No, it was definitely Megadeth. It was a small, pneumatic-jawed Vic Rattlehead above the drummer that fell partially.Quote:

Run it through an octave pedal and the low E on a guitar will most certainly sound like a bass. (Cf Hey Hey My My (Into the Black) by Neil Young--Neil's guitar is filtered by an old Mutron Octave Divider--makes it sound like a train laying on the brakes).Quote:

No thread about bass lines would be complete without a mention of all the great lines laid down by Motown house bassist James Jimmerson. My favorite is "I Want You Back".
And on a more avant-garde note, the late Jaco Pastorius did some amazing work on a couple of Joni Mitchell albums. Check out "Refuge of the Roads" or "Cotton Avenue".
I'm kind of a pedal-geek. An octave divider adds, in addition to the note that is played on the clean signal, the same note, only an octave (or two) lower. The old octave pedals were kind of primitive and often had difficulty "tracking" the signal coming from the guitar and ending with the amplifier, so they kind of "burped" a lot trying to keep up with the signal notes, resulting in the screeching train sound. The more modern ones track nicely, but don't sound nearly as cool and anarchic.Quote:

My old band's guitarist had this great vintage octave pedal...I can't remember the model, but I think he picked it up second hand at Music-go-Round. It actually worked quite well, but I'm familiar with the "burping" sounds you mention.Quote:

I have, but they're generally jazz guys who aren't doing session work anymore. There are a good number of musicians active today who are the absolute masters of their craft--you just don't know of them.Quote:
