Ambient/Post-Rock/Textural bass playing thread

As if their stuff isnt confusing and complex enough as is.

You need 3 legs 4 arms and two heads to work those things to full capacity live.

Okay, but Lazenby actually was one of the better Bonds, though. Is this a Brosnan or a Moore?

i liked lazenby too. he’s above moore for me. well, moore is at the bottom for me.

brosnan and dalton both had a couple good and couple bad.

for me
1 connery, 2 craig, 3/4 brosnan/dalton, 5 lazenby, 6 moore.

lordradish was cross-referencing a facebook post where i rated van halen singers on the james bond actor scale.

Saw this pop up for you synth nerds. You guys probably know everything about it already.
Didn’t watch the demo, was afraid of Ricky Acid jack hammer beats poppping out of nowhere.
Apex Twin synth, guaranteed to make you produce an album like Druqks or your $$ back.


Saw this, apparently, the Aphex Twin firmware's been around for a while, they just changed a few things on this one to make it more useful. My partner in my duo got a Bassstation II, recently. They sound real nice.

Anyone see that trending thread about big rigs eventually going the way of the dinosaur? Really got me thinking hard about if I will ever need my big rig again ...[snip]... Anyone still using big stuff?

My "big rig" has been living in a rehearsal studio for the past ~15 years, and while it gets used regularly there (or did pre-COVID) I think I took it out to gig twice in all that time.
Conversely, my "small rig" gets (got) a lot of use, to the point where I almost think I prefer the sound of it. Almost. I definitely think the convenience far outweighs any sonic compromises.
So I could definitely imagine getting ride of most of the "big rig" some day...although it's gonna be really hard for me to part with that Eden D-115 cabinet, that thing sounds phenomenal for so many situations.

I’d definitely take the Eden 210.

So its basically the same as the AFX ??
Dont forget I’m a huge synth neophyte,
The big thing with the AFX firmware, as I see it, is allows you to actually tweak the synth per note, ie you could have the cutoff be one thing on one note and different on another. This new model I think just added some controls to make it easier, but you can still do it all on the original BS II, with that AFX firmware.

That's a pretty big small rig. Small to me means 'everything in one hand'.
