Re: The VHS School of Bass Tone.
Is it supposed to sound like that ? I don't know the original at all maybe it is supposed to sound all gnarly like that.

Re: The VHS School of Bass Tone.
It's not dissimilar, but it's more down in the mix. And there's no bass at all for the first 3 minutes of the song - this is just the ending. Odd one to pick... also, not really difficult in any way shape or form.WhiskeyJack wrote: βFri Mar 01, 2024 4:52 pmIs it supposed to sound like that ?

How is it you can just lift someone's song, play your own bass over it, and put that on YouTube? I thought the lawyers and algorithms would be all over that. But not, apparently.

I have no idea the mechanics of the youytubes. I suspect it is likely just not eligible for earning monies.Armistice wrote: βFri Mar 01, 2024 5:37 pmIt's not dissimilar, but it's more down in the mix.

Re: The VHS School of Bass Tone.
I suspect the recording has lost some bass in the translation but the mids to top sound about right.

You can pretty much do whatever you want. They just won't let you monetize it. If that shitty bass tone cover gets 50 billion views he may not see a penny of it.

Re: The VHS School of Bass Tone.
I think so. They're going for a wall of sound thing rather than a distinct rhythm bass. Plus, this guy seems particularly drawn to that kind of music. He's got a Muse playthrough with a similarly fuzzy (but too crisp) tone.WhiskeyJack wrote: βFri Mar 01, 2024 4:52 pmIs it supposed to sound like that ?

Wait... Oh! I didn't realize until just now VHS here meant me and not the video format!
I rarely use that much fuzz on the bass bass. I do put some grit on my bass, but the real fuzz is reserved for the guitar-substitute bass.

Re: The VHS School of Bass Tone.
Damn. This is one of my very favorite Radiohead songs. Brilliant song, brilliant recording. And this guy shits all over it. Also, I don't know why one would make a bass video for this song. The part is great, it serves the song perfectly and has a great fuzz tone (the original I mean), but it's not much for showing off one's bass playing skills.
