See you in the shed!! - เพลง
they both have their moments. depends on what you're looking for.
You're absolutely right!
Exactly
As a bassist I can say that that synth bass sounds a lot fuller than the regular bass at it’s current settings, although I know a lot of other basses and setups that sound way better then the synth for sure
🧡🧡🧡
LOL a lot of people write "it's" and "its" as the same thing
I like them both,,,would combine and mix both types throughout the song..
@@aspic59 So what's the correct way? or will I be put in a camp by the spell Nazis?
@@chuckthebull That's the way it should be done! Any producer will know what sound they looking for. Although you can't do those Slaps on no keyboard!
Synth bass for producing, bass guitar for groovin
Love that!
Only if your bass is not equipped with Sklars ”Producer switch” 😂
Better with a 5/6 string bass if wanting to reach the low notes!
Both have their unique uses, but both are equally cool
💯💯💯
“Give Me the Night” and “Let’s Dance” are great examples of mixing synth bass and bass guitar. ✌️☺️
The synth bass is the sound of my childhood. S.O.S Band, Zapp, One Way etc. The sound was so embedded that when I grew up and started making music I unconsciously used those grooves in my compositions.
A lil before my time 98’ but I’m literally obsessed with ANYTHING from the 70s-80s best music in the world nothing today is competing with the classics 🔥
Awesome dude! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
One way featuring Al hudson all day 💥
@Breakbeats92.5 Great choices but please don't leave out the Woo Master, Bernie Worrell and Junie Morrison of PFunk and Ohio Players fame. Moog Monsters and Godfather's of synth bass. Flashlight and One Nation under a Grove are both iconic for those legendary bass lines.
You're welcome Sir. 🤩🤘🏾
My childhood also. I remember that mug pretty much took over rnb for a time
Bass guitar all day everyday
I like both sounds. Question? I've been out of the music scene for years. The background music you're playing along with how would I get access to this type of music? Respectfully and thanks
I have that synth at home and it's not just bass synth. This thing can do skrillex growls, drums and leads. Amazing synth
🔥🔥🔥
I prefer a guitar, but I can see a use for both.
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Both have their spots in music, also depending on what you're playing, like slap bass on keys/synth has only come so far, and also with certain sustains on notes, heck even palm muting as well, the synth can emulate so much, but can be manipulated tone wise way more sure. And bass guitar goes way farther genre wise, you never see a keyboardist replacing anyone in a punk band on bass haha
Both are great, love them both if you had a band with both and they played well enough it could be fire
the bassist for l'impératrice switches between bass guitar and synth bass sometimes using both for different sections of the song, it sounds incredible
@@Peppershaker got a favorite song of theirs?
@@TheShonz anomalie bleue or voodoo
@Peppershaker thank you so much and cheers!!
Bass guitar has soul, synth bass has atmosphere.
I've tracked both with amazing results!
Bass Guitar always !!!
🧡🧡🧡
both have their place, but l gravitate to the guitar.
Bass
Cool synth playing
As someone who plays bass, I have to lean toward the bass guitar. However, if I were producing this track, I would use both of them blended together.
It really doesn’t matter if Mo Pleasure is playing. It’s All Great!!! God Bless You Always! 🙏🙏❤️❤️
You can get the same sound with a octave filter on the bass... I do it all the time to get that ZAPP sound plus it is more expressive because of all of the STANK you can put on the line. Slides, slurs, vibrato, pinch, etc.
They both have their place, the best part of this is the two combined will make an awesome tone value...Bassist to Bassist very nice.
it depends on GHOST NOTE :)
bass guitar makes groove :)
Both. Them strangz ain't tamed its a whole different feel and sound. You can't beat that realness.Synth for effects. They both have their places.
Human, every time.
It’s a human playing both instruments, so they both have that human touch, but I’m guessing you mean the bass guitar since it’s a more organic and natural sound.
🧡🧡🧡
Bass 🎸
🧡🧡🧡
The guitar has more feel, imo.
Both!
Bass of course!!!!
I like the bass guitar 🎸 The human touch sounds better. I don't think it going to put musician out of work yet 😫. 😊
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Tbh i like it when a song is able to use both, i heard a song that had synth for the lower main bass part while the bass highlighted the syncopation with a slap groove, i dont think it was true counterpoint but the 2 parts created a line greater than the sum of its parts
Layer both + saxo lead and some champagne
It would sound good with the bass synth shadowing the bass guitar in unison with the lead pickup creating that low piano effect sound on the bass guitar..... with new rotosounds
and Mono synth slides vs fretless slides?
Gotta be fretless! 😍
They both work on that piece. But I don't think that's the case in most tunes. Love the Strings.
