In the STUDIO with DAVE ELLEFSON (ex Megadeth, Dieth)! 

Hope you enjoyed this! ➡Get the full course here: bit.ly/48V4tLU🤘

That DI tone is sick already.

Wow! What an absolutely amazing experience that must have been!

Dave is so. Fucking. Solid! Seriously, what a privilege to watch him track. Professional, precise, and locks in perfectly with the drums. Thanks for this footage, and great job producing dude

Ellefson plays very clean and supertight. I have great experiences from recording a bass with a graphite neck in terms of clarity and bite. The sound is menacing good. Calls for a cold beer.

Dave always have the best pick attack and tone to my ears.

I think it's not only an amazing "lesson by practice" for producers to see how to make an instrument fit in a mix, because it's litteraly a recording of the session it's also a useful tool for musicians to know what to tell the producer about their vision without wasting everyone's time, truely a course everyone should follow ! I'll buy it when i'll have more money but among online metal mixing courses, this one looks like the most useful not only for producers but also for performers !

one of my favorite bass dudes. awesome.

Thanks for having recorded this, nice documentarry. Very interesting.

Good stuff, really enjoyed getting to see you produce a bit there. Solid tone too!

Very cool how the signal splitter works! And what an absolute Legend, Mr. Dave Ellefson! Bringing the Dangle! 😎🤘

Very nice love watching your channel. Very cool to have Dave Ellefson tracking away and sounds fantastic.

nice to see the old Trace Elliot amp getting some love. awesome

This was beyond awesome...what a privilege to watch,thank you!!!!!!!!!

His playing is so spot on. I just love it!

Kristian, your arrangement tips in this clip were spot on. I like your ear!

Enjoy the video. Great recording session with Dave E.

Oh i've been waiting for this, Kohle!! Thanks!!!

Awesome!!! Can’t wait for this course, I hope anyway :)

" I've got to interrupt here" Love it xD Amazing and solid content as usual Kohle, I'm learning a lot, thank you so much :)

Dave is one of my influences and I've always loved the articulation of using a pick on bass. I just wish I could get a break in the business. Great video as always. Would love to record with you. Best wishes and much love.

Super cool. Super duper cool. Excellent job.

Amazing tone! Good job!!

Been using the VT Bass since it’s inception. Powerful unit.

This is incredible

I really liked that producing part of this. I'm not a pro or anything but I really love working with good musicians who respect my ideas to probably make their art more potent what comes to arrangement. Unfortunately some amazing guys I've worked with have gotten record deals and are working with "real pros" now so my little home studio is just collecting dust. :D

This is awesome and Daves new band sounds tufffff!

Amazing Di tone ! ellefson is a legend, greetings from Argentina !!

as soon as he plays I hear megadeth

I was just thinking about Dave's Modulus the other day and wishing I'd see him bust it out again- thing sounds nasty. But then again, everything Dave does sounds killer

This was great! this inspired me to add some ORANGE cabs to my studio. 👍

Best video to date 🤘🤘

Greetings from Jackson, MN!! 😉🤘🤘

Very cool stuff! I wish all the bassists would understand so well the critical importance of their tone. It starts with the playing. Dave is amazingly consistent and in the pocket.

Awesome, sounds killer , solid bass tone and guitars tone and riffs really cool too

Daves a Legend!!! Excellent video brotha!!

Awesome...love Megadeath tones

I remember watching a video and I cant remember who did the video but they said dont palm mute your bass, cut to Dave palm muting! His verse riff in symphony of destruction is palm muted. Don't mess with a legend lol. Great video man!

wow, the best DI tone from a bass!

new bass strings are just so vital for good clarity bass tones in my opnion

That was fantastic! I really enjoyed that. Dave is the reason I wanted to be a bassist, he really knows his shit.

I can't help but find that SIT Strings logo rather fitting for Ellefson

Great video

This is some super high quality Kristian!

Great chemistry between all of you. That trace Elliot is 🔥

Wow! That was refreshing to watch Dave tracking and what a solid bass tone!

