Notes
Studio recording, 2001 (Origin of Symmetry album). Chris Wolstenholme used his Status S2-Classic bass and Trace Elliot amps in this era. Live, later years saw more amp and pedal changes, but the studio track is from 2001.
Tone Character(9)
Synthy fuzzAggressive, saturated distortionDeep low endPronounced upper midsFiltered, envelope-like attackSustain with slight compressionGritty, harmonically richProcessed, not rawFull-bodied
Difficulty
The main riff is fast and syncopated, requiring tight fingerstyle technique and control to maintain clarity through heavy fuzz and filtering. The player must also manage dynamics and articulation to keep the synth-like tone consistent.
