  • TTNG (formerly This Town Needs Guns) recently shed 25% of their band members and 75% of the letters in their name, but they're still 100% hard-hitting, finger-picking, "mathemagicians". Having recently released sophomore album '13.0.0.0.0,' the British trio came to the Exclaim! backyard to perform "Cat Fantastic" for Exclaim! TV.

    God, I love this band. They might be the most talented three-piece group I've ever listened to.

    I really love the way these guys play. The drummer surely adds a very nice vibe giving an aggresively percussive contrast to a calm ambience given by the guitars and bass - Henry's Bass VI always gives a really unique distinguishable sound that really makes me want to pick up a VI myself, plus his singing style fits very well. And last but not least, Tim's way of playing the guitar is outstanding, it's really unique alternating between fingerpicking and tapping, but on this song, it clearly puts a focus on giving the right tones to paint the landscape for the song - not only that, but I envy that Spidercapo! You guys over at TTNG surely are an inspiration, not only for each instrument and the way you approach them, but the way the songs themselves are too! Cheers!

    It's a Squier Jaguar Bass he got from GAK, then modified it to become an affordable Bass VI. Then Fender brought out Squier Bass VI's at the start of the year. I have one, and it's beast!

      +Tim Andersson nope, it's a homemade Bass VI! Baritone guitars are tuned B-E-A-D-F♯-B, whereas his modified Jaguar Bass VI is tuned like a regular guitar.

    The bassist looks a little bit like Ewan McGregor. You know the dude who played Obi-Wan Kenobi.

  • @HGilbanator
    @HGilbanator 10 років тому +3

    I believe its a bass modified for 6 strings (Scale length gives this away, along with the bass pickups). The reason for this is because TTNG only play an octave apart from the guitar instead of two like a traditional bass would, allowing for more melodic sounding bass parts. I'm not 100% accurate on this but I'm sure he'll mention it in an interview somewhere

      Joan Saag like at 0:45 he is pushing a pedal on the downbeat of each measure. know what it is or what its doing?

    • @TheCorrectionTroll
      @TheCorrectionTroll 9 років тому

      Kyle Waselewski The only thing i could think of would be some form of reverb to make it sound like he's sustaining the notes but used more as a sustain pedal on a piano. Strange.
      Edit: I think its a programmable board.

    • @estudiosfolkloreiberoamericano
      @estudiosfolkloreiberoamericano 9 років тому

      Crunchy Nutter but, if you listen it again, you will know that the sound of the guitar change with a little overdrive with every touch in the pedal in specifics notes
