I like your concept here, of playing all these canonical bass lines down an octave. As I listen to each one, I reimagine it played again on an instrument and amplification system carefully optimized for delivering that frequency range with a set of majestic, dignified, and appealing timbres. Pianists, already double their Octave 2 notes with Octave 1 (or 0) notes, to couple readable tone, with the darker depth, and one inventor is still working on a new piano design where the bass strings go down another story in the building so that the one and zero octaves sound as loud and clear as the 2 octave. There is a whole vast frequency range that no instruments yet have more than touched. It is the frequency range simply definable as "from beyond the horizon.". We hear it many times a day, with thunder, planes, and trains, but since music doesn't bother to incorporate it, we lose track of its aural presence. Instead, I'd like to see music actually incorporate that further dimension, the "trans-horizon," or "meta-horizon" dimension. I'm sure somebody could do it, and once they do, everyone will just say "Why didn't someone think of this before?".
Always enjoy revisits and ultra low tuning 🤘 Can you do more finger only vs pick playing though? I want to feel the earth shake when those low notes hit
Love it. I used to do the octave down on many songs in performance just for the feel with my Ampeg SVT Pro 4 and the discontinued speakers that would [play down to 10Htz. Nice to hear them again on my crazy computer speakers that can get to 23Htz. PS Nice message on the white board.
Hey there, i need advice (also from anyone who ever had experience with this) I've recently installed a set of Warwick Dark Lord strings (.175 .135 .105 .85) and a Pyramid as a .60 for the highest strings. But for some reason the bottom strings sounds dull and dead compared to the others, and i don't know why
I'm sure that you tuned carfully, but most of the low notes sound out of tune. My guess would be that the human ear is not very sensitive to frequencies below app. 40 Hz (low E) and therefore the brain tries to reconstruct the basic frequency from the harmonics. But harmonics do not follow a temperated tuning but the natural overtone series. So maybe another kind of tuning is necessary for a subcontra bass?
Nice! The tone reminds of the bass guitar tones from old 8-bit and 16-bit games. Would love to hear The Trooper on that thing too!

Great to see a video from you.
DAAAMN new video from this guy lets go
I know right? It truly original channel.
Elephant fart music is ❤️ .
it has such great tone when isolated, I wonder how well it would work in a full mix
edit: I mean when it is at normal levels
Great playing bass, Kevin.
love the low tuning stuff. wish you made videos more update us man plz!
Always enjoy revisits and ultra low tuning 🤘

Dude!!! Great to see you! :)

Please start making more content again man.
Raw af
You could have done Teen town

This is a horrible tone🤮
