Met him outside a pub in London during the annual Bass Show. We both were having a smoke & chatted away. Never told him how much of a fan & his influence on me. I called my dad later to tell him like a giddy teenager ????????
Awesome
I love this guy! He's totally cool. – his pedalboard is almost as long as his couch!
???????? …hvng four H9’s is absurd!!! …I need five!
Love this dude. I was in a band a while back that he loved. We played his festival in Hartford. Extremely cool and humble guy. Oh yeah..his bass playing…. LAWD!
Superhieno settaus – toimii -Muimoin roudasin Charlie Mingusia ja kantaesani kontrabassoansa sain ottaa ´tyypit´´ yritin toki Hendrixin 'Machine gun' biisiä – ei ihan onnistunut – myöhemmin Kulttuuritalolla Stanley Clarke antoi Alembikin laulaa kauniisti.. ja suomalainen Pekka Pohjola omalla , jäljittömällä omalaatuisella jäljettömällä tyylillään – 1970 ja 1980-luvut olivat sähköbasistien kultaaikaa – nyt harvat nostavat peukkua – matalia ääniä löyttyy mistä vaan – tämä oli tyylikästä koulutusta
18:55 Torn is one of my favorite Jungle Funk songs!!!
Wimbish is one of the top greats of all time. Perfect accompaniment to Reid.
I play pretty dry but I want to start adding some color to my sound. Nothing to crazy that’ll make the other guys in the band lol at me weird but something subtle
What a great artists. Very awesome to see how he has his board set up. I love how he explains everything clearly as well and how they all work.
Thanks Doug! I know this is from a ways back but you explain the use of each pedal so much better than anyone I have ever heard before.
Looks like I need to buy some more pedals!
Which one of the pedals are the microwave and wine chiller? ????
Great pedalboard tutorial! Thanks!
@ 8:59 Thundercat sighting spotted
"Today we're gonna talk about…my sex board"???? camera pans to effects board ????
He is an bass hero, for me, since i start listening to living colour ,in the age of 13.
Doug pushes the boundaries, in questions of sound.
Doug's understanding of his gear is remarkable. I'm not a pedal guy, but, that's partly because I don't have the patience to learn what Doug has. Beyond his gear Doug has a deep understanding of the broader music business and the reasons for being a musician in the first place. Check out his interview on, "The Sessions." He is a truly unique Pro!
Terrific explanation of how and why to use a lot of different effects. Really enjoyed it.
4 h9??
Imagine seeing Mason from Vertex do a rebuild of this board and making everything nice and tidy on GOMC boards. Would be an awsome video.
Awsome board, would love to see Mason from Vertex convert it onto a GOMC.
Cool
That wide pedalboard though …
What Spector is he playing? It's not his baby..
So much love for this dude.
Phenomenal musician, bassist, sound sculptor and a really nice guy.
Thank you sharing this with us.. I love your passionate explanation of each sound…
Raspex Maximum
Love it! The final demo was great!
This was phenomenal. Thanks, Doug!
Very cool and well done. Thanks for sharing. You covered a lot of ground thoroughly and kept my attention the entire time.
PS bitcrush
Would love to see him checking out Mick Karn
Amazing!
thanks dude!!!
Such a cool guy….. I was homeless in the park playing guitar back in 03 he gave me a few bucks and said he liked the way I play. Gave me his card and said to call him if I ever needed help with my music… I carried that card around for ten years…. Nice guy
Unbelievable set up….inspiring
Douggy!!! Love your work with Living Colour man!
1 dislike ? That guy must be a deaf person
Other than my tuner my SansAmp is the only pedal I always have to have with me. i can do everything I need to with just that.
This guy does not need a band. The music he can make on his own is more than enough for me.
Nice to have a detailed tour of that board, especially where the signal chain is concerned. I love how Doug always seems to be musical with his effects. Thanks for putting this out there guys!
Doug is awesome!
I remember seeing him play this solo piece at a Summer Namm after party. in Nashville last year with the supro guys. He is a beast of a bass player. I love bass players that are equally or more of a gearhead than guitarists. Justin Chancellor and Jon Stockman also come to mind.
I thought he was a bass player ?
There's no bass player in this vid, just a frustrated lead guitarist.
he's a legend…. thanks for this post. living colour, bill laswell stuff, little axe, jungle funk and the trippy notes for bass solo lp. i got it all… 🙂
The man sure loves his gear 😀
Still confused about the four H9’s… love everything else though.
He sounds like a 90s guitar/bass effects beginners instructional DVD.
Does that rig/pedalboard have multiple zip codes?
