@quepasta123 He always does, it's better to do that if you arent playing an instrument while youre singing because that way you can concentrate on your voice. See he holds the microphone a lot and concentrates on singing. It's easier and less awkward.
@fendermaxime Weeell, nickel-strings sounds better for their music. At least in my opinion. His sound on this clip is a bit hard on the ear. The sound of his bass should be more mellow, smooth and vintage.. Don't you think?
@HawaiiAlohaBanana it doesn't sound smooth on the one hand because he use a pick and on the other hand he pick the strings very close to the bridge. It is a choice and well it sounds good. But you know the bass is not very highlighted in the strokes music.
@fendermaxime I know, i knooow.. i'm not complaining, i just like the warmer bass sound better than the steel-ish sound. Listen to when it started.. smoooth sounding, even with a pick. You know what I mean.. his sound on this gig is just got a bit too much p-bass-ish sound, almost like a chainsaw.. But yeah, I love his style, and I grew up listening to them.
@HawaiiAlohaBanana I am not a bass player but I know what you mean. Fraiture has not a "signature sounds" , I guess je change his amp preset while giging every now and then.
man you are such a dick. to soemone who hasnt fuckin wikipedia'd his gear it sounds like a synth pedal. was it really that funny? and is ledhendrix rly that stupid? no, probably not, hes not the one over using LOL. deniz15, you should probably change ur name to dick15, more fitting
You're just one of those people who always has to feel proprietorship over their favorite bands. So you have go a few notches more obscure, therefore more cool with the Libertines because you can't handle it that people just love the Strokes the very second, THE VERY SECOND, they first hear them, therefore you weren't the first to discover them and you can't handle that. Eat me.
