Thanks for this LIGHT BULB moment Daric!! I only play Active Basses, and I've always hated my sound going through an Amp on stage and my practice Amp. Little did I know that my settings on the Amp were exactly matching my settings on the Bass!!
Incidentally, I played with the GK Amp last month when we opened for Richard Bona. Also when I played with Gerald Albright and Jonathan Butler, it was a GK. I ended up deciding to go through a wedge, a stereo mix.
Now I know why! Just now, I've just set my Amp settings to flat and only used my Bass EQ, and I love what I hear!!
Thanks man! ????????????????
'Tone' is in your fingers, not in the amp (nor the guitar). I've been telling guitarists that for 20 years.
I love your sound and technique. Think you the best bass player I have seen. I have adjusted my right and lefthand technique by just watching you play. And you have a great slap technique. I have also 40 videos of you in my phone just copy most of what you do
I need this! Thanks, bro!
I can relate! I play with my EQ flat as well and adjust my frequencies using my bass eq. Indeed it is individual preference.
BBQ Pringles!
How can you train your self to play with both fingers on the right hand … I been playing bass for 4 years and I still play with my tumb but trying to break the habit
Yep. Whether an amp or wedge for monitoring, I've learnt to trust what my bass is giving. I know what I'm supposed to hear with each setting so when I hear it differently during soundcheck at a venue, I'm aware that whatever is coming back to me is lying, and I won't immediately adjust my settings.. With the setting I have, I know what I'm supposed to hear (or just about) so my next step is to set or ask for flat on all monitoring. You'll be surprised to see what stage engineers do on our stage monitoring.
How do you expect your bass in the recording that it
comes through so loud and clear even on my phone
speakers??!
Great video ….what's that funky groove youre playing at the beginning
Better proof about the 'tone is in your fingers' part is that your flat-bass playing still sound dope compared to my eq'd bass playing hahaha
I do this, only because, if I get a tone I like before the show….the minute everyone starts playing, it's nearly impossible to adjust my amp the way I want…
plus, I have an Eden 800WT…
so, even flat sounds good, then I just tweak it on my Musicman Bass. (Active)
This is exactly what i needed in this season thank you so much
I'm proud of you bro…
Great hint if you want to get rid of annoying egocentric guitarists in a studio… push all the mids and high mids way up both on your amp and bass eq and if available do active – it will drive them crazy as they do to you ????????????
Dude, I was so happy that you were there:) you killed it! Great work shop as well:)
Great insight! Subscribed!
Good perspective IMO. I have learned that "bedroom" tone is quite different than "live" tone and that is even different from "recording" tone. "Your" ton in the "bedroom" does not always work when playing on stage; it may not sound the same to your ears but is all relative to the genre and even The different musicians and even venue that you may be playing with. It is a fluid thing. The hardest thing for front of house to mix is the bass. Pray for a competent front of house guy! Thanks for the upload!
Lovely thanks man. From Nigeria
If though it was Funk and Disco that inspired my love for Bass as a kid, I taught myself how to play by playing Roots & Culture Reggae Music. That's my 'original' tone now… Aston Familyman Barrett, Flabba Holt, Robbie Shakespeare etc.
However, I started learning Funk and Smooth Jazz, Blues…. My favorite tone is Bernard Edwards, Leon Sylvers III, Richard Bona, Robert Kool Bell…
Incredible! Love it.
