Absolutely my new fav band and bass player
🙏🌷
Guitarist is very good too, like he nails this rhythm pretty good for a young man
I really respect that you guys are doing something inspiring and motivating and creative and fun with the opportunity that you have to do so. As a 48 year-old guy who's made his career during music my whole life, the one thing I've learned is that you just have to be in the constant mindset of that, and it just has to come naturally....
you guys got that!
My dad loved his Jazz bass also he was in his band 68-75. I really enjoy you two you guys are tight on the groove.
THIS is what I wanted I love this dudes tone this is what we wanted 😂❤️ I hope to see y’all live soon!
Speaking of the GOAT, man you guys are modern day GOATS!
You got a great sounding bass and you knock it out. Why even mess with those crazy tones. When I grow up I want to play funk like you.
I found you guys about 9 months ago.. I was driving my nephew to UMass Amherst and you popped up on my algorithms...
TY ALGORITHMS! 😉 😆
Now my nephew is hooked just as much as I am...
50yrs old this year and I gotta say: You boys are so REFRESHING to 🎶 NOW in 2024!
Thank you so much for exploiting your talents to the 🌐!
Keep em coming! Hoping to catch you guys in NY City this summer! 💪 💪 💪 💪 WELL worth the ride down RT 95!
Thank you so much!!! See you next month 🌷🌷
Digging the tone! Gotta check you guys live
watching here in mid june 2024. just heard you say "we just hit 50k, 100k is next" as youre at 99.9k subs!! congrats fellas. you guys are awesome!! keep putting in that work
Haha thank you!!
First time I have seen him without his sunglasses on. Love their stuff.
I learned a lot today. I want to play the guitar and bass. Thank you for uploading this video🎵🌸🌹🌸🙂🎸🎸🙂👍👏👏👏
Awesome stuff boys! Very inspiring
Thank you!!
Thanks guys been wondering how you guys got your tones as a bassist myself your jazz bass is a thing of beauty best wishes for the new year
Thanks, same to you!!
Really like your music ... you two (guitar and bass) seem so logical a combination
You guys play so tight and precise, I set my watch to you 😎👌🏼☀️
The content is great. Just keep doing what you do. Fan base is growing.
Thanks for this Vid 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you guys! You know I’ve been begging for this for a long time! 🤣 For the record, I don’t think Will has an MXR envelope filter… he didn’t sound very convincing. 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks again guys! Great stuff!!!
I like that bass with more neck. The punchiness actually feels funkier by contrast when its fuller and darker. It's like it's too mellow to be that funky so that nakes it seem even funkier.
I love the bass tone! Any eq or compression recommendations? I have GarageBand..
I just recently started playin over the bridge pickup instead of the neck and recently started muting a lot and playin ghost notes lol…my funk has went thru the roof, my bass is a Epiphone Tobias IV Standard, and I also got a shector Diamond Series 5 string
Молодцы парни!
Отлично шпарите!! 👍👍
Perfect timing, just got a p-bass with jazz pick up so hoping to learn something about tone
I can't believe i missed this! Right on!!
THAT REDWITCH MAKES IT SOUND LIKE A 808 sine wave!! Just w alot of harmonics/distortion
Oh yeah it rips
Ive seen lots of great bass players in my 65 years. Your one of them.
Thank you 🙏
Awesome stuff, guys! I wish y'all were close to me. I'd love to do tech work for you, and just see you live.
I'd be interested in hearing a bit of your background. Like what musical path you each took to get where you are now, playing the kind of music you are. When did you meet, etc. It seems like funk/r&b players always have interesting stories about that stuff.
For me, wanting to play music really started with Nirvana and guitar, then I heard Primus and picked up bass trying to challenge myself to learn everything Les did. Then a friend showed me Wooten and I went down the funk rabbit-hole. A lot more to it than that, but by the end of high-school, I was obsessed with funk and R&B and playing the same stuff as you guys. Unfortunately, there aren't enough players in my area to take it anywhere, so I ended up building and repairing guitars instead haha.
All that said, I love seeing you all living it. I know how fun it is when you have the right people and things are just working. It's the best feeling ever. So I'm stoked to see where you guys go. You're growing fast and deserve every bit of it!
