IF you DO have the budget. All these YT videos seem like all those dudes/dudettes in college in the 90s, the ones that always had every tech, every toy, every transportation type, every bootleg of Phish, every DMB bootleg, and would always make sure to show you what they acquired.
I have a Morley power fuzz wah a compress/sustain a ts9 a flanger a chorus a 6band and 10 band eq a furman pq3
2:15 WTF is going on with your head here?
These are more "dicking around practice tools" than must-have pedals. Nice playing though.
1. bass 2. cable 3. amp … absolutely essential those 3
Zastanawiam się czy jesteś Polakiem? i czy można dostać Twoje książki w j.polskim
Always love your videos and even as playing pro for 30 years, I pick up a concept or idea that I can fit in!
The only downside, as being a bassist for 30 years, your voice ironically is in a register that just turns to mush and I can make out only a few words or less per sentence. ????
Risk of the job!
Thanks for the great video! Do you use a compressor? And if yes, what’s your favourite brand model?
You should explore using Guitar Pro to replace the Manuscript books. I put all my ideas and transcriptions into this. It's killer.
Hi Janek! Should I sell my 2 H9's and replace it with an FX stomp? Loving the vids mate 🙂
interesting. Why do you keep mentioning chords? Bassists who play chords should really play (rhythm) guitar instead, I think.
It would be better if there were subtitles
Hey Janet, Thanks for all these videos! I'm returning to my first love of bass after a 30 year hiatus in advertising. I've gotten picked up by a 70's/80's R&B R&B/Funk band. Would the HX stomp cover the synth sounds I would need? Thx!
I've just realised how much time I've spent with mt right foot on its side and my left foot on top…
Would they be, a bass, amp and lead?
Why don't you use boss gt 1b
Bass, Amp and an a Cable!
Thanks for letting me know about those features in the Helix I already have, but haven't gotten around to trying yet. Might have fun with this later!
Great video as always. I bought my ditto x4 because of you
Hey do you know that car show called top Gear? Would it be fun if you made a parody of that show but for bass ????????????
some other items every bassist should have IMHO..
String winder
string cutter
fretboard cleaner
string cleaner
Being a long time guitar player, I gravitated to a Line 6 Helix 7 years ago. So last year I started playing bass in a new band, and discoverd it is an amazing tool for that too. Saved me a ton of money, I run direct out to the house and the same small monitor I use for guitar, at my feet. A used $400 MiM Fender J Bass so far is my only cost. Btw, converting to bass (or becoming a bassist) is more difficult than I thought it would be, but huge fun, lol!
3 pieces every bassist needs. 1 Broomstick, 2 String, 3 Wash bucket. Then don’t over play the darn thing????
Top three items for a bassist: bass, amp, lead.
Absolute GARBAGE!
Great video Janek – nice one
Right after the bass and strap, the (portable) amp and cable:
-load your phone with apps. Tuner, recorder, metronome, Discord acc for the band, Youtube downloader, pitch shifter for backing tracks… You name it
-good carry case/backpack for the bass
-foldable bass stand
-clip on lamp to read the music in low light conditions
-music paper
-looper pedal
The stuff you mention is way down on the list. Stand up when you train and play; for consistency.
On that dictaphone:
Back in 1990 I was "recording" an ever growing number of my own songs. Inputting the notes in my music software (MIDI only) by mouse, playing the songs back and recording them onto hi-fi VHS tape, then often copying the recordings to compact cassettes for more versatile listening. I would arrange the songs into a playlist of sets.
I observed that I would sometimes like to skip a certain song while listening. "Asking myself why" has proven to be maybe the most valuable lesson from that time. The issue was often related to matters of attack (in MIDI: velocity) and phrasing.
(Note that I'm not a "real" bass player, although Bass would be one of two favorite instruments if I should play in a band once again.)
Yep, I use my mobile to record practice sessions and ideas. What's the differen e between Freeze and Ditto? Can't you play numerous chords on the Freeze?
Hi Janek, could‘t find your practice HX Stomp patch. Could you add a direct link to it in the description please?
Just helping the algorithm, go Janek!
