"Yeah, Ozzy bought me this one"
I don't think many people know the full extent of how awesome this quote is.
Pretty sure Ozzy doesn't even know who this guy is
@@horseheadnebula1310 I have a feeling both of you may be 100% correct!!!! LOL!!!
Most underrated bassist of all time.
other than robert deleo
Words do not convey how awesome this is. Finally every bassist can experience the moonburst tone. Rock on Mike! AIC forever!🤘🤘
Couldn't agree more.
I admire musicians who say 'we', acknowledging engineers, techs and producers. Mike seems like a great guy. I've been revisiting Ozzy's 'No More Tears' and Mike's work on that album was great.
Sadly he didn't play on that album. It was Bob Daisley. Mike played live and wrote the main bass riff to "no more tears" though.
@@dangiampietro6606 Thanks for this info
@@engelwyre anytime, happy to share information and be respectful.
@@dangiampietro6606 Making the internet better, one conversation at a time :D
@@engelwyre humbled by your kind words, thank you sir.
that bass is so iconic. should watch AIC show back in 92-93. his bass sounds like its coming from the bowels of hell
Still kinda sounds like that!😁
Hell farts?
Mike is so awesome, always the "I'm just happy to be here" guy! Love a musician who can get excited again about his craft and his tools even after many years. And of course loved hearing the snippets of him playing too (I lol'd at him trying to bend those thick strings on a couple of later AIC tunes, I know he had complained to Jerry about that!) Such a great guy, and a monster bass player! ❤👍
Underrated doesn't even begin to describe this guy. I like his work on Jar of Flies and the AIC self-titled album.
Glad he found his signature pick-ups. Keep on rockin'
I'd love if Fishman would make these (or any Fluence) in a P/J combo.
Yes. Actually a P pickup would be more accurate. In another interview he states that the J pup does not work. Since he wont let his tech or Warwick service it I'm assuming it's just a hot rodded P bass.
Mike You were an idol for me when i was 14 years old. Now im 40, You are still an idol and a person to look-up to. stay safe and Sound!! Greets from Europe
Really great, I have respected Mike since I first learned of him. What got my attention was the acoustic bass on the unplugged NUTSHELL.
put a pair of his signature pickups in an old schecter bass, completely different than the EMG-hz's that it came with, its my favorite bass to play right now, and it was 399 bucks...I have much more expensive basses that do not sound as good and are not as versatile. I can play anything with this bass now...gonna be buying more of these and upgrading more of my old basses...thank you Fishman for saving my old instruments from being dust collectors
Just put these in my 5 string Esp to replace the stock ones. They sound amazing. Super happy with them.
Great idea. We need a MM pickup now.
Love Mike! Obviously he's just fucking talented, but also, his attitude is refreshing as hell. He's happy to be doing what he's doing. He loves the music, he loves the work. It's fun for us, but also I'm happy for him. I want him to enjoy it all too.
Super nice guy and Fishman nailed the tone
Awesome story 🤟
Is there anyone nicer than this man? But plays the bass like a damn beast!
Rotten apple sounded sick !!!
Got them preordered today!
Love the Raiders hat
cool bass
Maybe this'll encourage Jerry to work with Fishman. That would be awesome if there was a Jerry Cantrell signature fishman pickup
I think that there is a LONG LONG talkin' between Jerry and Motor City to get His full signature one, but for now You can always use the moror city Afwayu for G&Ls and 2nd Belt for Bridge in Gibsons :)
Gutek z poligonu That would be awesome. Been seriously thinking of getting the Afwayu for my guitar that’s very similar to Jerry’s G&L Rampage.
The blue one is sick !!
I've been using the Fishman pups for about a year now and they're very good.But the SVT is crucial for his tone also.
Using a sansamp and a fender rumble I can get ridiculously close with my EMG PJ set. I find it ironic that his J pickup doesn’t work, yet somehow I get closer to the sound with my J pickup turned on
My fellow countryman, Mike. Hes actually a pure blooded filipino
Can't wait!
