The booklet indicates that more than one was used (5 string and fretless)...but I would also like to know this.

I used a 5 string fretted Warwick of some sort and an Ibanez Gary Willis fretless.

Thanks Asgeir!
While we're on the subject, I always wondered why the recording of the bass wasn't in the "Making of Epic" video...

thanks! i liked your low-frequencies on that album.
I don't know why the fans generally don't like EPIC very much... for me that album sets a evolution to the sound of Borknagar... I don't know... I just feel Epic has a better production... yeah that's obvious... but on the musics of EPIC there's no gaps. everything is filling in the songs ... well not that I'm right... it's just how I perceive it. epic is as great as quintessence, taoc, empiricism in my oppinion

Yeah that bugged me too! I was hoping to see Asgeir hop off the kit and start rocking some bass tracks.

Not a question but still worth saying anyway: for those of you who don't know Asgeir will be doing session drums on Code's new album.
Who are Code you ask: http://www.myspace.com/codeblackmetal
...yes this was an excuse to plug one of my favorite bands but still massive thanks to Asgeir for stepping up to the task.

That was nice that he let you use it...
What is it with all the Spiral Architect guys and being able to play just about any instrument invented???Oyvind sings but can also play drums, guitar and bass
Asgeir, you can obviously drum, but now I see u can play bass as well, and I've heard you can play guitar well as well...
I'm sure both guitarists can play other things as well as Lars... My hat comes off to you guys!!!
EDIT: +rep for the photo and the cool Nevermore shirt...

Well, I'm originally a guitarist – and play more guitar than drums. Maybe I'll have my thrash album out next year.

Really??? I never knew that! Are you as good as Steinar and Andreas, and play drums cos you're much better than them at drums, or do you just sorta play guitar for fun now?
