Ambient/Post-Rock/Textural bass playing thread

Well, this is interesting.... a new Eno album coming out... with vocals.
Filmed at the Acropolis with his brother Roger on guitar.


The tune starts getting kinda cool toward the end and I think Eno’s voice sounds nice. Just comes off a bit cheesy to me, sadly because I love Eno

Some fun examples of the routing and functions on the OBNE Float filter.


The very last bit was kinda neat, but that didn’t sell me as I ain’t looking for an autowah

Guy sold me a defective, impossible to fix vt bass. He’s literally a thief.
Refused to refund.
(Couldn’t try it first it was out of town, said it worked 100%, two knobs completely dead)

this is what I sent him by text msg with a few very unkind wordsLink Removed

That sucks. Woulda been interesting to record the smash sound and sample it.
 
I need to set mics around the house and make recordings of screaming and yelling. My back is out again and it’ll be a while before I can do anything musical.

The fun part is that my modular rig is on my work desk and I need to move it, but I probably can’t do that without dropping it. So, I guess I just won’t work until I’m able to move my synth. I’m not sure how to explain it to HR, but I’ll try.

I nominate this photo for the greatest photo ever posted to the Talkbass Effects Forum.

Sorry to have been so quiet on my end. I’ve been playing a lot and preparing for the music camp my wife and I are attending next week. In addition to a couple bass parts, I’m playing an actual guitar part on touch guitar—the lead from Radiohead’s Bodysnatchers, which has been an interesting new set of challenges. Part of that has been digging deeper into my HX Stomp so I don’t have to take a giant pedalboard. In the past I didn’t gel with the interface but now I’ve come around to it. It is really designed for dumb guitarists, so perhaps I’m moving toward that demographic.

The HX rapprochement has also caused me to dig deeper into my RJM pedal switcher as well, and has reaffirmed my affection for it as well.

I’m almost through a cycle of harmonic exercises on the touch guitar that I’ve been working through for the past few months, and will be switching to rhythm and polyrhythms after that.

Current GAS energy seems to be taken up with need for a new computer. Less fun.
