Bass solo in The Lotus Eater?

[Slaydon]

I was just listening to the song and I noticed something I hadn't before, oddly. It sounds like there is a bass interplaying with the electric piano or whatever the keyboard instrument it is that plays that weird funk-jazz solo. Am I wrong??

There are always awesome bass lines hidden under the layers, if you listen closely. But other than that, I have no idea what you're talking about.

Gee, yer a real turkey arent you? It might've been the bass keys...was that a clavinet or a wurlitzer or fender rhodes??

What section are you talking about? Time in the song would make it easier

 

[Nasty-Fire]

Umm well... a bass solo? Are you sure? Put the exact length and time in the song, so everyone can listen to it.

if you mean the part with the guitar playing the wah, then yeah, i hear it.

I thought there was just ONE such solo in the song. I thought you'd all know what I am talking about. But I guess not. It comes just before the last lines that are sung in the song. Dont know the exact time and right now can't bother to look it up.

 

[To rid you disease]

i think ure mistaking an ordinary (but good) bass riff for a solo. also, the the keyboard thingy is more of a melody/riff that is repeated and neither that a solo.

 

[Lateralus14]

Yea, anything repeated like that is not a solo.

 

[wut wut]

It took you this long to notice the bass during that part? The bass is one of the most up front parts of that section (besides the keys).

Apparently, yes. So I was right.

There's some funky bass combining with the drums to put some awesome groove on the SNES keyboards. Nothing complicated, just the right notes at the right places (and the right spaces - what you don't play is more important than what you do play!) for a tasty end result.

I love that part.

It's the bassline.
