The 10 Greatest Synth Bass Lines Through History (and how to get the sounds)

8/1/2020

Today we’re lucky enough to have one of my favourite bassists with us...

The legendary, Ian Allison!

Seriously, Ian is super talented, and if you haven’t checked out his course - How To Get Hired: A Creative Approach to Session Bass Playing - put it on your "to-do" list RIGHT NOW! It's that good.

In today’s video Ian is going to show you how to recreate some of the most awesome keyboard bass parts that I’ve ever heard, but he’s going to do it with a Jazz Bass and some regular FX pedals.

With so much synth bass in modern music, it’s a skill that the musicians around you will really appreciate.

In this lesson you’re going to learn:

  • How to replicate synth sounds with a bass guitar.
  • Why your most important tool is an octave pedal.
  • How to use an envelope filter to emulate synth bass.
  • Why the beauty is in the repetition!
  • And much more..

As always, see you in the shed…

Scott :)
