Nothing But MM

[Melv]

Went to see Hoobastank yesterday and i was very pleased to see nothing but Musicman Basses. Glad to know that he knows where gd tone comes from

 

[jongitarz]

Guess who put all those basses together?

 

[phatduckk]

ive seen a lot more mm basses on mtv, mtv2 and fuse lately ...

the dude from avenged sevenfold uses a sterling ... i cant really remember what the names of the other bands are but I'm definately seeing an increased # of mm's in rock now

I was flipping through the channels the other day and caught a chevelle video. Man that bass player has a really cool tone coming from his MM basses!!!

 

[AdrianDeBlk]

I'm not too impressed with a lot of the bands I've*** seen with MM basses lately. Or Spector or whatever else I can think of. I'm just not impressed with any of the bands in general. But I do know that a good % of players that I really do respect play MM's a good deal of the time, like Justin Chancellor, a personal favorite of mine. When I saw Chevelle's bassist playing MM I had to wonder if he was going for a similar sound... at least subconsciously. But I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

Funny I thought chancellor used a Wal Bass. . Personally I dont care much for modern radio myself but every once in a while a new rock band will catch my ear that I really like and chevelle happens to be one of them.

I stand corrected Chancellor did use a mm bass for a while then switched to playing Wal basses during the anemia recording.

On VH1 top 20 Countdown today

#3 song by Switchfoot featured a honey blonde (or trans gold) StingRay 4 w/Maple neck . . . nice

 

[midopa]

I reckon I saw the bassist from Switchfoot with a similar finish on a Sterling in the "Dare You to Move" (?) music video.

You reckoned right.

 

[skabassist13]

*cough* Tony*cough* Levin*cough*

 

[shaver]

yeh, i read that flea influence too in the bass player, or bass guitar magazine. he's been usen that bass for like 10 years or somethen like that?

 

[Aragorn35016]

*cough* Tony*cough* Levin*cough*

Yeah to me Levin is one of the first people that truly showed people what a MM bass is capable of doing. That man can milk any sound you can imagine from a MM bass.

 

[Franky]

flea used musicman (and still does at his home).
he used stinrays in from 1983 - 1995 for albums (he used a stingray on aeroplane)
now he uses modulus basses

 

[jubjub721]

thought we already knew that


well

every time i hear lesser simpson and hillary duff i think

wow

musicman

 

[Mantaray]

I've seen in CD:UK quite a few MM basses, BUT actually you can't hear the bass AT ALL. Not to mention that in most music shows here they have a particular habit of never showing the bass player on the camera. Only the singer and the guitar player.

I saw the video of Ashlee Simpson on SNL where she walked off stage, and her bass player played a sterling.. Not that anyone cares what Ashlee Simpson's bass player plays... Probably got fired now anyway.
