Ahh i remember seeing this like 3 or 4 years ago, i was hyper into dream theater, and i noticed the bass being so crazy and complex, now that i actually did research... im glad i found out who it was!
same album, (virgil donati- in this life) song is called iceland i believe. super clean key piece interupting a mess of chunky dissonant chords, really good piece
Me too. It seemed a bit out of sorts honestly. And the guitar tone was absolutely shit. Amazing musicians, amazing playing even, not huge on the execution of the song.
JordyNorm Could very well be Ebony!! Despite what most would imagine Ebony wood has white streaks, Solid black cuts being more sought after due to aesthetics reasons, and consistency of density!!
+Bob Roberts I presume you are referring to the "Anthony Crawford Visits Ibanez / Promethean Bass Amps" Where the fellow asks Anthony "whats the fingerboard, two different types of wood?" and Anthony replies "yea; well actually this is just stained!"-----Regardless of the actual conversation, considering the grain flow is reminiscent of naturally occurring two toned (ebony and other hardwood) specimens! and considering that most great musicians seem to no nothing of there actual instruments technical design nor makeup (no offense to Mr Crawford!) i would take those statements with a grain of salt until more info is revealed to us.....p.s musicians who understand the technical side of there instrument usually enjoy elaborating on the subject when being questioned..
Ive got a similar Roscoe bass, except mines a Roscoe lg-3005. The fingerboard is called “purpleheart sapwood “ Excellent material with great sonic characteristics & looks amazing!
Randal Ross don't ever use the notebook/netbook/ipad or mobile device to hear the bass line, try using some earphones or an appropriate speaker system at least 2-way speakers. There are physical limitations for such small speakers to reproduce frequencies at 30-120hz, without destroying the sound itself.
It is you that maybe never heard progressive rock/metal/fusion. That's what Virgil Donati does. Yeah, that's the drummer whose song you are listening to here, from his album In This Life.
mtl blues He's actually playing an odd meter time scale, accenting the off beats instead of letting the accent fall on only the up beats and down beats, it's the messure that fluctuates not the tempo, if that makes sense.
