@DrunkernBob There's no bass on Human essentially. We can hear it a little on the reissue finally. You can compare it to individual thought patters, that album has solid fretless bass sound, and that cuts through the sound.
@DrunkernBob Except Death's Human has nearly NO bass at all, because the original mix pretty much mixed Digiorgio out. Even Digiorgio admits he was so pissed off that he threw the CD out of a train when he first heard it. But the remix? Sounds great.
He seems cool and is pretty good. I really like Thesseling though. But hey, Obscura is Obscura if the music is great as it's always been. Good luck with new guy!
Wow, I must admit this guy is good. Seems like he really knows what he's doing and he put my mind at ease about the future of Obscura. The only flaw I see in his playing is that semi-muted top end click he's getting from the fretless BTB but alas it's a minor gripe.
Jeroen was so great of bass player.He will be hard to replace.Their styles are different.Jeroen was one of a kind bass player.I like what I hear from Linus,so far he has sounded good.Obscura is one of my top 5 bands I follow.The reason I liked them so much was the musicianmanship was far better than other bands especially Jeroen's bass playing.Also Stephen has has a side band called Thulcandra..check them out.It's black/death..very good ya..you check them out.\m/\m/
You know, I was bummed out when I found out about this. But, I'll be damned. This kid seems to be definitely up there in terms of skill and sound. Rock on, Obscura!
Its so cool that I met all the guys in this video after their show with septicflesh bodom and devin townsend! Easily the best concert I have ever been too!
I gotta say that I friggin' love the lighting of this video... very cool dark&green tone! Do more stuff like this, for example some interviews where you answer FAQs that you get.
WHTMbassist he said it was a custom BTB. They don't come fretless so he probably asked for the fretlines. I'm sure you can get a BTB and make it fretless, without fretlines.
The Ashula has always been a bass I have wanted to try out, he made it sound super sweet, so I want to try it even more now. For the BTP, I wish it didnt have painted on fret markings, still a sweet tone.
Hell yeah, like many I was a little worried after Jeroens departure from the band, but after seeing this he seams like a really cool guy, and with influences like the ones he stated, he's definitely got my attention!
And btw that frettless/fretted hybrid made me cream my pants, thats bloody awesome!
It's pretty disappointing that Jeroen left, he played the first time I saw Obscura and that bass sound just sliced right through the mix. It was'nt the same last time, it was at the same venue in the same time slot. It just was'nt the same.
We'll see though, I'm sure Obscura well come back to the states soon.
I dont want to bitch about anything, but i really liked Jeroens sound and i hope Linus is a good replacement... I wonder if the sound only was that strange in the video. Anyway! I'm looking forward to the next record!
I really like the footage of Noneuclid in this, I love that band and haven't seen that footage before. Also, this makes me want a BTB in fretless really badly!
