    Classic Rock Bass sound

    Hello, everyone. I am new here, but I am not new to playing Bass. I am starting a classic rock band with some friends. Nothing too serious like before, but we are planning to do some gigs around town. I have a Fender Precision bass and a Harke Head and cab. I haven't played in years, so to...

    Classic Rock recordings featuring bass OD

    ...I realize there's such a subjective take on if a tone is Overdriven or distortion. I came across a couple cool used OD pedals and got to thinking "What are some great examples of bass OVERDRIVE in classic rock recordings?" I have a pretty large music library, my first thought was JPJ on Led...

    Synthyish octave-like tone for stairway

    So, I think this is the right forum for this, but my band is covering stairway to heaven, not just the intro, the whole song. Now that I’m breaking it down, I noticed a weird synthyish, octave-like, bass sound in the background around 2:25 to around 4:20 when the drums come in. After 4:20 the...

    Sam Kiszka is a beast (no LZ comments plz)

    I’m gonna make this short. I really like Sam Kiszka’s (Greta Van Fleet) playing. I think he’s really creative and he plays bass in very different ways to the norm. It just hits so hard and just sounds so cool (just listen to ‘When the Curtain Falls’). What do you guys think of him? I think he’s...

    How To Discover New Music?

    So quarantine is taking a toll on me, I am stuck at home and bored senseless. Ive been trying to find new music by my usual method, going on youtube, looking up a song I already like, and then just clicking on whatever looks interesting on the sidebar and seeing where it takes me, only theres a...

    Bob Raymond/Green Eyed Lady

    I heard Sugarloaf’s Green Eyed Lady on my radio returning from my morning jog, and I think I’ve got the first third of the extended version down (which seems to be similar to most of the remaining 4 minutes). The bass line just popped out at me after passively hearing it all of my life, and I...

    Super Octave OC-3

    I'm new to the whole pedal game, my pedal board currently consists of only a big muff, but I've become interested in the Super Octave OC-3. As I play in a rock band with influences ranging from The Beatles and Led Zeppelin to Arctic Monkeys and Kasabian, does anyone think this is the right move...

    Joe Walsh's Barnstorm

    For me, this is a recent find of an older less-known gem. The bass playing by Kenny Passarelli is solid and fantastic... but wow, the album is SO FREAKIN' GOOD!!! Production, songwriting, performance, Joe's solos... it's just pure audio deliciousness. If you're unfamiliar and want to sample...

    Which Darkglass pedal for mild warm OD for Classic Rock?

    What DG product would work best for me. I play in a few bands which are basically classic rock/pop bands. No heavy stuff at all. Mainly I’d like to find a nice warm mild OD the I can blend well with my clean tone (EBMM Basses and Fender Bassman 100T tube head and cabs). I also like a fuzz and...

    How come using guitar picks with bass was so common with classic rock bassists?

    Guys like Paul McCartney, Roger Waters, John Paul Jones, as well as other countless bass players from this era almost exclusively used picks. Was there a reason for it, or is it because most of these guys were originally guitarists who just learned bass for the sake of the band? Now it seems...

    Tired of Same Old Classic Rock!

    I've been listening to and playing the same songs for so long that I'm risking serious burnout, and don't want to lose my love for them. Beatles, Cream, Creedence, Aerosmith, Grand Funk, Skynrd, Allman Brothers, etc. Stuff played on FM back in the day, now heard over and over on satellite...

    Must-Know Classic Rock Tunes?

    OK, so I went to a jam session over the weekend... first one in decades. I had a blast, but one thing became glaringly obvious. When the host turned to me and said, "What do you know that you'd like to play?" ... my mind went blank ... slightly because I was put on the spot, but MOSTLY because I...

    Best flatwounds for pickstyle classic rock on P-Bass

    I currently have some cheap flats on my Squier P-Bass, but since I'm gonna soon get an used American Standard P, and I'm thinking about forming a band with some friends, I started thinking about what strings I should use. I want something like the Roger Waters tone, something that can still...

    Classic Rock Bands - Obscure Covers That Work For You?

    Not sure this is the correct forum for this, mods please move if necessary. The band I'm in plays classic rock but with (what I assume to be) a bit of a twist - we try to do mostly stuff you don't/won't hear other similar bands cover (we do some originals too but kind of in the classic rockish...

    Funk #49 - James Gang

    Contains both standard notation and TAB (see attached .PDF). Funk #49 has been one of my very favorite classic rock tracks to play bass along with for decades now. Dale Peters' bluesy bass runs are supremely tasty and a perfect counterpoint to Joe Walsh's guitar. Recorded in November 1969...
