Fractal FM3 !
Thanks for watching!! I worked with a guitarist who had an AXE FXII but I haven't had anything to do with the FM3. Does it have much support for bass amps?
great stuff for a guitar player like myself looking to know more about bass tone!!
Hi!! Thanks very much for watching and your feedback. Really glad this was of interest.
Do you put the compressor before the amp or after it?
if you want to direct monitor in mono from your Stomp and bring less gear, you can also do this as I explained in my video (and if you want to also use the send to amp you can use a Behringer P1, it mixes 2 signals and it's cheap) ruclips.net/video/k-91OR0628w/видео.html
@@gianni.chiarello awesome! Thanks for the feedback and the link to your vid. Great insight
Great tone!! 🤘
Thanks man!!! Very much appreciated.
Great video! I tried to do this myself some time ago and realized the midi send from Command Center is also dependent on the snapshot. I’m a guitarist and usually use 2-3 snapshots per song so I’d have to program each one with the “Next Song” button. Too much programming for me and I gave up. Gonna try again and your vid is a big help! good luck
Awesome!!! Thanks for watching, and I'm glad it was helpful. let me know how it goes
Hello! - What are those silver pickups you are using in your Billy Sheehan Signature Bass? Did you have them custom colored? Also, what type of pickup are you using on your blue and yellow VH "bumble-bee" bass in the neck position? Thanks!
Hey!! Thanks for watching. The pickups are the Billy Sheehan signature DiMarzio Relentless pickups and I have a video coming soon on how I put them in. On the bumble-bee I used the DiMarzio WillPower pickups. This was a few years ago and were the ones that were on the Attitude basses. If I was to do it again, I would definately go with the Relentless as they are awesome!
@@twistieonbass THANKS!
Interesting! You'd be able to fit two or more together in the desk by using an xlr as a patch cable which might also help in the case of interference by running the xlr closer to your spot on stage for potentially better line of sight between transmitter and receiver. Seen this trick done with the U4 for iems. Would be interested to see if there is noticeable latency going wireless from the bass in to the helix and then wireless to the desk?
Hey!! thanks for watching. Yes, we have a couple running into the desk to cover mic's and sometimes my Helix. The only issue is that the spacing for XLR inputs on most desks is too narrow to fit two of these together. The way around that, is as you suggest, to use a short XLR cable. My Line 6 wireless has around 5ms latency (approximately what you hear when standing away from your amp), and these have similar. So... potentially up to 10ms latency end to end, but I haven't noticed it while playing.
@@twistieonbass thanks, might give it a try, one less cable to plug in!
@@martincarlin1987 Absolutely!!
An interesting watch. Did you note that on the BB3000, the scalloping job is unfinished? Billy said he started to do it, but felt bad about carving the bass up!
Thanks for watching. Yes. I had the chance to actually hold that guitar and noticed that. Up until recently I had left my scalloping untreated, but moisture was getting into the fretboard so I put some paint on it.
I saw u have an extension of dual switch foot attached to your hx stomp.... can u do a little video of that.... please
Absolutely! I have one for it coming up soon. It is fantastic - check it out at pedalnetics.com/product/helauxy-duo/
Hey Steve, great content and I'm not even into bass! If I can throw my 2cents in I would recommend a shorter intro. Just the "Twistie on Bass" splash is enough. The longer part I'd place at the end of your video. As fas as Audio it's OK but next step would be a Rodes Wireless mic GO with a lapel mic. Will eliminate the background distractions like squeaky chairs! Anyway love your work , keep doing it , it's good stuff
Thanks for the advice. And thanks for the continued support.
Towards the end you suggest that other units may sound better than helix. Based on sound alone what do you think is best?
@@Marshallstclair I really like the Helix platform. To my ears, I get the sound I want to hear.
@@twistieonbass thanks!
Nice job, but KISS songs bass parts have to be played with a pick!!
I know!!! Sorry... I'm so used to playing finger style I didn't even think about using a pick
@@twistieonbassthink outside of the pick!!!
Paul Stanley played bass on this song. Not Gene.
Wow!!! I didn' know that!!! Thanks so much for the info... and thanks very much for watching
Wasn't it Paul on the demo but Gene on the actual album?
@@jameshughes6049 according to Wikipedia, Paul played the albums version. Well, I never… 😂😂✌️
I was that same young boy, in my flaming youth, influenced by Gene to play bass. And are still playing today. 🤘🏼 Great vid by the way; thanks.
Thanks very much for watching!!! Definately one of my favourite KISS songs and it really was a blast to play. The AXE bass is a bit unbalanced, so hats off to Gene Simmons for being able to use that everynight.
Lovely Bass guitars 🎶🎵🎸
Thanks very much!! And thanks for watching.
I’ve got the BB735 and it’s a great bass maybe the best I’ve ever played
Hey!! Thanks for watching. While I really love my Attitude III, the BB734 is amazing for non-Attitude sounds with its active pickups and jazz bridge.
hey man, your technique is horrible..spend more money on bass lessons and less in gear...
That sky blue body tho ❤
It really is a fantastic colour isn't it!!!
Disappointed! I thought you were going to let us know a work around for the latency. I have a full iem setup but wanted to use the send as a feed to the amp before the amp/cab simulation and the send to the pa/monitoring after the simulation but time aligned properly. Your solution (just live with it) is probably the one I'll end up with too!
