Man, Stu is such a cool guy, he's a legend but still talks about his instruments like a geeky dude. This style of video is something I like a lot, cause i can see many basses I'll never have 😂😂
That was strange .. it was like we were sitting down to visit in his home, with a cuppa tea and having a chat / tour - I felt really privileged and right at home. I really enjoyed this vid, thanks. Bring on some more!
That was so good on so many levels bro! So good to see and hear Stu talking,playing and describing his bass history. Nice introspective into his lifestyle and history.
I was aware of Stu as a bassist but generally unfamiliar with his work. However, his massive "No Regerts" tattoo has told me everything I need to know about him. Fucking legend.
First, Yes to more "Bass Tales." Second, Stu Hamm is such a great bassist, and he is a legend in his own time. However, like most legendary bassists he is such a regular guy. Definately one of my idols. And last, but not least, much love and get well soon to George the Bass Puppy.
2:22 That was the best door knock recording of all time. Scared the crap outta me I thought someone was knocking on my bedroom window in the middle of the night.
I never got to meet Stuart Hamm, but I almost had Stu give me a lesson when he was in L.A. He was doing a bass workshop at a school a few years ago. I didn't have any money to pay for the opportunity to learn from him and I told him so. Stu told me if I could make it out to North Hollywood I believe it was he would squeeze me in for free. What an offer ! Then my wife took ill and couldn't make it happen. Stu was such a nice human being that I will never forget his offer to me that day. God Bless Stu for his kindness
Great video series idea Scott! I liked it. Nice to see Stu’s basses. However IMO his best sound and trademark licks were with his Kubicki (never got that sound again). Opposite to that he has played some great stuff with Smith/Gambale but his recorded Fender sound with simply horrible.
This post brought back some good memories about when I worked for Fender in Mexico back in the 90's. I had the honor to meet Mr. Stu Hamm and we all watched him play the Mexican Fender Signature basses we were producing at that time... Thanks for this post!!!
Please do more of these! But man, what a GREAT way to start a series - can't get enough STUUUU. Best wishes for a speedy recovery George (he's one of my favorite Woofers)!
😳😳That Fretless Fender URGE 2 named "Fred"😳😳 I am a Fretless Bass player and Stu Hamm is the one who got me into learning to play Bass with his performance on the Satriani Live in San Fransisco, my first song I learned was his "Country" Song, still learning the faster parts. He is a LEGEND!!
Love Stu... phenomenal player. His work on Vai’s “passion and warfare “ was just amazing... my first introduction to his playing. Great video. I enjoyed it immensely. Good stuff.👍💪🎸
There’s a bass player that have used mainly 2 bass brands through his very extensive career; even though, I saw videos with other unexpected basses. He’s not technical on bass sound, he would just plug it into the amp and play. But he’s a living legend and started as a guitarist and piano player. By now I think you know who I’m talking about. Through his life, millions of interviews but Not one, really NOT ONE have ever ask him what influential source (if there was any), help him to develop his creativity in his bass lines. His bass technique, etc. In few words interview him as a bass player. Please be the first one to do it while his still alive....... “Sir Paul”.
Scott Thought Leader! Great idea grab for bass players. Stu is a fitting first for myself with Radio Free Albemuth being such an influential part of my musical past. I'd say more please. Bassists are people too.😎
Thank you Scott. I enjoyed this video very much. No stress, worries or hassles just fun history, musician trivia and a behind the story story. It is becoming more and more difficult to find quality videos such as yours on You Tube. So much hate talk is being produced and promoted as entertainment that watching your endeavors is always a true breath of fresh air. I would very much like to see more of this type video produced by your fine channel. In final your efforts are greatly appreciated. Please continue. Best Regards, Pops Fitch. One of your many loyal subscribers
Hey Scott, it was great to hear Stu geek out on his instruments. Please do more visits. And George, hope you're feeling better! Sending you some virtual doggie biscuits!
Hey Scott, you should definitely keep doing these! Seeing a legend like Stu geeking out on his basses was awesome and I would love to see more! The Urge was the first signature bass that I ever bought and, like a fool, later sold so seeing one was a very bittersweet moment but still as cool as it gets.
I actually owned one of those in the late 90s. I had 300 bucks saved up when I graduated high school... my parents gave me another 500 as a graduation gift, and I spent everything on a new bass, a green Stu Hamm signature. Played and sounded great, but I eventually sold it because I became convinced it was the worst looking instrument ever made. Kinda miss it though in a nostalgia way.
