Rage Against The Machine - Know Your Enemy [Bass Cover]

Bass cover of this amazing song in my HK 7-string.
Tuning: B (E A D G) C F
I only use the standard 4 strings, so...
I use a technique... I don't know how it's called, this way you can hear way more the fret attack. That sexy *clank* of the string against the fretboard, signature of MusicMan models. It's done with a different approach of the fingerstyle. Like if you were tapping your fingers on a table. I also use a technique Ryan Martinie used, like slapping chords with your fingertips.

Sorry for the mistakes if any and all that.

Oh, also, I didn't have a distortion pedal, so I put my mids to the max : 3

RATM + Maynard James Keenan + 7-stringed bass = blood spraying from every pore in my body :D

[BassGrindcore]

@ADullerDay That should be the reaction that it causes on everyone!

[BassGrindcore]

@DooMDrummer You're welcome, the bass is great! It's the best instrument I've ever owned and one of the best I've ever played. btw, do you know if the guys are HK are taking custom orders? I was thinking about a 9-string in the future, but I haven't seen one on the website or the eBay account. Maybe I should just email them.

@cameronj279 Thank you, didn't know the name!

[DooMDrummer]

@BassGrindcore thanks :) am working for HK - greetings Daniel

[cameronj279]

@BassGrindcore thats 'octave tapping' you're thinking about :)

[pivotguy196]

cool, i didn't know that technique

[BassGrindcore]

@pivotguy196 Not really, it isn't slap and pop technique, it's called "typewriter" tap or something like that. It's done with your index, middle and sometimes ring. Check out some cover of Happy? by Mudvayne, in the chorus Ryan does it.

[pivotguy196]

do you mean slap technique?
