Hey Everyone - thanks so much for checking out the channel!! Here is my first upload in case you want to explore some tone with me - New Video coming soon. ruclips.net/video/dqDlmimpn-4/видео.html
Great video I'm a beginner bassist that played to a high level in highschool on different things including voice. It's interesting starting from the basics and knowing nothing ans becoming a humble student again. I appreciate the clear teaching style and lack of condescension to those who already know something. I'm enjoying this process and your videos are super helpful. Keep it up ❤
Thank you so much!! That really means a lot - I am trying to deliver the info in a balanced way that beginners and experts can use so I’m so happy to hear that - if you have any ideas or requests for a video you’d like to see feel free to let me know!
Amazing - so happy that was helpful. And absolutely, love the suggestion - feel free to lmk anything else you would find useful along those lines and I’ll work it into a video soon. Appreciate it very much 🙏🏼
Hey lesson, words of wisdom. What year is that Fender Jazz Bass? It sounds killer! I am a guitar player also, who would like to get into playing the bass. Would you recommend that bass for a beginner. Also, what amp are you using? Are you using an Amp Modeler? Thank you. Sorry for the many questions.
Thanks so much! No worries on the questions that is exactly what this is for. 1. This Bass on paper is nothing special, from 2012 I think I bought it for $600 but it has such a great character to it, diamond in the rough kind of thing. 2. I would definitely recommend this bass - standard Fender Jazz Bass (made in Mexico) at the price point, build quality and playable neck it is a great option as an every day bass. 3. In this video I am going DI into my Apollo Twin interface, using an Ampeg Legacy plugin and some light compression. 4. A big part of the sound I go for comes from the super heavy flatwound strings, I swear by flats for a more mellow sound, I am not sure what gauge specifically but I buy the heaviest I can find, I wouldn't recommend going that heavy to start but definitely experiment with flatwounds when you get the chance. I started as a guitar player as well so I can relate.
@@carmeenojust on the strings, different strings make a different tone do they? Does the tone depend more heavily on the instrument itself or the strings? I know you alluded to it I just wanna clarify for my own nerdy brain 🤓 lol thanks ❤
hard to say concretely what has more implication on the tone - I think of strings as having a big effect on your feel or touch while playing, and the sound of the instrument "acoustically" - so flatwounds could lead to you playing a bit more laid back and come off a bit more chill and muted, warm - where steel/nickel strings will be a bit more reactive to your fingers and brighter - as far as the instrument, the kind of pickups, pickup orientation (jazz bass, P bass, humbucker etc.) will definitely have the biggest influence on how your tone sounds coming through an amp or while recording. Then there are the whole topics of preamp, wood, style of body, solid or semi hollow etc. which could take many hours to explore LOL lmk if that helps. @@bellemusecore
Great info presented here. I'm a guitarist who wants to play Bass and your advise is spot on. Bass is there to Hold down the bottom-end, Lock-in the groove and ultimately to support the Song & vocal. Your Bass Sounds Great. oNe LoVe from NYC
Thanks so much for checking this out! I too started with guitar and for a while was told I sounded like "A guitarist playing bass" - but over time I have found the experience with years of guitar playing to be so helpful - really appreciate the kind words!

Dude playing soft with enough gain is one of the game changers for sure to get a good recording bass tone

Playing softer has really helped me improve my tone - good call.
I’m glad that technique has helped - it’s changed my whole approach to playing
Great stuff bro!
