How to get a crushing Bass Tone! ???????????????? #scottsbasslessons #sbl #basslesson #progressivemetal
How do the big progressive metal players get that MONSTROUS sound? ????
Bass & string choice, Effects, Processing… These are all important factors but DON’T SLEEP ON TECHNIQUE ????
Before you even enter these various rabbit holes, it’s vital to ensure your technique & approach is dialled in to get this sound!

what thin pick nolly uses ? I'm using dunlope triangle .6mm , it's great
So make it sound more like a guitar. No thanks.
Song in the beginning?
Agree with a lot of these mentions. What about Justin Chancellor's tone in Reflection from the Lateralus record?
"A thin pick give natural compression"? lmao
When i felt in love with the instrument 30 years ago, i didn't know it could and would sound like "gaw gaw gaaaw gaw gaw gawwww" gnarly sound, so far away from pop or even rock bass sounds. Modern music needed basses but it made the instrument evolve. Music is such a cool and beautiful art.
Shucks howdy – that is not slap but the tech slaps
How to have a crushing bass tone ? First buy a Dingwall…
So with the right strings and a thin pick my Jaskson JS2 Concert bass made in India has a chance.
How does his pick survive a gig..
I wonder what gauge?
isn't this same as the technique Fieldy from Korn has been using for a century?
I know this video well
Neeerrlly!
"Make total destroy bass cam" is sooo good if you haven't watched it ^__^
I will say.. top 4 tones I have ever heard:
Mick Karn – Tin Drum
Les Claypool – Pork Soda album
Blacky – Voivod's Nothingface album
Kev Hopper – Stump- A Fierce Pancake album.
I will say – STUMP, the album is called "A Fierce Pancake" from 1988.
Kev Hopper's Wal Bass playing on this is like nothing I've ever heard in my life.
I URGE YOU GUYS.. PLEASE!!!!
check him out. He has a technique that you can't believe.
The songs "Chaos" or "Living it Down" from A Fierce Pancake, but the whole album is pure WTF playing
Armies of the preposterous is a great example.
Much like the with getting a meaner slap tone or a meaner pluck tone. The key to getting a meaner pick tone is often times just picking harder or more aggressively.
It's like Geddy's tone. I used to think it was just drive but 90% of it is how his bass is set up, the strings, and his technique.
What model bass is Scott using?
I think thin pics don't sound as good as thicker pics when playing very fast. I play with 1.5 mm @infernal desekration
Chris Squire' s dirty marching low Gs on Roundabout, Siberian Khatru etc etc are sublime.
Love me some Djent
Badass sound indeed, especially with that metal riffing ????
