Slipknot - Duality - Bass part

[@eyelesspulse1084]

I love how people say “why is the bass even there, you can’t hear it if it’s that low” yeah listen to a bass-less version of any slipknot song. RIP Paul

[@removefromme]

Bass is highly underappreciated. It's very vital for the overall sound. I've played bass instruments in band when I was in middle school. It has its role and I don't expect everyone to understand it.

[@alicethemaliceofficial]

SAIF THE EDGE I play bass and without me and other bassists music is empty

[@jamievally3176]

Bass is more a feeling than a sound It fills the song

[@gaigemercado2763]

It serves a purpose. While maybe indistinguishable at times, you’d very much notice if it was removed.

[@Daniilchesunefedov]

Where can I listen to a bass-less version of any slipknot song? Are there some on youtube? I didn't find

[@armandklink4843]

One of the only Slipknot song that has crushing and loud bass. Thankfully the whole Vol.3 has this sound

[@user-xw6uh3yp7g]

Armand Klink all the albums had pretty loud bass lol, maybe with the exception of wanyk

[@armandklink4843]

@@user-xw6uh3yp7g AHIG and Gray Chapter completely drowned the bass in the mix. Self Titled and Iowa had a really audible bass but nothing in comparison how incredibly loud it is in Vol.3 and I dont mind that. Slipknot sounds best when everyone is loud and clear

[@user-xw6uh3yp7g]

Armand Klink in all hope is gone I could hear the bass just fine, I guess the grey chapter had fairly quite bass. MFKR was definitely the album with the loudest bass though

[@armandklink4843]

@@user-xw6uh3yp7g MFKR was a demo album, so it also sounded like one. Altho I still kinda like it. Slipknot (sic 0.5) and Do Nothing/Bitchslap are still stuff I could easily go back and listen to, not even mentioning the original Gently.

[@campbellmunn5326]

Self-titled easily has the loudest bass. Vol. 3 had some of the quietest bass.

[@JorgeLeitner]

Now that's a sick tone.

Hum I think youy misunderstood the video It's not me playing, it's the original Paul Gray Part

[@stephenogorek2911]

You can tell because if you listen really closely you can hear the vocals and guitars bleeding in the bass track so it is the bass track solo in what ever DAW he was using

[@sebass_9212]

There are few bass lines that sound as heavy and sick as this one. This song is really a masterpiece.

[@rockrenegade]

I can hear the clips between edits as though the producer didn't cross-fade the take composites (which is really lazy for a major label production, no wonder they weren't impressed with Rubin).

[@apileofbeans]

Me too, little pops where the cuts aren't merged, just put next to each other, there's no transition.

[@tehpeasant]

Rubin isnt doing editing work. Its the fault of the engineer

[@yewstew8312]

Corey said Rubin sat his fat ass on a couch and hired sound engineers to do everything

[@skunkproductionsMLA]

Yeah sounds like pops. :(

[@arrell]

Could it just be poor quality audio? I'm hearing a lot of artifacts, across the entire song.

[@lauragarciarodriguez9090]

the bass is drop B is so good the sound an the lows and midles of the bass is so good

[@stevenlee1075]

Aka standard 5 string tuning

[@snow15243]

@@stevenlee1075 nope, you're thinking of B standard. drop B is tuned BF#BE. 5 strings are tuned to BEADG.

[@stevenlee1075]

@@snow15243 oop I’ve been playing it wrong this whole time 🤦‍♂️ crap

[@taylor0367]

I knew the one he taught in Behind the Player was different! Why did he do that I wonder? Sure the one he showed us was way easier to follow, but that's just because it followed the guitars so much.

[@taylor0367]

Actually never mind it's not THAT different

[@Gabivador]

I guess after the studio version got recorded he just played it differently live and that's what you get in the video

[@arrell]

Paul even mentions at the start of the playthrough in 'Behind the Player', that there are variations compared to the original.

Paul Gray

[@DJDartLord]

Once you isolate the tracks. The songs all take on a whole new meaning. What Paul Gray sacrificed by switching to a pick was more than made up by his subtle nuances and variations. In a 9 piece metal band, it's going to be hard to stand out as a bassist. Paul picked every moment to cut through the mix and I really love how he locked with the drums during the verses in this one.

[@moddifillopro9962]

Wait but this version is not like the lesson of Paul Gary "behind the player"

[@okbill18yearsagoedited25]

Paul has many versions that he plays of this song

[@Pinkerton03]

Yeah he tends to play less nuance versions of his songs live due to consistency

[@AnduNeedle]

I don't think it's the original song. I mean, the verse is a completely different thing that Paul used to play. Check it out on his lesson.

[@Gabivador]

That's whatever track Slipknot sent to Rock Band. Either Paul changed his way of playing it after recording it (and that's what he's teaching in his lesson), or that's another recording (unlikely), but that's definitely him playing

[@campbellmunn5326]

It’s a different version. The way you know if it’s the real bass track is if there’s white noise and you can hear the song faintly in the background

[@eyelesscrown7346]

No that’s just how Paul played it live. If you listen closely in the song you can tell this is the real one

[@jnicholas4706]

i agree rythm seems to be off in the chorus

[@dodjiegarcia2320]

Just curious. Does Slipknot lock to a programmed click?

[@Gabivador]

They definitely didn't for the eponymous album, but after that I'm pretty sure they did

[@Julian66666666666666]

I'm pretty sure that they never used a click track until Jay Weinberg joined and recorded the Gray Chapter

[@popstore123211]

They did on AHIG

[@asherkolars1283]

@@Julian66666666666666 I don't think they did then either.

[@Mrbeard-po4yj]

Paul plays this song differently in the bass lesson video for some reason.

[@santiagoperalta4135]

Can someone tell me how I get Paul's tone, for example, what pedal does he use there?

[@mrscientific4956]

I think it's more about the bass itself and the amp. He doesn't seem to be using any pedals, mostly the sound is coming from amp, and the wood bass is made of. Also strings.

[@nostromoalien2]

Ibanez atk I believe he used at this time into a peavy 1000 headliner and an 810 cab. He used a RAT distortion pedal. Don’t know if any of that gear would have been used in the studio however

[@chesterbe76]

@@mrscientific4956the wood doesn't mean anything 😂

[@SgtZaqq]

Humbucker pickup(s?), new strings, scooped mids, heavy pick attack. No pedals necessary. Maybe a compressor pedal.
