  • I know this is kind of a silly question but how can you afford these basses plus other gear. Those instruments cost thousands. Sorry if this is personal, I'm just curious! Those things are beautiful and sound great.

  • for the sound clips, do you happen to remember what settings you used for each plug-in (or a guess at least)? I can see where the low cut is roughly. But I would love to know settings for the avalon DI, Comp, Gate, and darkglass. I also use logic so I have the same stock plug ins!

  • I LOVEE the tone of your jazz bass. Do you have the original listing which might specify the exact pickups it has by any chance? or do you know or have any way to check? I have a lefty CIJ JB62 RI but the sound isn't quite as grindy as yours

  • I think an interesting video for next year would be a progression through ALL the basses you've gone through. >:3c

    Reply
  • I remember that you used to go with a Darkglass cabinet. Don’t you use this nowadays?

  • Wow, didn’t expect this type of video, but I’m so happy to hear your thought process and opinions on things. Here’s to a new year of hearing more from Rufus!

  • Saw some of your videos played with a Sadowsky 5 strings. What about this one? Really liked it, and think it was a US built one

    Reply
  • As a long time bass player, your j bass when using the pick is the best aggressive bass sound I’ve ever heard. I had no idea it was a 500 dollar bass, I was thinking I had to buy a 2000 all American j bass to get that sound lol. I guess that dark glass does a lot

    Reply
  • Very cool. Love the tones you make and I want your new bass. Looks very cool and I bet it plays perfectly.
