Frosty Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 One for the guitar-gurus... what guitar is being used? Assume some kind of bass guitar.And my knowledge of guitars, on a scale of 1-10, is about 0. Many indie-rock and some alternative rock bands have a distinctive sound from one, maybe two, types of guitars. The best example I could find is 1979, Smashing Pumpkins (last song playing when I parked at work this morning). I know some of Pearl Jam has a similar sound - just trying to find the right song. Lurch the stalker and Fruity 2

The bass on 1979 is very subtle and as far as I am aware is mirrored by the rhythm guitar. but its pretty much standard bass player. i would say pretty much all indie/alternative bass riffs have been influenced in part by Kim Deal or Kim Gordon...but that is a slight generalisation!

Stretch Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Somewhere at the end of last year i missed the release of this album..but quickly catching up before the follow on album "salutations" being released on my birthday in March. An incredibly reflective album understandably because of the following reason: ‘Ruminations' is one of Conor Oberst's most personal records — and it was a surprise, even for its creator. He didn't intend to make an album — he was trying to recover from exhaustion after he was rattled by a health scare, a cyst on his brain. But when he left New York, N.Y., and moved back to his hometown of Omaha, Neb., the songs started coming. He recorded ‘Ruminations' on piano, guitar and harmonica in 48 hours during the winter after he moved home. The result is a collection of brave, dark songs that confront Oberst's thoughts during that time head-on.  Â

It sounds to me as though you're recognising the eq/flange effect especially on Just Like Heaven. Is this the type of thing you mean? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnDjtRP1Azs