Both layered together.
Bass solely for the range alone. There's no way you could do something like Stanley Clarke's "School Days" or John Giblin's line on Kate Bush's "Breathing" on that postage stamp of a keyboard.
Bass #1 but I'd blend both together as a producer.
That’s not a question you ask 😂 but kudos for the clickbait - it worked 😂
Depends on the genre… synth bass for hard rock/metal is Cardinal Sin #1. For electro-funk… synth bass for sure.
Love both...
With the synth you can't make "the ghost note"
As a 61 year old bass player with enough basses to cover all bases… I’d go for the Novation
Any tips on how to get this kind of fat yet contained synth bass tone, but on a normal electric bass?
I know octavers are usually step one, but I can’t seem to get the linear and regular sound of say Daft Punk’s Voyager bassline
Synth bass is much thicker and deep bttm.
but the electric bass has another caracter in term of touch and flexibility , specially on the high range
I always thought the bass guitar sounded better but this synthesizer sounds good too
Both. Bass should layin' it down, and synth providing licks on the turnarounds.
The bass guitar is much more varied and expressive. If you used more low end richness in the bass sound then it's easy choice. Bass every time. Synth only sounds good cos you have a very bassy sound
Bass
🧡🧡🧡
As a Bassist i just love the natrual bass, but dig effects. A synthetic pedal is cool.
Each thing to its own. I have electric basses and played on them for over 40 years.
BASS guitar forever
🧡🧡🧡
R E A L B A S S O F C O U R S E
bass guitar
🔥🔥🔥
Why not both?
Of course BASS
🔥🔥🔥
Is there a preamp, compression etc used for the recording track of the bass guitar? This would enhance the BG in such a way that it can compete with this out-of-the-box sound of the synthesizer.
Cool
Love the Synth Bass..
BOTH!
💯💯💯
This guy is the pulse
Why you don't put the video link here?
Both together 😁
Ketchup or mustard?
💛❤️
Regular bass every time
Does this jam have a name?
I prefer the sound of the bass...ah the phrases it gives. However the synth allows a bit more expressivity even though super artificial...
All depends on what voicing you want to stand out- I hear parts of the synth, falling flat from the jump…
The real thing is so much warmer.
The ghost notes from a bass guitar are king.
🔥🔥🔥
how to play ghost note on synth?
You can recreate something similar with super super slappy short notes! 🔥🔥🔥
Synth bass all the way. Thicker, fat, full of groove. From a bass veteran.
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Shout out to the Bass Station 2
Why don't you combine both of synthesizer and bass
Both work
Bass not synth imho but perhaps some overdubbing with synth bass for extra flavor
Love that dude! 🧡🧡🧡
The bass guitar would sound better (for this song) with less tone, probably flatwound strings, a nice sounding hard compressor, a little bit of envelope filter, (maybe a little bit of a high octave pedal before that) and an active tremollo pedal to do the things the synth can sound like, while keeping the organic expressivity of the string instrument VS midi instrument 😋
I have a very definitive answer. YES! 🤨
It’s like hearing two completely different songs
Bass guitar manual is manaul
Is this a song? Then pls Tell the name of it
These instruments are very different from each-other physically and sound wise. The string bass guitar has a very different sound in every string which gives it the natural imperfection that is expected.
Basically, lik Marin Turner puts it the range of the bass guitar is of four octaves and is all bass without lossing the dynamic, like the bite that comes out in the slap the keyboard cannot compete in anyway.
The sound in the keyboard is the same up to the higher notes which gets loss in the higher notes with a sustain sound that continues with the same intensity even when the player handles the bend wheel. That is only e few of the flaws that the keyboard has. Robert L Gerrard an accomplish guitar and keyboard player also gives it’s opinion.
Both I guess
I don’t know that synth sounds pretty damn nice.
For this groove, real bass every time.. Synth bass just gets overplayed way to easily in a spot like this and accents on a real bass are way more subtle.
Bass guitar
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Live bass Duhhhh
🧡🧡🧡
Tuba !!!
For this one synth.
Synth for that song
Bass guitar.
Kind of unfair. Use a 5 string then compare, cuz that first synth note an octave down is killer.
Generally both have their place, just tools in a musician's arsenal. It really still comes down to the 'feel' of the player.
Bass guitar every time as the synth is trying to replicate the bass guitar
Both as an over dub
Davie504 says you didn’t slap 👋
Depends…
Synth Bass hit the groove
Actual bass.
A mix
Nah. Bass guitar, always. Sounds… synthetic! Duh! Doesn’t have the same feeling.
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Real bass