One of Brutus's fav bass tones is Dalton's on Grammatrain's Lonely House album. wish he knew the entire chain on that one

Awesome! 🤘

god damn.. that is one SWEET modulus bass 😎😎😎

This Trace Elliot amp head is a beast

funk yeah dude. thats the shizz. amazing.

Love the tones!! It's funny to see a bugera amp, i got one and wouldn't sell, trade or dispose of it, ever!

My man! This is awesome 🤘🏻

I’ve always enjoyed tech 21 bass tones

awesome

Cool!

Awesome 👍🏼

Great job man!

John Entwistle would have loved to have this tone even once. Excellent!

It always drove me nuts cause the best bass tone to me would be after maybe a few days of playing. Like when you get a bad haircut and it grows out just a little and looks good for about a day

does dave play with his "bass" on video?

benutze auch das B7 ultra v2. einfach sehr viel möglich mit dem teil und prägt doch sehr stark meinen sound :D

It's fair to say that SansAmp BDDI and B7K are the old an the new industry standards.

Years ago I used to do the same thing. Ran a 5 string bass in place of a 4 and tuned up a half step.

Fun! But all I’d need is the bass, DI and one of those pedals!

JUSTICE for Ellefson baby.

The concept of tuning up instead of just using the right strings/scale length for the tuning your band is in seems like a weird work around for a problem that is only in the player's head.

I like the way you suggest how the certain bass parts may be by singing them, luke a true producer of golden era😀

🤘

damn they tune the bass up now, the meshuggah method i call it

These guys meet on chat roulette?

Foppy B? Fanned fret long scale...... But this bass sounds gorgeous.........

Nice the Dieth album was good.

Well. His set has a 128 B-string, but he tuned up to C to have it tighter. What about using a 135 B-String? I know there are trade offs. For instance if you would use a 140 or even thicker, than the tone becomes surprisingly duller, because it lost flexibility and therefore the ability to produce higher clear overtones. just for interest: If you use 200 or 210 for low F# than even the overtones are not harmonic anymore because the string becomes so thick that it cannot be treated a a one dimensional string but a three dimensional object. Overtons are reflected inside the string so that they run a longer way inside the string compared to the foundation tones. I can recommend Pyramide. They produce all kind of strings exactly to your specs. And they are not expensive. They also made my 8-string low B tuning string set accordig to my specs.

David Ellefson: the only bass player legally allowed to use shark-tooth inlays.

He appears to be so easy to work with as far as accepting ideas.

@5'37'' : hey guys there is a tuner in Cubase, it works very well, you just insert it on the input channel and you're good to go...

And, obviously both guys don't smoke in Tony's pot. They'd take the custom one as a ruler, of course, they'd put seven strings on the very standard fretboard. I still got those RFC in passive mode. Rob, Robert, Alberta. Namastè.

Can you make a video about how hard to pick the bass strings? It seems like he barely hits the strings.

Dave's just a cool normal motherfucker seems like. Keep up the metal Dave. One thing, does he tune all the strings up half step or just the B string to go with drop C guitars?

Kohle teaches Dave how to clank Dave gets a job with Overkill.. Coincidence 🤔 I think not.. Now you gotta get the father of clank on the channel D.D. And have him rate your process. Haha

Friedman t-shirt is for the joke?

It looks like cubase 5 LoL

Nothing to see here, just playing da bass.

So since the whole thing about Ellefson grooming a kid has been debunked..he essentially was just doing something you all do quite frequently in your rooms anyways. I really don't see why everyone has to act like goofy 13 year olds about something completely unimportant. It's time to grow up, kids.

i will refrain from making any ellefson jokes i promise

Oh dear, sunglasses indoors bellend alert...

That Dark glass is nowhere near as good as the VT. Please use your ears people!

I like the idea of running the signal through a guitar amp as well and adding in a little bit of that sizzle for some extra cut. But the main takeaway here for me truly is: the instrument itself is set up really well and has a good solid and snappy sound to it. You put that in the hands of a player with good technique and then the rest of the recording gear is secondary, you can basically get away with almost anything you want.

KILLER. I actually had one of those old Trace Elliot AH500's, but loaned it to a friend who got it stolen from a gig. This video makes me want to go find another one!!

He's *so* good, Jesus. Just flawless.

Great video
