I want to record a bass cover of certain band along with video. The problem is, I live in Dormitory and I don't want to disturb the other guys in my dormitory. So what I want is bass into PC to record, but I also want to hear the bass through MIC along with the music I am covering (which...

Perpetual Black Second - Meshuggah

Psycroptic is a very technical band. I've listened to couple of their songs but it's really technical. I don't really know how good their basses are though. I know Brain Drill though. That band got a wicked bassist. Sadistic Abductive is my favorite song from them. AND THEY ARE TOURING WITH...

I'm a college student. I'm so poor that I have to live in cheap dormitory. I can't afford a bass even if it's $100. And if I were to buy a bass, I would to go for one that will really satisfy me so I will use $500 on it if I can. But I don't feel like buying a bass that has a bent neck (even...

Yes definitely. My brother got Bachelor's degree in Neuroscience and Chemistry while getting Music as the main. So it is possible to do a combo. DEFINITELY.

My friend has a bass that is virtually mine because he can't play. I live in the dormitory but then I will have to go back to where my parents live during summer break, and I can't take the bass with me. I have no bass at home, so I won't be playing any bass for almost 2 month. Is there any...

Okay, then may be my friends are wrong or something. But I definitely heard teacher teaching 3-2-1-2-3-2-1...

no no no. I know Billy does that. I mean I know Billy you know... I was just talking about 3-2-1-2-3-2-1 being the "orthodox way". Remember, I do it the Billy's way.

oh really? Most of the friends of mine who play bass said most teacher will teach you 3-2-1-2-3-2-1 way. Steve DiGorgio also play that way. Alex Webster asked Steve DiGorgio how to play 16ths on fingers but after feeling uncomfortable, ended up using 3-2-1-3-2-1.

Basses are mostly in lower frequency unless you go high on the highest string or unless it's bass only. Even if it's bass only or high pitch, the frequency is much lower than 1khz (vocals) and a bit harder to hear out all the details that is below 750hz basically. These lower frequencies are...

I'm Japanese, but I'm a big hater of Dir En Grey...sorry. also, let's consider Fast as Flashy as well. 3 finger technique is difficult in orthodox (3-2-1-2-3-2-1) way for me. I rather find unorthodox 3 finger (3-2-1-3-2-1) much more easier. But I usually use 4 fingers when it's fast (16th...

hmm...behemoth, i don't know. I don't find his bass playing so flashy. Meshuggah is mainly rhythmic sense. that's for sure. psyopus, yes that band is very unorthodox

That's a difficult problem. Parents tend to be realistic. That is for sure. Idealistically, doing your favorite thing for your job is the best. But talking realistic, it's not always the wise way of doing it. My brother plays Violin and he's in Music College Masters Degree. he first went to...

Tool, Meshuggah, Textures, Gojira, Dream Theater...

I definitely know some bands with bassists that have unbelievable talent. It's not really good thing to say when talking about "great" bassists, but I usually look at the flashy side of bass playing. Fast bassists always catch my ears. I know there are plenty of non-flashy but great bassist...
