for my taste, the trick with the duality fuzz and bass fuzzes in general is less busy playing. you lose a lot of clarity when you start doing a lot of complicated runs, but if you lay back on a doom metal type bassline, the fuzz will really sing
Jeremy Hyrkas totally agree, although there are a few high gain fuzz pedal's out there that really cut through the mix and have more definition such as the famed pharaoh fuzz for guitar, it's amazing on bass as well. but yeah high gain fuzz plus bass equals some fun good ass doom/sludge metal
Held out on Darkglass for a long time because of the prices. My first Darkglass pedal was the b7k ultra. Now I want the duality and the vintage microtubes also. You'll spend the money in the long run buying and selling cheaper pedals. They are expensive but worth the money IMO.
Can we have a video just showing us what regular equipment Nathan uses when he is playing bass in a band on stage or by himself for fun (e.g. what pedals, amp, guitar does he prefer to use)
man i went deep with these pedals lol - Vintage and A/O Ultra, Hyper Lum, and Harmonic Booster plus a Neo cab. Suffice to say its rly fun to play my rig now and ready for most anything. All I did was sell some magic cards..RIP Not very keen on that Duality pedal btw. you can tell its one of their earlier models.
Darkglass used to be from chile then moved to Finland, there's a little fun fact and a bass player with a good fuzz tone would probably be Troy sanders
So when your running pedals like this on say Mesa Boogie Subway D800+ would you have that chain of pedals go into the Effects loop? sorry new to the whole pedals things But need to start thinking about purchasing some and how id set these up with a Mesa Boogie.
Lee was probably right for having the vintage deluxe on. Fuzz does sound a lot different when it is played through compressed amps. I guess playing the fuzz through the vintage deluxe or the compressor would have sounded less harsh.
Yea that compressor wasn't really effecting the tone too much which is I guess what you want! Lovin the Vintage Deluxe that sounds in the same kinda ball park as some of the Bass Drivers out there! Impressed with that one!
Best sounding comp ever, the first where you can actually hear the compression improve the tone (rather than just level it) without cheapening it. Don't like the fuzz at all. Overdrive is nice but nothing I can't get with other pedals if I'm honest. If I had the money to spare I'd get the compressor immediately! Unfortunately it's way out of my budget, but you can at least hear where all those dollars are going (unlike with most boutique gear)!
Cliff Burton used a very fuzzy sound that sounded great. If you play more melodically but in a slightly down-tempo manner then the duality sounds epic, especially with higher notes and strummed chords. Have Dave come in and demo the Duality. He uses the B7k.
hrodbert696 I know the model. They usually don't have that kind of figuring is what I'm talking about. In fact I can only think of one brand that does mixed or half figured guitars and that's Kiesel.
What patch cables are those? I've been looking for some flat ones but when ever I do they aren't heavy duty at all and die quickly. Or I see some from several different brands all with the exact same picture so I'm a but skeptical to get them
But he also uses several thousand euros worth of equipment to get that tone. Your average bass player doesn't have the means to copy Chris Wolstenholme.

+NorwayBall yah this specific thread did, but Jesus this has been a decade long discussion since Hysteria came out in 03 and everyone keeps leading eachother to the wrong place for "that tone"
I love Andertons' videos, except for the bass related ones. They always succeed in showing how little they actually know about basses, bass gears, and their qualities.
That entire rig is dirty to begin with. how can you demo drive or fuzz pedals with a filthy rig. You need a clean amp and bass for good bass drive sounds. I never use a dirty amp for dirty bass sound. i get it from the pick ups and a drive pedal. you can't use both. Same principles as a guitar amp guys.
That bass makes those pedals sound like shit and I know for a fact that those pedals do not sound like shit. Any Fender bass I dont care what kind of pups you put in it will still sound like any other muddy flubby fender bass. use a Spector or Warick with those pedals and you will see what they can really do.

A tip : you can watch series on flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching lots of of movies recently.
@Samuel Jack Yup, been watching on flixzone} for since december myself =)

