🎸 Learn bass the easy (and fun) way with the NEW SBL Beginner Journey → sbl.link/4bTLKkz
Some bass players love to double down on a bad idea. And though we once bristled at the notion that there could ever be such a thing as a wrong musical opinion, we’ve since come to accept that there is such a thing. We know because we had one! Scott was colossally wrong about the Fender Precision AND slap bass!
In this episode, Scott and Ian reveal their newfound love for Robert Palmer, and the big things they’ve changed their minds about, or wish they’d known sooner.
In this episode:
Who is Pierre Brock?
Scott’s new F Bass - love it or hate it?
How Ian found the perfect monitor engineer.
Is slap bass still cool?
Should you put reverb on bass?
Where are you on the midwit meme?
And much, much more!

I was told by many bassists over the years, (I've been playing for over forty-five years) never to use flat or tapewound strings, "they'll make your sound muddy." About five years ago, I needed strings, and I thought, "What the hell, I'm going to try these flatwounds, if I don't like them I just wasted thirty-five bucks." Now for years there had always been something in my sound and tone I didn't like, and no matter what I tried to tweak, it would not satisfy, me until I tried those flatwounds, now I use tapewounds, and that is what was missing. Don't let others tell you what you feel and know.

@adamwalcott_official Месяц назад

Since I started almost 30 years ago, I've been fighting the tone on my first bass ever, a MIM '95 Fender cowpoke PJ. I've had the bridge replaced, frets replaced with stainless, Aguilar preamp installed w/ Nordstrand pups... was still unsatisfied. Then last year, I threw flatwounds on it for the first time ever, and holy f***, the bass was made for flats. I felt so stupid for the longest time that in the almost 30 years I had this bass, I never thought to throw some flats on there. Also, it gives the bass some purpose now, considering I almost always play my three other 5-string basses.

We need to shout out those bass players who brought back the P bass when it was extremely uncool. One great example is Colin Greenwood from Radiohead - a guy who really understands what the P bass does best, and uses it in creative ways. Check out "How To Disappear Completely" and dig the warm, chunky tones he gets.

@PerpetuallyTiredMusician Месяц назад

My big "I was wrong" was picking up the bass as instrument in a way. I was halfway through first year at the royal college of music before I finally cought up with myself and realized that what I truly wanted was to write my own music and not just write my parts, my life as a musican suddenly fell into a focus that I had missed before and it had caused me a lot of grief and frustration in my early ears not understanding what I wanted and why I never felt completely happy in my bands with my role. The reasons for me picking up the bass in the first place was partially wrong but it took maturity and time to admit it. Sure, I have always gravitated towards bass lines and rythm but a big reason was confidence or rather a lack there of, it is after all "known" that bass is the "easy" instrument to learn (wrongfully so in many ways). Let me tell you, when you got a burning desire to express yourself and write and a lack of confidence to boot its arguably the hardest instrument in the world to start with. Well After years of studies first private lessons and then studying music in highschool and then that first year in college it was a relief to finally figure out that all though I love bass it was not the instrument optimal for me as a musician. So whats the lesson here? Figure out what it is you really like and want from music and be honest with yourself if you discover 5-10 years in that you are on the wrong instrument/role/niche, its never too late to swap, a lot of the knowledge is transferable and theory is universal. Secondly, 15" speakers rule, both on bass, guitar and piano dont sleep on those bad boys. thirdly, start recording bass again properly dont get suckered into being lined in and fogotten in the mix as a dry sterile fattner for a guitar, own your freq space! Peace

A Zon ad in Bass Player magazine made me buy one (a Sonus V and then a Sonus Special IV). I loved the 2+2 headstock that simply said "ZON" on it and loved the fact that it had a composite neck with no trussrod. Bass purists were probably pissed watching my band play in Seattle as we played hard, heavy, thrashy stuff and meanwhile I was using a Zon Sonus Special IV (I traded my 5 string for the 4) tuned down to be, low slinging it & tearing it up lol. But I started a trend......Zon became the bass of choice my bassists in very heavy bands haha. SWR also got me with their cabs; I had a 2x12 with an 8x8 on top of it. Then on top of that I had two Eden WT-300. I had a Y-splitter cable coming out of my bass and into each amp so I could EQ each cab differently. It was definitely taller then I was with the rack case with my tuner in it (and I'm 6' 1").

