Tribal Tech - Sub Aqua

Carvin XB76PF Six String Fretless Bass into a Hartke HA3500 Head and 215XL Cab. Mic'd the cab with an AKG D112 and went D.I., too, blended into Cubase. The mic is panned to one side, and the D.I. is panned to the other side, which is why there is a slight delay effect. I forgot to account for that when editing. Oh well.

Hmm.. Tribal Tech, Ill have to check em out. They remind me of the Ripingtons, based solely on this video.

Nice Carvin! Im planning on getting a fretless Carvin soon!

Tribal Tech is great, man. So is the Carvin, but I have a much better amp now for it, an Eden Nemesis!

Cool to see more Tribal Tech covers on youtube. Great selection on this song... cool Carvin.

Thanks, man. I'm a huge fan, but don't meet many others who even know who they are.  Easily one of the top 5 best jazz fusion groups of all time.

How hard is it to play a fretless?

[polishcomedy]

When I first got it everything I played was out of tune, lol. It takes some practice. Steve Bailey's video, Fretless Bass has a lot of great exercises. I'm still not perfect, but I'm working on it.

My favourite Tribal Tech tune, very awesome. Great job on the cover.

My next bass will be an LB20F with J99A's (single coils) at the neck and bridge -- or so I thought until I saw this. I have to ask: what are the differences with an extended scale length on a fretless? I never considered that.

I love Tribal Tech. I have everything of theirs and I mean everything including rare videos. I miss them not playing anymore. I have to throw Steve Smith's group "Vital Information" into the discussion. Great band in it's various incarnations.Great job on the bass by the way. I have an XB76PF with fret lines and I kind of wish I had gotten it without lines like yours. You play much better than I do and I guess if I did not have the lines I would play even worse maybe.!!!!Keep up the good work

Top 3, IMO, beaten out only by Weather Report and Return to Forever. I prefer Tribal to the Chick Corea Elektric Band, even.

Fantastic job, my friend. That's an impressive collection of toys you've got there ... o_o;

[Element404]

Awesome cover man! Sorry I didn't check this out sooner. I've been busy lol.
