    Mike Mills is my favorite R.E.M. member...his voice...can't put it in words exactly but totally fit this southern, alternative-folk thing R.E.M. had going on...and his bass playing is underrated. And great job on this too!

    Mike Mills always seems to add stunning melodic and technical bass lines when you least expect them in songs and when they hit it's awesome. Being a big fan of REM throughout their musical adventure, hearing him rattle out some absolute bangers is just great. To hear it here is just as good, you did the song justice, with that end jam being the icing on the cake.

    I love playing REM tunes. Mills, and drummer Bill Berry, always play to serve the song. As is usual, you've done a great job on this.
    PS. I'm a vintage Peavey fan... Almost collector (too short of funds to get the basses that would complete my collection). I have the single pup first gen Fury, which is really a hybrid of the T-20 / T-45 line. Instead of the the T-40 dual coil pup, it has the Super Ferrite you'd find in a DynaBass or Patriot. It too is warmer and bold on the low end. Unlike my Fury, my DynaBass has a 3 band EQ, and I can get closer to that Rik sound on that one. But that Fury has become my favorite bass. It's an ash body, and the wood SINGS! It's the only bass I own that I can play without an amp and you can hear the notes almost as if it was an acoustic. It's become my favorite to play.

      Mike Mills could really thump on a bass guitar, he had a real knack for putting it where it belonged rhythmically. He had a feel for the pocket that was almost unteachable it was so good, but please don't say that his sonorous and airy voice was ever any better than Stipe's because the world never would have known about Mills if there had not been a Stipe fronting REM's awesome rhythm section.

    I always liked R.E.M. and Mike Mills' bass lines, but man, he seldom played with THAT much control and finesse. I thought the Peavey sounded pretty focused, though I don't know how you set the SamsAmp to get this. You also like to have that controlled fret buzz that also brings out treble. If only that pickup would be right at the bridge...

    • @TJH3113
      @TJH3113  6 лет назад +1

      I don't know about that. I think the bass sound a bit Precision-ish, but I'm pushing it to it's limits to get it to sound the way I'd like to hear it, if you know what I mean. A lot of people think that I use distortion but, I believe, it's really the fret buzz they are hearing. Hmm...I could get a pick guard and have the pick-up moved back a touch.

    • @thumbpickfingers
      @thumbpickfingers 6 лет назад

      That's a good idea. I bet you would enjoy playing it much more if it were placed right next to the bridge, not unlike on a Wal, except the Peavey's bridge is extremely long, so it would be closer to the Stingray placement. Do you like the sound of the T-40 with only the bridge pickup on?

      I also think it sounds like a P bass. ANd I dislike pickups too close to the bridge, too nasal sounding. It's one of the things I like about Rickenbackers: the bridge pickup is fairly far from the bridge compared to a Jazz.

      Actually, I do not like the sound of either T40 p/u on its own. I really think the sweet spot is where the Guild bridge p/u is placed. Which, coincidentally, is only 1/4" off from where the Ric bridge p/u is located.

    Do you still own this bass?

      No, I sold it sometime last year.

    I'm way late seeing this video . Have to disagree with this bass' ability to cut thru the mix though. It sounds great, and you kept playing after the song was over. That's proof! I'd buy the crap out of that bass.

      I managed to get it to cut through but I really had to go to extremes with the eq. This isn't really the bass' natural voice, it took some arm twisting.

    Sorry, but you need a pick for this song.
