wal fretless bass mick karn riff

[oldsynth]

@Komodoensis No worries dude

[oldsynth]

@Milltinqq Cheers dude

[Milltinqq]

Mick Karn was a Legendary monster on the bass! So good to see his expertease have passed on to his fans!

[dikuwano]

爪をきりたまえ！

[Refrescospepito]

Fantastic performance.

Congratulations.

[oldsynth]

@Refrescospepito Cheers man

[Komodoensis]

Don't let it sit around for another ten years man. Love the tone :)

[LORDAKIRA2019]

Shit! Oldsynth, u sound just like Mick Karn! How can I get that sound? I want the ambiance, plz. Body wood(s), neck wood(s), strings, pedal(s), but not the amp. I know that Mick Karn used a Trace Elliot AH600SMX, & since I hate solid-state & love tubes, I have a Trace Elliot V-Type tube preamp, a V8 head, 810, 410, 1818, &115 cabs, & an AH600SMX that me & my local guitar & bass guitar guys r remaking into an all-tube amp, but other than that, I want the ambiance.

[oldsynth]

@LORDAKIRA2019 dude, I just went straight into the mixing desk, no pre-amp. I added a bit of midiverb 4 quad chorus and a little bit of delay....thats it. Keep rokin !

[MomoTheBellyDancer]

@LORDAKIRA2019

"How can I get that sound?"

You need a Wal fretless. Karn pretty much recorded most of his studio stuff straight into the mixer.

[littlenige]

Now give us Mick's Passion in Moisture!

[oldsynth]

R.I.P Mick, I'll never forget you and the basslines.........

[billybong507]

@oldsynth Hi, that's the ending to "She's got claws" by Gary Numan featuring the late great Mick Karn. You play it pretty good. Any chace of a lesson??

[oldsynth]

@billybong507 love to dude, but i'm a bit busy at the moment. I may be able to post a "how to play it" vid sometime though.

[geposefo]

nice crispy sound )

[zane1961]

fuck no wheres the link jesus stage 4 !!!!!! 

[Telekon5]

I had to think about it but then I got it... The fretless bass line to Gary Numan's "She's got Claws."

[timothyeilers]

Something off Numan's Dance album? Nice pick. Your playing is really good!

[paulprogram]

You should tag this as She's Got Claws by Gary Numan

[pawnsacrifice1]

The sad news is Mick Karn has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. There is a paypal link set been set up to help with treatment to fight the disease on his website. If you love Mick's music please try and help him

[oldsynth]

@pawnsacrifice1 thats sad news...I think that he was a heavy smoker, has that got anything to do with it?

[pawnsacrifice1]

@oldsynth Not sure, only what's on the official web site.

[Artemis458]

lol I think you managed to improve upon the original, awesome

[neugestalt]

That's very kind of you indeed. ((^_>^) I was really pleased to find your video here and am touched that you should take the time to do that ... I'm sorry to put you to further trouble.

I've been a fan of Mick's playing since the time and I could just never work out what he was doing, so your kindness is like gold.

All the best with your car fixing..

Les

[oldsynth]

@neugestalt No problem, I will send you an e-mail just before I upload the vid. keep rockin! , Daz

[neugestalt]

Very impressive, and really appreciated... I would be very grateful indeed, if you could play it at an angle to the camera where I could better see where you are playing.

All the best

Les

[oldsynth]

@neugestalt OK, I'll do that for you, just bear with me as I'm fixing cars at the minute!

[macsterdam]

Absolutely love your version of the 'she's got claws' outro-riff. It's a lot funkier somehow. You could probably build an entirely new song around your version of it.

[oldsynth]

cheers man. Daz

[merit120]

Nice watch :D

[todds7]

I think you've done well enough, lad.

'course the WAL does toss in a few bonus points.

If it weren't for the 32-inch necks on these buggers I'd probably get meself one. They do sound smashing though.

[boomerang2]

nice, can you do it any better now youve had more practice? pls take no offence as i cant play a note! how about a rendition of my favourite - 'a subway called you'?

[mookie2637]

Fantastic stuff - and such a nice change from the usual terrible slapping videos...thanks. PS Wal are making basses again.

