    He’s right about the wave forms. I’m on the spectrum and see the waveforms in single notes and tri-tones. I don’t see double stops or chords when more than three notes are played.

    Been a subscriber for a while... Lovin it! Was wondering if you have a place to listen to the "electronic" music work you have done. I built a pedal rig to make jungle basslines and love all your pedal vids, but would like a reference frame for how you have utilized your gear in a mix. Big fan, huge inspiration, and Salud, coffee drinker!

    the tone I'm going after is MESHUGGAH (for life) and bass tuned @ 432 hz (forever)
    Bass tuned to (u guessed it) Meshuggah tuning
    F A# D# G# C#
    Bass to
    1) Boss TU3 Tuner, to
    2) Ebs compressor, to
    3) Boss Metal zone (after this video) (high gain closer to bass), to
    4) Ibanez Tube Screamer (guitar) to'
    5) DOD Death Metal Pedal, to
    6) Darkglass B7K,to
    7) US Metal 21 rectifier to
    8) Ibanez Bass Tube screamer (TS9B),to
    9) Boss Bass Overdrive, to
    10) Boss Bass Equalizer, to
    11) Zoom B3 bass processor, to
    12) Noise gate and finally to
    13) EBS Amp / headphones.
    I still have to tweak this up a bit, rearrange the order and let' 's see how that goes.

    Hi Janek what brand nylon tapewounds do you use? I have major issues with D'addarios rusting beneath the tape and need a more durable alternative.

    • @megajames3000

    • @stevebadachmusic
      @stevebadachmusic Před 6 lety

      I was going to say labellas as well. I've never had D'Adarrios rust though. Had the set on a bass for over a year.

    • @SodThisGiveMeABeer
      @SodThisGiveMeABeer Před 6 lety

      Man, I've had 3 sets die on me in the past year. Moisture seems to get inside, the core rusts and the tape loosens and disconnects. I do get pretty sweaty playing, but the tapewounds on my upright, which I play 20 times as often, have had no issues. Sadly the company that makes them doesn't do them for electric bass.

    • @stevebadachmusic
      @stevebadachmusic Před 6 lety

      maybe it's where you live too. I'm in Northern Canada and it's hardly humid. And my hands are very dry.
      You have tapewounds on an upright? Or are they just flatwounds?

    • @SodThisGiveMeABeer
      @SodThisGiveMeABeer Před 6 lety

      Yep they're tapewounds - Presto Jazzicato. That's an interesting point, I wouldn't have said the environment but come to think of it the problem only started when I moved closer to the coast/salty air. Even so the D'addarios would seem to be overly susceptible to corrosion. I guess I'll give Labellas a go and hope!

    Maybe I've lost myself... Where would you place a synth in the effect chain?

    • @JoeMM5
      @JoeMM5 Před 2 lety

      Are you asking where to put a synth pedal? Because that’s normally after compression and octave (and maybe fuzz) but some pedals work much better at the very start because quirkiness.

  • @yetanotherbassdude
    @yetanotherbassdude Před 6 lety +3

    Janek, at 8:08 you say you don't like pedal boards because you want to change the order of pedals. Have you looked at loop switchers like the Gig Rig 2 or the Musicom EFX series? With those, you have each pedal in its own separate loop and the box allows you to create presets to select which ones you want connected and in what order. You could have one preset with looper 1 into looper 2 and another with looper 2 into looper 1 and just switch between them on the fly with no noise and with a single footswitch press. The Gig Rig 2 also allows you to switch things around on the fly so if you want to do something that isn't in a preset, you can just change the settings and do it there and then. It does mean you end up with a bit of a mothership of a pedalboard, but if you're using a lot of effects and want to switch them around a lot as you do in this video, that seems like a much better way than just toting a bag o' pedals around. Cheers!

    • @yetanotherbassdude
      @yetanotherbassdude Před 6 lety +2

      I've actually been asking them for an episode on bass for ages and they've always replied back saying it's something they want to do but a big part of why they haven't yet is because they need a well-known bassist who uses lots of effects to come in and help. I think Janek would be fantastic for it!

      I would love to know why it is that, literally without fail, the kind of person like you who takes the time to be an "internet critic", NEVER has anything to show for it. A blank channel. Zero content, and no identity.
      I mean, at least we can perhaps respect you for potentially using your actual name to write this pointless negative bullshit. But beyond that, how is it that you consider yourself to be contributing to society by talking shit on a public forum? Not that I care what people think about me, I just wonder about the macro picture, and the mentality it takes to write something like that in plain view for everyone to see.

      @@janekgwizdala I admire you for your kindness in your reply here. I also find it incredible how freely some people simply criticise and denigrate others, such as yourself, who actually create and achieve things. I suspect that often, it's simply a child crying out for attention from a grown up.
      I wouldn't even credit this kid with the word "critic". I think the word "troll" is more appropriate.
