Bass Question

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I think you'll find it's in Am, not Em (you can usually apply that premise to 99% of Sisters songs), so:

a a a a | a a a a | a a a a | a a a a |
c c c c | f e | d d d d | f e |

Dear god, anyone who needs to ask how to play the Lucretia bass line shouldn't be playing guitar... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Most Sisters songs are in A or B as Lazarus says, except FALAA which seems to be in D.

Some songs are at slightly different pitches but work out the notes then apply them to fitting in with the easiest way of playing them. For example Possession is in A flat on the record but is actually played in A, Nine While Nine is in D flat on record, but is played in D.

obviously, the only important thing is that one holds the bass low enough.

I have this "thing" that a guy built for me...he calls it a "modified wide-range 7 string fretless slide bass" ...the damn thing takes piano strings too....the sound is great but I dont like the idae of breaking a string if I play it like a normal bass