Really good to see and hear Stu, great playing and family of basses! Definitely more of this please Scott. Hey George, sorry you've not feeling so good, get well soon, you know you're the real star of these videos!! 😉😁
"Happy 2020" then proceeds to talk about upcoming tours....if only he knew then what he knows now!!😱 I guess he figures, "If you're scared, stay home". 😂
Please bring us more.... Stu is awesome and he will always be...Thanks for bringing this legend to us... we cant appreciate you enough for that sneak peak at his personal collection.... I cant afford any of those but its just awesome to see them and learn stories about them
YES, MORE BASS TALES! I love this stuff. You couldn't have picked a nicer, more genuine, talented guy than Stu Hamm to start this series off! I had the pleasure of spending some time with him a few years ago. You won't find a nicer person in the music industry. Thanks Scott
As a bassist, watch enthusiasts and collector of anything sentimental, I love this bass tale video.... to see equipment used for its purpose and the stories that come with it.
This was absolutely BRILLIANT! Love the insights into the person playing the bass as well a short history of the instruments and how/why he acquired and loves them.
Yes more of bass tales and more of George :D My husband is a bassists and I get to know more about and appreciate more of why he loves what he does through this channel and hopefully play with him in the future too :)
Scott, I'm a total beginner and stumbled across your channel on TH-cam many weeks ago. Just now saw this video, so I'm offering a (belated) shout-out of love to George...hope he's back to his normal doggie-self. Can't imagine life without dogs. I enjoy seeing the occasional little touches of your family--it speaks loudly of your character. Many of your videos are absolutely fascinating, some are heartwarming...all are excellent! It's like you've come over to my home for an afternoon coffee and we're just chatting! Cheers!
Wow that was a lot of fun .. thanks Scott what a great video & thanks Stu .. I saw Stu play live with Satrinani in the summer of 88 I will never forget his solo .... incredible!! I remember saying to myself ala Waynes World ... I'm not worthy !! 😂😂 Stu Hamm is one of the greats 👍 Scott I'm looking forward to seeing more of these videos.
Yes , I have learned and continue to learn about the bass and bass players I never knew of . Including Scott, of Scott's Bass lesson's. I Love it !!! Bassist for Life, God Bless ,Keep up the good work!!!
Good stuff. I'd like to see more of that. What a cool guy Stu Hamm is. Been listening to him forever but I've never heard an interview. Get well George!
bass tales is a fantasitic idea, that will get major traction. im sure many would love to learn more about Alembic, specifically Phil Lesh and John Entwistlde's basses for episodes. great channel, thanks
WE ABSOLUTELY NEED MORE OF THESE!!!!! Stu Hamm Is a great inspirational bassist to me and my style as well. Love his tapping and fingerstyle, very melodic INDEED!!!! Thanks for starting this series, I really hope there are more to follow. GET BETTER SOON GEORGE!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely love this guy. I always come to this channel for the greatest content for the bass community. Keep this series going please. Get well George.
Very good idea for videos, bring us more ! Musicians in general, and bass players specifically, have such a bond with their instruments and some players are imediately associated with a specific bass, I think we'd all love to hear about it more, directly from them, in their own words.
I would definitely need more, and again, it would be amazing to see Mr. Tony Levin.
Man, Stu is such a cool guy, he's a legend but still talks about his instruments like a geeky dude. This style of video is something I like a lot, cause i can see many basses I'll never have 😂😂
That’s awesome definitely we need more,had the pleasure meeting him couple of days ago,what a great guy and bass player, @George, get well bud 🙂
refbassist cheers dude 💪
That was strange .. it was like we were sitting down to visit in his home, with a cuppa tea and having a chat / tour - I felt really privileged and right at home. I really enjoyed this vid, thanks. Bring on some more!
Later on in the year everyone actually was at home not allowed out...
That was so good on so many levels bro! So good to see and hear Stu talking,playing and describing his bass history. Nice introspective into his lifestyle and history.
Bryan Walsh cheers for the great feedback Bryan 🙌
You should get Joe Dart on this show so he can tell you about his two basses that he owns haha.
... And this is why there is one knob
@@NewUser2495
"Unmistakable, can't miss it, volume knob"
...
...
"What is that controlling?"
@@NewUser2495 no more government subsidies for active basses
He's overrated

