Nihilistic Snake nowadays he does, but he recorded "images and words" and "when dream and day unite" with 4 string basses, Spector and Music Man Stingray respectively.
@@faustinogarciabassplayer3174 Man weird coming across this and seeing I commented 5 years ago haha! Plus this sounds unmistakably like a spector! And the MM 4 string Sting Ray's he used in the early days on Day and Dream was a Single H Ray 4 with a Neck pickup wired to a separate output for a dual output bass :)
AFAIK, it's all about how it sounds with everything mixed in. Their recent material sounds similar when isolated, but when everything is mixed together it sounds punchy rather than sloppy.
You’re looking for 05:35 I can play this segment much slower, it’s not too hard once you get the hang of it. However the speed John is doing it at is f*cking ludicrous AF!
Thank you so much! I've been waited years hoping to find bass tracks from their first works. Where did you get this and the others from Images and Words? Any chance to hear other bass tracks?
even i thought it sounded sloppy but it goes perfectly with the original song and the tons of effects myung uses changes the sound to stuff more tighter when heard with the other instruments.
100% CORRECT!!! Raw and isolated instruments never sound great until the final mix-down...I've put down vocal tracks, instrument tracks, etc..once it all comes together, it's amazing! I've never heard anyone's raw tracks ever sound amazing on their own...especially raw vocals and bass guitar tracks...fret buzz, string impact...just like Myung's...but in the final mix...it sounds perfect!
I got to say, I find his tone to be pretty dang shit, and it's always so quiet in the mix. I don't get it, but it's better than his tone on Ytse Jam tho, that's for sure.
Theodor Leijonberg Andreassen I think you just can't distinguish the bass in the song from guitar or drum. If the bass was any louder in the mix, the entire song would sound too thick and muffled
I feel this is a common rock bass sound, and works within in mix. Listen to a Geddy Lee iso, or this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qSYuse9o8KI.html
I dont thini the bass is quiet in the miss lol. Put a song of dream theater in any speaker and hear with attention,the bass is there. Specially in "the mirror" the bass looks like it's even louder than the guitar
