One knob to end every song.

[matthewbrown]

That moment after the last note of a song is struck and when it ends is pregnant with possibilities. That is the moment that the bass tone control on my MTD Heir gets to shine, for I crank it up slowly.

Any tricks that you use to end a song -- and have the last "word"?

I love an open string + a fat harmonic in the resolved chord. Makes people nod "hmm good bassist"

Volume fade

 

[albertus]

dampening the strings with the side of the right hand, no need to move the volume knob

 

[Killing Floor]

Drummer paradiddles for 20 seconds and as that fades the audience becomes aware the guitarist is still fiddling and arpeggiating in an unrelated key.
