If only i didnt suck

i can play most of it, its just that its so freakin fast, soo much tremelo, but if i would join i wouldnt keep these lines, then the bass doesnt do anything, it just copies guitar lines, i would probably rewrite some of the lines. Maybe ill audition, probably wouldnt join em though, i like the band, but i like it a little bit more prog influenced rather than grind influenced

16ths at 250 bpm? Only way I can pull it off is with a pick..bleck.
Would be awesome to play for them though.

i dont know how clear your 16ths can even be at 250 bpm. that is insanely fast.

There's really no way to make it sound good..I mean that a powertab in guitar form so I don't know..Surely they don't expect you to play like that.

yea i mean its bassically impossible fingerstyle!

Unless you use all 4 fingers to pick!!!!

yea but thats pointless, then you lose all the rhythmic quality of the bass and it just becomes a thicker stringed guitar

What else is it supposed to sound like when you're blasting out 16th notes at 250 BPM??? My point was merely that it isn't impossible to play that fast without using a pick. At that speed, pick or fingers, there is no way to make clean fills/riffs.

Cheers.

Not impossible..But damn near impossible to make it sound good..

THE REASON MIKE TURNER IS NO LONGER IN DECREPIT BIRTH.

11.13.06 - We feel that now is the time to come out publicly and let everyone know what happened in the situation of our ex-guitarist Mike Turner. Here is a bulletin from our local TV news station KSBW news:

"SANTA CRUZ, Calif. -- A Soquel man has been arrested on charges of child molestation and sexual battery.

Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office officials said Michael Turner was arrested Friday and booked into the county jail with bail set at $450,000.

Investigators said Turner recorded himself on video inappropriately touching at least two children and sexually touching an unconscious adult.

Turner was also found to have hidden a camera in his bathroom, violating the privacy of several people, according to authorities.

Sheriff's officials said the investigation into the case continues and that there are believed to be more victims."

We are absolutely sickened at this, as we had no clue of the situation. This news has deeply troubled us over the past few days since we found out. We thought we knew Mike over the years but his deceptive ways just show us what a monster of a human he is, we trusted him and he violated people very close to us. We have no sympathy for him as we are all coping with the severity of this, it is hitting all of us on a deeply personal level. Our best wishes and prayers go out to the victims, and families that have been affected by this horrible crime. We will do all that we can to help the authorities press full charges against Mike, as we feel that he should receive the maximum penalty that the law will allow, even though that would never make up for what he did. We are asking that fans of Decrepit Birth give us their support and understanding, and to not hold us responsible for his actions. Mike is not an original member of the band, he joined a couple of years back and never contributed to the musical aspect, he was basically a live guitarist. This is the worst thing that has happened to us over the 10 years that Decrepit Birth has been a band. Our emotions are very twisted over this and all we can say is that we hope Mike Turner rots in prison forever.

what about 32nds at 931273916163912631 bpm?

I can play 64ths at 931273916163912631 bpm with my anal hairz.

This is exactly what I think.

Besides that, you will not here it on bass anyway.
A friend of mine recorded a cd with some riffs which were not nearly as fast as 250bpm, and he recorded both 16ths (as the guitars did) and 8ths, and no one was able to hear any difference between the two tracks.

yea if it is played too loudly then you will have to mix the sound in louder than it actually is.
