AmosJM Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I have a small request on your collective ears! I am playing bass in an 8 week Jazz workshop in Singapore and have been given the track King of the Lobby (Brecker Brothers) to play. I have been trying to get a tone similar to the synth tone used for the bass riff (bass and synth playing together?) on HX Stomp and came up short. I am especially keen on achieving the higher register (octave) tone in the bass riff. Any ideas about how to achieve this - I’ve been trying a very small delay mixed with subtle pitch shift but not quite cracking it? Moog type sounds I suppose … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njglover Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 You'll have to forgive me as I am not familiar with the band, but as I listen to it I don't hear any synth bass. Just a whole lot of funky slap bass. Does it only happen briefly on one particular section that I skipped over or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmosJM Posted December 21, 2018 Author Share Posted December 21, 2018 Thanks for responding. Good point - there is definitely some slap style playing but there are effects used with it which I am not familiar with. But there is also some really nice synth playing which compliments the bass and I would like to explore including those sounds too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADBrown Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I checked out the song as well and couldn't hear any synth bass parts, but plenty of slappin' ! If you are looking for synth effects I recommend starting in the Pitch/Synth category. Under stereo effects you will find the 3 OSC Synth effect. Under the legacy effects there are more synth effects from the m-series/FM4 pedals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
