- “You don’t replace things - the vocabulary just gets bigger. It’s all there for you.” Prolific punk bassman & philosopher Mike Watt (the Minutemen, fIREHOSE, Iggy & the Stooges, the Watt From Pedro Show) plucks, pedals, & paddles his Reverend Wattplower around the Pyramids Stereo Flanger pedal for an econo bass sound without losing the bottom.

Well shit I didnt think id ever be motivated or moved by a earthquaker video, " you don't need to create a new word to write an original story". Damnnnn Mike watt hittin me in my soul
lizard Wizard same here brotha. That was heavy, eh?
I'd watch a 2 hour version of this. This is special spiel'in.
Mike Watt: Global Treasure.
Sitting on a bucket, this man embodies what punk rock is.
Love Watt
A genuine hero among musicians
I can listen to Mike forever
That first bit he plays is from his 1986 just-bass album Dos with Kira Roessler
You don't often get a review based on the subtle use of effects. Love the philosophy he lays down about words and books. Legend. (also great pedal)
thanks for watching! sometimes the subtle use of effects can be more effective (pun intended) than an all-out pedal freakout. and if you don't believe me, listen to the snare drum reverb return after the second guitar solo in "1970" by the stooges. i'm not sure what they did (run the reverb through a wah? maestro filter? sweep the eq?) but it goes by so quickly and makes a great song even better!
That Surfin with the Shah riff at the end... Love Watt, the wisest dude in rock.
Mike Watt: the Chuck Norris of Bass
Mike came to my city about 3-4 years ago with his Italian trio and naturally they were fantastic.But asides from being a monster bassist he was a superior person.He sat down and signed and spoke with everyone.No star trip,like talking to a friend.
Mike’s signature bass looks and sounds great! Much respect to the man in the van with the thud stick.
Mike, George and D. Boon are so important to music. You don’t gotta create a new word to write a book.
Living legend.
earthquake gotta come out with a toenail clipper for mike!
Mike Watt is awesomeness.
You got Watt?! Awesome.
Damn that book analogy was on point!
History lesson part 3 here.
I love you so much!
If I bought any signature bass it would be the wattplower. . I heard he really wanted them to build it how he had his gig bad, Gibson eb-3, setup.
Yeah I am Mike Watt, have a buckett and sit down, I have a Hieronymus Bosch here on the wall, and somewhere there on the floor you have a Gibson or else, grab it if you need it. Cool.
THE LEGEND!
Goddamn @Earthquaker. ‘Bout time one of youzz makerzz jammed econo! Our country’s Bass Laureate getting Hell Ride?! Member?! Perts’Near!!
ECONO 4 LIFE
Fuck yeah! Mike Watt!!
Watt is one cool cat
Mike Watt: subsonic poet
anyone have the tab for "Tool'in"??
Would eqd ever make a Looper?
Or is that too boring for u guys?
I'd love a Looper with an octave down feature, so guitar players can add bass to a loop
drums are easy to replicate, but u need that octave.
If u make it, can I get a prototype for giving u the idea?🤣
Nice editing.. I like when he plays and u show the cool scenery..
nice closeups on his 6-month-uncut toenails.
Nels Cline brought me here.
Flip flops and flannel. Wstt . . . .
wattplower
first
What the hell did he just say?
buying an earthquaker pedal isnt jamming econo
watt's said in interviews that the "econo" philosophy is not about getting the cheapest thing, but is instead about doing your research and getting the most bang for your buck. like he says in the video, pedals are just tools to expand your musical vocabulary. it's up to you to figure out what you want to say and how you want to say it.
his $1,400 signature bass is very, very cool but not econo either.
@@ShreddyGnarGnar but it is econo to use it as long as possible (for example the rest of my whole life! ;^) )
@@ShreddyGnarGnar it is when he got it for free lol
To each their own. Perhaps it isn’t econo for your own personal needs but that doesn’t mean it isn’t econo for every single other individual out there.
