The tone on your Precision was killer, reminded me of Geezer Butler. Please keep making videos like this, we do care about this stuff and you're always very generous with your knowledge and it's very much appreciated. Thank you.
Yes, thought to Buttler too at that moment!
Thanks very much, Henry! Will do…
Your videos are so good. Straight to the point, no bs.
Your students are lucky and I hope I'll be able to get some lessons too. Cheers!
Thanks, Roberto. I don’t actually have any ‘real’ students so you’re all my students!
Thank you so very much I really appreciate your knowledge and support I find it very interesting
You are very welcome
Thanks for sharing Dan Much appreciated 🎸🎸
Thanks very much, Paul.
Great subject, very good to see the simplicity, super helpful.... again! You're a star mate 🙂
🙏🙏
It may be a cheap bass but it sounds quite amazing.
Thanks Dan, as always great stuff. For anyone who found this interesting, I highly recommend listening to Ian Allison’s recent podcast for Scott Devine, #166 from April 7th, “Does Gear Even Matter”. Made me realize I have more than enough gear for what I do bass wise, right now.
Simple is usually always better, thanks Dan 🤙🏽
Not boring. Always learn from your videos.
Thanks, Andy. 👍🙏
Great tone brotha! 🤘🏾
Thanks! 🙏🙏🙏👍👊
Hi Dan. Thank you once again for some great advice:- your videos are invaluable. This one prompted me to buy an evidence audio lyric hg cable, which in my opinion is worth every last penny. It has made every one of my basses( including a fretted and fretless Wal ) sound more vibrant and alive, with purer overtones and harmonic structure. If it improves over the reputed 40 hour burn-in period I’ll be even happier!
I don’t know why I’m so surprised:- I’m certainly nuts about hi-fi, even to the extent that e.g. I even have silver cable from my rubidium clock providing a control for my dCS digital hub ( and that doesn’t carry any signal at all, it’s just a control cable).
I can also understand why some people can’t hear any difference. I think that’s because you need a certain level of equipment to expose any difference in sound quality.
I also understand why to paraphrase a different video of yours, the vast majority of people don’t care what gear is used, but in the end I do think everyone like’s better sound.
Great comment, Jack. And I’m jealous of your Wals!!
excellent video. looking forward to one on how you record for clients
Thanks!!
I was looking into getting another bass but better cables may just be a better investment; and save me some money. Thanks for the info.
Always a good investment.
That Ibanez is a great sounding bass.
It’s a cool bass! 🙏
That was fun. 🙂
Thanks, John.
Great lesson Dan, thanks for sharing. It seems to me that your gear is not cheap, on the contrary, here in Brazil this setup is very expensive!
It’s absolutely not cheap and it’s expensive anywhere in the world! I did mention a few times that you can explore cheaper versions of everything along the entire signal chain.
Would love the video on all your basses! Since you mentioned cables, what would you recommend from bass to amp?
I’ll do it! I use Providence and Evidence Audio but they’re expensive. Klotz are good but just avoid the really, really cheap ones.
I'll check them out, thanks!
Thank you for posting this, very good info. What preset do you use on the Avalon? I find the first 4 useful, but don’t like 5 and 6.
Thanks! I don’t use any of the presets. I just adjust the input gain.
Did you have a “Sharkfin” pick tucked under the Ibanez pick guard? I’ve still got a dozen of them in my pick jar (aka coffee mug), just thought I recognized the shape.
Great video and break down of your recording rig, sounds great!
Thanks! Yes, it’s a .73
The way you casually mention that you’re playing Pino’s bass
I casually mention it every time I play this bass. 😂
Hi Dan, great video - as usual. Since you're asking for gear questions: I am pretty much a Jazz Bass guy, bought my one (and only) bass, a Fender Jazz Bass (Made in Japan) in 2000. At that time I really disliked the Precision Bass due to its big, chunky neck. But the more I listened to different genres of music and different bands, the more I stared to like the P Bass sound. So how my question is, how closely can you "emulate" a P Bass sound with a Jazz Bass and what would be the best way - obviously you would turn of the neck pickup, but how about using an eq or a different playing position / playing style?
Thanks, Daniel! I’d do what the great Joe Osborne used to do: flats, solo the neck pickup and roll off the tone. That’ll get you somewhere a little closer. You’ll never get the exact tone without the spilt coil pickup, obviously. It’ll still sound great!
@@OnlineBassCourses Way to go!
Dan, you showed going into a di box then to the amp, is that from the balanced out or the throughput out
It’s from the thru out. 👍
Hi Dan do you have an opinion on wireless transponders to replace the cable from my bass to my amp. I’m trying out a pair of 5 GHz , as 2.4 GHz will cut out because my Wifi modem is 2.4. To my untrained ear I don’t notice any degradation of signal, and no latency issue either.
To be honest, Steve, I’ve never used one but I know people who use the Line 6 ones.
That Ibanez was _bought_ cheap, but it's certainly not a cheap instrument. It's a high quality instrument, built by skilled craftsmen in the renowned Hoshino factory. It just needed a little bit of TLC.😁
Agreed!
Which Neumann your set of speakers? Kh 80 dsp or kh 120a?
I must confess that I don’t know! They weren’t expensive.
Hi Dan, can I ask why you use both a DI and an audio interface? Couldn't you go straight into the Apollo from the bass?
It’s mainly because I had the DI way before the interface. It allows me to split the signal, plus there are some tonal things I like about the two DIs I mostly use.
What’s the benefit of splitting the signal?
What is the benefit of DI before an interface?
You can plug straight into the Apollo and it’s great. I like the U5 functionality plus I can split the signal.
@@OnlineBassCourses thank you. I understand that this gives you the ability to record dry and wet tones at the same time. Would you use/are you using any plugins/effects on the computer to further shape the tone? I mean if you were going straight to the interface.
@@jacekfalatowicz for RUclips, I’m not doing anything else at all. For other recordings I do a big variety of things! Including plug-ins like Ampeg SVX, the UA Ampeg stuff. I use effects for certain things. That’s where things open up into infinite possibilities.
Can you do a video to further explain/demonstrate how you are using the Ampeg plug-ins via UA? I’ve an Apollo Twin X and some plug-ins and, to be honest, I don’t know how to use them. @@OnlineBassCourses
@@jjones1003 good idea. 👍👍
People underestimate importance of quality cables in audio. My father is an audiophile, so I've listened to many different cables and they make a huge difference, with all other components staying the same.
It’s very interesting because many people will swear that it’s not a ‘thing’. It’s the same with tone woods on bass. It might be subtle but I’m into it!
I love your videos Dan. But I gotta say - your signal chain doesn't sound too simple 😩
Thanks! It’s pretty simple compared to some… bass/DI/converter/computer.
