double bass on tour
 

well, i was at the sonic youth shows in paris, with a 4 line-up.

now we have mark ibold on tour but... which fucking songs are sonic youth playing with a double bass line up on tour?

thanks in advance! i'm really curious!

Big Bottom

kim's got the bootycakes, alright.

Every member is playing bass now. Not just Kim and Mark.

i heard steve actually somehow rigged it to where his drum kit was a bass for this tour.

doesn't victor wooten join them for kool thing in some cities?

Yeah. I really hope that he plays in MN.

dude, he's like if yngwie malmsteem and geddy fuckin' lee had a kid with 30 fingers. when he plays, it's like "bleeeadadodododododdwadaaaaaoooow"

He slaps the SHIT out of that bass.

Steve's contraption is fucking ace.

scrotally.

Stanley Clarke, Jaco's ghost, Billy Sheehan and Jeff Berlin are all making guest appearances on this tour.

The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand.

you going to the missoula show?

^ I love Meat Puppets!

Are you going to the State Fair show?

I will. He'll be too busy slapping up that bass to hear probably.

Lee and I have a date in the bathroom after the show. I'm hitting that. Steve can join too. Fuck Thurston. He can jerk off.

Yeah man, Steve's been tearing it up this tour!!!!

Sorry, had to do it....

DOUBLE PEDAL HXC!

I can play the double pedal so good, nucca.

That's what I thought this thread meant at first. I was disappointed.

I'm pretty good with it, but I honestly don't like to use it that much with most of the music I play.

The drum teacher I had for about a year "specialized" in double bass. But I could never afford a pedal. It's really just a matter of how much you do it. He had a book of beats that was excellent at progressing double bass coordination, though.
