    Hadrien Feraud Punk Jazz Solo Transcription

    Here's the midi file too, so you can listen to it. If you play it over the original recording it matches up pretty well. Talkbass isn't letting me upload the file so here's a dropbox link. Dropbox - Punk Jazz Hadrien Feraud Transcription.mid

    Hadrien Feraud Punk Jazz Solo Transcription

    I just finished this transcription after a couple days of hard work on it. This is Hadrien Feraud's solo over Jaco Pastorius's "Punk Jazz" on Hadrien's new album "Born in the 80s". Everything's written an octave lower than it sounds on the recording, to avoid hundreds of ledger lines. Hope you...

    Guess the effects of... Michael League!

    In this interview (near the end), Michael lists the effects he uses, including two different octavers; the MXR bass octave deluxe, and the EHX POG family. Based on the sound, I'd say he's probably using the MXR, and maybe some other effects.

    Hollow or Semihollow 6 string basses ?

    Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but if you're still looking for a semi-hollow bass VI, you should look at Link Removed. While it comes strung A-a, it seems perfectly possible to string it E-e, and there are some videos on youtube of it being played, and it doesn't sound half bad for its price.

    What Custom Made Bassists Bass Is Your Favorite?

    For me, it's gotta be Thundercat's 6-string Ibanez artcore.

    Has anyone ever gigged using EBS pedals only?

    IIRC, Dominique Di Piazza (phenomenal jazz bassist if you've never heard of him) exclusively uses EBS pedals.

    Help me pick out an octave pedal

    This sounds like a job for the earthquaker devices organizer. It gives you an octave up, an octave down, and a dry signal blend. There was also some sort of delay effect for when the octave voices enter, giving it a really ambient sound [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

    What envelope filter is thundercat using in this video?

    Well looking through other videos of live performances, I can see that he uses a digitech whammy, a pedal that looks like it could be a boss SYB-5, and a slightly smaller black pedal that I can't identify. You can get a good glimpse of it 18 seconds into this video

    What envelope filter is thundercat using in this video?

    What models would you say are "inspired by" the mu-tron? How is a mu-tron or mu-tron inspired pedal different from other envelope filters?

    What envelope filter is thundercat using in this video?

    Could anybody tell me what pedal thundercat is using in this video? It sounds absolutely awesome. While the effect is used basically throughout the entire set, one spot where it is particularly prominent and probably the most recognizable is at 27:18.

    That's really awesome and informative. What program are you using to illustrate this?
