Flanger in songs?

[Da LadY In Red]

Most live "Weekapaug Groove"s by Phish have a flanger bass solo to start. I think Stranglehold is a phaser btw. Also, I think Phish's Down With Disease has flanger on it.

On Pat Travers "Crash & Burn" title cut Mars Cowling used a Jet Flanger(IIRC). He also seemed to use it on a few other tunes. I use the Line 6 model of it with a clean, Ric-sounding setting in a partial cover of "Like a Rolling Stone".

+1...that is one bad a$$ tune!, and Eric is a great bass player! We opened a show for Bonamassa a few years ago and Eric and I hung out most of the day...He also uses the Boss M-188 Bass auto Q on a lot of stuff. That's partly why I picked up the auto Q. I have an Ibanez FL-9 Flanger on order to try out. I decided to try it because it's a lot less expensive than the Maxon, and hopefully there's not a huge sonic difference. I will only use flange very sparingly anyway...

+1. The opening to Down with Disease from Farmhouse is a great example of a flanger. It's a studio recording.

The live versions of the song vary, because a lot of times Michael Gordon has a lot of other effects in there too.

There are many more Bass parts that use CHORUS, and remember that the BF-3 does a pretty nice chorus (yeah - a bit of a 'flangy' chorus), with the regen turned way down!

The 3rd or 4th song on No Doubt's Beacon Street CD starts off with a bass put through a flanger.

I find myself wanting a flanger while using my new delay...

I have just been messing around with it and I just think to myself: "This would sound cooler with some flange after it!"

[crapusername]

there's alot of bass flanging going on in the album "the fragile art of existence" by Control Denied, and on "from beyond" by Massacre.
Steve Di giorgio often uses a flanger with his fretless. What a player - what a sound!

Especially on "The Year Punk Broke"

[Sir Edward V]

hmmm there is this one 80's rock song, you know arena rock stuff

I don't remember what it is called.... but if I had to put it into words:

doin digga doin d-doin d-d-d-doin doin (with a big flangy swoosh)

[Sean S]

Putting a flanger after my Big Muff, I can get a good "Killing In the Name Of" impression...

No - flange BEFORE it!

That way, as the flanger sweeps, each new echo has a different harmonic structure - a different 'vowel' - to it. The voiceing can sound very lush and complex that way!

Else, all your layers of echos get the same sweep freqs at the same time - that sounds considerably different.

Shoot, don't tell me what to do!!

lol, yeah, I bet that sounds cool, but the sound I had in my head called for flange after. i wanted the same sweep on everything

also, the delay I have changes the tone significantly from echo to echo, after about 6 echoes it doesn't even sound like bass

I think Eddie used a phaser more than flanger. His custom made pedal is a MXR Phase 90.

Anyway. I believe Thin Lizzy's Phil Lynott used a flanger (and phaser) from time to time. Waiting for an Alibi being a prime example (I think Dancin' in the moonlight is a good phaser example, but flanger would work).

Yes - Tempus Fugit - VERY prominent and FUN to play!
Dream Theater - Dance of Eternity - not as prominent and SO MUCH FUN to play!!

Flea uses flanger on "Scar Tissue". It's extremely subtle and only for one verse, but its definitely there. listen at 1:26 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoeLpv8-l1I

Juan Alderete uses flanger all over Mars Volta's Bedlam in Goliath
