hi don :)

No idea-I know Dino has at least seen this video so if they like me, I’m sure they’ll be in touch soon enough. They were on tour in Australia when this audition started

with good gear and setup you can get better sound playing with fingers than with pick

This was recorded through two of them haha, Harmonic Booster and Hyper Luminal.

Thank you! Yeah, love this bass. Shockingly versatile preamp

Thank you!

You should read through some of the other comments where I detailed exactly why I chose not to use a pick. Trust me, I can read, and I can also make artistic choices where I want/need. I also guarantee if you listened and didn’t watch, you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.

I probably would

Your fingering is great. But the attack of a pick is much different.

Fortunately I quite like tequila haha

@DanSaillant very nice. I have two Warwicks. 5 string thumb and my baby beast is 6 string thumb broadneck. But those fanned frets really have me contemplating some thangs.

If choosing not to play with a pick is a deal breaker for them then I’m not a good fit. Zero interest into forcing myself into limiting technical boxes for the sake of a job

In music business there is no freedom for hired musician. Unfortunately they won't look at the video even if it is really well played. Pick was requirement period.

@@alexandredesmonts35 he liked the post on instagram tho 💁‍♂️ Also “no freedom for hired musicians” is completely not true. I’m assuming you don’t work in the industry or you’d know that

@@alexandredesmonts35 Freedom Or Fire!

​​@@DanSaillant#1: Playing with a pick was a requirement, and that just tells me you skimmed over the rules and only read the audition part. #2: "Zero interest into forcing myself into limiting technical boxes for the sake of a job" Well, clearly, you were interested in getting the job, seeing as you made an audition.😂 You skimmed over the rules, and when people in the comments told you that you needed a pick for the audition, you got super pissy for no reason.🤣 You could've just taken some extra time out of your day to re-record with a pick and not be an asshole in the comments, but you didn't. Anyone with common sense was never gonna hire somebody who acts like a child over a comment. Also playing with a pick wasn't gonna fucking kill you.😭🙏 #3: Fear factory was never looking for a super technical or flashy bassist. They've never had a bassist like that nor have they had songs that require that. That's why the pick was a requirement. They weren't looking for the next Ryan Martini or Victor Wooten. Dino heard your cover, thought it was cool, and liked it on insta. I'm sure he did that with a lot of the auditions he found good, so im not sure why you thought that automatically made you special. Playing with your fingers was eaiser because you're good at it. Any decent bassist can play this song with a pick but with fingers? That takes time and alot of playing and your average bassist isn't using 3-4 fingers to play. That's also why the pick was a requirement. Creative freedom is good, believe me, but if you couldn't even follow simple instructions, you were pretty much screwed from the start. "Yeah, i want to audition for fear factory, but I wanna use my fingers even though the rules clearly state that I need a pick so i wont end up getting the job regardless." I seriously think you made this cover, uploaded it, and when you realized it required a pick you just made a bunch of half asked excuses that didn't line up with your intentions at all.

Thanks! I tried the pick but found I could play it much tighter and more consistently with fingers.

Using your thumbs really ads a lot of dynamics to the song..an your tone is great even on my shitty tablet speakers..just watched several other try outs..

@@jaysonlee4394 thank you! Glad you enjoyed 😁

Thank you!

Believe me I tried but I found this riff soooo much easier on fingers. Alternate picking game has to be perfect to nail the verse riff

@@DanSaillant cool... it's because it was in the demands

@@guitaristssuck8979I saw but chose to finger anyway after practicing for a bit. Nailing the performance is far more important to me that the tools used in my opinion. The argument could be made that as the bassist need to accommodate tools at the client’s request, and that’s totally valid. If it’s a deal breaker for them, then so be it.

@@DanSaillant well, I guess it's not mandatory for this song... but generally yeah

Your tone and consistency is superb, no clue why on earth you'd need a pick here when this works great@@DanSaillant

I’m sure somebody somewhere beat me to it, but I haven’t seen anybody else yet

@@DanSaillant I searched the song and you were 3rd result in the feed

Mine should be up soon . Good luck .. what did you use to record?

@@grocker5382 my main like rig is a Kemper, it was just that with an Aguilar Tonehammer profile straight into logic with an EQ to make the high mids pop a little more.

Guys, use your brain, if they asked for one song and everybody is doing it, what do you do? It's obvious, you film more songs; check their setlist and start from there.

Haha thanks for watching!

Much appreciated! I believe these are BH2 but this is a fairly old bass (I wanna say 2014 or 2015?) so I'm not entirely sure. They have a pretty clear but mids-heavy sound. I used to not like them because of how mids-heavy they are, but then I tried out some EMGs and realized how good I have it haha. I don't have any youtube vids with them yet, but I have the new BTB multiscale 6-string with the ibanezx T1s, and they are EXCELLENT. Clearest noise-free pickups I've ever played. I was worried about the proprietary shape in case I didn't like them, but that was def an unfounded worry

@@DanSaillant Thank you for all the details man, i hope to hear soon that new bass you're talking about!

Sure, I can work on that! Thanks for the view

Thank you!
