Glad to see you back making videos Rodney.

@Alex-m89 Год назад

Barely at the three and half minute mark and FINALLY! Someone said it. The truth about dingwall and dark glass. Badass basses and great tone but everyone’s doing it. Mix up your tone and make it yours. Love the channel! Love your wisdom and information. 🤘

@Farewelltokingz Год назад

ROOOODNEY. Hope you are holding up ok man. We all love you. Awesome to see you back and still with a passion to do this

Love what Cliff B. and DD Verni did with their Riks.

@nuldorvamoysenor2091 Год назад

Damn, it's so good to see you alive man. You gained a bit of weight also. Glad to see you back.

@restojon1 11 месяцев назад

Rodney, it's a genuine pleasure to see you again. My damn bell thing had unchecked itself so I've only just seen your video. I hope that you have managed to get some sort of handle on your health issues, I also suffer from chronic illness so I appreciate what you're up against. By the way, I tend to agree on the Dingwall Darkglass thing and what I'd say to someone starting out looking for metal tone for cheap, get any Jazz bass, put some Entwistle Neodymium pickups in (they're about £25GBP each), grab a used Behringer BDi21 and then throw some Rotosound or Elites strings on. You can go from Klank to dirt and everywhere in between with that setup and it's going to cost a fraction of the price of a D&D rig. Take care Rodney, I look forward to seeing your next video whenever that may be.

@TheGarageRecordingSC Год назад

I think the dingwall and dark glass combo has become the same thing as the vintage 30 with the SM57. Good to see you brother!!! You're looking well!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

@RodneyMcG Год назад

@ionehkontehdiabo7627 Год назад

Your videos helped me get my head out of my ass as a beginner when I started playing about 3 years ago. I practiced my ass off and learnt what my gear did and I am a lot better than a lot of players are at around 3 years in. Thank you, your video on compression instead of distortion really helped. You are THE best! I hope all the best for you!

@RodneyMcG Год назад

Thanks a lot, I'm really glad I could help in your musical journey.

@blackarchmage91 Год назад

Using a Rick in a metal context is just simply fun, last year I got the Al Cisneros 4003 and its perfect for the band I'm in.

@PushSueAside Год назад

I’m so happy to see and hear you again. You’ve been in my thoughts the past few month. I’ve been hoping I’d see you here again. Cheers Rodney! Kick it’s ass.

@nikolamilenkovic2445 Год назад

About yor question: I think that prerecorded lessons would be great. I would have certainty got a Skeleton Key "package" if it was available.

@RodneyMcG Год назад

Skeleton key is a bit more personal and take some guidance, but I'll see at some point if I can turn it into something I think is effective over prerecorded video. Thanks for the input.

@josephwalton487 Год назад

For everyone wondering, Tom Brantley wires Gedd's pickups. Lives here in my town of Southport approx 5 or so miles away from me. Dude is legend. He is also working on getting his custom order thing together soon, if it isn't already been implemented. Super nice, super awesome guy. My guitarist gets his PAFs from Mr. Brantley.

@chrismorris3897 Год назад

I'm sooo happy you are healthy enough to make a new video. I really hope you get better, and live as long as happy as possible.

@RodneyMcG Год назад

@jameslangford9347 Год назад

Great to see you back and with the energy and humor to put together an informative vid. I just bought a Marcus Miller V5 a couple months ago so I’m going have to see if it can get a Rickenbacker type of tone from it. Your interview videos have always been great viewing so maybe one with an old school metal bassist.

@averyweissman4093 Год назад

So great to see you back! Hope you are and continue to get healthier.

@cd0u50c9 Год назад

Awesome to see you - looking healthier and hope on the up! On Dingglass and Darkwalls - to me if everyone has jumped on the bandwagon it's usually a sign to go the other way; just my approach for everything, not just gear. Both brands are very vanilla - seemingly high end and expensive, but nothing to show for it in terms of personality or uniqueness. Tried a Thingwall with wonky frets - a massive meh. I'll stick to my battered Peavey head from the 1980s, gouged out Warwick from when they were worth something, and the SansAmp/MXR combo, they'll do me fine for some time to come.

@EmersonTanakaBass Год назад

Love the idea of tapping stuff...one thing that I think would be interesting is to show not only the tapping technique but I think it is important if you can cover the gear itself for tapping...what I mean is the strings action, the EQs, compression etc because sometimes you can learn how to do that 2 hands stuff but mostly basses are not setup in the way that you can do that "easily" so it would be interesting if you could cover that as well...I am glad that you are alright!

@RebieRebs Год назад

I am so glad to see this! I hope your health has stabilized somewhat and I wish you all the best! Much love Rodney! ♥️♥️♥️

@kristopherdavidson2097 Год назад

Great to have you back, Rodney! I would be very interested in video courses because your playing and the way you put things across resonates with me. The trouble is I'm relatively new to bass and my ability is limited. I think you did something similar in 2022 but I have seen great progress from a video course I took where you were sent a new bassline 5 days a week for a month. They are real basslines from real bands but are memorable melodic riffs. It had different difficulty levels for each day (different ways of playing, fills, melodies on higher frets), so it has lessons I can use in the future. The fact you have to learn something different each day is of benefit to me. Any help you can offer to improve my metal playing techniques (via playing real music) would be greatly welcomed. Thank you!

@derwinmoss9485 Год назад

I’m happy to watch this video, Rodney! It’s good to see you up and about! Spot on with your advice about buying a lower priced Jazz Bass to get a Rickenbacker-type of sound. Chris Squire also played a Jazz Bass, and I have a hard time telling the difference between his Jazz Bass and his Rickenbacker. BTW, I agree a Rickenbacker 4001/4003 sounds very different from a Spector(I do own both), but I’d sure love to hear Geddy Lee playing a Spector. Take care!

Hey Rodney, only recently discovered your channel but also saw the video about your ill health. Glad to see you're still making videos and look to be in good spirits. Will be keeping my eye out for future videos and going back through your tutorials as I feel I've gotten very "stale" on bass in the last couple years. Again though, just glad to see you in good spirits after what has clearly been an extremely difficult time for you and your family.

@RodneyMcG Год назад