Hey there, I just love what you two are doing, just keep on playing and talking about things you are interested in. When I discovered the podcast last summer, this was a gamechanger for me. I listened to all episodes beginning from the first one when I was doing my workout every morning. Since then, when I see you, it feels just like meeting my bass playing pals - because you were talking about all kind of stuff that matters to you. Family life beeing a bass player, diets, traveling, whatever was on your mind. That is really great! Remember the very first episodes of the podcast? You were talking about how social media work. No algorithm would ever suggest to start a bass podcast talking for hours about social media. But that was what was crucial for you at that time. And that is what makes it great. Even if it may seem banal to talk about how long you stay up to play bass or what you had for lunch, it is very much about being musical if you think about it. Yes, Mr. Allison, I included your "me-time", the whole notes at 40 bpm, the ball of butter, in my warm-up and I learned where having great time is coming from. Maybe I won't ever make it to have that great time like you; but what mattters to me is that it is so beautiful that I learned how it is made. No algorithm will ever push you in that direction. I understand that you have a business to take care of, and that's okay. Just please remember to stick to what is of importance for yourself, being a musican.

@Chad_Sandridge75 18 дней назад

I'm glad they brought up not listening to people that tell you "this is what you want" when it doesn't resonate with you. I had played as a teenager and put it down for about a decade. When I decided at 30 I was going to seriously get back to playing; I saved up $500 and went to Guitar Center. I was determined to but a passive p or jazz bass. I loved the Vintage Modified jazz with the block inlays! I had been to a few stores and played them and the one at GC sounded amazing. Well there was a great bass player working in there. It seemed like he was the man by the way everyone treated him. He told me how Fender was yesterdays instrument. If I wanted something versatile that I wouldn't out grow, active is where its at. I was crushed. But, he had "just the one!" It was a beautiful cherry burst flame top Ibanez. Reluctantly I took his advice. I mean he's the man right; he wouldn't steer me wrong? It was so bright, even with the tone completely rolled off! I hated it! It was an amazing instrument for someone but not me. I played it for over a year and never warmed up to it. So I traded it for a passive Lakeland P bass; and instantly began to play better. 18 years and a ton of basses later; I have only found one active bass that suits me. A Fender Precision Lyte. I still kick myself for selling it to pay bills.

@crocholiday Месяц назад

Dude... I felt the same way about the P back in the 90's. I had a mid 70's P that I sold for $250 back then to get a more "modern" sounding bass like a Spector, Stingray bass or Sound gear basses. I was 100% convinced I could not get that awesome bright, poppy compressed tone with a P. I didn't get another one until maybe 5 years ago now because everyone had one and I just didn't want what everyone had. Sean Hurley's tone is where I finally caved. Try as I might (and longer than I care to admit), I could not get my single H Stingray to sound like his P and sit in the mix like it does. I finally said "screw it" and got one to see what I'd have to do to it to get close Sean's tone. Nothing... nothing is what I had to do. The P with LaBella flats was 95% there right out of the case. Now I have 2 P's and 2 P/J's. It's funny to hear that the sound I was searching for back in the 90's was just a well produced P lol.

I have been playing active (mostly EMG) Jazz basses for over fourty years. Finally I caved in and I put together two passive P basses this year. A Jamerson one with flats and a Freddie Washington, Paul Jackson one with rounds. The Jamerson one with the flats is OK ( I currently have TI Jazz Flats, I might try heavier LaBellas) but I just can't warm up to the passive roundwound P. I'm going with active EMGs this week. I had them on my P Bass in the early 80s. I loved them back then and and I still do.

Speaking of monitor mixes, lately, I've been playing direct with in-ears, but to get the "feeling" of bass and moving air, I've had a subwoofer behind me that just has the standard FOH mix in it. I love it! The in-ears give you all the benefits of being able to hear exactly what you want at a reasonable volume, but the subwoofer still lets you feel your playing. Granted, this has only been at one location and it's the standard stage setup, but I think I'd give it a go in other situations if possible. I've also mixed FOH in the same venue and it makes FOH mixing very easy by minimizing the stage volume.

