    I was a huge Ronnie Dio fan. These old Rainbow tunes are so ahead of their time for 70s metal. Saw the band DIO 2 or 3 times. Was planning on seeing his Sabbath reunion {aka Heaven and Hell) and then he got sick and passed away. RIP RJD.

    • @TJH3113
      @TJH3113  Год назад +1

      Regardless of what went on between Dio and Blackmore, Dio never spoke badly of him. Rainbow was a big step up for Ronnie and he was grateful for it. I'm really happy that I got to see Black Sabbath on their "The End" tour. I'd have regretted not seeing them.

      To a certain extent you may be correct. I'm going to sound like "me", for better or worse, on whatever bass I play. That being said, every bass has its own voice and that "voice" will still come through, regardless of who is playing it. It's not that I entirely disagree with you, but I've seen the "tone is in the fingers" thing used to discourage players, as in, "You will never sound like me because my sound is in my hands." I do thank you for the compliment though and thanks for allowing me to rant a bit. Thanks again and take care, Darren!

    I believe Craig Gruber is the guy who played bass on early demos for Sabbath's Heaven & Hell album when Geezer left for a while. Geezer said in one interview that he 'stole' some of the licks he heard on those demos. And Craig brought in 'Die Young', which is my favorite Dio era Sabbath track!

    Awesome as usual!! Not sure if you've answered this before, but I love your backdrop and I'm wondering what the impetus for it is. Years ago when I first started watching your videos I assumed you owned a costume shop and did the videos in our spare time. Thanks and love your videos!!

      Thank you, Mike! I collect masks and other, horror related, items. Before we moved into our house, they would all be in storage until Halloween. When we built the house, instead of closets, I had them put in a display area into the room. It's just dumb luck that I wound up with one of the more recognizable backgrounds on RUclips. Take care!

    How are you liking the Dano? My wife (then girlfriend) bought me one for Xmas many, many years ago... such a unique tone, surprisingly chunky and growly but still very tight. I love it 😊

    Great song choice. Dan Electros have always intrigued me. They're a bit much-a-do-about-nothing but they seem to be all the rage. What do you think of them as a short scale? And what were your tone settings for this song?

    • @TJH3113
      @TJH3113  Год назад +1

      Thank you. I wasn't aware that Danelectros were ever a "rage". I think it's a great bass. I got it on the recommendation of Bruce Thomas who said he did the majority of his session work, after Elvis Costello, on one. The tone setting on the bass - always both p/u's selected and tone full up. I don't fiddle much with knobs.

    Dio brought the "malocchio" hand sign to metal. It's the sign against the Evil Eye from southern Italy. It's also the Hook 'em Horns here in Texas. In northern Italy it's the "mano cornudo", an insult.
    In Sicily the "malocchio" is a sign to ward off evil when talking about good things. Germanic cultures have "knock on wood" as a similar apotropaic gesture.

      Actually, I haven't changed a thing, though my computer is on its way out. Not bad to get 13 years out of a computer, but I'm dreading getting a replacement. I did add a small 4 channel mixer, but it has nothing to do with my sound, it's just so I can have a microphone for speaking.

    Curious... what compressor do you use and what are the settings. Sounds Deep, Crisp and Even. :)

    • @TJH3113
      @TJH3113  8 месяцев назад +1

      I use GarageBand to generate my sound (all of my EQ comes from one preamp pedal or another), but I do use some preset compression from there. It's called "Smooth Bass". I just clicked around at the presets and thought this one sounded the best. It's pretty subtle. It stays unchanged for every video.
