BEST HAIR CUT IN THE MF GAME
Always lookin' fuckin' fire. Must put a metal case over it when he sleeps.
The plugin is sick and all, but nothing without your superb consistent playing. Great video!
You, Amos and Nolly are people who caused an old man to buy a bass and start learning the coolest instrument on the planet. I love your North German Le Fay bass.
Videos like this are the reason TH-cam was made, absolutely astonishing playing as always man!
oh hello there didn't expect to see u here lmao
The timing is to the microsecond... it's computer like... every pluck and mute, stop and start, sustain or choke. Astounding.
This should be the definitive version of the track, love it, so good to hear the bass a little boosted. Love your work man!
Viola Skyes Thank you. I like to put my bass pretty forward in instrumental records I mix, but it’s so easy to get carried away 😅
@@simongrove haha yeah it's a great mix as is, I just love hearing your bass flavours right out in front 😉
there's all the (prog-) metal guys competing for how can tune the lowest and still play, and then there's this 😂
You are my favorite bass player. Such genius grooves.
I've been playing for 40 years and I never thought bass playing would get THIS cool =^)
I love these tutorials! Keep them up! I find them so inspiring.
Your bass tones are GOLD! Thanks for the video.
thanks so much for this video man. your productions, tone, and playing are among the top of my inspirations out there :) saw you earlier this year. absolutely incredible performance.
I love your playing so much! Seeing you with plini was amazing and I'm looking forward to the next helix nebula album!!!
You guys have an exceptional ears for these tones, everyone in Plini seems to have such a pure taste in tone, it's madness how good the end product becomes 🙌
If only all other videos were this clearly explained. Great Stuff Simo!
Beautiful tone(s)!!!
Hugs from Bulgaria, man! Respect!
Sick bass playing, I like very much
Hey Simon , the tone is killer ! Total brilliance
Killer video, mate! Great work/tone/playing :)
This is my favorite plini track
Thanks for this, Simon!
Very tasty tone, yumm yumm thanks a lot for this tutorial man!
Thanx Simon! The song and the sound of bass is very beautiful. Thumbs up.🤘🤘☠️😈
Wow! sounds great, man!
Amazing!!!!
This is excellent
Saw you guys in Parma and you had the best bass tone i have ever heard!
very unique and musical bass lines
Dude, I could listen to you speak like this for hours
Sick bass dude
Sick!
James Norbert Ivanyi 👊🏻
You're an awesome player! Really enjoyed watching you live in Stockholm :)
This video's gonna sell some plugins.
Love your bass tone, always a pleasure to hear! Hope you will bring it to St. Petersburg on November 7 :))
should call the band Grove!! Bloody Legend. Love seeing aussies smashing it all over the world. Please keep up the playthroughs we love them...Super impressive video aswell might I add. Cheers!
rhythm king!!!
Love ya mate!!!
I would love to see a play through of Sunhead, your solo is incredible. On second thought, just do the whole Ep 😅
crazy!!!
Sickest
Amazing! Thanks Simon. I love these kinds of videos.
Any chance we’ll be seeing anything from The Helix Nebula in the future?
Ryan thanks dude. Yep! We’ll have an album out sooner or later. We’re all quite busy dudes and we just want to do this record properly, but I can guarantee it’s on it’s way :)
thank my idol
GOD
Hey Simon, you and the music you produce are the go-to for what I aim to do with my low-end when mixing! It would be so helpful if you made a video that went through the plug ins and processing you utilize when mixing songs (eg Plini). The tones you get are world class and it would be amazing to see how you do it!! Regarding your low end, do you think a good signal chain would be Darklass plugin-> Submission's Doubletap -> Submission's Flatline? That seems to get the most low end and clarity. Cheers!
What is that bass?? That tone is absolutely phenomenal
Love you
Randy Edwards bb 😚
Simon Grove, more like Simon Groove...
@3:37 daaaaaamn! 🤘🏼
wow that sounds so good
Ryan Siew love you
I'd love to see a tone tutorial for your go-to Helix presets!
This!
How about plini tone for this please Im so amazed by his tone
Hi Simon, What desk do you have? It looks fantastic.
❤️
Love the video!! Could you make a play through of Salt + Charcoal?
Josh Namba sure! The only things that take priority over my video content is my studio and touring schedule. But I’d love to make more videos more regularly!
wow
Yeah buddy!! #geargod
Chris Allison Drums 👹
Please upload a tutorial of Flâneur!!
Can I buy Axe Fx II Patches used on Permanence and Passionflower? Also, can you do a tutorial on your mixing process and how you improved the mix quality so much from Meridian to Passionflower/Permanence quality.
I have Neural Parallax... but now I want the Ultra plugin too!!! And a Herr Schwarz... Does this GAS ever end?!!!!
Is there any place I can get tabs or sheet music for bass part?
Please, record a video demonstrating the timbre of your bass. Like some slap levadas.
do you like the vintage side of the plugin more than the B7k or what it just more appropriate for this specific tone ?
Joseph Anidjar I like both. No real reason behind using the vintage mode over the B7K. They’re quite similar when compared. The only difference is their midrange. B7K is a little more scooped and clean while the Vintage is a little more growlier and gnarly when driven pretty hard. Both are super useful and I use them all the time equally.