Thank you!! Very cool story, we just might have to elaborate on our end in one of the videos soon :)
Thank you for this, it's awesome hearing about what your tone settings and basses are. Cork sniffers like me love it! I do have a question are you using the La Bella 760 FL for the Ultra jazz as well?
I am! Just the 5 string version (760FL-B) 🌷🌷
@@telula Thanks, that's what I thought! I've got TI rounds on my Jazz Elite which sound great with lollars, but I'm looking at a 5 string jazz and wanted to put some La Bellas on that.
Yeah definitely give it a shot! Only thing I’ll say is don’t cheap out on a five string if you can, you definitely get your moneys worth in terms of clarity and playability for the B string the more you put into it
@@telula I've been looking at the Sire V5, partly due to the 70s placement and that it has two volume knobs instead of a tone, blend and volume like the Elite does. One thing about those is that necks are really nice but rolled, that changes the playing a bit. Secondly the hardware tuners really need replacing. I need to have more of think on it. It is a very expensive bass even if it punches above its weight. It's still not as nice as the Ultra/Elite series of Fenders.
Sire is probably your best bet from what I’ve heard, I’d definitely recommend trying one out of you can find it somewhere
Thanks y'all. I'd REALLY like to take a look at that cab block you have on the helix. I wanted to know the mic, and settings on it.
Nevermind I got it lol. Thanks again.
Nice thanks for this, playing your stuff on rotate. Yay to jazz bass! Got 760fls couple of weeks ago love them. Rumble amp? I have the 200 cos wanted the 15 inch speaker. Is yours a 70 or something? What's with the low mid roll off? Bass and high mids? Anyhoo keep it coming, i actually subscribed to spotify just to get more of you guys !!!
Thanks so much for the support, and glad you like the strings! The amp wasn’t actually being used in the video, it was just there as a set piece so don’t pay attention to what it was set to haha
You just got me as your fan, an old fart fan (47) :)
Your grooves is soooo catchy!
Grats!
Great video guys, thanks. Quick question for you on the bass string guage - is there a reason you prefer lights over standard or medium ?
Thank you! The gauge is mostly personal preference for how it feels with your fingers, but I prefer lights because they’re able to move faster and are more articulate.
@@telulaGotchya. Makes sense. Ok I ordered some lights. Have always played standards but yeah makes sense with less mass more responsive as long as the tone is still there and sufficient tension. Gonna find out ! Love your playing and I bet Rocco is smiling too.
Bass sounds awesome! What strings do you use?
Thank you! I use LaBella 760FLs, highly recommended they’re the best 🌷🌷
@@telula awesome, I got some of those on my P bass!
Do you always have the tone knob off on the j bass or are there times where you like to turn it up.
Always off, don’t remember the last time I used it haha
Big fan! Wondering about the bass strings.
Thank you!! They’re LaBella 760FLs, highly recommended 🌷
what flatwounds do you use? (make and gauge). Thanks!
I use LaBella 760FLs, highly recommended :)
@@telula Thanks so much. I found another video where you specify the strings you use. So I went out and bought the same LaBellas for my '83 jazz bass.
Keep up the good work sir! :)
Ayy enjoy!
How do you like the Rumble? And which one is this?
I didn’t actually use the rumble in this video it’s just a set piece lol, our audio was DI
Why do you prefer a Telecaster over a Stratocaster?
My dad loved using a Fender Blender for distortion
great video as always, I really appreciate the content yall are making! lucas, any thoughts on why you prefer the fender jazz over a musicman stingray for that fat mid-heavy fingerstyle funk sound? I know theyre just two different options, but would be curious of your opinion
Thank you, glad you like the content!! The jazz bass is just what I’ve always used and having been inspired the most from Jaco, it’s what I chose to pursue. That being said I totally love the stringray Joe dart type tone and take a lot of inspiration from it 🌷🌷
@@telula amazing, thanks for the reply! you guys rock
Liking and subscribing...
Amazing..Thanx.
✌️❤️😊
Nice brah! Smooth!
Gahdamn! Guy even speaks in bass!!
You guys sound good!
I’m assuming that ‘65 J Bass has all of the same electronics? Not all original, but if the ‘65 had some brand name and size cap. you’re running the same capacitor, but new. Right?