"2020's lookin' good."
HAH! That aged like milk...
hmmmmmm cheeeeese aaarghlghlgllh
Aged like a dead skunk locked in a car in the Florida sun....
SH: "2020 is looking good, gonna be touring with..."
The world: "This did not age well"
HAMMTASTIC!!!
Like milk id say
😔
4 days after this went live the world went to shit
Right, I'm reading this in 2024, and I had the same thought. I'm not sure those shows or sessions went as planned.
Love this style of content. Love it!!!!

"If you can't have fun when you're playing music with your friends, then what is life all about I ask you?"
To true.
2:22 That was the best door knock recording of all time. Scared the crap outta me I thought someone was knocking on my bedroom window in the middle of the night.
Same here, Even now that i know that is in the Video, i actually think somebody is knocking on my balcony doof
LOL
Me too
jesus me too, knocked my bass against the table :(
That is so bizarre me too I shit my pants!! Late at night next to the window!!
Yeah what the hell. My outer door is just to my right, and I ran over to check who was outside. I was absolutely certain someone knocked.
Production on this video was top notch. High five for the editor.
It's a shame that he no longer seems to have his Kubiki Factor basses. That's what he was rocking when I first saw him.
Get well soon, puppeh!!!
More please! Such a joy to see someone passionately showing off his gear and giving some background without it getting tacky! Keep it up!
To confirm your " was there any doubt " question. I will bet heavily everybody loved this segment and would love to see more. Live long.

Stu has been a hero of mine since Radio Free Albemuth. Thank you for having him on. Love this bass tale.
No mention of Kubicki? I have Stu Hamm trading card from the mid 90's. I forget where I got it maybe bass player magazine?

OMG! “No Regerts” tattoo! Hillarious.
YES! More of these videos! Love seeing everybody's guitars. Great stuff! Thanks, Scott.
"But if you can't have fun while you're playing with your friends then what is life all about?"
What a legend.
Thank you for starting Bass Tales. What great stories we will hear. Also, Stu Hamm is awesome!
I suggested this to Billy Sheehan, few weeks ago! He has a lot of nice basses too
Absolutely we need more of those! Thanks, Scott!
Go back, bang on his door and say, "We aren't leaving until you bust out the Kubiki Factor!"
YES
Is it on next video?
kirt fulcher was thinking the same thing... got to play an ex factor forever ago, such a cool oddball bass.
Where’s the kubiki stu?
WORD
Scott, this is awesome, please please continue with this series!
Thank You for giving us so much,.
Blessed Art Thou,
This was great Scott, definitely a brilliant idea 👍 Ahh, I was waiting for Stu to pull out his old Kubicki basses. Wonder if he still has them... 🤔
What an amazing vid!!
Thanx a lot, all of you, who made this happen.
Nice video ! Surprised Stu didn’t show any of his old factor basses 🤔 nevertheless , really enjoyed this vid ... been a fan of Stu for a long time 🤘
Cool concept and listing to stories of actual accomplished musicians is also a great learning experience. Keep em coming 👍
I was amazed that he didn't have any Kubicki basses..in my mind he's still playing them!
This sort of interview is absolutely brilliant. Please make this a regular feature.
"No Regerts" 😂😂😂
Hi George!!! Feel better buddy!
I love that tattoo! Whoever inked Stu was eating a Milky Way!
Hey Scott, it was great to hear Stu geek out on his instruments. Please do more visits. And George, hope you're feeling better! Sending you some virtual doggie biscuits!
Why is the Kubicki skipped over? It's the most important bass of his career, surely.
Hey Scott, you should definitely keep doing these! Seeing a legend like Stu geeking out on his basses was awesome and I would love to see more! The Urge was the first signature bass that I ever bought and, like a fool, later sold so seeing one was a very bittersweet moment but still as cool as it gets.
Sending bass love to George🎸❤️
Bass Love 💕💕
more of this please Scott n co :)
Mate I love this content! Also best wishes to George, hope he gets well soon.
@Scott I like this format to be able to hear how our favorite bass players evolved from the early day and their influences. Keep it coming Scott
Ah man, no Kubicki Ex-Factor... bummer
I was looking forward to seeing one of those.
Scott, yes please more of this type of content. I enjoyed it and learned from it. Thanks.
I actually owned one of those in the late 90s. I had 300 bucks saved up when I graduated high school... my parents gave me another 500 as a graduation gift, and I spent everything on a new bass, a green Stu Hamm signature.

Ugly. In the best way. Fenders most unique bass ever
Really good to see and hear Stu, great playing and family of basses! Definitely more of this please Scott.
Hey George, sorry you've not feeling so good, get well soon, you know you're the real star of these videos!! 😉😁
"Happy 2020" then proceeds to talk about upcoming tours....if only he knew then what he knows now!!😱 I guess he figures, "If you're scared, stay home". 😂

Great idea! The premier vid is fantastic!!
Please keep 'em coming!
Keeping a good thought for George!!
Have a good week!!
"2020 is looking good!" well, that didn't age well...
Totally enjoyed it! Glad to see the behind the scenes of Stu Hamm. Thanks for doing it
Too bad the Kubicki's didn't get some airtime! Owned an Urge 1 too and it was an awesome bass..but man, Kubicki's though ;)
Gotta admit, that's why I watched.
Definitely more Bass Tales please, and get well soon George 🐕🐶🐾
