  • This is the last of the video clips I have from the Blunt Force Summer Camp with Cannibal Corpse at Mana Recording. THIS is the bass you hear on the new record, "Red Before Black". If You have enjoyed these clips, PLEASE go and buy "Red Before Black" You'll be glad you did.

    Cannibal Corpse is awesome. Thanks for the video. I'm a bass fanatic. Got my Spector about 20 years ago(instead of a car in high school.) Love it everyday. Cheers from Alaska!

    Love the blood splatter but I think the red bass with black splatter looks even better.

    Its only a half step down tuning. Its a 5 string folks. Take away the B string and you have Eb tuning. Nothing against anything or anybody. Just putting that out there.

      I think Cannibal Corpse always essentially tuned to Eb but since they normally played 7 string guitars and use insane distortion, it sounds lower.

    • @gredangeo
      @gredangeo 6 лет назад +5

      Standard 5 string goes to B. Thus G# is three half steps down. Not one.

    • @pgdonahue31
      @pgdonahue31 6 лет назад +1

      gredangeo we're both right. Watch the whole video. Says he's setting it up for A# tuning for a few songs on the new record. Also known as Bb half step down.

    How do you avoid fret buzz in such low tunings

    • @GranvilleGuitars
      @GranvilleGuitars  6 лет назад +15

      Wim Van De Voorde - you don't.
      A certain amount of buzz helps it cut through the mix.

      The 35 inch scale helps as well. I have both a 34 and 35 and get less buzz on the 35.

      The correct pickup heights are the ones that sound best to you.

      I read the specs on this bass from Spector and he uses .170 on the low but those are hard to find, I use .130 for drop g and they work fine

    • @GranvilleGuitars
      @GranvilleGuitars  6 лет назад

      If you are referring to how high I set his strings off the fretboard, I have no idea. I start with a baseline measurement and then let the instrument tell me what I can get away with. Alex tends to prefer his action on the low side. That's about all I can tell you. Thanks for tuning in. More stuff coming!

      CaptainChaos88 - Alex's action isn't what I would describe as excessively low.
      With a capo at the first fret and the neck set straight, his action measures around .050.

    • @gregg4164
      @gregg4164 6 лет назад

      What are you setting up for neck relief at that string height? Does Alex use his basses with the neck set straight or does he have some relief set into the neck?
