    Request Modern Guilt by Beck

    Hey there, I'm hoping someone out there has bass tab for Modern Guilt by Beck? Can't seem to find it on the usual tab sites. There is a brief mention for part of the song on Songsterr that says: Bass plays: A 6 0 2 (x8 each note) and then E 2 6 (x4 each note) repeat But I'm hoping for the full...

    Stoner rock/metal with modern sounding instruments

    I'm a fan of the genre, but it seems the magic is baked in with vintage or NOS instruments. Has anyone seen a stoner rock/metal band that has crafted a sound around the more modern tones of the late 80's/early 90's? I'm thinking super strats, EMGs, etc.

    Modern music

    I thought I didn't like it, but I just turned on the TV, and there was a program showing recent pop (Meghan Trainor, et al) and I'm enjoying it. This is very scary!

    « Vintage » and « modern » sounding pickups

    Being kinda new bass player still wondering wich sound I’m after, I’d like a few clues about « vintage » and « modern » - sounding pups... How do they differ? I presume clearer for vintage and fatter for modern... And the DP249s? They’re supposed to be « vintage ». What’s to expect? Many thanks.

    Are modern amps "harsher"?

    I think they are. I really do. It's been discussed to death on here before in the context of class D vs everything else and the discussion always ends with people saying its not the class of the amp, but the designer's choices. Having said that, are modern designs trending "harsher"? I feel...

    Joyo Orange Juice / modern "grind" sound ?

    I found this video while surfing around, and I'm curious now. The sound reminds me of Darkglass a bit, that kind of modern "metal" tone with lots of high mids, grind and clank. Does anyone own this pedal and can tell me if you can really get this kind of tone from it ? Or is it more his bass...

    80's or 90's jackson/ charvel pj vs modern pj basses sound differnt?

    So how would or has the sound changed on basses in general. Other than a pointy head stock what has changed? I see an old charvel for sale local, that is a pj set up 850xl how would that compared to a fender or the like. I know some people say tone wood but other than that.

    What do you think of this bass for a "modern" sound, opposite of my beloved Gibson EB-0

    Howdy all, I have two vintage Gibson basses, an EB-0 and an EB-3. To me, they are as good as any P-bass with the right amp. Awesome old school tone. But, I would like something more modern sounding, something to slappa da bass with. I'm probably a collector more than a player and want...
