Fender is one of the two major electric guitar brands, at least out of the US, but generally considered globally.

JoshHOST

75:37

They have the Telecaster and the Stratocaster, as well as the P-Bass and the J-Bass.

JoshHOST

75:42

These are the basic core designs of electric guitar and bass.

JoshHOST

75:47

You have heard a Stratocaster in 80% of the music you have listened to.

We don't, we don't want him having drum kit somewhere in the shed or whatever.

Brendan WebbGUEST

40:58

So it's like, Yeah, so I guess I started playing, I think I first got this, the first guitar that I got was a bass guitar, this Kenora, must have been Korean or Japanese, P-Bass copy.

Brendan WebbGUEST

41:16

Yeah.

Brendan WebbGUEST

41:17

But that was so I could play in the band with my friends from high school, which was just kind of like a jam band, like a kind of cover band.

Vig would often pull each track through a unique tone stack so that when the tracks were summed, the frequencies would sit together organically rather than clash.

speaker_1UNKNOWN

2:40

The bass, handled by Krist Novoselic with his Fender Precision, provided more than just low-frequency support.

speaker_1UNKNOWN

2:47

Its rhythmic groove locked the guitar riffs into a tighter feel, making the entire section sound heavier without excessive compression.

speaker_1UNKNOWN

2:56

Dave Grohl's drums were recorded on a sixty-inch room that gave natural room ambiance, but also kept enough attack in the snare and kick to punch through the dense guitar mass.

Later, they layered in a small acoustic pickup from a Fender Precision to give extra mid-range definition, making sure each octave remains clear when you drop down into the verse.

speaker_1UNKNOWN

5:16

Vocals were recorded with a Neumann U87 set to a hyper-accurate high-pass filter off for that extra punch in the upper mids.

speaker_1UNKNOWN

D.D. Ramone's bass wasn't just looping chords.

speaker_2UNKNOWN

1:24

He was laying down an almost metronomic pulse that let those three-note power songs breathe and gave the rest of the band breathing room to shout, scream, or just be stupidly loud.

speaker_2UNKNOWN

1:38

The first time I caught a live set at CVGB's with the Ramones pounding back there, I realized that in a genre built on minimalism, every instrument that survived had to make an impact.

speaker_2UNKNOWN

1:51

The bass was often the unsung architect keeping the whole chaotic machine from collapsing into total noise.

speaker_2UNKNOWN

2:00

speaker_2UNKNOWN

He was also a lyricist and a melodic mind that turned simple eighth note chugging into memorable hooks.

In songs like Rockaway Beach, you can hear that relentless downstroke pattern that acts like a metronome.
