2004-end of old-school basses?

Have been listening to lots of 04 and 05 trance stuff and discovered that 04 was the final year when we still could hear those great, old-school, simple yet perfect guitar-bass-alike basslines. 05 was a year of a slight take-off from this trend presenting us with farty, sawish basses. What has actually influenced this change?
Missing old-school..(

If 2004 is already "oldschool" this means I'm getting old, no?

comparing the music of 04 to the nowadays one, yea, its sounds old-school. Trance of 90s was great, yet too simple and empty in terms of structure.
And lunar phase, exhausted of decent thoughts?

No I simply don't have a clue as to what you are on about?

Do you mean rolling basslines?

I can't think of any track that uses a bass guitar or otherwise for it's low end.

I think i.e. Alex M.O.R.P.H. - New Harvest has a rolling bassline.
It's that semi-plucked, pluck lp-filtered and chorused saw wave bass, that has more audible harmonics than a usual bassline that consists of low pitch sine waves. Dark progressive from 04-06 is full of interesting and grooving more "old school" basslines, if you're craving for them.

It usually has approx. 2 hits an octave higher than the normal bassnote would be, making it even more audible.

If I was wrong, I was wrong.



edit. and it's a rolling bassline, not a rolling basses for fuck's sake.

Tilt the world doesn't know uses a side chained synthesized bass.

Rolling basslines are things that you typically hear in epic trance. I personally love them.

fine example to be had here...

Ah then i meant the one in Tilt or those in UR 2004. Not farty saw yet really modern. I dont like when basslines become the main thing to listen in a track.
