Damian! You sound incredible as always… Congrats on ur new instrument 💐 Beefy it sounds 🔥 Headless makes so much sense for travel ✌🏻 Big thumbs up to Skjold 👏🏻👏🏻
Hey Damian. Franklin here... Love the sound - especially with the thumb and tapewounds. Awesome!... I would have liked to hear you play with the tone knobs a bit. While I love that sound in general, sometimes something with a little more highs might serve the music....just curious.
Man you’d make a piece of twig and a rubber band sound good but this bass is really really nice and passive too,the neck pickup sounds perfect for Dub/Reggae music.I saw on a Nick Rolfe page a band with you him and Tyrone Hendrix..would love to know/hear some more about it if possible ( late to the comment game .😁)
Sounds amazing! I'm curious what kind of tapes are these? I also have a headless 5 string and i wanted to put La Bella's on it, but they say their strings can't be cut (except on the silk wrap) so they can't be used on headless. Any problems cutting the string after clamping them down?
Those are D’Addarios. I’m not sure they are meant to be snipped either and was worried about them unraveling. I threw a pair of nickel strings in my gig bag just in case but 2 months in and they’re fine!
I’ve always played either a 4 or a 6 but a 6 just doesn’t feel right to me in certain contexts. I actually prefer the way I tend to play on a 4 but, especially for funk, soul, etc.. I really miss that lower register. A 5 seemed like the best of both worlds (and it turns out that I really do prefer a 5 for many things). Feels more like a 4 to me but with that lower register. I kinda fell in love with this thing. I haven’t played any of my other basses since!
Those tape wounds only come in one size and, yeah... I think they are 30-130..? :) I usually use medium light strings (nickel), when I'm not using the tape-wounds
Magnificent. I wish boomers who think "that don't look right" would stop dominating the guitar market so we can finally make headless the norm. It's just objectively superior in every metric.
I’ve never made videos all that consistently and honestly, I’ve just been way too busy this summer. I’ll likely get back to it this winter when the gigs slow down a bit.
I got to hear that bad boy live tonight. That bass in your hands was truly a joy to behold. Thanks!!!
Thank you!
Beautiful, Damian!!

Do you pay full price for Pete’s basses? If not what kind of discount do u get?

@@DamianErskineBass great to know thank you!!

Hey man! Thanks! It's a 33" scale. Reaaalllly loving this thing!
Color perfectly matches that microphone your wearing aswell this was meant to be
hahaha
You sound just like yourself Damian, wonderful as always :) Question: Why a 5 rather than a 6?
I’ve always played either a 4 or a 6 but a 6 just doesn’t feel right to me in certain contexts. I actually prefer the way I tend to play on a 4 but, especially for funk, soul, etc..

Bonsoir Damian, quel type de corde utilises tu? 30- 130 ?

Why did you stop making videos???
I’ve never made videos all that consistently and honestly, I’ve just been way too busy this summer. I’ll likely get back to it this winter when the gigs slow down a bit.
It has a great sound, but I wouldn't deem it as "extremely versatile".
Jesus man, you looking like a full size Peter Dinklage from game of thrones….. eat a sandwich or something.
