SpacedHaitian Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 I'm dying for all of you to hear the band Stump (1985-1988). They are from Ireland and have 1 of the most amazing Bassists Iv'e ever heard. I come from the school of Kev, Mick Karn, Les Claypool, Trevor Dunn, etc... Everyone NEEDS to hear this guy The albums are out of print, but if anyone posts their email, I'd be happy to send some stuff to them!!....Anyways, I'm mostly curious as to HOW he plays the way he does. I have been playing for 20 years now, and the technique he uses amazes me everytime I hear it....They are from England, and are kinda a punky,quirky Captain Beefheart, or a British Primus.......Let me know!! www.soundclick.com/thespacedhaitians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexclaber Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Thanks! I'm speechless... almost. I have a few ideas about how he gets that sound but none of them seems quite right - like Wooten/Claypool/Fieldy? dropped into an '80s Beefheart/MrBungle/Minutemen melée. Nuts! Listening to it a second time - I think my brain is melting...

SpacedHaitian Posted December 8, 2004 Author Share Posted December 8, 2004 I hope some of the emails worked! peace until tomorrow...and please leave feedback here about Stump.....I more concerned with possible theories about how he gets the "Trill", hummingbird like sounds...Seems to fast for fingers, but I may be wrong.... www.soundclick.com/thespacedhaitians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy c Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Whoa! That is some sick playing! The main bass line on the Round Bottom song is mind-boggling. The music isn't my cup of tea, it sounds more like Devo to me than Capt. Beefheart, but it has sounds you are unlikely to hear anywhere else. Free download of my cd!.

SpacedHaitian Posted December 9, 2004 Author Share Posted December 9, 2004 Thanks for checking them out people!!..... whether your into their sound or not, his playing is still unmistakably something!!.... Still though, does anyone have any idea how he does those fast trills you hear in the songs..(It's pretty much a signature on 90% of his songs) I know he plays with his fingers, but it almost sounds like a drill or drumsticks on the strings! Any ideas.....Anyone else want songs emailed to them, post me an email....!! Thanks again....!! chrisofdoom, I tried to email you songs, but I don't think you have the email memory..3 of them came back, but I think 1 made it through www.soundclick.com/thespacedhaitians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