Hey! Thanks for watching. If I understand what you are trying to do, I would use a SEND in front of the AMP/CAB modules to your AMP, and your Main Out(s), including the whole signal patch, to the Front of House. That should work without any latency.
@@twistieonbass i say he meant latency with his pc. All he can do is reduce the DAW setting to 16bit buffer if his pc will allow it. That or have a separate 2 channel headphone mixer. One for headphone out of HX and other for DAW send with band mix minus his track. Mac users can combine multiple audio interfaces so you can just plug your HX in via USB record and monitor through HX headphone out with no latency in a studio setting.
@@daithidebarradb Thanks for the clarification. I'm using a Mac, so that is probably why I don't get that latency.
great video thanks ! I never seen a bass like this yamaha. What is it?
Hey!! Thanks for watching!! That is the Yamaha Attitude III, Billy Sheehan bass.
Earthquaker Devices is own by Yamaha?
Not that I am aware of, based on a quick look on their website.
I loved and miss my bass pod live floor effects unit
I know right!!! I still get my POD XT out every now and then! A much simpler time :-)
What about the Bass pod Go system?
No problem. I’ve heard it said by several people on RUclips that Quad Cortex was the most powerful multi effects processor on the market. I guess if you hear it enough from multiple people, the tendency is to believe it. I’ve also heard things about seamless preset changes that were not accurate. Both the original Headrush Pedalboard and the Headrush Prime can seamlessly change from one preset to another. Of course, the Tone Master Pro can do that as well. I’ve owned all of these multi effects units, so I know from experience that they have that capability. I currently use the Tone Master Pro. I’ve sold all of my other units. For me, I think the Tone Master Pro is the best all round solution. It works the way guitarist think. It’s the closest thing to using actual amps and pedals that I have found. Of course, all of this very subjective. We like what we like. Life would be boring if we were all the same. I appreciate what you do on your channel. Take care. 😎🎸
Great insight.. Marketing is everything - the first thing you see on the quad cortex site is "The Most powerful floorboard amp modeler on the planet", while Fender are pushing "A Universe of Sound". My guitarist has recently swapped over to Tone Master Pro as he believes it works/sounds better with his Fender guitars. As you say, very subjective, and controversial. Thanks very much for your support.
kemper is better than
The Tone Master Pro has an 8 core processor. And, the Headrush has a Quad Core processor, so the Quad Cotex is definitely not the most powerful multi effects unit out there.
Hey!! Thanks for the clarification, I certainly didn't get that from their website.
Which cores, though? Like, a modern 4-core i3 will run circles around even a 16-core Xeon from 2010.
I alwys pitch the helix to any of my friends that start to play live, or want to play at home
Awesome! What feature(s) do you like the most?
Helix is a no brainer, sounds excellent!
I agree! Thanks for watching and commenting
I like the helix hardware and the UI a lot. I just can't get behind the quality of the amp modeling from line 6. It just doesn't sound as realistic as kemper, quad cortex, or fractal (fender tonemaster pro doesn't sound great either). I'm still rocking kemper for both guitar and bass amps, and it's still one of the top dogs. Love it.
Hey!! Thanks for watching and for sharing your insights on the different amp models. It's always interesting to hear what works best for different musicians.
I've been using Line 6 platforms for my bass playing and home studio work for a number of years now. With all the new platforms coming out, should I change?
With all of the Line 6 models on the market today, which one are you using for your bass? Sign up to the news letter for your free guide on configuring the amp, whichever model you decide on. twistieonbass.ck.page/ampconstruct-guide
Do you take requests?
Sure! I can give it a go. What would you like.

Awesome! I use this all the time, glad it is helpful for you.
Absolutely Awesome ways to Dive Bomb a Bass! Legend!!! Great to see / here people thinking -playing outside the box and the HX Stomp / Helix Stuff is really something else. Cheers mate 🤘🎸
Hey!! Thanks very much for the feedback and for watching. Very much appreciated!!
Your bass tone sounds great on my iPhone.
Sounds even better on my headphones. Great job with the video. Thanks
Thanks very much. And thanks for taking the time to watch.
I don't understand how people get these great sounds out of the helix. When I try to set up an amp, it always sounds brittle and scooped, it sometimes feels like the parameters don't really do much.
I know exactly how you feel. Keep at it, and you'll unlock some great tones. A great place to start with really fantastic "flat"/neutral bass sounds is stuff from jon willis drtone.theblackcreekband.com/?fbclid=IwAR2eVvoRggZn_6ZXFOxvHQc2EwAbWZ-Y9cmNjEKtRLuGNPmHsF0B55-lHLM . The man is a genius. or you can grab a copy of my book where I describe how I approach setting up a signal chain and how the bass effects work geni.us/DitchAmp_Book
And 1st true love?
Absolutely. This was the first "grown up" bass I ever owned.
Great video man! I’ve messed around with the Poly Capo to help tune to drop A#/Bb but I’ll give the Pitch whammy a shot during my next rehearsal. Thanks for the idea and video!
Fantastic!!! let me know if it works for the A#/Bb
Retuning or changing basses between songs is a pain. I use the Pitch Wham effect in my Helix and HX Stomp to adjust the tuning to the song I'm playing along with.
bla...bla...bla...
Thanks. Much appreciated
