I was browsing random threads...I do that sometimes.

Perhaps not a bad one!
But would they not ask 'what is the point of all this(life in general)' rather than worrying about some guy filming his fingers?
If life starts to revolve around some guy filming his fingers, I'd start to worry .
