I'm going to comment some of your posts later yet right now I want to tell you guys and gals that after I've read all these posts featuring bass riffs I start to believe that Come As You Are by Nirvana was a bass too. What do you think?
Nirvana "Come As You Are" is a guitar riff with a phase shifter or flanger used for the effect! That spinning/twirling/springing sound is created with one. Here are two classic examples!
The main riff (the DA DA DA DA...) was written on the bass. The song starts with the guitar playing it, the bass and drums come in a few bars later. I believe the song has both the guitar and bass playing the same notes (but the guitar playing higher notes) for most of the song, with the guitar solos and fills added on top. When played live with one guitar, the bass plays the riff alone for much of the song.
It can often be hard to seperate guitar/bass in songs. One trick is to swing the balance of your speakers right or left to seperate instruments in the mix. Headphones also help too.
Thanks. That did help. I also read somewhere that the main riff is bass.
