Don't listen to the haters, that zoom pedal is VERY useful in finding how each artist gets their tone settings and how to change your own depending on which band you're playing with. You can easily switch patches between your "Geddy" sound and your "Steve Harris" sound and take a look at the settings of each and learn something like "oh I guess on my own amp I should raise the mids higher than I think I need to" because I can't afford $3000 of amps/pedals to play around with. Keep up the good work bud!
You can also get the "Steve Harris sound" by buying any P-bass and playing triplets fingerstyle without zoom pedals. Love maiden man! Good taste. Have a nice week.
Kids, emulation is ok and everything, especially when your just learning early on. By all means, learn what your heros do, and how they got there. But At some point you gotta sound like YOU.
Just get a used Sansamp BDDi and you'll have the core sound of the album. Engineers very seldomly use the miced up cab sound in the mix, and if they do, its minimal at best.
Smells like teen spirit....for hours......and hours..... If your band didn't do this in the begining thinking you sound absolutely amazing together, are you even really a band?
Haven't been in a band but trying to form one (I'm definitely filling in the bass spot as that's my jam). As per listening to CDs closely, Nevermind may be the only one I really listen closely to. Of course, I always skip the first track haha.
Awesome work as always, Andrew! I'd LUUURVE a 'How to sound like..' vid for Ghost's latest album, Impera - the bass tone on that album is mind-blowing!
you're spot on with the zoom pedal. their multi effects like this and the smaller single-box-sized units are absolutely some of the best money someone can spend on guitar and bass effects. I moved into an HX Stomp when the pandemic hit and then more recently expanded and "professionalized" my board since moving to a larger Holeyboard format (I like building boards, it turns out!)
I actually put the Rat and the Zoom head to head and they sound very close: Zoom B1x Four Squeak VS Proco Rat ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aY2LSpp0ZIA.html
Been a Nirvana fan since the late 90s. Nobody explained Krist's tones like you did here. Just got a last piece of the Zoom B1x four for our bassist.... Thanks man.
Hey Andrew, any chance you´d make a "How to sound like" video on Alice in Chains, whether it's Mike Inez or Mike Starr. They both sound great and there's not much info I can find online other than playing Spector and Warwick basses through an AMPEG. I would love a video including the Zoom pedal to cover these bass tones. Thanks a lot!
A multi effect pedal like the zoom is one of the best things you can buy as a starting player. You get sooo many sounds and you learn to recognize and dial in tones. And they let you find your own preferences. Once you realize which effects you really use the most, you can buy those effects in separate pedals and you keep the zoom as back up for the more rare tones you don’t need a lot.
I love these videos man. Super in depth for players on a budget and the tones are really well matched. The tongue in cheek banter is great too 😂 well done!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. I actually bought this pedal some months ago when I made up my mind watching one of your "How to Sound Like..." videos. I'm currently looking forward to moving to analog pedals and building my own sound, but here I am once again watching you and making me want to go explore my Zoom B1X Four pedal more!
i’ve always prefer to play riffs and n the e string only. i never knew that’s how krist did it too. i just know where all the right notes are better on the e and sliding around sounds cool
Super cool!!!! I should actually buy this pedal... haha I just have all separate individual pedals but really thinking I should get something like this one instead GREAT VID as ALWAYS thanks!! and hi from Eagle Mountain Utah!!!!
Maybe to you, but I got a surprising number of requests for this video. I think there’s always an opportunity to learn, even if you don’t love the band or the player.
Because his tone is legendary and he is a brilliant player in terms of creating bass lines that serve the song yet have their own rhythmic identity aside. That’s why.
@@davedixon2167 I sell them. The build quality is today is junk, compared to how the components were built in the 90's. Thats why the 90's ones can still be found online. Unfortunately the electronics/modelling reflect the price. Either way, they're garbage.
The Epiphone bolt on Tbirds are very hit or miss, kind of like a lot of Squiers, but the neck through Vintage Pro Tbird is a fantastic value- fixes the 3 point bridge and sounds and feels a lot better than some Gibson Tbirds. Really an underrated bass and you can cover a lot of different sounds with one outside of the both pickups with a pick tone that comes up a lot
