    You and postones have got to be one of the greatest rhythm cores in a band.
    Just beautiful.

    • @trottingfoxinc
      @trottingfoxinc 8 ปีที่แล้ว +46

      +TYFLOL I feel like that's already what they do, or something close to it. Out of all the Djent bands' bassists Amos is almost certainly the most funk-influenced. You don't see many bassists even not use picks anymore, as a jazz bassist who later got into metal it seems unfortunate to me

    • @TYFLOL
      @TYFLOL 8 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Andy Shores Yes, that's ofcourse true, but I wish they'd take it to another level... They have some cool bass moments but I'd just like them to be funkier

    Nice one Amos! Hopefully you can post more bass videos for most of the Polaris songs! I for one would love to see the "Cages" being played live. I was finally able to wrap my head around the rhytm in that song - being 15 notes of bass per "section", totalling up to 72 beats (or 15x4 + 12) for a larger "section" of music. Weird, but beautiful :)

      This weird and awesome bass has a lot more open mid-range that it sounds like his new tone needed.
      Definitely has less growl down low, but the mid-range/treble are more open and airy.

      Lukas Wagner I don't think so.
      Kiesel didn't offer an option for a MM style pickup for the Vader, so Amos probably threw away the original pickups and drilled a bigger cavity for the MM pickup

    • @sethnicholls7861
      @sethnicholls7861 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I was thinking the same thing. Whether he routed this bass out for a MM pickup, or he was experimenting with its position, it's definitely a proto type thang.
