this is simply AWESOME. Not many of the professionals give such honest and detailed deep dives in their tone and settings, feels like most "hide" some sweet sauce or the cherry on top. THANK YOU SO MUCH! Hyped for part 2 and hopefully even more content, its truly inspiring and entertaining watching you!
David, these videos have been KILLER. Thank you for sharing all these tips and tricks. They're so helpful for this guitarist becoming bassist. Your jokes and editing are the icing on the cake. I always feel inspired to go practice haha
It's great to have so much insigth from this brother. However, I'm from a time were we would extract the tone from the Bass, by hand. We would make the instrument "groans" to deliver what we wanted it to deliver. No electronic stuff, just the musician and the instrument plugged in. 🙂
I got the dad tone lol I guess seeing this video have taught me a lesson that there's a more bass meat tone that I could add up to the dish! Thank you :)
Thank you Mr. funkkkkk!!! I have been looking and looking all over youtube/ instagram to get information like these. I really appreciate your dedication to Jesus!!
Thanks for the video, man! I’ve got an unusual bass rig because I made a board that works for both electric and bass. I have a Benson Automatone Preamp MkII that I was using to try to copy some of your tones from this video. I’m surprised at how much I had to scoop the low mids to get close to your tone. I bounce back and forth between a more neutral tone and a more scooped tone but I’m excited to play around with these settings and see how it feels.
Been enjoying bass so much as I produce my own music, but I don't actually have my own. Just keep borrowing one when I need it. haha Gotta get one and start getting the pedals for the sauce. So good!
Dude... Im writing a 2 side ep. 3 doom songs aboit spiritual warfare... 3 (slow and heavy) worship songs. I'm definitely going to be checking out some of that micro synth for the first side.
@@thedavidfunk_ it’s on Tanners board! Chris Greely recommended it to me as well. Try it out! Add lots of hair, but not really a fuzz like the Kilt gets to.
It’s on Tanner’s board! Got the recommendation from Chris Greely too. It’s got lots of hair, but I don’t think it gets as fuzz as the Kilt. Great stuff Dave!
My modern micro synth does the same thing! Like every other time I kick it on it will have way less of the square wave and top end. And I can’t figure out why it does that. 😢
I’ve been playing with the regular D’addario XLs for most of this year, and I like them! How often do you change your strings, and how much longer do you feel like the NYXLs last than the regular ones?
I change my strings every couple of sets. 2 … max 4 I’d say. With the normal ones i remember doing closer to like 1-3 I’d say. So depending on how much you practice / how long your sets are it can be super worth it!
Hey David, What you said about your micro synth. My micro synth kind of does the same thing with losing aggression. It’s honestly not horrible. But I was wondering if you figured out the cause of that?
Hola genio! Tengo unas dudas, use el traductor y algunas cositas no entendi. 1) en este caso, el PRE/POST como lo tenes seleccionado? 2) el pedal negro donde sale el canon que es exactamente? 3) como ordenas los pedales? 4) usas un compresor en la edicion? Porque en la pedalboard no usas ningun compresor y suena increible jaja Hace poco adquirimos el Microsynth y estamos seteando todo de a poco.
1) No entendí bien a dónde iba tu pregunta, lo siento. 2) Es una caja directa de Rupert Neve (RNDI) 3) Buffer>Afinador>Microsynth>Kilt>Tone Hammer>RNDI Dice que no está seguro, porque él no la armó pero cree que es ese orden y la verdad tiene sentido. (Yo los acomodaria asi) 4) No explica el proceso de post producción, pero suena a que tiene algún compresor y un ecualizaror en la mezcla.
Great Questions - the V1 is very hard to find now unfortunately. You might be able to get one on Reverb but they're pretty overpriced. V1 has the two sides with the independent boost and an accessible low cut switch. the V2 has the switch (to my knowledge) but you have to open it up
still great! a friend has one on his bass board. pretty sure you have to get it modded to make sure there’s not a low cut? but otherwise i’m sure it slaps.
i know - it’s so sad! honestly the main thing that’s iconic too it for me is the fuzz - so i’d just try some different fuzz options until you find something you like! then could always have a separate boost or drive
I used to have this issue when I ran my microsynth with the trigger and start frequency up. A couple years back I saw a video of David Hislop demoing a microsynth with the trigger and start frequency all the way down and using only the stop frequency to control the filter. I started doing that and haven’t had any issues since. This is the same way David is running his in this video.
How to get the bethel bass tone?!?!? Have a million dollars. Constant new strings? Dude thinks we are made of money! This video was tone buzzword bingo, don’t get me wrong, it’s a super cool video but maybe next time try to build a board on a budget?
fair enough! all stuff i’ve accumulated over the years; that’s why i tried to give my recommendation on what order I’d buy things in! But could totally keep in mind budget options / versions of things in the future
