Could I Play Bass With Animals As Leaders? | The Woven Web

I extracted the "bass" to create a play along so all the bass you hear is mine. I've always loved this band, and have known Tosin for over a decade now. Learning this song, recording my version of the bass part, and posting it to YouTube is quite the ass-kicking for my technique, and it's a fantastic challenge to get away from doing the stuff I normally do.

For the overdriven subby bridge I used a Darkglass Microtubes X Ultra and the MXR Bass Octave Deluxe.

Just to be clear, AAL doesn't need a bass player, I was just curious as to what it might be like to play with a band I've listened to and admired for so long.

I've always thought I'd like Animals As Leaders more if they had a bass player and this just proved that yes, I like it more with bass.

Janek's time feel is just unreal. Simply unreal.

Could you guys imagine Janek sitting in with AAL on tour? What a sight to behold

[Jaybuloo]

Wow, Janek. Sick chops, especially on the sections that Tosin and Javier double-thumb. I love what you add to the track. AAL are just fantastic. One of my favourite live bands. And Matt Garstka might be my absolute favourite drummer at present. He is amazingly talented.

You're about to make a ton of bassist sell their Dingwalls and go back to a normal scaled bass 😂. You absolutely crushed this! I hope Tosin reaches out to take you on tour!

I LOVE IT JANEK!!! I HAVE LITERALLY SAT THROUGH THEIR CONCERT THINKING "dude, this would sound so much fuller if it had a bottom"
thank you for bringing the bass.

[KrlosSanAvi]

[SquareWaveSymphonies]

As usual you're absolutely kiling it! Great tone! Love it!

Man! Janek's plucking hand on the double-thumbing guitar part is flawless and effortless. Nice bass tone!

[donilicon]

Best playing I've heard in a long time, fuego! 🤙

[virtuosomaximoso]

The bass line over the thump part rounds out everything perfectly.

[benw]

Wow, this is beyond what I expected. I would have been happy to listen to much simpler bass playing on this song, but this was incredible!

I have been a fan of bith you and AAL, but it would never even cross my mind that I will hear one play the other's song. You absolutely nailed it Janek and made my day!
