      @Sam Tidwell: _" aggressively call me brother"_ I'm dying laughing. I remember how that was a term of endearment a couple decades ago. Now it really is more often an aggressive thing most often used to imply some sort of right wing racist comaraderie. But the reason it's funny here is because Sammy is not _that guy._

      I have one of their acoustic basses it is a 6 string with a low F# B E A D G tuning. It is definitely loud acoustically compared to many other acoustics. But they will custom build options, as mine has Both a piezo and a bass bar pickup setup each with its own controls and outputs.

    4:16 Try plucking a string on a Bass guitar without muting the others, they will ring along, if the played tone ist one of their harmonics (I believe).
    That's why muting is very important when playing Bass.
    Same with the Piano if you hold the sustain pedal and play a note, the whole thing sounds in sympathy.

  • @DarkRattlehead
    @DarkRattlehead 3 года назад

    Sympathetic resonance happens on a regular guitar as well, which is why well adjusted guitars sound "more rich" than the other ones.
    This is why muting is critical: try playing an E on any string, then mute only the string you just played. 2 or 3 other strings should still be vibrating!
    The more strings on a guitar, the richer the tone gets, but the harder the muting game gets. And when we start adding distortion to all of this, things can get quite messy!
    This thing takes it to another level though!
