Well that was needlessly aggressive. Also churning butter has been replaced with a machine for decades now. Menial jobs are easier to have a robot do.@@EffinWit
I started learning bass recently for two reasons: 1- Les Claypool 2- I saw the other video you have where you are playing bass and seeing you trying to brbr deng hurt me so I decided I will do it better You are truly an inspiration for us aspiring bassist ❤
There could be a 3rd reason, a band called Seventh Wonder, amazing bassist, and I'd say especially on Mercy Falls and The Great Escape everyone shines just as much.
@@senditkevin thanks for the recommendation, I’ll have to give them a couple of listens since is not really my type of metal, but I’m open to it and if you have any other band you want to recommend I welcome it ✨
this went from "someone please show tankthetech this to trigger him" to "it would be hilarious if tank just casually walks in and ever so calmly just takes the bass out of niks hand with a headshake "no" and than my final thought when the bass plugin part came in "oh great, he just created every korn song ever"
As a bass player I can say - use dingwall with Parallax plugin if you wanna play bass. I am a guitar player, bass player(primarily) and vocalist and some sort of an (not very good) audioengineer that puts everything together. And I don't know why but those jokes irritate me somehow, but I understand those, and put my thumbs up for Nick
Honestly u did a pretty good job. The distortion made me laugh tho. Not the tone most bassists go for outside of my grindcore project where we make is sound as crap as possible with 7 distortion pedals
After using it the past few weeks its definitely one of my favorites! Congrats to you and the Submission Audio guys and thank you everyone on the team for the early copy!
Never truelly played bass up until a month ago, but I just filled in for our bassist for a recent show, and I was honestly loving it. I threw in some Darkglass and that tone was insane. Definitely inspiring some new music
Congrats on the plug in dude, was kinda half expecting you to put that donner bass in a mix after all the dicking around aha. Either way it was a fun video to watch. It made me smile 😊
When you're playing extended range baritones, its basically touching the feet of a bass. Touching feet is a sign of respect. What I also like is that its a StingRay, been using their all of their stuff so far, this really has some interesting and vast number of articulations.
As a person who started off obsessed with electric guitar I can honestly say after truly learning the guitar learning and a basic level of music theory I realized i love Bass way more and it's the exact Tone I've been chasing since the beginning
Got into an argument with a guy about playing bass, kept saying bass was easy to play and guitar was so much harder, I handed him my bass and said, “if it’s so easy play something” he literally just sat silently staring at it dumbfounded, and I played some shitty chord progression on his guitar. Far from an expert guitarist or bassist for that matter but I can hold a rhythm and pluck a tune
I'd probably use this if I was writing songs and feeling lazy one day or for demos. Once I start writing my own songs properly I'll be writing metal, industrial and darkwave stuff with the odd bit of folk. With a lot of the goth and non goth wave genres bass can often be seen as more important anyways and guitar is just a bit of melody or effects, this a guitar player meaning me saying this so...
Nik be trying to play something complex as if it was a guitar for some obvious reasons he mentioned in title. And I suddenly remembered a band that made me hear bass at it's finest: KoЯn (debut album). So simple yet effective.
Now that you know what bass is, can we get a 'How to Grunge' video that eventually births a whole song? Or Post-Grunge, since that's a thing. Something around Tool, Staind, Cold, that sorta musical realm.

Why do you have to take our jobs?
when are we getting a guitar mixing tutorial into a whole song?
Cheeseburgers
y did u like ur own comment?
As a bassist, this is doing as much damage to my job as AI is to artists. Keep going
If music is art, then a bassist is an artist and AI is stealing your job twice. RIP my man
midi keyboards killed the pianist industry
Exactly same
it's alright. drummers have been pretty much replaced by programming.
They took our jerbs!!
As a bass player this was a series of atrocities
So, the usual when a guitar player picks up a bass and thinks they understand it all immediately ;)
As a bassist I don't know how to feel about this...
It proves 2 things: bass isn't easy, and we are just as replacable as the drummers
@@buddybleeyes I disagree with the second part here
@buddybleeyes In the studio yeah 😅. More replaceable live unfortunately
@@sean_mccadden AI will never be able to replace us. At least... I hope.

Gotta love the dedication of being silent except for “ALSO DID YOU GUYS KNOW THAT-“
Gotta yell that
*WE DO FUN METAL THINGS HERE!!!*
It's a necessity.
Life is like a sandwich, whichever way you flip it, the bread comes first
It's like a caveman discovering fire for the first time
been playing bass for 15 years, never clicked on one of your vids faster. it's great, dude
You might like the band Seventh Wonder.
you know 2024 is gonna be fire when niks first video of the year is about bass
whats next? jared dines solo on violin?

With this plugin, CPU gotta win Nik Nocturnal Awards 2024
Watching every guitarist pick up a bass and act like they mastered it already and say its the easiest instrument ever. Sooo accurate 🤣🤣
this went from "someone please show tankthetech this to trigger him" to "it would be hilarious if tank just casually walks in and ever so calmly just takes the bass out of niks hand with a headshake "no" and than my final thought when the bass plugin part came in "oh great, he just created every korn song ever"
Tank and Daniel K from Electric Callboy will hopefully show Nik the error of his ways if he shows up to the next EC tour in Toronto :P
Finally Nik played true instrument
This is actually the 2nd time Nik plays a bass guitar in a video lol
YOOOO
Bro you’re a huge inspiration for writing and music creation. Thanks for doing what you do!

I wanted to play a real bass guitar before watching this, and now, my desire remains the same.
Honestly u did a pretty good job. The distortion made me laugh tho. Not the tone most bassists go for outside of my grindcore project where we make is sound as crap as possible with 7 distortion pedals
This video proves beyond a doubt that a bass is just an 8 string guitar without the not thicc strings
Love the intro when he played a guitar song in the intro with a guitar plugin
After using it the past few weeks its definitely one of my favorites! Congrats to you and the Submission Audio guys and thank you everyone on the team for the early copy!

