it wouldn't surprise me if he was a pianist at some early part of his life, because if you can shred a piano you can do some pretty godlike shit tapping.
HOLY FUCK! You're in Reciprocal? I knew the bass was good, but DAMN. I bought that EP as soon as I heard the myspace page... it's in constant rotation. You sir are one of my all time heroes, you've inspired me to get a conklin 7 string and move up from a five.
well dude, I mean.. he is a like, PROFESSIONAL bassist. and has played for alot longer than you. as well as the fact that with basslines that fast? he's just improvising most of it. and what he doesn't improvise, HE wrote, so he knows hot it's gunan go. no matter what,.
usa un conklin a 7 corde attivo...adoro il suono di quel basso ! ora mi stavo cimentando anche io nel tapping armonico vengono fuori cose di una goduria infinita XD
Concklin 7 corde jeff hughell è un mostro..ha suonato con i braindrill,se vuoi sentire altri grandi bassisti ti consiglio il bassiste degli Augury,Atheist,Viraemia,Obscura,Necrophagist ma sopratutto il bassista dei Pavor o.o mette paura assurdamente..tutti questi nell'ambito technical death metal..se vuoi sempre un altro mostro,ma in ambito + tranquillo ti consiglio i Primus
i went with my bassist one day to get strings, he plays a 6 string ibanez and he has a custom tuning so he had to buy individual strings, it was like 6-12 bucks a string
you have no idea how much 8 string bass strings cost do you more strings that a bass has you should expect to pay like 10 to 15 dollars more for every string in the package than just buying a regular four string bass
hahaha oh my fuck. i just found out why you aren't in brain drill anymore. fucking hilarious. ahh who needs that anti drug, anal-probed, dick ruskin anyways. hahahaha
Wow you are a phenominal bass player. In just having a very hard time doing sweeps if there is any advice you can give me about how to do it correctly then let me know.
Jeff this particular video made me want to learn to play bass,your'e the best \m/,could you advise me which guitar i should start with and which has a good death metal sound?
Well maybe older to him, but Necrophagist still sounds pretty modern to be. Death, Early Cannibal, Morbid Angel, that is all early 90's older sounding.
I know Ive asked a bunch of questions already, and sorry if Im starting to annoy you, but I am very much considering buying a 7 string conklin bass, and I want to know as much about it as I can before I do. Is the neck very thick or is it thinner? I have a bass with a thick neck and it makes my wrists soar as fuck, also is the playability very good? Well I guess thats it. Any way your fucking awesome!
Ive looked, there are no places even close to were I live that have conklin. No place has just a six string bass even, it really sucks, the most I can get around here is a 5 string
haha yess, I THINK I JUST SHIT MY FUKIN PANTS!! Yes man u are amazing, i would love to jam with u someday, if we are everin the same city man, we should totally bass each others faces off. So are u in another band now after braindrill
Jeff, your an absolute monster...... I'd kill to have a bassist of your caliber.
