[Napalm162]

Song NAME?!?!?!?

[csillamano]

omg, what a bass sound! I have to change pants. now.

[hellonearth1066]

HOLY SHIT MATE! Do you know the As Gods lads? I think you may do ;)

[morganchavis]

Can we hear a clean sound on this bass?

[FvckYovrGod666]

I'm using a Droid 3 and can hear the bass, you guys must have the soup kitchen of speakers

[cowheap]

That bass sounds beast.

[Veedubbin18]

IDk wtf people are talking about, I can hear the bass through my iMac speakers XD

[lucianodiaz56]

Damn that's a great bass, that tone is so crisp.

[MojoJojo378]

what string gauges do you use on the bass?

[Dwellingers]

Nice AXE - I'm got GAS now!

[dutchfumaster]

so what equipment do you use to make these videos? they always turn out so nice!

oh, and that bass is sexy

[PeteygRaves]

@dutchfumaster For the audio it's the guitar that you see in any given video (since about this time last year) plugged directly into an Axe FX Ultra (which gives me my guitar tone), this then goes direct into my computer and I record in Logic 9. This is the audio I mix with the video.

As for the video, I generally tend m use a Canon 7D, but occasionally will use a GoPro HD Hero when my girlfriend isn't willing to help me film. I sync everything up and colour grade in Final Cut Pro 6.

[theMachineandI]

That bass is pretty nice. Almost Music Man sounding with that kind of buzzy attack.

[builditwithlegos]

This has some proper grind.

[Psyshimmer]

I don't see how people are having issues hearing the bass. It's distorted and extremely high in the mix. I can hear it on my laptop speakers easily.

[joemalov]

damn dude, this is fantastic sounding. you really scored big on this one

[TheBANDEMIC]

damnn u should do some thrice covers with that thing! paper tigers!

[TheFireball100]

Brutal! I could hear it very well since I have my Alesis monitors.

[midwaybass]

lol

[mikeintheattic]

Mayones for guitar and Gibson for bass? Seriously Petey? Step it up :D I understand people's choice of simplicity on vintage gear but Gibson Grabber (four string) in the face of Mayones 8 string shows obviously how much you care about the bass :D

[Crowzism]

fucking awesome!

[silverback006]

anyway you could share that bass patch? It sounds nasty!!

[666jony666]

Theres one thing I dont like about this new style of prog metal, the bass is hard to make out apart from some pick attack. Although saying that, April by Tesseract is the shit!!

[PeteygRaves]

@666jony666 Other than the time signature I wouldn't call this particular thing prog metal at all, it's really much more hardcore punk stylistically. Also I have mixed the bass particularly high in this so if you can't hear it then I'm not sure what to say, it has a much grittier distortion going on than the guitars but also has the clean note mixed in there too and is a whole octave down.

[666jony666]

@PeteygRaves I appreciate the reply. I ment in general in similar bands music that I find the bass kind of hard to make out. I forgot to mention that this piece features quite the opposite. I quite like your description of your music. Amazing and original content as always man.

[METALLICA6547]

@PeteygRaves dude! you could play a rubber band and make it sound EPIC!!

[guitaristman23]

@666jony666 i don't even have proper monitors and i can hear it lol

[ShredTraining]

Hi Pete, did you produce the Red Seas Fire album?

[PeteygRaves]

@ShredTraining Nope the final production was all Nolly, I only really produced the electronics since I composed all of those parts, but everything else was down to Nolly and I have to give it to him, the amount of effort he put into that was monumental.

[gjmvi]

All I hear is guitar.

[Napalm162]

@gjmvi then you are realy dumb

[PeteygRaves]

@gjmvi Listen on some headphones or some good speakers, not just laptop speakers. If you still can't hear it then try and latch onto the sound of the downward slide at the very beginning, as it's only the bass that does that.

[gjmvi]

@PeteygRaves Oh yeah, haha. Sounds fuckin killer man!

[deadrat117]

Awesome!

[GaiaCollapse]

Sounds thick. Nice bass!

[Wattyb2]

Now that's how you mix in a bass guitar!

[DeanFromHell1993]

That awesome moment when there´s a new PeteygRaves Vid in your sub box :)

[someguyoketcetc]

What tuning / string gauge are you using? Sounds colossal!

[PeteygRaves]

@someguyoketcetc The bass is tuned C G C F, I'm unsure as to what the string gauges are, I think the thickest string is a 105 though.

[i8i7]

very nice!

[ktxdgqtx]

Congrats man, it sounds awesome as well

[FadingReign]

Hey Pete, love your stuff man! From your song-writing and playing to your mixing, always brilliant and inspirational. Your uploads make my day and make me pick up my guitar more often. Thank You!
