Thanks! I took a little pause but the fingers still work.

Thanks!

I like to think he would be playing outdoor concerts with blue and orange lasers! Probably not. I spent a while tweaking the treble control on the bass to tame the zingy metallic sound but keep a tiny hint of raspy overtones to give some warmth. It’s a very fine balance, a little one way and it sounds woolly and muffled and the other way sounds edgy and clicky.

Hey! Thanks Richard and it’s great to hear from you! Hope you are well. How is the music going?

Amazing bass track by the great Tony Levin! There are a few videos on TH-cam about this iconic bassline if you search for it. It’s well worth it if you like this song!

Thanks! The octave pedal makes a huge difference.

Thanks for listening and the kind words! I have the bass recorded in Logic Pro - the signal chain is Warwick Fretless -> MXR Bass Octave Deluxe -> Boss CE5 Chorus -> UAD interface adding some compression while I was recording. The original track had the bass stripped out with Moises which is an amazing tool for studying music.

Wow, thank you!

Thanks! Actually this was an exercise entirely aimed at tickling out the very low frequencies from my Dingwall. There is a Db in there but most of the notes are accessible on 4-string. The real trick I found was to play very lightly, which focuses the fundamental and not the overtones. If you play hard it loses all the low end. Then I did boost the bass with the active preamp but after that i kept the signal chain very clean so not lose any of the good stuff in phase effects or other noise. The DI sounds is the purest sound of the vibrating string.

Thanks! It’s a great exercise - I’m just developing my chops and posting my progress but Bach really helps to fine tune the technique. Thanks for listening!

Thanks, appreciate the feedback. Still working on my bass playing and still have a long way to go on the mixing front!

Much easier than you would think. After a few hours you won’t notice the frets but you will notice how great it sounds!

Just random books collected over years. Nothing to do with bass particularly!

Glad you like it!

Thanks!

Thanks!

i don't, but thanks for asking

No I don’t but I am learning bass so this was quite an exercise for me! I wish I did play cello - such a nice sound.

Danke schön!

My lovely wife offered to get me one during lockdown and Dingwall offered your signature model in the gorgeous Le Mans colours. This was during covid and I was just starting to learn bass while watching your TH-cam channel! Thanks for watching, it’s an honour. I’m taking online lessons and posting my efforts on my channel to observe my progress over time. The location is my humble study at home in London, England.

Watched all your posted videos. Doing a very good job. Keep it up and enjoy! All my best wishes, lee

It is indeed!