It’s fully original aside from the frets and the nut
Coming to you guys in Chicago. World class Bass but Thomas is a multi-instrumentalist live you both. Need time and place for the Chicago gigs. Going to make a vacation for my girlfriend around the gig
The Chicago shows have dates and times, you can see them and get tickets on our website at telulamusic.com/shows! Hope to see you there :)
Thanks guys. ❤ I want to learn bass but no idea where to start!
Start by buying a Squire 70's jazz bass.
Get a bass and use RUclips! There’s so much amazing stuff that you’ll have more than enough information, you just gotta stick with it :)
Please come to Barcelona !!!!!!!!!!!
I love that Jaco sound and style of playing ... glad some people still know where modern bass playing comes from, yes I#m an old white man, age 34 ...
Your dry tone even sounds good, so what is it, my jazz or p doesn’t sound like this but I should could use compression
GYATT DAYMMMMMMM
what are you running for bass strings flats? brand guage?
I use LaBella 760FLs, they’re the best highly recommended!
@@telula thanks
Man I was low-key hoping to hear some Death From Above licks with that fuzz lol.
It's nice seeing next-gen talent embracing digital amp modeling and FX.
Yeah so cool! I need tutorials :)
I’m a simple man with a simple question (and poor eyesight): flats or round-wounds on that jazz? Thanks in advance.
They’re flat wounds, specifically LaBella 760FLs 🌷🌷
@@telulaThank you!
No problem!
AHHHHHHH
I saw you said you are di, so the starting bass sounds is just flat wounds with tone knob at 0, no post processing compression/eq or anything? Your tone is great
There is EQ and compression in post for our videos, but nothing significant live usually. EQ is a lot more useful for content because we try to cater the tone more towards phone speakers. And thank you!!
I don't even know these dudes names butt Ive been listening for a long while. The bass player should sing. He has a lowwww tone.
Those calves are honestly looking sick
Lol thanks
So basically you cannot tune any guitar for funk notes/cords?
5:11 hey man WD40 contact cleaner is really good
The bassist is a bass himself.
Bok Choy reference at 13:00
Faxxxxx
At 3:27, my keyboard entered in vibration mode...
I want some guitare and bass tutorials please :) 👍
How tall are you bass bro? I feel like you have some serious finger spread
I love Ibanez tiny necks
6’1, I can do one finger per fret at the bottom of the neck it just isn’t very comfortable haha
Interesting you're using a helix! The Deluxe model is superb!
It absolutely is!
You certainly do not have to say "Like and subscribe", as it will be automatic from great music lovers.
Ok, Reasons to be Cheerful, Part 3 Ian Dury and the Blockheads. For encores. You'd dig it. Love you guys. Mostly all I can say is DAMNNN! Will you make it up around Albany? I'd cut off this damned ankle bracelet to come see you. Pretty please
Conclusion is simple. Coolest sound with no pedals especially with this guitar and your hands. Pedals are for kids)))))
Have you ever tried "acoustic 361"?
Admire your musicianship.
Pleasingly Professional... Telula, my New Favorite Band.
Heavily Promoting you to my constitutes in the industry. Be well.
🙏💕🌷
@@telula 👍😎👍❤️👍💪
I'm going to put out a request to hear you incorporate an octave affect every now and again on that bass tone... I'm guessing you tried it? Some of them don't track well, I do get that
It’s used when we play live a decent amount, but it’s just a better result to use actual synth bass and 808s in the studio 🌷
Never considered a collaboration with Donny Benét?
Just 15 hours left
Stay strong
How do people even find other musicians to form bands with??? I play guitar and I want this so bad😭😩
Cover Mikes Song from Phish…..
No mention of the bass amp. That's an oversight.
I don’t use an amp when performing live, always DI if it’s an option :)
Buy air in a can...will blow the noise out
A😢
Amazing somebody actually playing a bass that only has four strings (Hello James Jamerson). A bass is not meant to be a lead guitar.
You guys are sober?
Believe it or not
Tone knob is bad knob
Be careful putting out the pedigree of the vintage instruments people will snatch those things. Hopefully the jazz bass is insured 🤘
You bet it is
Was that hotel California lol, yours was cooler
I think you need a male voice, a male singer in the group.
Can you explain tone to your “vocalist”?
