zodiakironfist even though you consider yourself only in the basement that doesnt mean you don't have a kings throne down there. honestly you are one of the most skilled metal bassist i have ever had the pleasure to have witnessed rip dude
nice chops!!... just makes me appreciate that Steve Harris doesn't use a pick and that's insane for all the fury that comes out of his songs!.... still really tight playin though!!.. keep playin!!!
Rod-zodiak-Harris! would you suggest me the Steve Harris' signature Fender Precision Bass or something else to begin? you rock! never give in! cheers mate
I know that this sounds really cliche, but you should go with whatever sounds the best and feels the best to you, no matter what hokey brand that may be.
The only way you can determine this is to hit every music store and try everything. Trust me...you'll be glad you did. Try thin neck, thick neck, different fretboard woods, etc....everyone's fingers are different.
I only use Dean Markley Blue Steel strings, medium-light gauge. Any other strings either do not have the power...or they chew up my frets.
Rotosounds eh? I hear they are fret eaters....is that true? How is the power on them? Because of the age of my Rick, I need a lot of power to counter the decay in the pickup strength.
Rotosounds are good to be honest they are all i have ever used , Med gauge roundwound are what i like. they are on my Fender , washburn and Ibanez they have good punch but they are a little hard on the frets. I am a metal head so they do take a beating.I Hope the basic response was helpful. Brian
hahah its funny how you commented on my friends video, (ScampiniStudios09) he was like dude, zodiak commented on my video, i feel so honored, lol. pretty fuckin sweet cover
They are factory 1974 4001 pickups...the original set. Unfortunately, they are so old I have to do all kinds of strange things to get their full sound.
Awesome like always! The part 3:24-3:48 is really intense and my favorite part to play. I really look forward too see you play it with other musicisians :D
Sorry I had to nix the other video. Turns out that I did not release the latest version. I'll repost the collaboration video within the hour. Until then, you can see the collab video at Scream4Vengeance's channel.
you have the SOUND of Harris! what is your amp/cab and effect?
