@Sabiano Are you saying he sucks? Anyway, the fact he has his own website and signature bass are pretty big clues! He played bass for Joe Bonamassa, a pretty well known guy if you don't know who he is look him up. Also i know the name Eric Czar, i know him for his bass playing and i've bought his music. I've seen him play live and his solo stuff. To properly know he made a living playing bass i couldn't know but it had all the signs!
sweet jam man c: i play a 6 string fretless now and i got a 4 and 5 string fretted bass two. But ive been looking at going more erb. But the thing is idk if i would want to get a 7 string and tune it F# to c or B to f. Or if i should get a galveston 8 string and tune it to F# to f. Does anyone have any suggestions?
@bassist1209 Well do you really need the range? What would be your reasoning? Just being curious or wanting it doesn't cut it. As if for example you want to tap loads but your tapping isn't up to scratch then it's kind of pointless. I'm an ERB player and thought long and hard about all this as you need to or you'll end up wasting money! Also the Galveston 8 strings are hard to get these days
I like the bass sound, its so smooth and not sharp and high pinched like the guitar. Don't get me wrong I love the guitar sound too but this is just awesome!
this is one of the only recent music experiences that truly blew me away, your playing is stunning and it's very inspirational, you've set a high bar for most musicians to aspire...beautiful...music sweet music... .
this is the only extended range bass song i i have found so far that i will ever say i like!!! i am a fan of animals as leaders, and this is sorta similar to a few of his riffs, same idea like. well anyways yeah most of the time people merely use this instruments to prove they have practiced tapping riffs for a few years as opposed to actually make music with them. well done dude kudos :D
Petrucci is the guitar player for Dream Theater, Tosin Abasi for Animals as Leaders :D (search for on impulse) and buckethead wel... he's just buckethead, xD
Hey Eric I heard this song on the conklin website and I thought it was intense. Wicked I found out it was you, is that the regular groove tools seven string that your using or a custom? I'm thinking about getting the groove tools one and you made it sound amazing.
Wow...I am ashamed of myself. I hate it so much when people say that a 6/7 string bass is pretty much a guitar...But some parts of this really sound like a guitar just because it goes so far into the treble.
holy crap!!! i was wondering where i had heard this before and it is the song that they use on conklinguitars com under instruments! and the crazy seven string fretless one is on their main page!
i want to get a conklin 7 or 9 string...can you describe me tha feeling the advantages (or the disadvantages) of owning a bass like this? i would be greatful... will i face any difficulties jumping from a 5-string to a 7-string or 9-string????
Midi usually don't sound like this. Midi on bass stuff is usually used for triggering stuff. This sound like a bass under an echo effect. As for your question it's just a matter of how you approach it. The main obstacles are usually muting the unused strings, learning how to play the extra amount of fretboard and what to do you can do with it.
I could help, as far as a seven you would have to get use to a wider neck, you may or may not have any problems but it depends on what company you are going to buy the bass from, I would go and just try stuff at a music store or try a six string bass and work up, just a thought, hope it helps.
Dude, you just jumped into my top 3. I don't even know who is in my top 3, but you're definitely in there. You're feckin awesome
