I like their style of playing in this video, it's in the context of what they're playing through, unlike almost all the other All About The Bass videos, where it's only Funk, Slap, etc. good to see some rock playing here.
Honestly: This was the most entertaining thing i saw on this channel for a long time :D It does not even feel long and its so interesting to see them testing sooo much stuff and deciding for myself what i like best. Very inspiring. I am a bassist and love pedals... so obviously this fits me very well. Good job guys, pls do more of this "testing loads of pedals on bass" stuff ^^
I wanted to hear more of Lee playing with the Monterey! I know this was a fuzz shootout but I loved what I heard and now I want one, that and the Octa Hive.
Really enjoying these bass videos! I think you guys have nailed the dynamic between hosts which some other Andertons videos haven't been able to do in the past.
I liked the Tone City and Big Muff most because they sounded absolutely filthy. At the risk of sounding unpopular, I think you guys might be overdoing the Miku gags. It's still well and good but it's going to get old quick if you keep it up.
I went out and instant-bought that Haunt. A combination of your playing and the actual demo-reel of sounds you can get out of that, damn. 16:53 sounded like some crazy chase theme.
The new Big Muffs (Green one and OP-Amp) sound absolutely divine on both bass and guitar. Would have won this test by miles imo! The Miku was a strong contender though.
Get two amps; they don't both have to be big; run a lead from the second input of the first amp to the input of the second; you should get a really solid buzz, at least I did. And it isn't flappy like these pedals. It might work with the first amp being a little practice bass or guitar amp. Let me know if it works for you.
When I used to play with The Paupers in T.O. I plugged into a Vox Essex bass amp on a cart with 2x12s, and ran a lead from the second input to a Traynor Bassmaster with 8x10s. It had a great hard buzz; it didn't flap the way a lot of fuzz boxes do. Ever try that?
To me the Fuxx Fuzz had a cool effect but it is missing the ability to blend through clean tones alongside the fuzz sound which is what to me makes for a great bass fuzz. To me the Old Blood Haunt Fuzz was the best all-rounder.
A EHX metal muff works well on a clean bass sound HOWEVER unlike most beginner's you want to cut back on the gain and bass levels it makes a great rhythm tone with a decent amount of dirt
Tonight on "Plunging into the Janus", two men, one a knob toucher, the other a G-string fiddler, sit in a small room appraising eachother's fuzz. Stay tuned.
Listen to MAGIC PEOPLE or THINK I CARE by The Paupers on RU-vid for the same fuzz bass sound I used. It's the legendary T.O. bassist Denny Gerrard on the recording, not me. One amp running through another.
This is awesome, I've been using a couple of Boss distortion pedals with my bass since last spring and I love the sounds they make. The low end gets cut out quite a bit but it still sounds great and is super fun. Troll alert, the Boss MT-2 sounds awesome with a bass!
which bass is nathan playing? great tone!, i ask beacause i don't speak english as my mother language and can't understand what they say in the part they mention it
