[MetalBassist73]

hey man what did you do to get to the stage your at with bass? lol you dont have to give a detailed report lol just like did you take theory, go to a certain school or what? im asking cuz i think your incredible

[Arkaikbp87]

@MetalBassist73 Haha...thanks dude. I just practice man, no classes or anything. I just tried to emulate the music/players that I like, and in turn a mash of all that influence became my own style...and as time progressed so did my ability to play. Just keep playing man and thanks for the kind words.

[MetalBassist73]

@Arkaikbp87 thats great. ive been self taught for a year and a half now and im trying to play different things. no where near ur stage. so how long you been playing?

[Arkaikbp87]

@MetalBassist73 About 7 years...so its taken some time

[MetalBassist73]

@Arkaikbp87 time well spent man. do you guys have a new album coming out soon? by the way i love the bass solo in obscured luminosity

[Arkaikbp87]

[Brutalators]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT! okay crazy story, i was listening to jeff hughell play with lord marco(former brain drill members) i clicked on this vid saw your band name, looked it up on metal archives and HOLY SHIT ARKAIK BASSIST IS IVAN MANGUIA!!!(also in brain drill)

anyway i thought that was funny

[NSGU]

What's the tuning? It sounds like the band is tuned to D standard.

[Arkaikbp87]

@NSGU Close...C# standard

[NSGU]

@Arkaikbp87

Man, if only you guys were D standard.....*sigh*

I don't take kindly to playing C#; it's just not my schtick, is all.

[burrito1331]

[itsdrpepper567]

[TheDonDadieo]

[imdashit5]

[rogueshdw]

Great playing! Ima buy the album haha

How long have u been playing bass? and did u take lessons?

[DarkThoot]

what bass is that?

[Arkaikbp87]

@DarkThoot Ibanez Sr1006...great god damn bass!

[sergore]

great band... i really got excited when it came out 'cause there aren't many bands playing this way out there (or at least not as many as i'd like to ;)... great work and hope to hear more from you guys in the future

[Reapsftw]

Excellent playing, man. I was wondering though, do you put your action really low? Because when I put the action on my bass low, I start to get uneven hits, but if I put it up higher, I can't do tapping on the higher strings. Been wondering for a while about this stuff.

[Arkaikbp87]

@Reapsftw Ya its pretty low, but I know what your'e saying about uneven hits, you just gotta find a happy medium and find out whats best for you. Good luck man.

[Reapsftw]

@Arkaikbp87 Thanks man, I appreciate it.

[LuKeG103]

you guys are like a more brutal and awesome faceless, new album is insane!

[clarkshapedbox]

You guys are going to be the next big thing in technical death metal. Such an awesome band! There is no way you guys won't get popular

[swimmerphi]

[Arkaikbp87]
