Re: I have an idea. Am I crazy? Bass as bass+rhythm
Aceman, I think it would be a great idea. If you have some good audio online service, can you share it, recommend something great? For example, like this one ( url: https://traktrain.com/filter/free-beats ), that I got recently. It has every genre I like, even beats and bass audio tracks. And they get new tracks every single day.Last edited by parkerss85; 04-02-2020, 03:04 AM.

Re: I have an idea. Am I crazy? Bass as bass+rhythm

bass > ABY >
chain one
pog clone octave pedal to bounce up
behringer Pitch shifter that adds a third or fifth
into a DS1 or Fuzz whatever
chain two
clean bass side
a bit of chorus
to the bass amp
this is what the guy from Royal Blood does
keep in mind its just a drummer and a bass player

The bass player would have to mainly stick to roots or it would get very confusing sounding quickly. If the bass player was walking and the "synthetic" rhythm guitar was following the harmony would be all over the place.

If the song is weak, bells and whistles will just be lipstick on a pig.

Why not just run the wet chain straight into a real guitar amp while you’re at it?

I think it's a good idea and you should try it. Power trios can sound good during the guitar solo if the rhythm section is killing it. Like Venom. They kill. It sounds super full. Or like Royal Blood only has a bass and has 1 amp clean and 1 dirty. I think you should experiment tho.

Re: I have an idea. Am I crazy? Bass as bass+rhythm
It would kind of sound like a guitar was playing power chords, but it seems like an awful lot of hassle. That's no reason not to do it, though.
A lot of my favorite rock bands are one guitar groups. I like that in a Pantera song, there's no rhythm guitar during the solo and Rex (bass player) plays a little more to fill in the space. If I were playing in a band, I'd just make my part a little busier during the solo. The whole "it sounds just like the album" bit does nothing for me.
