A sock in a bass guitar gets THIS sound...

Music gear and post production is nice in getting new and creative sounds from your instruments...but sometimes all you need is laundry!
Here's a link to the video where I first saw someone use this trick:
• Ebi Soda - Summer One ...

I was expecting this guy to have thousands of subscribers, but only 60?!?!?!?!? Keep going and you WILL be big someday for sure.

[@_israelferraro]

Thanks so much for the support!

[@arknoth8353]

I thought the same!

[@therealeikichionizuka]

This is an old school technique the 60s players (especially Motown) would do for their records, but most would actually just cut up a piece of foam and stick it in their bass.

[@_israelferraro]

Oh cool! I didn't realize it was so popular that long ago. Thanks for the info!

[@therealeikichionizuka]

@@_israelferraro np! bassists help bassists

[@HSithis]

thats basically a DIY foam mute. makes it sound "vintage"

[@_israelferraro]

"Vintage" is so the perfect description for it! Yes lol!

[@MissMusicSimone]

The sock made it sound more acoustic! 😮

[@_israelferraro]

Right!? It was pretty crazy! Adding post production to recorded instruments is cool and all, but sometimes you just gotta mess with the instrument itself😆

[@EntertainmentKorner]

Sounds dope!

[@TheAgent813]

Genius the sock sound for the bass guitar 😊

[@_israelferraro]

Haha thanks man! Always thinking of ways to change things up every now and then😆

[@sosmanoriginal7048]

I use a piece of foam from furniture packaging for similar effect, keep rocking man!

[@_israelferraro]

Yo, furniture packaging would sound so cool. I know what I'm doing after my next Ikea purchase😂

[@BELLAMCMEOW]

that actually sounds sick

[@andresguillen6750]

i can use my bedside socks for a crunchier sound

[@Momofukudoodoowindu]

Bro ew

[@jamcam9]

Kind of what Carol Kaye does with foam.

[@MisterNiles]

Awesome. I discovered the wonderful world of sock guitar in the early 90s. My friends would make fun of me, but sock guitar on six string, bass and, my personal favorite, fretless bass, is a useful tool, especially in the studio. Just use a clean sock :)

[@_israelferraro]

Man that's so cool! I never knew so many people used the sock/foam technique! It's a sick sound for sure!

[@johndoe4220]

Try a sponge instead of a sock.

[@_israelferraro]

Good idea! I'll definitely have to try that in a future video!

[@tandersen25]

I think you should do a series of putting objects under the strings and seeing what they sound like 😅

[@aghastlyghost]

Flips the term "put a dock in it" on its head a bit. Nice jam.

[@_israelferraro]

That's good😂

[@excuse_me_mister]

Sponge!

[@_israelferraro]

Ooo not a bad idea...may have to try that in a short😉

[@Micamicamico]

Low sub count surprised me
