i see a lot of stuff about justin chancellor and kud but i see no stuff about timmy c from RATM. what's every1 think of him?
Timmy is a great bassist, I really like him. Plus I think you're talking about Ryknow, Kud is the vocalist of Mudvayne.
Tim.com is one of the best rock bass players, thanx to him I started to play with overdrive in some of my original songs........
tim is great i recommend to all bass newbies to learn the entire self titled RATM album... is easy yet cool!
Nice use of overdrive and compression, I thought he got some good sounds and he really inspired me to start using overdrive to cut through.
Lotsa people think that Evil Empire was a bad RATM cd, but I love it. Fun basslines that are relatively simple.
He's actually the bassist that inspired me to start playing. Great tone, and some really fun slap/pop lines.
took me a while to get TimmyC his style is very simple... but effective. Personally I think Renegades is the best album they ever did and it's by far their best album for bass parts.
Mr C also inspired me to play, and his bass lines are great. Specially love Know Your Enemy, the chords, ahh the chords. BRILLIANT. In calm like a bomb you might want to play your right hand further up the fret board, it sounds pretty close when i do that. (Having a Jazz Bass also helps i suppose). Evil Empire is by far and away their weakest album. RATM and Battle of LA are their best in my opinion, but then again I'm smarter than the average bear.
