    Playing the CYBER BASS
    This Custom Bass guitar for the Marble Machine X is a 4 string bass built on a 5 string neck, 4 Mics (one per string) and today I am adding the FUNKALIZER. An adjustable felt pad that can be pushed onto the strings and dampening the sound. This is designed to shorten the notes when the Cyber Bass is played by the Marble Machine X.
    Take care and Good luck with everything you are doing! Martin
    The 3d printed Metal Wings/marble guides you can see is printed by Desktop Metal and designed by Phillip Brown, i will cover them more in upcoming episodes!

    I like the look of the normal straight cables coming out of the bass. But id recomend you to use angled ones. Less stress and chance of the cables to break.
    The straight ones give a more "mad scientist" look.
    But the angled ones tend to work better with cable management also

    I grew up in the city where Tower of Power is from (Oakland, CA), and I had never heard this before! It's from Stephen Kupka, the Bari sax player. "The horn section has always had it’s own style, its own character -- cutting the notes short, snapping them off, clicking and bumping against the rhythm section."
    It reminds me of a quote from Walter Becker of Steely Dan, "we play rock and roll, but we swing when we play".

    Everyone is talking about how good the transition at 9:10 is
    But I think what sells it is the the camera motion itself. The transition is just an angled screen wipe, but the camera motion is rotation about the X (horizontal) axis, and panning back at the same time, while being angled to the table, followed by a left strafe. That along with the silence, except for the rocking of the nob.
    Bloody brilliant

    One simple "ide" to improve this:
    Replace the screws with a linear rod and put a spring in each side.
    Build a steal bridge to join both sides (above the string bridge) and design it to be "pressable".
    That way you can press for longer notes, compressing the springs, and the default being shorter notes.

    The drums from this is giving me a Lasse Gjertsen Vibe from when he did Amateur in 2006. Such an old video but it reminds me of it so much. :)

    Cyberbass: has 4 pickups
    Cybertruck: is 1 pickup truck
    Conclusion: cyberbass > cybertruck

      That's... one *truckload* of pickups.

      Yes! And Lasse led me to Kutiman´s Thu-You all those years ago, where he amateur clips from RUclips and mix them into cool music. Worth a listen :) ruclips.net/video/EsBfj6khrG4/видео.html
