I started watching Tim's channel about a year ago & didn't know who he was at the time but I thought he was so good a player & just seemed so happy while he is playing. I've always played for fun myself but tried to keep a reasonably professional level, so that's what I like about him. I already subscribed to Tim & now to You too Philip. Cheers to You both from a fan from Down Under.

Hey i like this.. Great teaching!

I don't have an HX stomp, but Zoom B3n has served me well in terms of Digital Effects for Bass

awesome mod.....sound is unbelievable.....pic gurd a plus

My problem with the stomp is I only have one. The versatility of the send/return are great. Drum machines & synths are fun thru it too. I haven’t even gotten in to it’s crazy midi capabilities yet 🤓

That is a super musical sounding plugin. I would love to use those sounds in the studio or live.

I don't think the bass needs a pickguard. But it's cool anyway. Btw, what bridge is that?

I agree %100 with what you said. Playing bass over 30 years in bars.

Looks great… sounds amazing! 😎👌

Fantastic addition to the tone! Sounds fantastic. I am team pick guard.

Great sound with that p-bass!

I should rewatch it few times. Thank you!

That's why finger players should utilize more than just 2 finger on their striking hand. I can play with 3 fingers. If one is down , no problem.

Are all of these just double negative do's?

perfect analogy

You should learn how to play bass with a pick, with your fingers and with your thumb. All styles are valid....learn when to use which style. Thumb and finger pulls are slap, (disco, funk, top 40 dance ) pick is country or speed metal, finger style is jazz or blues,(bebop, 50's elvis and 60's hippy ,)

The sound of your bass is really the sound of your amp. so get a great amp, do not get a shitty 8 inch speaker 12 watt amp! That is for you bed room.... for real gigs,... I have 3 set ups, 100 watt 1X12 for coffee house, 500 watt amp with 2x10 ,for VFW hall or jazz club, 500 or 800 watt with 4X10 1X15 (full stack) or 2X15 (full stack)for auditorium, stadium or gymnasium.

A bass player must be able to play in all 12 keys major and all 12 keys minor. I remember the first time they handed me a Michael Buble chart in Db~!~!!!! 5 flats.... I have been playing bass now for 50 years... and I am mostly a jazz bassist, however I remember starting out playing in guitars keys, E C G D A..... Now, I play in all horn and piano keys Bb, Eb, F, Db, and Ab

Bass players need to listen to all styles of music, so when they say shuffle groove, you know that the 8th notes are not straight 8ths but instead they are swing 8ths based on the first and 3 triplets .

Bass players need to learn how to read both chord symbols, and know what notes are in the chord, and also learn how to read bass notation in Bass clef. Remember that piano and tuba are written one octave lower, but sound the same. Bass is written one octave higher. it took me 20 years to learn how to read, now I can sight read a full concert.Example... The producer says.... Here's the bass book for the Ventures tribute band. its one full inch thick!!!!! Piece of cake.....

Get a KORG tuner, Remember it"s , unacceptable to be a bass player not in tune!!!!!!!!

Practice with a metronome to develop great time~!!! Put metronome on beat 2 and 4 like the clik of the snare drum!!!!!

this is really great things to think about!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can make it a lot simpler. You match the timing of the drums with the tone of the guitars playing with thirds, fourths, fifths and octaves. It is more important to know ever note on the fretboard and those positions than just scales. You can play around the roots on the riffs and so much more than just common scales. But if you can walk up to an octave or even two higher than the guitar then you are standing out. Still the same note in unison with the riffs but stands out on bass. Its really simple. The octave is two strings down and three frets over from the root. Four notes. Practice and this is extreme octaves but ACDCs Shot Down in Flames. The ending of the song is kind of difficult on 8th notes but. You go from a D on the fifth fret on the A string to a D on the twelfth fret on the D string to an A on the A string on the twelfth fret and slide down and either pull off on the A string or pick it and let that ring. Then at the very ending hit the E string at the fifth fret which is an A and slide down and mute. Ergo. Gurss what key the song is in. A. Another important thing to know playing bass. So you need to know what key a song is in. But you need to know why you are playing what you play. Then in rock you play in time with the drums in the verses but play in unison with the guitars on the choruses then go back to the drums. Just something to think about as a bassist.

what bridge did you use for the replacement? I love the upgrades and have been wanting to update my Rumblekat for awhile, glad to have stumbled upon yer channel!

I have a 32" acoustic bass made by Indie (which I think is now kaput). I like the scale length. It's comfortable and I don't have any problem adjusting. I also have a Hofner (30"), Two Jazzes and a P (all 34"). Plus a Hofner 187 'Shorty' bass from 1984 which is 26".

Really cool bass. Sounds great. I think the pick guard would nice if it be tortoise shell.

15"

You should put on another two pickups there to finish the job

Both of them were equal until the ampeg started breaking up

The best sounding bass I have is my Supro I with flat wounds. Super easy to play, and beautiful. I had a II and III but they are more than I need. I have the Vintera but it's my 4th or 5th favorite of what I own. It's my favorite on this list.

This guy is right 😎🤘

Nashville Number System!!!

man is that nice ! sounds good too .

Didn't know James Potter played bass

My first bass was a mustang I hated it compared to anything else...i bought a Guild Starfire 2 like Jack Casady's absolutely loved it...flat wounds through a acoustic 2/15's great sound

The Gibson hollow body is the nuts

i like either the pickguard or thumbrest but not both together

I like that you're continuing to mod this thing. Definitely giving me some ideas for future builds!

Wooden pickguard maybe?

This was such a good explanation bro. Thanks so much

What if your saddle can’t go back further and you’re still sharp?

Make a wooden pickguard to match the thumbrest and control plate!

Totally can relate. I was torn between analog and modern pedals since I've always been an analog pedal guy. Then I tried shifting to the more modern Darkglass Alpha Omega Photon. It sounded great for a while, but something was missing. To my ears, it still sounded too digital or modern. Then I found an analog solution to my tone hunting by adding the Origin Effects DCX Bass before my DG Alpha Omega Photon. I was stoked and it sounded great, but something still nagged at my ears, and the tone hunt continued. Then I watched your video about the Origin Effects Bass Rig and decided to pull the trigger on the 64 Black Panel. It's like a gift from heaven! Now, my rig is OE DCX Bass > DG Alpha Omega Photon > OE Bass Rig 64 Black Panel. I can't live without these three pedals, especially Origin Effects! Love your content as always, but I'm not a fan of stomp. If you could create a continuation video on Origin Effects, that would be great. For me, this is the most effective way to achieve studio-grade tone wherever you go! Thank you and more power!

❤❤❤

Completely different! You'd never even know that one of them was a musical instrument. I think it was blue and the other was a bass. Hyperbole is a dangerous thing.

Team Pickguard 🎉

That goldfoil sounds SWEET!

well now you gotta put a rick bridge pickup in there
