How To Get A Silky Smooth Neo Soul/R&B Bass Tone 

Glad I could help!

Happy to help!

hey man, I'm glad it helped!

Do it man!🙌🏾

Thank you Odin 🙏🏾

Noted, I'm getting back in on the videos 👊

Glad you think so!

Thank you, I’m glad it was helpful 🙏🏾

Ayy no problem, I’m glad it helps 🙌🏾

No problem Danny, I’m glad you found the video useful 🙌🏾

Thank you 🙏🏾 I’m coming back with videos real soon 👀

Thank you for being a part of it! I'm shifting more into careers as a creative but will definitely still be dropping bass & muso tips/tricks/ideas

Thank you, I’m glad the video helped 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Haha I’m no idol but thank you man 🙏🏾

I doubt you'd ever regret buying a Sire for the money!

@@The_official_c it's funny you say that, I bought the P7 just a few months ago and it just keeps on delivering! Now I just have to get good haha

Of all the videos on bass but even more so music, these are the ones to learn from. "You don't just hear the notes you feel them" Love it.

Thank you 🙏🏾 that’s the goal man, I know what it is to have no clue how to get particular tones out of an instrument!

I got you!

Ayy thank you my man 👊🏾

EXACTLY what I’d say as well. Smokin’ tips………

You're welcome!

That’s a good idea 🤝🏾

Thank you 🙏🏾

What's the name of the track playing

Too true

😂 it's not the first time I've had the comment 😅

Hahaha true!

Send a link to the version 👊🏾 If you had a lesson with Sir Gouche and he recommended doing that I’d listen to him 😂

@@The_official_c here’s the link to the holy grail of tone. Badu live, other side of the game. Bass player: Hubert Eaves IV ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-690MYP8ZSB0.html

I don’t 🙌🏾 I’m really not a producer so you’ll usually be hearing the direct recorded sound from the bass and if I ever run through preamp it would be my Aguilar tone hammer or I’m experimenting with the Line 6 hx stomp in the last couple of months

@@The_official_c oh cool! Why don't u show is what you've been doing with the helix??

@@The_official_cwould love if you go over your HX Stomp presets I just picked one up and they are pretty nice but would be curious on your settings

Thank you Gabe, any other sort of things like this you’d want me to make?

@@The_official_c YES hahah exploring tone is always cool man i gotta look at your channel some more but thank you!

you got it!

Try it out man! 🙌🏾 killer basses

Great point! Of course you’d have to work with soundman and room to tweak your sound. That might mean dialing in a little more mids but like you say a great sound engineer should be able to work the front of house That’s why I only boost bass small amounts if necessary and more likely to pull up lower mids to add some ‘weight’ to the sound

@@The_official_c👍🏻

In all honesty this video is so old I’m not sure! I’ve personally not found string brands to be MASSIVELY different in tone and regularly move around between strings. Never had issues with dunlops, d’addarios, Ernie ball or even bass centre. I’ve ran rotosounds too. I like the sound but they are a little grabby texture wise when playing so I tend to avoid those now. But in general I go with a medium gauge round wound , 45 to 130 and ride the tone control to suit my technique and genre of the material

This is a great question! Thank you I’ve noted it down. In the meantime listen to Pino’s phrasing on the D’Angelo Chicken grease track. I think that pretty much hits the nail on the head for me 🙏🏾

​@@The_official_c True dat, thats my favorite D'angelo track too! Yeah tbh that whole album is a Neo Soul masterclass lol

Thank you Greg 😂

flat wounds are great! I like the versatility of rounds though!

What’s your budget my friend?

haha it never ends! people keep commenting this

love a mustang!

You’ll want a 5 string to get the really low notes but you don’t need a 5 string to achieve the tone! General rule of thumb, play softer, closer to the neck role off some tone on a passive bass or roll off some treble and a small bass boost 🙌🏾

@@The_official_c thank you for advise, i make music with vst. last week i had fall in love of guitar and bass electric, because i discover there are low prize ( harley benton) i think i can be more creativ with it. the bass always attracted me. and i thought its was difficult but since i learned some jazz theory, i see better. and i discover Tab too :o with 0 1 3 4 :o more easy than to read sheet . thank you, u play super smooth, its inspire and motive me : happy new year from France

These are round wounds - I find I get the most versatility out of it

@@The_official_c thanks!

Aguilar ag700 now but what you were hearing was probably direct

not on the bass I played, they'll definitely help you there but if you're running 1 bass and need a versatile range of sounds (like a set with slap or more agressive tones along with more typical neo soul/r&b numbers) I've found it way easier to dial down my town than to brighten it up

No specific song, although I’m sure you could find 10 different songs with a bass line like this 🙌🏾

haha what can I say

Love flatwounds!

ha! I keep getting this

thank you! it's the_official_c 👊
