Me playing Time Is Running Out by Muse. Tell me what you think.

Wrong section, dude.

But I'd say your recording quality is worse than your playing.

Sorry, someone close it then. Quality I know is bad, but all I have is my built in webcam

Whoa. I agree. Is that you playing or is it a phantom bassist?

Sounds like your hitting the correct notes.

Try brightening the background the next time, we may then be able to see ya

Why would you make your bass sound like that?

Deluge Of Sound · #7 01-09-2008, 10:56 PM

why would you be a douchebag over the internet?

It's his bass, it's his sound.

I like your tone. I also have a double muff, and while it's a peculiar beast, it definitely makes itself useful.

Fair point.

My comment was more anti muse than anti 'mrsexy', apologies!

I love the muff, I'm not crazy about my tone ATM. Since I just got the thunderbird the double muff settings is still from my old bass. I need to EQ a little better too.

The prechorus is played an octave up, and the last note in it is moved up 1 and 1/2 steps from the A.

You are hitting most of the notes, but you are chunky. Like, your kinda in time, but I bet if you played to a met, you would be all over the place, or better yet, play to nothing. I bet you would wonder all over the time...

The bridge of the song is also wrong. Listen closer to the notes, or search for a well rated tab somewhere.

Being a big MUSE fan, I have played this song 100's of times. It is not easy, though it appears to be. Keep practicing, and soon Hysteria will be a walk in the park!

I have been playing for 15 years. Check out my band on myspace...
