The mighty SID chip just keeps inspiring people since the 80s and it will always be there... It still amazes me what a musician/technician is able to squeeze out of it.
I am pretty confident I could use the provided information......so find you the bass you want the goodies in. I'll charge you $275 and you pay for the shipping to and fro
Sam this is amazing! I know this video is old but if you ever plan on working on this again you should do a very simple "blend" mod with the original passive P-bass pickups to bring in the original sound of the bass on top of the synth! Just a thought. Love what you do, always looking forward to your videos uploads and projects!
I'm on youtube late at night, uselessly scrolling, when I see a LMNC post! (it is 3:30 a.m. in the pacific northwest). It is literally a dark and stormy night, and you are filling with wild and crazy cool. Thank you for everything you do!
Finally a youtuber who lives in a real house. Shelves of old electronic equipment gear on the floor.I dont know who you are but the second the video started I felt at home.
So funny that I was imagining Jeri Ellsworth when you actually said her name two minutes later! I LOVED her solution to keeping the surrounding electronics at the conventions where she plays from interfering with her bass’ pickups. Her solution? Trash the typical pickups and install Little piezo inducer discs that she clipped and placed beneath her bass strings! Soo IF you get any EMI issues or interference from nearby arcade pinball machines, maybe you ought to install a piezo inductor array for a secondary pickup option?! For someone who’s outward appearance would suggest a grimey and pretty rugged person, you REALLY do have it together. AWESOME!! Oh yeah, NICE ROUTER!!
All your words make sense to me mate because I've been using MIDI since the 1980s and I understand electronics, love your MODs and inventions completely unique, like an artist retro fitting custom fusion of technology spanning decades, brilliant...your bass synthesizor is sick...built in octaver and adjustable synth parameters with loads of knobs...gnarly as all hell...I want one...
just buy yourself a set of 6-string bass strings, and leave off the two lowest strings. Youll still have a bass, but tuned A-D-G-C. It would also help with the high action you're experiencing (less tension on the neck)
GamingBase there are a bunch of diy kits for modular. I started there. It’s a cheap way to build your synth and learn soldering. Avoid smd components unless you have more advanced soldering skills. Happy wiggling!
Ay, idk if you read enough of the comments to see this - on the issues you’re having w/ G2M recognizing the lower notes, you could convert the input signal an octave up? Digitally this is done by taking the absolute value of each sample, effectively folding the negative parts up. I’m not terribly familiar with the analog equivalent but I know I’ve seen schematics for it before that only require a handful of components. Then while processing the MIDI signal you can shift the pitch back down an octave to get the note that was originally played.
Won't be that exact one as the one you're referring to is on ebay unless your parents put theirs on ebay but they didn't because theirs is in their kitchen.
Pontus Janssons Magic Hat they put it on eBay. I mean, the photos went on eBay. Then they put it back in the kitchen until someone bought it. Gladly no one did. Source: I’m his mom.
If a new Terminator movie comes out, this would be a cool instrument to build a soundtrack around. Imagine playing this with strings, choirs, and brass. You could make some seriously epic industrial sounding music.
I was just checking videos for info for building my own small minimalist bass...and I stumbled on this. Totally mad, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Way more than I am aiming for, lol.
I just found your channel yesterday and I love all the crazy shit you make, do you have/can you make a video on how to start collecting gear and equipment based on synths? I'm really interested in all of it but I have no clue where to start.
Well everyone’s gonna tell you the same thing, you need to specify price limits, as well as what sounds you’re after. This isn’t something someone else can decide for you, do some research and within a year you’ll have a better idea of what you want to get. I personally own a Moog Grandmother and a Make Noise 0 Coast. Both great synths but totally different sound and workflows.
some of this awesome Bass sounds like it helped make the NIN Ghosts albums, this is like-- one of the coolest and ear-confusing things i've seen in ages. this is so freaking cool! kinda makes me wish i could learn bass proper! late but, keep going and keep having fun~!
Holy crap I need to make one of these. I've never soldered anything in my life but this has made me want to learn. When you turned it on and it worked I couldn't believe how awesome it sounded!
If my dad were still alive, he would’ve creamed himself over this video - and asked me when I was going to duplicate this bass. I’m the family musician - although he taught me basic guitar chords, was the first person to mention the word “synthesizer” to me, brought up the three of us on the Commodore 64 aaaaaand would’ve been the first to push for me to have a model just like this.
@@Shred_The_Weapon Just do it. You are clearly interested in the topic and it's no rocket science. If you have no clue how to build stuff like this teach it yourself just how you managed to become a musician, by learning stuff. The community is super friendly and there are lots of people out there that are willing to help you out with any issue you encounter. It's never to late to learn a new skill in life. You got it 👌
Hey.. look.. Sam...there's no chance to see you in tour in italy.. right.. ?i will have to see your new place in the Uk i suppose.. i hope i can soon.. will come there if i will ... take care... awesome content of yours.. love zibra too by the way..
setting up the action is highly subjective, i love a high action for example, but on my jazz bass i pretty much only use for slappp i have a low action
bruh looks like a bass that prince would use. love the style and the idea to combine the 80s style of synthesizers with this bass that has a distinctively 80s look itself. Ima subscribe, your pretty cool.
...the neck seems to be bending a little bit more than it should, judging by the footage ( 0:38 - 4:35 - 6:59 ). Very nice project, though... a lot of synth possibilities... OR you can use it to piss everybody off in a rehearsal, just keep messing with it til everybody leaves...
Wow man, that is truly a unique instrument! I definitely would love to have one of those in my collection, since I play a lot of Rock music with keyboards and electric sounds. Thanks for sharing this, that really made my day.
@ whoooosh... i was just saying his style would be interesting with such an instrument, specially as he likes to try different instruments, but that might be too much for you...
sure! but i decided to do away with the bass entirely. cus from experience when they are mixed they sound a bit naff. so decided to go extreeeeeme haha
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER Is that because of phase problems between the bass string and the synth wave? What if you had a control on the synth that allowed you to phase-align the two? You get similar problems sometimes when a bass and a kick drum cancel each either out in a studio situation, and end up with a tragic loss of low end. Popping the phase on the bass often brings the boom back. Does this chip give you a way to set the phase at the start of a note?

