LOL this guy is so badass, even while recording he plays in a powers stance. Also, the tone on that bass is unreal...

Rob is a beast on that bass. Even better - he's just a decent cool guy who loves to rock out.

Listen to Anthrax - they`ve always put the bass way up in the mix, and it`s tight. Metallica`s songs would be amazing with that kind of mix / production.

This dude makes BASS playing look so badass lol

[@Jordo246]

If I ever make a record with a band I will be intent on making the bass as big and audible as possible. I'm not a bass player but records where you hear the bass just sound so much better, it's probably the one thing about Metallica and a lot of metal bands that sucks the most. The bass just gets drowned out or is virtually non existent yet you listen to a band like Tool and the bass is so present it makes everything sound so much more tight.

[@tomsumner7746]

JoRdOguitarman1 it's why Iron Maiden have such a distinct sound

[@christopher5200]

Sad fact is, you'll do what the producer wants. That's his job

[@Wheresthepepsibismol]

I like Megadeth because the bass is huge in the mix compared to Metallica in the earlier Metallica albums the high end of the bass was present

[@aleisterbroley900]

Amen. I can't understand why Metallica has so little bass presence, especially being as influenced by NWOBHM bands as they were. Listening to a lot of those bands, the bass is usually up there, good and loud, with its own space in the mix, and it sounds killer. Metallica themselves had this sound going somewhat on their cover of "Blitzkrieg", one of their best sounding tunes imho.

[@sinistrality7883]

@@tomsumner7746 well for iron maiden the bass would have to be loud since the bassist is literally the leader of the band in iron maiden.

[@technologicalsingularity1788]

[@adrianvillanueva7826]

Dude Everyone know what Cliff was for Metallica, his fingers in the first albums from Metallica are priceless, but my boy Roberto is in another level, damn. He deserves more in Metallica for real

[@MrNostalgiaX]

I know some parts in extremely rapid-beat songs are almost impossible to play with fingers even if you use all 4 of your fingers to pluck, but it's still odd to see Robert Trujillo using a pick when playing bass. I still dig him. Probably one of the fastest fingerstyle bass players there are right now I've seen. Incredible. As hard as I try I cannot play that fast unless I cheat and skip a note here and there throughout the measures.

[@D3ft0ne]

[@gazss2584]

so basically they recorded the whole songs without rob then sent him to record alone ... poor rob

[@juv3ntin133]

no, that's not how it works. The drums are the only thing they record playing all at once, all the other instruments are recorded everyone on it's on. You can see both James and Kirk doing what Rob is doing here.

[@adsensedd]

When most bands record, it's common for band members to do their part and step out. After you've rehearsed the song 250 times, recorded it over many hours, you don't want to hear the guitarist or bass player doing 50 takes to get it "just right". The producer is the guy driving the show at that point, then the band listens and they might come back in to do alterations.

[@peppinodicorrado407]

Gaz SS cold attitude wen they trow million of buck at you

[@connor3244]

From my experience too, out of all instruments, bass is usually last. Drums, guitars, bass, vocals.

[@justray7871]

Too bad you can't here shit when he plays live its like he's bass is toned down I bet it has something to do with that contract agreement he signed when joining metallica cause he has so much potential

[@aleisterbroley900]

I honestly couldn't say much about the mix, other than it hurt my ears when I first tried to listen to it. The sheer compression alone was unpleasant, never have listened to the entire thing.

[@bigusdickus8596]

It's a shame that basically every Metallica album is kinda lacking in bass. I guess that's a draw back to deep chugging guitars that it kinda covers up the bass.

[@StrikerFin]

You need to get yourself some good headphones.

[@bigusdickus8596]

I should clarify I do not mean bass frequencies of which there are plenty. I mean the literal bass guitar parts.

[@idowork23]

You are kinda right but you can't ignore the bass sound in RTL and MOP albums, and the clear bass intros at Black Album. For the rest, i agree.

[@bigusdickus8596]

It's there but it's nowhere near as preset as on Kill 'em all which probably had the best bass sound.

2:35 "try to play a little more back" translation: Dont be the fucking bass monster you are and eat the whole damn song with your fingers.

[@Saimeren]

You understand that when he stands in the power stance, he's actually pushing his bass forward, and tilting it upward, and he's bent over it more often than not. Doing this allows him to see his bass more clearly, and help to not fuck up the music he's playing.

Does anyone know how to have a beautiful compressed Tone like Robert in this vidéo? I want to get a similar tone.

[@cjbrewer3843]

I know it's a year late, but bump your high mids, use stainless steel strings, have a low action, strong attack, and compress the hell out of it. That should get you in the ballpark. You can add a little overdrive to get a little more grit, just EQ the low end back in after the overdrive tries to suck it away

[@dupgab]

God, Death Magnetic was such a solid record. Something happened to those guys on that album. It was like they were hungry again. I guess Rick Rubin making them listen to everything they cut their teeth on in the early 80s paid off.

[@MasterOfPuppets929]

Exactly. On the ...And Justice For All album, you can barely hear the bass. But if you listened to enhanced bass, you can hear what Jason is doing. I think that if they turned the bass back up to the Master of Puppets album, than it would be AWESOME.
