People always mention Matt Freeman as far as Punk bassists, Fat Mike is just as good, if not better. Yes Mike has never really had a solo as mind blowing as "Maxwell Murder", but his bass lines are great!
Slippy Jones Fat Mike has way more groove than Freeman. Freeman knows his scales and plays them REALLY FAST. Mike plays with more feel and emotion. Well thought-out riffs. Basically, like you said, Freeman is good, but Mike is better. I think he’s underrated because he’s such a jerk.
both great players, in my opinon they are the 2 best punk bass players: Freeman plays faster or at least more technical basslines than Fat Mike because he doesn't sing as Fat Mike does. On the other hand, Fat Mike has more groove when he plays in the instrumental parts.
This is some excellent work here, good on you! Fat Mike is an incredible bassist and you highlight this big time. I'm a massive fan of NOFX and you pull it off with ease.
With Line6 Mesa amp simulation and distortion pedal simulation with 25% overdrive. EQ with a lot of bass and treble. This will get you a cool versatile tone. Playing gently the tone is clean, when you want more distortion you play stronger.
Thanks! Nicely done. And on a 5 string no less. I was a little hesitant to see NOFX played on a 5 string to be hones, but you pulled it off like a champ.
