Marcello, there's a caveat you need to be aware of: I used to deliberately "wreck" a bass to make it hard to play and then practice on it. However 35 years later my right hand, the plucking hand, has permanent nerve damage in my fingertips, this makes playing any bass very painful and consequently has all but ended my playing career. Don't be concerned with playing hard to be heard, after all, that why we have amplifiers.
I definitely agree with what you say. I've been playing bass for a few years and I also tried this way of practicing and it's not entirely recommended. In the long run it can cause tendonitis or joint problems. Please be careful when you practice.
Thanks mark you are right not challenging your self is not practice. You are not going to get better any other way. You inspired me to work on something I have been avoiding because I found it to hard
Wow this Is amazing advice!, dude your totally one of the best teachers on RUclips.
Thank you so much! :)
helped me fix the action on my bass for an upcoming gig! Thanks so much!
Rookie bassist here with 12 yrs playing guitar. I bought my bass from Sweetwater in February. Shipped from HQ in Indiana all the way to my home in TX. Action is a little high and the strings have 0 silk so it's hard to slide. Good workout to say the least. Slap hurts but I like it
It reminded me Jaromír Jágr training routine after the regular training, when he attached weights to his ankles and practiced shooting with iron weight discs instead of pucks.
Dude you're so smart that hack just blew my mind. It definitely will give a struggle on practicing
Great video! I practice on an acoustic bass most the time. About the same idea. The acoustic is not a lot harder to play but it tells the absolute truth. lol
This is how I learned my guitar chords! I had a student guitar with the worst possible setup and rainbow strings lol, I figured, if I could learn on this thing I could play a beautiful instrument with a great setup. It worked! This technique 1000% works!
You just got a new subscriber
Great idea on the harder to use bass idea. Makes sense
I like how to explain stuff clearly no noodling and trailing off
Good job!
Yeah, using a "harden" set up bass is a great idea and a cool concept. Only thing I would point is that your technique should be highly refined, cos if not, all your bad playing habits will be translated to the other bass.
Great advice thanks, when practicing with a cheap Bass don't worry about how the bass sounds focus on you're clean execution and accuracy
Thanks Marcelo, great idea. Like a runner training with ankle weights. Your videos on set-up and intonation were also very helpful to me. Turning that truss rod has always been somewhat of a mystery.
I never practice on my bass I perform with. I refuse to practice on anything but my old ass Yamaha early 90's rbx fretless. The idea being, my fretless is incredibly challenging to play because the action is super high and the roundwounds have chewed fretboard, so I work harder for it. By the time I play those patterns on my gig bass, it is a breeze to play because I have worked harder. Works for me lol. I dont even play my fretless anymore live, just the fretted.
This is the best tip that I hear on a long time.
Infinite thanks.
i agree i had a same thing with my second bss action was high and i was the only i could play it i bought myself a five and wow lets say i felt it was easy on the five once u nail it on the high action one
What a beautiful special Bass and Video! GREAT Marc!
Could you define ‘pretty high action’ in terms of say action at the 17th fret?
This is a good idea! I do a similar thing where I use a double bass, but I never thought to make a bass guitar harder to play.
Such an amazing video man, nice job, looking forward to the next one ❤️🤘🎸
Fantastic advice. Thank you.
What bass strings do u use? btw great vid!!
I have a travel bass I practice on, it's kind of a odd bass. It's a steinberger spirit. But I use my music man bass to play with other people. I do like the steinberger because its easy to travel with, and easy to store in tight places. But its harder to play because it's a little odd, It's difficult to describe the challenge of this bass, but it is challenging.
One question... One advice...
How do I approach to play iron maiden.... Starting from their second album.. Killers.. any hack... I use songsterr.. the free version n my ears suck anyways... So if u have a formula.. plz share
And you give me BIG BIG reason to buy a new one!
Coming up to the 8 minute mark I literally thought he said "you can get a cheap fifteen hundred dollar bass" lol.... Had to listen back... Man my nicest piece isn't even $1500 hahaaa Cheers!
He said "50-100 dollar bass"
@@Luqmas thank you, we figured that out. Hense the comment :)
I did the same thing. ;)
Yo bass wiz I have some questions… when musicians perform live and some are given soloing time, what they play, is it written in music score or do they really solo? And if you are given soloing time what goes through your mind how do you approach it? Do you think of the technique you are going use and play riffs that you know and mix them up or play what you hear in your head and bring it out through your fingers like George Benson?
Depends on the gig and situation.. it could be any of those
Wow fastest reply ever…thanks bass wiz… appreciate it and keep those tutorials coming wherever you’re free. God bless
Good advice
Judging by the quick little screw driver test, seems all my basses have been setup like that lol. Either way loved the video, challenging myself was always the way I liked learning the bass but I’ve begin to hit a brick wall after more of the basics stuff so hopefully I can move onto the harder techniques and songs to improve
Well, the point of the lesson is not to compare your setup to mine, it's to have a practice bass that is setup higher and harder to play than your main one...
Marcelo Feldman - The Bass Wizard I meant by all of them were setup to the higher action vs the lower one you described which is a good thing in terms of learnig
dude, ! this is great !!
Iron maiden s bass lines r overwhelming
.. tough..... N sir Steve harris is a galloping beast god....
Hey Marco I was wondering how ur able of doing the double thumb technique so well when u stand up with ur strap so low. I usually play with my strap that low too but I just can't seem to double thumb as well in that height
Who's Marco?
@@TheBassWizard fuck sorry autocorrect doesn't seem to like me
Great Points. Cheers!
The burn is lactic acid. Good advice to break.
Helpful
string action on my bass is around 3 mm (0.11 inch) from bottom of the string to the top of fret wire on E string 12 fret
is that considered high?
Its personal preference, if you like how it feels and sounds, than its not high
Brasil aqui :) Very good
High gravity training: Check
Hyperbolic time chamber: Pending
My only bass is like your practice bass, so when I can fix it I'll be like you haha
Marcello, I like your videos, But I’m confused as to why you call this one a hack. Please help. Thanks.
Tamburitza bass is very hard to play. It is big and action is so high on it and it is tuned a whole step above bass guitar od double bass. So my electric basses play like a breeze, even the stagg plays really good.
I do appreciate the function of a short video but I've been getting into podcasts a lot while at work or driving and it would be so sweet if you got a guest on and made a more long form video with discussions and break downs of concepts... Possibly more on the side of a rig rundown/interfacing technical options of all sorts. Not necessarily your preferences but just a breakdown. Like a Bass geared version of what Rick Beato does with "everything music". Regardless I love your channel!!
Thank you! That would be awesome, but I've noticed that longer informative videos do not perform well on my channel, so I try to keep it to around 10 minutes
@@TheBassWizard maybe we will get to see you on someone else's channel in that form ;). Thanks dude!
Great idea. Sadly I only have one bass
So what happened to the White Schecter?
Nothing... Still rockin it, just haven't used it on a video in a while
Let's practice with a righthanded bass upside down on left mode.
4:28 super easy ;)
There’s nothing worse than cramp hand during a gig 😬
I get what you mean but playing is practicing fella you're not wrong but you're not right
First
cheap 1500 dollar bass.? if i had your money i'd throw mine away lol.
50-100