On the subject of boutique basses, you guys have a video from 5 or 6 years ago where you play back to back on a blind test a sire jazz that was like 600€ or so against a fodera matt garrison that must have been at least 18-20k€, that sire was dialed in perfectly, the fodera sounded poorly next to it. So yes, its very hard to justify a boutique bass on sound alone. But, back in the 90s and 00s, and quite some portion of the 10s, boutique basses had one gigantic advantage, they were built right, back then you knew that if you bought a new bass for less than 2k you were making huge compromises on how that bass felt when you played it and how it was fit and finished. Nothing beats a bass that you pickup for the first time and the neck feels proper, rolled edges, fret work on point, finish with the right texture and thickness. Not to mention the electronics made sense, bellow 1k almost everything came with bad ceramic pickups and preamps that felt like they were made to make your tone bad no matter what. A good P or J are great basses, but the market has been absent of those at reasonable prices, or at all at times, boutique builders made a lot of sense during those times.

Also, that was a really interesting point towards the end by Scott about slap sounding different on a 22 fret bass to a 24 fret. I have to admit, i tend to be more concerned about high fret access than the number of them (naming no names, there are some where the last four or five appear to be there for decoration); so long as I can get to the 19th or 20th, I'll be happy . . .

I missed the sincerity of the old podcasts but am happy to see SBL noticing this and wanting to move back. In a RU-vid that is flooded with marketing schemes and clickbait and structure all for the algorithm, it would be refreshing for the podcast at least to just be some folks talking about bass and what makes them human.

Love these long format, chat style podcasts. 👍👍 Regarding the P Bass Theory: I fell into the same trap when I started playing… "gotta have active boutique!" Fast forward 20 years, and just last night I brought a P bass with flats to a rehearsal for one of my upcoming gigs. Probably can't get away with the spring reverb/tremolo sound though! 😁

I'm 27 so I came up in a different era, but when I was a kid the first bass tone I remember falling in love with was Mark Hoppus on the Blink 182 self titled album. The nasally P bass growl sits well in almost any mix in a really pleasing way.

Great video! Love to hear how your thoughts have evolved over time, it saves us some growing pains. It seems like both your learning processes involved coming to the realization that all those hard and fast rules are nonsense. If you can play well, and understand what the song (or gig) needs is a bit of reverb, or flat wounds on a P-bass, or slapping the sh*t out of an active boutique bass through an SWR with the presence all the way up, then so be it! I imagine that's how really successful session players become really successful session players - leave your opinions and egos at the door.

the 8x10 ghost notes take.. yes i was indeed smiling the moment you mentioned it. I have a 8x10 cab and i used to haul it all the time, but its so heavy, so i had to downsize but indeed if i could, 8x10 is absolutely killer soundwise..!

So, I just want to throw this out there, and I’m not sure you’ll ever see it, since you no doubt have so many viewers: the chemistry between you two is so fresh, natural, and a joy to watch and listen to. I sometimes laugh out loud as you discuss the various topics related to music. Coming from a 62 year old ex-musician, you guys are awesome and likely a little of what I needed as a high school bass player wannabe with no direction.

In the 80's I had 2 Peavey Mark IV heads and each had a 15" Black Widow on the bottom with a 2-10" with a horn on top. Massive sound, but my back is destroyed from hauling them around. Now I'm using a Peavey Max 100 with a 12" speaker. Sometimes if I want more Oomph I add one of my old 15's underneath

What about “hi-mass” bridges? I have come to believe that saddle material is more important.

@matthewbitzer8532 Месяц назад

I don’t play much bass these days, I subscribed back in 2015 when I was learning to play for a band back in college. That being said, I’ve watched nearly all of the latest videos because the vibes are so good and they just make me smile and laugh. Great work y’all!

I loved my Ampeg rig. It sounded so, so amazing. In my 20's I'd lug it upstairs by myself with no complaints. But as the years ticked by... moving it just sucked more and more lol. Now I roll a Markbass head and 2-10 cab if I need it. Big venues... I roll direct with no amp as long as I'm using IEM unless the band requests it. I have pondered some of the lighter powered 4-10's but still just prefer the small rig. I did have one band ask me to put my rig on stage anyway just for visual lol. This made me consider building a fake cab that's actually a crate for all of my misc stuff haha. Not sure that I will but it's not a terrible idea.

Grreat podcast, I definitely like it! I think we all recognize ourselves in what you said... Thankfully I had an amazing teacher that talked me out of all the bullshit when I was in my early 20s... For instance I said to him that I hated country music an latin, and in response he made me study only country and latin for a month or more LOL. He said you should know how to play every genre.... when you do then you pick what you like best but you have to learn it all first. Also agree 100% on what you said, doesn't matter the gear, you can get used to anything, the main thing is the amount of hours spent exercising

I think thats the moog at the beginning and no steelpan