With Hyper Luminal's integration into the Darkglass Suite, is that what you'll be using as a compressor from now on, or are you using the Axe-FX, stock Logic compressors or something else altogether?
Greg Pervis The Hyper Luminal is incredible. Genuinely my favourite compressor pedal ever. As for what I use, it really depends where I’m trying to compress my signal. Pre-distortion will make the distortion behave differently. Post will clamp down on any harsh spikes enhanced by the distortion. Some comp settings before an amp can make the amp break up easier or just generally behave differently. Maybe you want that? Maybe you don’t.
In my case, I prefer compression to be somewhere towards the end of my signal chain. So a plugin in this case works best for me. It’s flexible, fast and I can adjust it as I go.
As for live, I run a compressor block at the end of my Helix’s digital chain.
is there a possibility to link the sub kick to use as the IR loader? Im interested to know how that will affect certain mixes.
Would have liked to see your settings for the FET comp, otherwise great video :)
Kalen Austin No real secrets there! 4:1 ratio and fast attack/release settings. About 3-4dB of gain reduction during the harder playing.
@@simongrove Much appreciated! I have found bass compression to be somewhat of an Achilles heel in my mixes.
Kalen Austin do some lurking on TH-cam and study up on compressors. You’ll get it soon enough. 👊🏻
How'd you approach this tone for Line 6 Helix? As I'm tone searching to no avail 😣
What sort of eq do you run on your bass guitar itself, something I struggle with as a guitarist is dialing the bass tone itself before even hitting any plugins / amps ect. Thanks!
Before The Storm flat EQ and a 50/50 blend of neck and bridge pickup. Fresh strings and hard picking should do most of the work.
@@simongrove what desk is that?
Great video! What are your thoughts on combining the same DI twice, one with a clean preset of the darkglass (maybe vintage) for a huge clean low end and one with the b7k for heavy distortion on the top end? Is it a good way or it's better to keep it simple?
I’m definitely down for splitting a DI across a bunch of tracks if necessary. Sometimes I’ll have a DI split up to 5 times all doing different things and I’ll automate their volume depending on the section of music :)
@@simongrove thanks man ;) btw i just downloaded your presets and they sounds nasty hahah so good. Looking forward to see you again with Plini here in Italy!
Ghost bombs!
I'm a guitarist and even I thought this was sick af 👌
What does being a guitarist have anything to do with recognizing how amazing this is?
@@tribbyyonda-bass9186 you don't know? Really??
Hey man, i don't know anything
YES. But can you actually teach me to find the 1 in the first minute of this song? :D
Tony Rotella the first note is the 1 ;)
I asked for that. More serious question - how'd you get that dirt on "Salt + Charcoal"? So dreamy!
Tony Rotella secret sauce on that track was a parallel line to a boss HM-2 for stupid amounts of growl. I actually ended up using it on all the heavy tones on the record in different volumes depending on the part.
Woooooow the legendary HM-2, you're a genius. Maybe I can get there with the new Microtubes X7, similar idea. Pretty "boss" pedal so far. :)
The song focuses on C# major but obviously deviates a *lot* ... you know, djazz.
Looking for one plugin for bass for recording at home... and this is I’m guessing the one...
Simon, I absolutely love the tone on the new Plini album, you’re such a beast of a player. 🤘🏼 What strings are you using?
Thank you. Description is your friend for those sorta questions ;)
Doh! Totally missed it the first time.
I guess I've never heard you speak before, for some reason I had assumed you were Canadian 😅 Great video though!
It's because he looks like an upper-middle class version of Ricky from Trailer Park Boys
Hey groovie please do a sea of suns playthrough. I will comment it a lot so you can make it :)
😭😭😭
Is this tone similar to the Handmade Cities tone?
Cristoferimm yeah it’s similar to most of my sounds over the past year or two! If you’re talking about the synth part of handmade, that’s just me doubling a synth bass from Logic. No secret pedals or settings needed there :)
@@simongrove I was talking, about the bass tone, thanks!
Is that a top C string rather than a low B on that bass?
Luca Scheid yeah! Tuning explained in the description box :)
The tone really blends in with the guitar and the symbals, way too bitey for my taste, i like the low mid around 250 to 500 to be the focal point of the mid boost but the upper mid thing really works for you
Woofy Stevenson 250 to 500 tends to just get in the way of guitars and drums in my experience. Might sound cool by itself but most of my ideas are based on giving the bass it’s own spot in the mix whilst still letting it compliment the other instruments.
No way are you Australian. I always thought you were British !
Wtf is happening at 3.15? Motherfucking alien magic.
I found this video between a POV compilation and some college hot party footage because this tutorial is 110% porn.
Why isn’t Ryan Martinie in a band like this?
He is actually
Nano Machine Gaming no he isn’t lol not like this. Like he should be playing for Plini or animals as leaders or a band like that
He is tho, they are called Soften the Glare
Nano Machine Gaming yea with some lame ass old man not someone who’s young and innovative and relevant
Age being irrelevant, I find them very innovative. He has come a long way since mudvayne, and I'm excited to see him doing things such as STG.
Some people ask me who are my fav bass players.
Simon goes along with Wooten, Jacob Umanski and henrik 🙌🏽❤️
