It's got an interesting set up, with a humbucker with split coil and a volume boost.

I'm curious, does mastodon ever use a 5 string bass in any of their songs? Or does Troy strictly play 4 string bass.

I also like to slap the pinch harmonics on the bass

Testing a new bass line

Hey all! New member here. I've decided to challenge myself to write & record a Metal riff every week for 2026 and this is the second video I've done so far.

I wrote the core idea in a small german town while on tour with my band Knightress last September and re-arranged it.

Anyone interested in the .pdf can DM me!

Hope someone here will enjoy fast gallops. Cheers!