Welcome to the rhythm section, Nik 🎉
Love that you played the intro to schism on the base 🤘🏻
No dialogue, just subtitles on screen. I’ve been transported back to the golden age of silent film!
As a (mediocre) guitarist, yes, Schism is our favorite song to pick up and play immediately when we get our hands on a bass.
*This is probably the longest infomercial I have ever seen in history.*
1:54 TOOL MENTIONED!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

You should form an alter ego named Danny Diurnal who only plays piano pop music
nik can be a one man band honestly

I feel like Nik needs a Bass VI type instrument. Maybe the new Ibanez SRC6MS.
Or maybe he should get a 7 string bass and tune it to an octave below 7 string guitar or 8 string guitar minus the top string
Ibanez BTB805MS is the absolute beast
I have a Gio 6 string bass.
@@stationdisatrous647 I’ve got the Ibanez Soundgear SR306EB
Ibanez 5 slammer here

Streching your fingers apart is the hardest part lmao
of course the only reason Nik would touch a bass guitar is.. to promote his bass plugin. well I want it lol
So, what he's saying is playing bass is SO hard, that it's easier to develop software to play it for you?
If you dislike this video its most likely because you're a bass player who just got replaced by a CPU. lol
Probably only TOOL we will ever hear from nik
Nik make a tool video right now

As a bassist this makes me wanna quit just music in general. Keep going
I wanna hear you play bass tho 😄
Grats on the plugin!
4:39 I thought it was bfg division
Honestly, I really like the interface and UI design. nice and clean
Bass is best
well here we go. BASS is finally getting some attention. xD
I'd probably use this if I was writing songs and feeling lazy one day or for demos.

As someone whos gonna learn bass to join my friends band, and who has had a drummer replaced by a software, this scares me if i mess up
I saw this at a very perfect time. I wanna buy a bass guitar. Now I really want to.
Start out with a nice ibanez sr300 or so. Inexpensive and worth every penny and then some.
0:56
Nick first time sees a real musical instrument
Second I saw him hit the pinch harmonic I went "That works!?" and immediately grabbed my bass and plugged it in. I have laughed for way too long now.
It's like a reverse Jack White technique; bass for guitar, instead of guitar for base
As a guitar player if you have a Bass, you would be all like "This guitar only has 4 strings!"
Everyone has a weakness:
-Superman= Kryptonite
-Green Lantern= Yellow color
-Aquaman= No water
-Nik Nocturnal= Bass
Glenn Fricker has been glaring at this video without blinking for 2 hours now...
Same energy as "Caveman discovers fire".
*Cries in being a real bassist*
I've never heard a bass sound more like a guitar than the first half of this video
This is the longest commercial I've ever seen!!
I am happy I no longer live in an apartment. I am sure I would get complaints after listening to this video :D
Nik you promised us you'd discovered bass. What is this strange instrument you've pulled out instead of a fish?
Nik be trying to play something complex as if it was a guitar for some obvious reasons he mentioned in title. And I suddenly remembered a band that made me hear bass at it's finest: KoЯn (debut album). So simple yet effective.
As a tiles setter I don't know what my TH-cam autoplay is doing.
1:45 sounds like me doing a pinch harmonic on guitar
if a quiet place was a youtube video
wait why does the humanize button go from: machine->Human->Basist ? XD
why the distinction of the last two lol?
No words... and then, "also,did you know!"
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Give this man a 5-string IMMEDIATELY
As a cliff burton fan. I can approve this is 100% cliff burton playing
As a bassist, i am in pain
Me a bassist trying out a guitar for the first time: “Why this shit so small”
bro played shooting stars😩😭such a banger
*switches from 8 string*: im missing two
I've been playing bass since I was 12 this is one of the bass videos ever
Every singer wants to have these powers:
- turn down the guitarist
- slow down the drummer
- sober up the bassist 😂
I can't tell if Nic releasing a BASS plugin is genius, or the greatest TROLL ever...
I like how a lot of all that was Immolation of Night
2:00 name of the song plz I can't believe I forgot it
That’s a legit plug-in. Longest commercial ever 😂
1:27 Nik channeled Lemmy
This would make a good modern day Carlie Chaplin film
Goated video. You will always outdo yourself. I laughed at least six times. Pat yourself on t the back, violently.
I love how the whole video was just an ad😂: Can’t wait to try it out.
This is like a 2SICH video and i love it
3:13 what riff is that ? it sounds dope
I don't know 😢
Sounds like he's messing around with something similar to Unholy Confessions by Avenged Sevenfold.
Djenters having an aneurysm when they see a bass guitar that doesn’t have fifteen strings
Does anyone want to tell Nik that there is a 6 string bass.
Now that you know what bass is, can we get a 'How to Grunge' video that eventually births a whole song? Or Post-Grunge, since that's a thing. Something around Tool, Staind, Cold, that sorta musical realm.
Nik out of the water, the documentary.
Caleb with the best edits as always😂😂💯
Was waiting for nik to actually show he can slap on da bass. Was not entirely disappointed.
It's time for a fast lesson from TankTheTech? 😉 Great video as always
THat's it, imma play an upright bass for metal
DO IT
I have been playing guitar my hole life, and now, when I heard that tone I wanna play bass
man, this is the year of regretting playing bass being my lifes calling -_-
Congrats man!
the OVERDRIVE is making my brain vibrate
As a bassist I may as well give up now this is fucking sick. Keep going
Im a simple man: I see drum or bass in the title I click like
Us, guitarists, will all have to switch to bass in two years to play thall. So it's better to start learning now
