After watching so many BassTheWorld videos featuring Frank, it was fun and fascinating to get a glimpse of you two unscripted. As a bassist who plays at home only, you provide boatloads of inspiration. And let's not forget you're both making the effort to do this interview in a second language. Respect and thank you! I'd love to grab a beer or four with you two and be able to let loose in German.
Frank, you are an inspiration! I started playing bass at the age of 67 - I'm nearly 70 now - and watching you having fun and giving it the trademarked "Frank Itt" bassface reassures me that my pleasure in the bass can only get richer. Thank you too, Gregor, for the interview.
Ich bin so froh die The Touch Platte mit einem damals unbekannten Terence Trent d‘Arby ergattert zu haben. Franks Basslines haben mich damals umgehauen. Ist aber leider auf keinem mir bekannten Streamingdienst vertreten.
Loved the interview. Do more of those, please. And Gregor, let’s have something similar about you 🙂. Loved your channel and appreciate your work. Keep it up!!
Thanks so much for the chat guys, it’s always great to hear from awesomeness of da Frank. Keep um commin please????? Thanks for sharing guys Paul 14.58 gmt Uk cheers
After hearing Frank's story about the Yamaha BB5GS, I picked one up for a nice price. Very nice-playing instrument. And he was right in a comment from another video where he said that there was a split coil pickup under the soapbar covers. It's actually a reverse-P pickup with the D and G under the coil nearer the neck and the B, E, and A under the coil nearer the bridge. Confirmed this by tapping a screwdriver since I didn't have an airport x-ray machine. Interesting...
I remember wanting the BBG5a, but couldn't afford it, so I got the passive BBG5. I've used it regularly ever since 1997. It's a wreck, and everything has rusted, but it still plays and sounds great. :)
Frank!!! My hero; legendary Yamaha BBG5S mega "bass face" bassman! Mannheim, I am nearby, would it be rude to ask for a Jam sometime?! My BBG5S I have had since I was about 10 or 11. I have fitted my with some artisan pickups from Jerry Sentell in Sacramento.
He seems lovely and it was interesting to find out more about him, but in a way it’s sort of ruined his mystery now. Before, he was just this enigmatic figure who existed purely to pump out fat grooves when summoned out of the ether
Brother Frank Your A Amazing Bass Player My Friend I've Been Playing Bass Over 53 Year's 👍 Love ❤ To Have A Jam Session With You And Show You How Amazing I Play And Slap & Pluck 😆 Ha Ha Ha My Fretless 😆 Keep On Jamming 🎸 My Brother Darryl Bass Thumper King ( Baltimore Md ) USA

It only takes a few bars of Frank's playing to realize that the man is an absolute master.
Father and son united for bass guitar

What an amazing player. Thanks for taking a few minutes with Frank. Much appreciated.
The literal Professor of Bass.
Terrific to know more about this tremendous musician. Thanks for this interview.
As well as excellent tone, Frank has the best bass-face.
He's like the bass version of Gary Moore when it comes to making that face.
My bass face scares drummers!
I think Frank is great. I love his playing. The depth of knowledge and experience is fantastic.
He may be humble but Frank Itt is a serious musician and a very talented bass player.
Frank is great. Always enjoy his playing. oNe LovE from NYC
Thanks Gregor for being Gregor as well! ;-)

Thanks for doing this video. Its nice to get a little insight into the great artists that demo the great equipment on your channel.
Loved the interview. Do more of those, please. And Gregor, let’s have something similar about you 🙂. Loved your channel and appreciate your work. Keep it up!!
Cool! Thanks for doing this.
Thank you Gregor. Thank you Frank.

Grandissimo Frank, sei di ispirazione

Thanks for sharing guys
Paul 14.58 gmt Uk cheers
I thought this was going to be the fatherhood reveal video 😜
Seriously, though, it’s great to hear a bit about Frank. Superb musician.
Love Franks playing!
Thanks for this amazing interview.
It would be great if you could do that with all the players which you show here on your channel.
Yes! Frank is an absolute legend!
Groove Master!
This is awesome. Would love to see the other demo guys like Renee or Phil do this kind of interview setup for a video

Please interview Lars and Rene! :-)
Mr. Bassface himself!! Great!
This man can take magic out of any bass even the cheapest one.
I remember wanting the BBG5a, but couldn't afford it, so I got the passive BBG5. I've used it regularly ever since 1997. It's a wreck, and everything has rusted, but it still plays and sounds great. :)
Cool interview!
I would love to see an Adamovic episode with all various adamovic basses. Frank is a real bassmaster!
Frank , you are a number 1 !
Great meeting you, Frank.
Frank is Itt.

Wojtek Pilichowski covers Frank Itt's "Profilaxe" quite often.
HEY BART BASS
Loved this!

Danke für das schöne Interview..... Frage: Welche Saiten benutzt Frank. Sorte und Stärke
super cool idea! should do it more often!
Does being a big guy and the bass faces, adds to the playing or adds any advantages for playing bass? On stage or in studios?
There are a lot of us big bass players. Not too many guitar players. Kind of like opera singers ; the bigger the better. FRANK BASS FASS !!!!
Thanks Frank for being Frank!
Great interview, Frank do you have a view on th BB3000 basses of the 80's ?
Frank "the Face" Itt
Frank Rocks!
Much nicer than his bass face suggests.
What do you mean “like everybody I have a studio and produce”? Can you expand on that?
Frank owns a recording studio where he produced all kinds of artists and works with his students
His bass face is cool.
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FRANK IS KING, SON!
He speaks!
Good video! Let's have another interview with the bearded bassist from Chechnya!
I need a Frank Itt bass lesson
Frank Itt is a German legen on the bass.
Hi Frank, which bass would you recommend from the current Yamaha lineup? And why?
Great, i do not know about others, but i would like to get to know other people, like Renne. :)
That bass at the end was cool are those rubber strings?

FRANK IS COOL
Hat frank nicht mit Marcus Deml gespielt 🧐🤔
Bass face guy :0
MORE FRANK!
That´s basicly Itt. Frank Itt. 🙂
Ein wahnsinnig guter Basser. Ich kenne keinen besseren, bzw. Bässeren 😂
How many years of practice do we need to develop the perfect "Bass-Face" ?
You either have it or you don't. Just like you can't fake the funk.
Distorted Face Frank the lead BassTheWorld basist!
