    This is pretty cool man, thanks for demonstrating rickosound in a stereo setup, people only seem to show it as a dual mono, bi-amp sort of sound. I don't understand why people don't like stereo basses, they give you a perfectly mono compatible source that sounds way fuller.

      Thanks man, it's a bit tedious to setup but once it's done you're ON!

      @@NXPBass Have you ever modded another bass to be stereo? (Jazz bass, thunderbird, exc) I'm just curious how other instruments sound in stereo, and if the closer pickups of many basses narrows the stereo field. I don't think it would, so long as the two pickups sound different, but who knows?

    I'm so happy to see someone making a video using the Ric-o-sound jack. I use mine ALWAYS!!! And no one ever goes into it absolutely magical sounds. There are so many incredible things you can do with it. Also NO ONE ever goes into the pedals that can accommodate this particular set up. I know that the Billy Sheehan pedal and the source audio stereo eq work great with this, but still no one makes videos on that. I'd live toss more stereo basses being used and new ideas and pedals on this subject, I think more people would see the true beauty in what they had no idea was "the rest of what Ric and other stereo basses" can do. Thank you so much for this video. And PLEASE where did you get you cable?? I have only been using the Hoza stereo ring/tip cord. I want something more durable like a "regular" bass cable.

      Thanks so much for the appreciation man! The cable I use is certainly durable but not cheap. It's the Rickysounds Stereo-rama (black, right angle version)

      Yes I love that pedal. I've never left it unplugged since i got it. I often use it with the distortion off, just the tone from the EQ part is great already

    Wait, so does that mean that if you only have a mono setup you can only play through one pickup at a time on a Rick or does it feed both through the main channel if the secondary isn’t also hooked up?

    • @NXPBass
      @NXPBass  Před 2 lety +2

      No the Standard output is the same as on any other bass. You can use the pickup selector and send both pickups through the same signal.
      Rick-o-sound is a stereo output which sends the 2 signals as separate channels

    You mean 'true' stereo, as opposed to RIC"s dual mono (no blend between channels),

    Wicked bass but man the volume level is so low in this video (even in headphones).

    • @NXPBass
      @NXPBass  Před 2 lety +1

      It's panned mostly into the right ear so you can hear it separate from the backing tracks. There may be an issue with your headphones or device right channel or settings
