[@lan-lan-looo]

6:27 love this part

[@joelonbass]

Super fun to play that part as well!

[@raylenlovesiv]

i know nothing about bass, but i can never hear it in songs whereas i can seperate every other instrument but in a few sleep token songs i can really hear it, this is literally amazing. i also love how when the music is so loud i feel the vibrations in my feet lol

[@joelonbass]

Thank you so much! That means a lot 😄

[@biggsdickley1563]

That tone is unbelievable, front to back you did an amazing job and you’re a great player 🤙

[@avawinters6184]

Damn, the timing was so fucking clean, nice job! Great tone, I love how there isn’t too much dirt on it, and the synth sound at the start is top notch. Incredible work!

[@joelonbass]

Thank you so much! Always love bass tones with just a little bit of grit, so glad you enjoyed it

[@avawinters6184]

[@ialonesongwriting5650]

Would love to jam this with you. Love it!

Nicely done, sounds great! What tuning are you using?

Thanks so much! Tuning is Bb standard for this song

[@RagingBassilisk]

@@joelonbass Sweet, thanks!

[@LeoKim1105]

Where can I find tabs for this wanna play in my 5 string bass

[@joelonbass]

Hey @opparyuu - I learnt this one by ear so unfortunately don’t have tabs but I’m confident there will be some floating around online 🙂

[@LeoKim1105]

​@@joelonbass what tuning did you use?

[@primaljackal]

Imagine if Sleep Token’s bassist knew how to make something sound this good

[@joelonbass]

That’s really nice of you, thanks so much!

[@metalavenger23]

Man Sheldon Dingwall is very much the genius the metal world needed. He unintentionally made the perfect bass for downtuning, and distortion.

[@samenger1508]

Wait why did you play on the last strings and then use an octaver to lower your notes by one octave ? Why not play directly on the two first strings ? (i'm just wondering really)

[@joelonbass]

Good question - it does look weird to be honest. To get the ‘bass synth’ sound it works better to octave down higher strings - just ends up sounding better for that effect ☺️

[@joelonbass]

Oh and Archetype Rabea’s synth tracks really well on high bass notes but pretty poorly on low bass notes so it was much cleaner.

[@samenger1508]

@@joelonbass Oh okay thank you for the answer ! And yeah while watching i was like "hum i don't play bass but is it supposed to be THAT low ?"

[@joelonbass]

@@samenger1508 Definitely weird to see, but sounds really great for the synth style sound.

[@sasiswiss]

October Ends please🙏"

[@clubstylesporty1576]

this is insane would you share the helix preset

[@joelonbass]

Thanks so much! Helix was only a portion of the signal chain, the rest used the synth section of neural dsp’s Archetype Rabea. So unfortunately on its own the helix preset won’t be the same 😅

[@joelonbass]

Actually now I’m not sure if I’m remembering correctly. I’ll check when I’m home!

[@JoeGillanBass]

yoooo we got the same bass

[@joelonbass]

Yoooo! Gotta love Dingwall 👏

[@JoeGillanBass]

@@joelonbass Can't go back to anything else now

[@joelonbass]

@@JoeGillanBass absolutely. This one is my second, hope to have an ABZ one day!

[@ravendevino6419]

Fourth ST fan I've met who owns a Dingwall, lol. Truly the perfect bass for the job.