Think I might put these I’m my cheap Ibanez, about to redo and mod it. 🤘🏻
wish you guys made a pj setup
*Am I the only one asking this obvious question? If the stock MEC P pickup in his Warwick "Moonburst" is his "holy grail", then why not just use an MEC P pickup?*
I always thought Inez's Moonburst bass sported EMG pickups. Either way, you DO have a very valid point. I can't deny that his Fishman Signature pickup sounds fab all the same.
The bass came with EMG's when it was made in 91'. Mike says in the behind the player DVD that he has never let any of the original electronics or EMG 2 band EQ be touched since install. Ozzy really helped in a way to put Warwick basses on the map as amazing instrument's.
It has an EMG
MEC are terrible.
Some people like them, but I can’t understand why…
This is what it takes to have a Warwick sound like a Spector I guess!
@@spi-fi_media The classic Spector basses just used EMGs, so that's the key to that sound...
Why not pickups down 6 strings or more? And also narrower candy bar models?
Hi Mike! I would like to ask you, which is your favorite bass? Warwick or Spector?
I don’t think he’ll see this comment
Them German Spector copies sure look pretty, though 👍🏾
Man I have an active fender jazz bass and I'm gonna slam one of these in the bridge pickup and a Dimarzio Billy Sheehan in the neck. What a tone that'll be. 3 or 4 voices on one bass. Can't afford the moon burst but dammit I'll have Mike's tone.
Holy shit! Did you do it?? I NEED to hear that? Probably sounds like DD Vernis bass
My biggest question though - WHY in a classic humbucker shape, which is most likely least popular shape?! Most people will have a Jazz type bass, PJ or P bass or a Music Man style humbucker. If I want to buy this (and it is truely awesome and I want to have it so bad), I can't put this into my bass because I would need to rout a larger cavity. Please! I need this in a J-shape!
Perfect rock tone! Q; What is that overdrive? Tubes? or Sansamp?
no overdrive, just an SVT. Live, it’s an SVT-2 PRO, in the studio it’s probably a vintage SVT or a Fender Bassman Pro with all the knobs turned up. He does use a Sansamp, but it’s only for his in ears i’m fairly sure.
@@cactus-mcjacktus So the Sansamp is his overdrive. It doesn't run into the amps, just straight to the PA and the sound engineer can blend the tone as needed.
Wow!
what song are they playing in the background ? it kicks ass
Alice in chains - Stone
The whole album is badass, listen to it
Take a shot everytime his bass changes.....
where can I find the specifications and measurements of these pickups?
Wish he played the whole rotten apple
Can someone tell me, whether or not he used the pbass pickup on his warwick? Meaning he uses that pickup strictly
Love this! Great tone. But to be fair, Mike Starr’s tone was even more amazing. They way his Spector cut through the guitars on Facelift and Dirt. Mike Inez is amazing in his own right, but much of his tone was probably achieved trying to copy Starr’s.
I agree. Mike had a unique distinctive growl to his bass sound. I love Inez though. Seems like a really likable person.
Spectors just rule, but with enough effort those Framus thingies have become great-sounding and pretty-looking, too 👍🏾
Does anybody know what size the pickups are? Are they b2s? 35s?
35s if ur still wondering xD
Hello pare! Kumusta?
What's the song playing in the background??
Alice in Chains - Stone
What bass head/cabinet is he using in this video?
Ampeg 8x10 cab and SVT head of some sort.
Rotten Apple. How great is that,?
Dang! Does Mike even age?
Awesome guy. Great interview. But man the bass does not sound good on its own to me. I keep thinking about switching from guitar but the sound is not inspiring.
Stay with guitar, then :)
he played them bones slightly wrong lol
Rotten Apple \m/
Great. Now put them in a P shape.
Just buy EMG p lol that’s what he used to
Sounded like a buncha poop when he played.
...stanky ears.
@@tiltil9442...stanky fingers...