Why not start a series sounds like but oriented towards bass guitars and players? Maybe idea for the near future :)
Finland mentioned.
We shall meet at the marketplace.
Great Video! Bought 2 Tone City pedals yesterday from Andertons. Really great service and nice people!
Oh my yes. Can't wait for the amp!
Darkglass used to be from chile then moved to Finland, there's a little fun fact and a bass player with a good fuzz tone would probably be Troy sanders
In my opinion Lee is by far the best Electribe player ever to appear on this channel
You guys have got to try Empress pedals. Best Comp on the market and great line of pedals. And from Canada Eh.
Please keep the techno-pop coming!
So when your running pedals like this on say Mesa Boogie Subway D800+ would you have that chain of pedals go into the Effects loop? sorry new to the whole pedals things But need to start thinking about purchasing some and how id set these up with a Mesa Boogie.
man that high gain fuzz is nice, got some good kick, makes me really wanna check this out in person.
love shaping bass tone with my band
Bass player from Muse has one of the iconic fuzz sounds
Three amps, all with a Russian big muff and a boutique drive from Japan in front of them going into 15" cabinets
the kind of gear you need to win to lottery to get one rig lol
I bought my B7K in the Andertons shop last month. Haven't looked back! B3K next ;)
Capt: You're obviously a far better bass player than I am.
Nathan: I'm not sure about that.
ROFLMAO.
That filter on the fuzz pedal looks like a frequency range selector. Similar to on the Way Huge Swollen Pickle(one of my favorite fuzz pedals)
'If I pick it it'll never get better' made me giggle at my desk...
Lee was probably right for having the vintage deluxe on. Fuzz does sound a lot different when it is played through compressed amps. I guess playing the fuzz through the vintage deluxe or the compressor would have sounded less harsh.
The Lancashire-Finnish dialect? How delightful.
Yea that compressor wasn't really effecting the tone too much which is I guess what you want! Lovin the Vintage Deluxe that sounds in the same kinda ball park as some of the Bass Drivers out there! Impressed with that one!
I found it sounded similar to my pork loin also
Great video guys!
you guys should do a video over your favorite compressors.
Best sounding comp ever, the first where you can actually hear the compression improve the tone (rather than just level it) without cheapening it. Don't like the fuzz at all. Overdrive is nice but nothing I can't get with other pedals if I'm honest.

Can you do a blindfold Squier/Fender/Custom Shop challenge please?
Ah theese pedals sound so amazing! I really want them but they are so expensive.
The B7K is what you need to demo! That one is the bee's knees!
Cool T shirt, Nathan. The latest Frost album is top banana!
Cliff Burton used a very fuzzy sound that sounded great. If you play more melodically but in a slightly down-tempo manner then the duality sounds epic, especially with higher notes and strummed chords. Have Dave come in and demo the Duality. He uses the B7k.
Jesse Keeler of DFA 1979 definitely nails the fuzzed out bass thing
Review the new Musicman Cutlass and Caprice bass as I want somebody to do a decent review!
Yeah sorry but this demo did not do this brand any justice. they are very high quality and sound absolutely amazing in person.
I mostly agree. The vintage overdrive seemed really versatile but I'd be willing to bet all four pedals are just as cool when used well.
The figuring on that bass is interesting. Unusual for a Fender, almost got some Kiesel/Carvin vibes going.
It's a Fender Dimension. Came out a couple years ago. Kind of Fender's take on the Stingray concept.
hrodbert696 I know the model. They usually don't have that kind of figuring is what I'm talking about. In fact I can only think of one brand that does mixed or half figured guitars and that's Kiesel.
Is that a Roscoe Beck bass?
What patch cables are those? I've been looking for some flat ones but when ever I do they aren't heavy duty at all and die quickly. Or I see some from several different brands all with the exact same picture so I'm a but skeptical to get them
they are from mxr ,i think
Al Cisneros from Sleep & OM has my favorite Bass Fuzz tone.
But he uses 5 amps to get his tone.
I'm not sure but I just love his tone lol
The sitcom editing haha
Quality banter
Yes, and quite a lot of it. The fellas went over 8 minutes and 30 seconds before even playing the bass...
Pretty sure this one isn't on the 'All about the Bass' playlist. Why the uncategorized upload?
Al Cisneros of Sleep/Om fame is a master at the bass fuzz tones.
Does anybody know if the equalizer stays on while the pedal is off???
Today, I are be mostly eating, avacados xD
And yes, it was the Fast Show
you should try the behringher bod 400
you don't have the B7K because of Alex Webster. he made that pedal insanely famous
Yeah muses base playera has an amazing fuzz tone. ( chris wholstenholm)
Deeper underground! :D
Review the sub Ray 4
Cliff Burton....The fuzz master....!!!!!
Can we get Nathan some glasses please?
Cool!
Also why is there a vitas song on that drum machine
Great demo of the pedals, thanks. Keep the small talk and jokes to a minimum though
Duality, the NIN and Muse pedal
13:36 where's Mike and Jay??
Muse... Bass player has fuzz tone down to a T
But he also uses several thousand euros worth of equipment to get that tone. Your average bass player doesn't have the means to copy Chris Wolstenholme.
inb4 "how to sound like Chris Wolstenholme without breaking the bank" get on it Bea
Well they had a really close version of Hysteria going for a sec... I thought for sure he'd start playing it

yes!!!

Not a fan of the fuzz
Bongripper...

Ever listen to any RATM? Tim used a Jazz bass and has one of my favorite tones. But he bi amps it
I'm a metal bassist who uses Darkglass with a Fender Jazz bass-- I don't know what Fenders you've played but I beg to differ...
