    I mean, I use a Digitech Chorus Factory CF-7 on base. Never cranked it up so it sounded like and of these demos. usually i have my speed rather low and then the effect blend slightly noticeable so it just isn't a pedal i turn on and it does nothing. Took me a while to find the exact sound i liked, so many options on it.

      @tylerhonsel8136 3 года назад +1

      I think he sounds pretty good actually. It seems like the action is very low on the Lakland and he’s not adjusting his attack to account for the fret-buzz, thus making his tone a little flimsy, but overall, it definitely seems as if he knows what he’s doing on the instrument. He’s a good player with creative ideas.

    The strings on that lakland are hitting something. Also the looping doesn't really help if every piece uses random tunes and random settings on the pedals, which are set to the extremes. Might as well just buy a keyboard.

      @craigdamage 5 лет назад

      Modulation effects make your instrument sound out of tune. That is by definition the "EFFECT" 12 string guitarists sometimes deliberately tune their octave string slightly flat to get a natural acoustic version of that modulating out of tune sound.

  • @miscellaneous263
    @miscellaneous263 4 года назад +8

    Almost every other comment says that the tone is awful and the bass chorus should sound more subtle. However, I believe that there is no such thing as "good" or"bad" tone since it's 100% subjective. Bass is an INSTRUMENT, you can make it sound however you want if it suits your vision. It doesn't even necessarily have to be played as a rhythm section instrument. Personally, I like the more cranked tone as shown in this video.
