Thick Bass Tone - That's Affordable (No Plugins) 

Thats a high HIGH compliment, well I am committed to continue so expect higher frequency uploads!

Encourage him to make them with heart not just for the quantity.

can I get a thickness witness!

My pleasure! More to come 🤝🏼

Something went wrong with the bright round wound strings slappy slap era aha

Thank you!!

Its a great time to start. I am excited for your journey! Never stop experimenting!!

right? and just like you I am a fan of curly fries but not arbys, yet this comment made my day 🙃

Really appreciate that!

Thank you kind sir, glad you are here! I really enjoy the long form nature and have many more videos cue'd up ready to go!

Appreciate that, bass is one of my favorites to get down on.

Oh are you asking for me to create my own digital models of my analog chains? I haven't studied the technique much but would be interested. Sounds like a good challenge.

New combo unlocked

TY! I have fun with the edits :)

I didn’t even know they made ir pedals. My mind is blown

TY! I been writing out some different concepts so I hope to continue to pull the curtain back!

@@vvundertone I look forward to it!

non negotiable!

I'm happy that resonated with you. Now lets create!

Production Philosophy™ is what i'm on lately and I appreciate the love!

What a great chain! Love Zoom stuff. First time doing anything with music production was a Zoom MRS-4. Nostalgia :)

yea, but for a lot of us that isn't very fun or inspiring. if you're an engineer only interest in career, stick to in the box. If you're an artist, art should be fun so follow your curious heart. it's great that everything is accessible through our little plastic brain boxes, but much like the difference between a DJ and a band, there is magic and inspiration with the multiple analog human brains converging within a band to create something in it's imperfections and unpredictable nature compared to a single brain controlling a quantized plastic super brain. same goes for the use of primitive, imperfect analog gear and it's varying unpredictable analog componentry. it's different for everyone, but with the raise of AI it's not long before more people become desensitized to the modern techno world and start desperately grasping for all things analog and human. It already seems to be happening at a pretty exponential rate.

@@mrsvancesnightmare my thoughts exactly, great take.

​@@mrsvancesnightmare Techno here to stay sorry brother

Yes and no... for me and so many, using analog gear isn't only about the sound. It's also about *slowing down*, committing to a tone (rejecting the concept of endless revisions), embracing limitations, sharing equipment with friends, modifying, customizing, and not to mention recording music with no screens make it's a lot easier to stay focused. And then the argument of if you know you know - there is no comparison to real tape, tubes, wires, speakers, air, microphones, and transformers.

the part about "desperately grasping for all things analog and human" is brilliant. I think this is the logical pendulum swing once the peak of hyper refined and processed starts to fatigue the world.

It’s not completely necessary. I do like to add it for further color and some saturation, but it’s always best to use what you got and get the most out of it. When the time is right, a tasty preamp will arrive in your life.

Its day and night! Helps with the groove too!

🤣 TY! 💸

Oooh okay this is a good challenge. Will do!

@@vvundertone thank u! looking forward to it!!

Woa a P for 159?! Never heard of them. TY for turning me on game!

A pedal with built in line is genius! Wish more did the same. Just looked up that dbx unit and it looks so pretty! I absolutely love that era of design. Hopefully I stumble upon one at the Salvation Army!

I do like to do both. But right now I don't have a means to do so. But that is the best tone for sure. Adding the room vibe is a game changer. Creates depth and space!

When tracking in I keep it subtle but later mixing is when things can def get surgical! Recording a vid on this soon

That's always the goal! (Best compliment) 🔥

😅 ty

ty mate

🤣 someone noticed! Overhead camera mount my favorite investment by far 😛

absolutely. everytime I pick up a bass and it has rounds i'm like ew no

All my friends absolutely crush it on Facebook marketplace. I haven't used it because Facebook makes my brain melt but the deals I have seen are jealously inducing. Highly recommend that, Offerup, stopping in random small music stores, thrift shops when traveling. It really depends on the music you make, and what tone goals you have. I would say a good start is getting some kind of cassette recorder. A DBX 163 compressor, and possibly even a Pioneer SG-540 type 70s silver face graphic EQ to experiment with!

love you back mate! 🫡

D'Addario Chromes. For whatever reason bass strings are always exponentially pricier than guitar strings!

@@vvundertone thx - I have the same bass (in green) and have been thinking about trying flatwounds on it.

I feel you, money is tight for us all these days. I try to highlight the fact most of this gear is the same price as plugins. the dbx 163 can be found for around $150 - quite the score. And if you end up needing some cash you can always resell it, unlike a plugin.

I hope you spend at least 3 hours a day without! That'll get you our the beginner mode ASAP!

This is fact

Ty for watching G.
