Wish JHS did more demos with bass. Amos Heller killed it in this video 🤟🏼
YES! More bass videos!
JHS keeps putting out pedals and a bass only video is sorely needed! Go forth blend knobs!
🤣🤣🤣
Fantastic demo by Amos.
One of the best Bass demos I have seen on here, definitely peaked my interest into a few more pedals I could incorporate into my own setup.
These are officially some of my favorite videos
The Muffuletta sounds ace! Love that it has 6 modes on it
Those are the coolest kind of videos
you should do more stuff for bass players!!
Wow. That's the best effects demo I've ever seen.
Great video! Cool player! Definitely sold me on a few pedals, VCR!
That jazz bass tone is immaculate!
I really enjoyed this I like that muffaletta and chorus combo
Amos is great player and communicator.
Great video!
I love this man
Awesome player and pedals!
I find solo'd bass with od does not float my boat, but it definitely works in a mix
Good video Amos!
I'm really curious to see a full review of the VCR working with a bass...
Absolutely fuckin smashing bass tone love
Taylor Swift really isn’t my thing but hearing from this high level of a touring musician was extremely insightful. Great vid
Ben Stiller playing bass 😱
I feel like jhs would really benefit from using demont/guyatone stomp switches. They are super well made
That was inspiring.
Cool Amos!
Cool video! Wish the audio wasn't clipping so much tho
Amos rocks!!!
Nice sounds - Great « explications « ( french language)......🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻👍🏻
Bout time bass players getting some love
All these bass players getting outside the box and working to keep their job when keyboard players are making these wild sounds is giving me life.
Bass being filled in by a keyboard or synth has zero soul. A good example of that is Attention by Charlie Puth. The bass is all synth/keyboard and just looped the whole song. For pop stars that's all they're needing. Some underlying foundation looped for their 3 or 4 chords and that's it. No change-ups, chord modulation, tasteful licks or other characterization of the song that can be filled by bass because pop is supposed to be as formulaic and easy listening as possible. Any melodic shift or characterization is done by the top end - vocals, some underlying harmonies made in the studio.
This is really what happened to Desmond Miles after AC3.
Nice :)
More Derek Zoolander bass videos please ☝️
oh i remember watching this video when it was new. Amos made a TH-cam channel since then & it’s fantastic.

One of my favorite videos from him: th-cam.com/video/dQw4w9WgXcQ/w-d-xo.html
Way late to the party, but I hope we see more bass content too!
That slap riff...
ALRIGHT FINE I'll buy it
all of it
Does it really matter if he plays for Taylor Swift, I mean who cares? It’s a gig and it pays well, and you’d probably get to play with a lot of creativity in the tunes, whilst also playing with some other pretty amazing musicians. He is also a great player and knows his shit!
playing with Taylor Swift means that he walks on stages from all over the world, and is a professional musician.
Means he can play, too.
Yeah, whether you respect Taylor Swift as a musician or not, she/her team basically have their pick of musicians. He must be pretty solid.
Playing for Taylor Swift would give you connections all over the Industry
You’re right, he’s basically the same musician as the guy at my local pub, same knowledge of technology, PA, sound, and general engineering. You nailed it chief
Nice fret buzz...
fuck this guy is good
I like that we’re at a point we just call him “Taylor Swift’s bass player”😂😏
Is that a flea signature Jazz he’s playing ?
I don't hear a difference between the prestige on/off.
Never would have expected Taylor Swift's bassist to be so good.
Lol she's a Nashville superstar...she can easily attract and afford top flight session players.
All pop stars' backing bands are incredible musicians. I personally know her guitarist, and he's the best guitar player I've ever seen in person. He's been studying guitar since he was four and can play intricate jazz changes in his sleep.
I would have
And he's pro-BDS, which is cool.
So he has the same mindset of a Nazi? Oh yea, totally cool. Bet you love the peace treaty they just signed tho lol. Racist trash.
@@firemarshal2629 explain pls. i dont know bds, googled it, and none of it compares to what ive learned in 35 years about nazis?
I can’t stand Taylor Swift but I like her bass player.
Cuz of how you decided not to like her, i bet she's chill too.
Weird, none of these pedals are for bass.
Are you really a bass player?
As you can se he is
Of course the dude who play's bass in Taylor Swift's band has two pink basses.
What’s the point of this comment?
Isn't the first one the signature bass of Flea? They even made it look that it is used.
I have two pink basses wanna fight
Must be a bummer to get paid so well to travel the world playing bland, un-challenging, un-fulfilling garbage music.
all the way to the bank
Except that the artists in question is massively popular, connects deeply with her fan base and speaks to her listeners in a way losers like you don’t.
ok dude after this video i see you wasting your talent playing with taylor swift
Hes probably making a great living playing his bass. I would not consider that a waste. Could he do cooler shit, yes definitely, but id take playing for T Swift over my current 9-5 any day of the week.
Depends - some "hired guns" make really good money, but some don't. I'm guessing Swifty probably pays pretty well. Though I can't see him really having the opportunity for a lot of creativity in her music. But then again, the more pop dance-type tracks do have some neat bass tones.
You can't deny that playing sold out arenas for any artist and traveling the globe, all the while making some money to play music would be a dream come true for most people. Hired gun work like that is great because you basically get to do the same thing as the artist without as many responsibilities or obligations (eg: Meet and greet, autographs, pictures, issues with management or things along those lines) and get to just be a normal person once you leave the stage.
Eh! Playing sold out stadiums with Taylor Swift is arguably the best gig on the planet.
I am sure playing bass for the biggest artist in the world opens up plenty of other opportunities for him. Just think about all the musicians, producers, records execs, etc. he has met. And he probably makes way more money than he would doing his own music.
With the flick of a switch, you covince people you never truly took the time to learn how to groove.
lol what?
“I tour with Taylor Swift”
Clicks to next video
Justin Larsen lol shut the fuck up man. Homeboy is in his bag. He’s got chops.
Who are you touring with?
Nuper In Nocte My dignity
@@justinlarsen2281 If Taylor Swift offered you a gig I'd love to see you turn it down. Yeah, sure.
Steffen Gotsch I am no where near good enough to be a professional session or touring musician. No where in that ballpark. However, had I put in the massive hours and sacrifices and taken the risks to become that level of player, going on tour with Taylor Swift would just be a giant heartbreaking waste

stop
is not funny
