How does one simply write such an unbelievable bass line? Where in the creative process does writing bass come in for TesseracT? Eg do you work guitar down or bass up if that makes sense?

Great playing! Love the new album! I like how your new basses have the music man voice but with a little more midrange content, instead of it being ULTRA mid scooped like on a traditional MM. I would personally love to hear some Jazz bass voiced tones on Tesseract's music as well. But anyway, Thank You you guys for the amazing music, and the inspiration.

When tuning drop A, would you use a regular 5 string set with saddle higher, or a larger string? (Guitar player new to bass asking) If so, what gauge for 34" scale?

@tarkenton3895 5 жыл бұрын

Amos uses 35' scale basses I think, but if you're using a regular 34' scale you'd ideally want a beefier low string to start off and then set intonation/string height based off of that I like using really beefy lows if I'm going to A or as far as F# it since you're only looking for A, experiment anywhere from .140 to .145

@XiyuYang 5 жыл бұрын

@@tarkenton3895 No AW5 is 34 inches. He uses either 130 or 135 for drop A though.

@captaindelculo1731 4 жыл бұрын

I wouldn't go any smaller than a 135 on for a Low A string. Honestly I didn't know 145 gauge string existed, may aswell just start using bridge suspension cable at that point lol

@Surrey_01 Жыл бұрын

This is probably stupid but all that is needed for the tone is the Darkglass compressor and distortion? There is no amp for example? (Guitarist learning bass)

@Zip2461996 Жыл бұрын

Check out his description, the RME does most of the processing which is then edited in Pro Tools.

@warrenoids 10 ай бұрын

The RME has no production capabilities. The tone generated is mostly through the Darkglasses, yes, but I'd wager that there are some post processing happening within Pro Tools after it's being recorded. To answer the original question, yes you'll get very close with both Darkglass pedals.

Do you have any tips on the impact while thumb picking? It hurts my nail a lot so I can't quite get to practice it more than a few seconds at a time.

@TheComodous 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Funkaforfan, I'm not using the nail at all in the upstroke, it's more the side of the thumb at the hight of the knuckle that's hitting and plucking it. If you do it this way you get a more consistent sound between the down and up stroke (the nail sounds different) To do this the trick is the have the palm of your hand as close to the strings as possible. Then your thumb is parallel to your strings and not digging underneath. This way the palm is also in the perfect place to mute the strings you don't want to hear. At least, this is what works for me. Hope this helps.

@@funkaforfan it actually is the nail that gives it the click. I have my 6 string bass in my hands and plugged into my ashdown 115. It really is the nail that gives it the colour you hear in this song. The right technique is to do it until it doesn't hurt. I know because slap used to hurt me but now I even slap in walls to develop callosity ;)
