Man, I feel ya with the whole direct to the noble thing (not that I have one lol), but lately I just prefer my P into just nothing (clean DI). The pristine unaffected tone

Great playing! :/ rounds just sound so one dimensional to me

You know when you earned my respect? “I like the _edge_ of edge-of-breakup” Those opening tones so excellent. I don’t understand this obsession with ditching harmonically-complex tones in favor of distortion or “saturation.” I, like you DIG those clean tones. That’s really what saturation does best, imo - boosts x-order harmonics without distorting the wave very much. And it’s sooooo clear to me when I play my HX stomp straight to daw vs when I’m not-lazy enough to drag out my Mesa TT800 and use it as a clean DI. You can immediately hear the difference a tube stage makes after D/A conversion.

39:14 ish - the inaudible 5th fret harmonic happens most likely because the neck pickup is at around a fourth of the string length (where 24th fret would be). When you hit a 5th fret harmonic , the string does not vibrate on the 5th, 12th and 24th frets (dividing the string into four equal parts). Definitely the case with strats (their neck pup is at 24th fret position)

Older Kings of Leon is far too underrated.

Thank you guys for the honest review (i think it's the only one). It made me understand it's not for me, and I need to look elsewhere.

I'll say it, versatility is overrated.

Would love to see a Suona thinline fretless bass.

Want this!!

I love the bass, but I hate the price tag :) Seems like they did a very limited run with these.

Hi, "suona" means "it sounds" in Italian, I think because you can play it also without amp. Greetings from Italy!

Sounds very much like an active bass, scooped, crisp highs. Interesting bass.

I never seen this jazz bass before and now I want one. And you're right, its not on the website anymore. Must've been a limited edition.

Super informative

Thanks for doing this, real cool guys

Such a good convo, thanks again guys. Keep it up!

I’m tempted to send you my cortex just to convert you. I too was once a “never digital” player.

Shes my inspiration for picking up a bass god bless this lady❤

Thanks for another great episode. BASSED. meets In The Pocket surely 😎

What’s your opinion on putting the Noble vs the Capo on your board? Differences?

Formative years are spot on.....Zane Boyd had the bass right?

The problem is that Gibson is lazy and stubborn to upgrade their designs. Make a with compact headstock with light tuners, use a titanium truss rod (they exist) and a super heavy bridge.

I just saw Kevin on this tour. He was killer.

I’ve tried everything going and I really love my jazz body precision neck bass that got jammed together

Carson, this board looks awesome-super clean, really creative, and nicely routed, man. Thanks for walking us through it! I'm personally loving the addition of the Strymon Flint; it's such a cool option to have that vintage Reverb/Tremolo. But we didn't really hear anything about it! Maybe you could chat a bit about using reverb on bass?

Hey boys, love this podcast btw! Nick - have you checked out any Union T&T pedals for analog dirt/drive? You tried any others since this episode?

Loved this

OK, one thing I would point out, is with the master volume flat stick, the pedal responds like a real SVT with the output tubes breaking up. The pedal is capable of extremely clean tones, as is a svt by NOT maxing out the output vol.

Do you guys have any experience with the DSM Bass Simplifier? I’d be really cool to a studio focused review of the product

I would watch Andy do karate across the stage ALL DAY LONG!

I had the opportunity to watch Kevin up close and personal during Jazz Fest in NOLA this year and it was amazing watching him, I was memorized. I've never seen a bass walked so perfectly in real life. I'm hooked.

Kevin, Nick, & Carson: great conversation. Truly enjoyed it. Safe travels all!

The best! I love Kevin’s playing

Great podcast! As much as I still yearn to own a Tube Head like a Fender Super Bassman 300W, Matamp, or even that Volta, I do zero gigs that would require such power as everything I do as of now is straight FoH/IEM's. I have a Mesa Subway 2x10 Cab just chilling in the basement unused at the moment. I practice now through a powered PA speaker or a little IEM setup straight off my board. The CAPO is still mighty tempting, as well as their class G stuff. I digress 😂. Awesome work guys!

Blend is the clean unprocessed bass signal, NOT the mix between the both sides as stated at 6:00 (A and B are serial, not parallel!). all written in the manual!

sounds like theres a lot of players here who know way more than i do on this subject, tho i do like the neck through part for its effect on sustain... you were mentioning cool tbird players, n he wasnt the best but id like to mention pete overend wats of mott the hoople fame.....wrote born late 58......always liked all the way from memphis good player great stage persona.... my2c

Great video thanks! My board feels like a tiny mouse now 😂 Bass Pedalboard Demo 2024 th-cam.com/video/bxgoZwkPBk8/w-d-xo.html

Hos are you powering this setup? Cioks?

Nice board and well thought out. I actually have a Noble but swapped it out for my Ampeg SCR-DI. I was the touring bassist with the Motown group The Miracles for a few years and just needed that Ampeg tone. The Noble is a nice clean tone for other uses though, but in my opinion way overpriced for what you actually get out of it and I’d be scared to death of taking it on the road with those tubes. In the studio I’ll use my Acme DI box direct in more than the Noble as I play a lot of R&B sessions. But the Noble is the bright shiny thing right now so a lot of my fellow session pals are using it as do I on occasion. It does sound good. I use the Source Audio EQ2, C4 and Gemini running through a Disaster Area DMC MicroPro for pretty much unlimited EQ, filter, synth, phaser and flanger options. For an Octave I use the Seamoon Octatron (best I’ve heard and replaced my OC-2). Then Oceans 11 reverb which is rarely used but when you need it you need it.

Grizzly is bae. It’s so versatile.

Amazing board. Super clean and thought through. I am now giging for such a long time and every year my board becomes smaller and I use lesser FX.

Great board!

That board is probably worth more than my car ha

Love the board bro! I really enjoyed your rundown. That BB sounds killer. Cheers

As with all things, our tone is only as good as our FOH guy. Cool that you can mix all different saturation levels independently. Patiently awaiting my CAPO, trying not to count the days.

Turn the damn output down. WTH…
