I think it’s bottom 2 strings, it’s a gimmick. There are 8 string basses where they double the strings, the guy from cheap trick used one, Hendrix used one on a couple tracks. Basically a bass string and guitar string together for each one. Kinda 12 string guitar concept for bass. Not my thing but a cool one off sound if you can afford a ton of gear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be bloody difficult to play, I have a 12-string but stick pretty much to chords on it. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s more of a gimmick (not in the bad sense) just to be used on a tune or something if you’ve got lots of cash and walls of instruments. Yeah I have never been a 12 string fan either, I just don’t get why it exists, like I’ve never played something and thought “this needs a 12 string” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palfy Posted March 7, 2021 Report Share Posted March 7, 2021 Been listening to a fair bit of the Buzzcocks today, that sort of sound fires me up and makes me feel good to be alive, plus added benefit of getting the missus to leave me in peace for a couple of hours Bailey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted April 17, 2021 Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 Little hooked on this band at the moment. Very unexpected drop which made me curious and so glad I've kept listening them, their album is excellent Edit: apparently the girl does all the singing, the gentle stuff and metal stuff too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 Does it destroy any credibibility I have in here to own up to the fact that I've actually listened to and liked some Taylor Swift stuff in recent weeks (I actually don't really care because I like what I like so fuck it)? Nothing challenging but she writes a good "pop" song, probably if she heard a sixty-something was liking her she'd be horrified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit I was never really a fan of theirs, but their latest album (For Those Who Wish to Exist) is fantastic, thought that the orchestral version of ''Animals'' was a nice little spin too (seems that a lot of bands are doing orchestral stuff now, think it's all stemmed from Bring Me The Horizon doing a full set with one). Unless of course you mean actual architects, in which case I'm no builder either ... MikeO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless of course you mean actual architects, in which case I'm no builder either ... It's been going on long before BMTH. I meant more the style in general of Architects. They have some really heavy stuff but then ultra pop-like in the same song. Find it hard to listen to but they keep popping up on my metal recommendations so maybe I should just give them another go.

MikeO Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 See "virtual" Glastonbury today that people had paid £20 to watch had massive technical problems so they had to switch to free-to-air so watching a bit. https://watch.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/livestream-1/backup/livestream1.html?fbclid=IwAR3KXDpuLyipotddiIL4JQ4F10g2E-fkwAp9i_gHRkiXhFJyGEJu5gIItXE if you're interested.