Do you still have that bass if so would you be willing to sell it ??
ratatoullie music sorry . Not for sale 🙃
You should attempt a cover of Rob Hubbard's Arcade Classics title theme with this somehow! Brilliant stuff 😎

We don't have bits and bobs in our country. Shame, really. Pick up that Mustang. Ultimate victory on the Hondo synth.
Crazy it sounds like the organ I got glad to have you back in my life cause u make it so golrous
The action on that bass is ABSURD.
Beautiful
That's all I could see while he was playing it . reminds me of my first bass good thing I had have huge hands and was to dumb to know better lol
I'm getting RSI just looking at it
Just was I was thinking
I'm glad to see other people basically complaining about the high action on this bass
I feel like he'd be a character in Regular Show lol
This is sp true
Now what animal would he be? Or would he be a human character?
I just know he'd be super-friends with Gary and spend as much time on Synthos as he could :D
@@dr.getter7118 Yeah! I'd imagine him getting along with Techmo a lot too! If Regular Show was still going I'd super love him being featured there xD

The mighty SID chip just keeps inspiring people since the 80s and it will always be there... It still amazes me what a musician/technician is able to squeeze out of it.

@@blackphoenixfamily8477 Think you could for a guitar?
all those years, and i haven't seen this one until today. amazing!
looks AND sound incredible!!
I love that "your spaceship in an 8-bit video game just crashed" sound.
It's Paper Boy from the NES. When he crashes, it makes that exact sound. When the bass does it my pants fit all funny.
Instruments have players, synthesisers have pilots.
From my own experience I'd say synths have riders
Instruments have players, Synthesisers have war criminals
Love your projects. You are a real music magician genius.
Thats crazy! I want one
Me too!
@@TheBaconWizard me wants one too
Don’t understand how you made it, but I need one.
Hahaha! My saying is (usually about odd vehicles) I don't know what it does, but I want one!

SID is love... SID is life... 🤟
I like that CID too, good times.

could use piccolo strings, tuned like guitar strings but thicker to fit a bass
This. Maybe foam under bridge to mute strings
What about an octave up circuit before the midi converter?
@@widdlytube doesnt sound the same, i think the less you effect the signal the better the result will beb
@@Mungoes Right but the less effects between the pickup and the converter, the better
World needs more people like you mate

asdfpoiuyify my solution would be use a set of piccolo strings so the bass is pitched an octave up without needing any pitch shifting
This guy’s a real life techno-wizard/bard! I love it!

Phone call from Muse incoming any time now..

Now I want to see a band with a synth guitar, synth bass, and electric drums.
Imagine that and the synth is the only acoustic instrument (i.e. slapaphone style)
some of this awesome Bass sounds like it helped make the NIN Ghosts albums, this is like-- one of the coolest and ear-confusing things i've seen in ages.
this is so freaking cool! kinda makes me wish i could learn bass proper!
late but, keep going and keep having fun~!
you should put in a "dry mix" knob and a "theremin fuzz" circuit from parasit studio that would make it even more dope than it already is !
reminds me of Royal Bloods. really cool man. every video i wathc gets me one step closer to buiolding my first synth.
10:20 that's very MUSE-y-like bass sound.
Title please. 😥
Now, that is cyberpunk! Awesome! Relly fresh and just great!
Kid, your a bad ass. You made something I wouldn't even begin to know how it even works.

thats just about the most 80's thing ive ever seen, its beautiful
Fact.
You could make a whole career out of this bass!

man u got some of the sickest sets on youtube no cap
Once he can travel, we need davie504 to slap this.
I agree with you about that.
We really don't
was he in prison?
I can see what you just did, but i just can't believe what i'm hearing. Awesome Sam!!!!!!!!
can you make a tutorial series, to show where to start with making and using synths. I would really like to know the method behind your madness.
just scroll through his older videos he's already done a bunch of them throughout the years
The level of creativity omg
How have you learned all these things about electronic stuffs?
Anyway this is a really cool project :)
Just messing around. Avoiding procrastination etc etc
Yup, pick a project and keep at it until it is done.
Cool!!! I think I'll stop procrastinating and start messing around
What a gnarly sound! Definitely a cool project, man! Cheers from Denmark.
should get someone like davie 504 to rip that thing, hearing crazy slap on a synth bass would probs be wickedd haha
slap wouldn't transfer, as the midi converter box just creates note on/off events... so it'd sound the same as normal playing
