The hallmark trait of any seasoned musician is being able to adapt to the gig, and any song at that gig. Don't bring your BOSS® Metal Zone pedal to the jazz gig...right? Sure, that's common sense - but don't stop there. Go the extra mile and nail the right TONE for the gig. You'd be surprised how you can achieve this with ONE bass and NO effects!
NOTE: Please listen to this lesson through a sound system or headphones to be able to hear the examples and tonal comparisons as optimally as possible!

I'm new to bass, and I'm floored. This is an amazing demonstration of how just twiddling with the knobs on my starter gear can get me closer to that bwump-y upright bass sound. Thanks for the detailed instructions!

Changing to flatwounds would definitely help a lot too. Also, some sort of string muting toward the bridge is useful to help simulate some of the decay that happens on upright due to the bass's hollow construction and the composition of the strings. Some people use foam strips or actually use mutes created for this purpose, but I like to use the base of my palm for muting, although it means you can't pluck the strings way up over the neck (unless you have freakishly long fingers). But the tradeoff isn't bad, because good palm muting technique actually enhances the low frequencies for some reason, in a way that foam mutes can't/don't (if someone could explain the physics of this, or invent a mute that provides the same low frequency enhancement that palm muting does, I would be grateful!). Oh yeah, you also want to make sure any compression is turned off, and actually you might want to trim back some of the lows once you incorporate all the tricks, because although it might sound good on its own, in the mix it can sound unnaturally deep and overwhelm things a bit too much.

Wow, very very close tone. Didn‘t expect from this bass to get it so close to an upright.

@michaellorenz7177 Год назад

When I played jazz in high school, Fender P bass with the tone knob rolled half open, and flats were as close as I could get.

@bertilow

That worked really well in context.

This quite informative. I don’t play jazz personally, but this would come in handy for getting that kind of bass tone. Plus the tune kinda reminds me of that one song from the movie the errand boy where Jerry Lewis acts like a boss.

Great video Mark!

thank you for sharing!

Good video. Really this shows how you can change your sound on EB through pick up selection eq, and hand placement. However, if a leader wants an upright, they'll hire an uprigt player. Learning both instruments is twice the work, but it also has given me twice the gigs.

Killer bass man!!! poplar!

@isaigi97 Год назад

invaluable for me rn w my new fretless. your videos are the best

@flus. Год назад

Thanks for the video! Great info! I'm using Upright bass impulse responses for that. Put in a convolution reverb +EQ = et voilà

@Oscaraha Год назад

Favour the front pickup, flats and some kind of mute gets you a long way.

@debomb721 Год назад

Wow thats dope

@marc.6221 Год назад

When I tried to imitate a pizzicato sound in my brassorchestra I played with neck pickup, high lows, nearly no treble and also less middle frequency but also picked the strings with my thumb and kinda palm muted the strings a little bit so the strings would have this high decay. It really worked quite good

@zenzenzen4741 2 года назад

I’m using a Corvette 6-String with two Basslines Soapbar pickups. With bright strings what I do, is blend the knob over to my neck pickup, turn my bass to ten, my treble to one and play up by the 24th fret bending my wrist playing like it’s a standup. It does the trick, close to Marks situation!!

Sounds great, also saves you from having to buy one of those humongous basses.

@shawnirwin6633

That's about as close as one could imagine, not quite as good as the real thing, but certainly something that could help a modern base player create something very close to the sound. I really love the sound of an upright base, it's a shame they are not used as much in popular music nowadays.