[oldsynth]

thanks for the comment dude.

[slowdownsundown]

Lovely sound always loved Wal Bassesand Mick Karn is fantastic, Ive always wanted one of the headless K-Line models, but very expensive

[boogerbenson]

Brilliant mate! great bassline from a great track 'she's got claws' by Gary numan. Love the bass!!

[oldsynth]

cheers dude...keep rockin

[bassatnight]

Lovely playing mate, if you ever want to sell the Wal let me know!? ;-)

Mick Karn's autobiog is well worth a read.

[oldsynth]

cheers for the comment dude, I couldn't part with my wal...its my baby, but If i ever do sell....you can have first refusal.. ..keep rockin, Daz

[Xtr41]

Things to do before I die..... Buy myself a WAL bass..

[woodyaki]

'She's Got Claws'

[BlueMeanieSulk]

Sorry for pesterin ye os, would appreciate a small rendition of some Karn classics on that fine bass you have there :)

[jdragon1012]

what other bass can i use to get that sound? or come close

[oldsynth]

not sure dude, try a bass with twin humbuckers like the wal has, also a lot of treble and a flanger / quad chorus effect. keep rockin.....

[BlueMeanieSulk]

I am pushing it, however....the God Film bass line would be cool :)

Peace :)

[pawnsacrifice1]

Man nothing sounds as good as WAL

[oldsynth]

Your'e right dude.

[psychobollox]

damn good playing!

[oldsynth]

thank you very much.

[psychobollox]

welcome...

and i'm jealous as hell because of your bass as well....

;)

[MouthfullUK]

Ah this is one of the Gary Numan tracks Karn played on...!

[hiyou2468]

cool!!!

[RareEighties]

Now play the Chaz Jankel Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick bass line.

[oldsynth]

never heard of him....you play it.

[RareEighties]

Chaz Jankel is the bass player with The Blockheads, the late Ian Dury's backing band. Jankel is amazingly good, different style to Karn.

You seem pretty handy with a bass, it was a kind of compliment.

[oldsynth]

no worries dude....keep rockin

[makalu69]

Who? Nah - It was Norman Watt Roy....

[Tazz77]

Cool.

[BlueMeanieSulk]

ravinella,

when you are fortunate enough ( not you personally, figuratively speaking ) and appreciative enough of being in possession of a Wal......anything is possible :)

Enjoy the sound.

[ravinella]

quality mate , no serious F**KIN Q!!!!

Can you do the "White Boys & Heroes" riff? My guess is yu cant, not cos you aint good enuff, but becaue I reckon its 2 bass lines going off 2 gether!

[oldsynth]

You're right dude, it is double tracked fretless. thanks for your comment.

[nuartstudio]

what a riff...

she's got claws ...she's got claws

gary numan ...who else

[BlueMeanieSulk]

Fantastic Wal fretless......sorry......and swell playing with it :)

[oldsynth]

[BASSPOD100]

A man after my own heart. Plays a fretless surrounded by Models of stuff. Nice fretless riff Mr Oldsynth

[oldsynth]

Cheers dude, keep the faith!

[BlueMeanieSulk]

oldsynth,

thanks for the info on sound etc. Appreciated.

I welcome more of your vids :)

[spoombung]

Terrific tone. It's a mystery - I have the same instrument but just can't summon a sound like yours from it...

[oldsynth]

I DI'd straight in to the desk matey, then added some quad chorus and a bit of reverb.

[BlueMeanieSulk]

Take good care of that bass :)

[oldsynth]

certainly will, its my baby!!

[BlueMeanieSulk]

That is fantastic...keep up the good work. I am fortunate to have one myself but it has strips of metal along the Indian f/board :)

[oldsynth]

thanks for your comment.

[DevilMan38]

Beautiful bass; superb tone. Tasty playing too.

[oldsynth]

cheers man.

[DerVampyrEngel]

Cool "She's got Claw's" Gary Numan and yes Mick Karn played on that, cool man

[oldsynth]

[dannster]

Yep,  instantly recognizable. very cool!

[mirzamarco]

Yeah man, very nice touch! Karn's style is recognizable in less than a second! What a wonderful Wal bass you have! Keep grooving!
