Hey Dave,

You have visited a concert of Dread Zeppeling, right ?
I'm testing a few things here and I regard the bass guitar to play lower than actually possible in my view. So I wondered ...

Do the guys play a keyboard/synth for basses (maybe next to a normal bass guitar) ?

I am just questioning whether what I observe can be right at all ...

Thanks a lot.
Peter

honestly can't remember for sure... pretty sure I remember seeing a keyboard player to the left of stage in back, but whether he was synthesizing bass lines??... the bass player was up front and dramatic, he got lots of attention.  pretty gutsy bass at the concert too.

Thanks !

Regards,
Peter

I saw them around 1990, but all I can remember was Tortelvis having an assistant handing him white towels throughout the whole concert.

LOL!

The point of my question was that the electric basses throughout all the albums go the most low of all (Keb' Mo' comes close though);
Yesterday I was feeling my woofers for this, and in my perception this was even under 32Hz or so, and I don't see any electric bass go that low, unless de-tuned (strings more loose than normal). However, that would not create a nicely felt frequency as I did yesterday and merly would go in the direction of Crazy Horse (Neil Yong &) if you know what I mean.

But maybe I'm wrong and special E++ (blabla) string basses exist ...

If I'm not wrong, something is not right. ;)
But let's say that possibly I am able to squeeze out more "bass" than officially recognized. So, of course such a bass will not produce a nice sine, and from that base view anything can happen for lower frequencies. I mean, an upright bass is easily able to produce something like maybe 15Hz by means of putting a lot of resin on the bow and let it dance over the string. But *that* would be on/off sound and thus is not fair. But what I try to refer to is that per resonance, lower frequencies can emerge easily I think but the question is whether that ever could be reproduced nicely. So now I'm obviously referring to my speakers again and how they are tuned.

Maybe the mere point - or how I came to it in the first place : what I just described here (http://www.phasure.com/index.php?topic=2807.msg30520#msg30520) is also all over related to the bass behaviour of the system, and which I did *not* describe in there because I am not sure yet how it can exist yet. So, I can easily feel sub-low frequencies with good behaviour (!) which I can't hear because so low (or not loud enough). This wasn't so before. This is a new experience from only about "last day" and I felt it all over in that Dread Zeppelin bass ...
Do notice : In that link I said that my NOS1 is now flat on the floor so it can easily be false (LF).

-Which Dread Zeppelin album(s) do you have in mind?

Some of the members have studio background. They might know a thing or two about recording technique. Interesting bio here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dread_Zeppelin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dread_Zeppelin)
