Big up for Doug, the only drummer on the planet that can sit there and not hit anything while people are talking or doing stuff. Respect!

I had a bass player tell me once, "I can change what chords you're playing, so don't mess with me."

Yes, more bass shows please. Fuzz and overdrive on bass. Modulation effect on bass. Different bass amps? Keep up the good work guys.

It was SO GREAT having a drummer there in addition to a bass player. Hearing one without the other is like riding a motorcycle without the wind in your face, or a chocolate chip cookie with no milk.

Such a professional, down to earth, soulful and lovely bass player. Please more Dishan on TPS! Cheers guys as always!

As a guitarist even, this is one of my favourite shows yet. Playing with people rather than in your bedroom is the best part of playing music. Developing that instinct is the hardest and slowest thing I've found, but when you start to get it, is the most rewarding. It's as if you have to throw out all you know about playing and start to just listen instead. Playing with people taught me that my rhythm sucked and now thats the bit i try think about most. Simpler and tighter is always more enjoyable than listening to someone treating the rest of the band like a backing track for themselves. And amen to being the worst member in a band! I still suck but that's so important for developing!

Mind blown! It’s been years since I’ve seen Dishan. Went to uni with him in Perth. Glad to see his still killing it!

This is my favorite episode in like a YEAR. I'm a bassist that converted to guitar for a while with HUGE help from this channel on dialing in my sound. Love seeing it come full circle now, could not be happier with this channel. Keep it up guys

Humans in a room listening to each other and making music. This is what it’s all about.

It's so amazing to see how far TPS has come! From the modest pedal shed beginnings on Dan's GigRig channel to a full band! God I love this show!

You know what i learned today? That what in truly love about that pedal show, is simply how much mick and Dan love music. They respect the artists. Builder and player. The topic is gear. But the show is about what we love. Music. Thank you Mick and Dan. Thank you

The joy. It's about the joy. Look at their faces. Joy. Hard to come by, so get it while you can.

I think this is my favourite episode ever! The gear talk is always great, but the advice that is given by Dishan about how to approach gigs, and attitudes towards them etc is invaluable. What a top guy! Also, love Doug's drumming, he got dem feeeels. Awesome as usual Dan and Mick!

The band, Elwood!!! The band!!!!!!!!

Dan was in his element here in that jam. Great to see his modulation use in context and loved the textures he was adding with his parts.

"Why write a comment when you can contemplate music and humanity for a while instead" Lost. For. Words. Thank you.

As a bass player primarily, you guys have helped me so much on my quest to be a better guitar player. Loved this episode! Dishan is a pocket monster! If you're taking requests for bass-centric episodes, I'd love to see a shootout between the various styles of DI boxes (powered, passive, Jensen transformers, etc.) There's a few out there on KZfaq, but they all lack the clarity you guys seem to provide on every topic. Thanks from the US.

As a "bedroom" guitarist, bassist and drummer, I very much approve.

Still one of my favourite ever pedal show episodes ever to come back to!

You've raised your own bar beyond guitar and pedals and into the "musician" space. Bravo! A+ across the board! Thank you because I feel like I struggle with bass as a guitar player too!!!!!!

Brilliant - just brilliant ...

Really loved this episode guys! These dudes are killer!!!

Can't believe I never heard of this cat. So funky but musical and his articulation is sooooo clean. you guys funk pretty good as well. Drummer was perfect for this show, you could tell he was laying back but still playing with conviction.

Awesome episode. Yes please, some more episodes on bass and bass pedals.

What a passionate guy. Great show guys.

You guys took the whole show to another level with this episode. Love it!

This suddenly turned into one of the best rhythm section instructional videos ever made. More of this please!!!

So good. Many thanks to you all.

Bass player here - Any chance of filming an updated Jon Stockman video? He has a signature darkglass pedal that is amazing. Tim lefevbre, Justin meldal Johnson and Juan alderete are all excellent bass effects users. Another cool idea might be to get some bass effects manufacturers/designers on the show? Doug Castro from darkglass or spencer from 3 leaf audio?

I love hearing his philosophy. It was about 14 years of playing guitar before I picked up bass (ended up playing for 4 years in a band as a bassist). The one thing that pushed my guitar playing forward more than ANY other thing. It's the most important guitar on stage, and the one taken least seriously by most. It can single-handedly make or break (read: ruin) a band's sound.

Dishan is super cool! (and really good at bass obviously). Great video guys.

Bass player here and...FINALLY!!!!. Watching you guys for several years now. Subscribed. This was awesome. Would like to see more interaction between guitar, bass, and drums as far as pedals are concerned. Please consider keyboardists too if possible. Also, would love to see a return visit from Jon Stockman. He is excellent. Thanks for all the hard work you do.

I was a Guitarist of 20yrs that fell in love with the Bass when I bought one to record with, it's now the only instrument I play and videos like this where you show a mutual respect to all band members inspire me even more! I'd stopped watching TPS on my move to Bass 2yrs ago but this has got me back on board, great work guys! Ps. Please use Dishan again he's an influence 👍👍

Bass and Drums working together always awesome.

Rey glad o stumbled upon this video. Life changing as a 40 yr old bass player, there is always something new to learn weather it be a new thing or a new spin on an old thing. Cheers guys and more bass stuff pleeeeeeeaaaaaasssss

Welcome Dishan and Dougie! What a fabulous groove these gents create!!! This has brought TPS to a whole new level of giddy joy! Please have these fellas back... thoroughly enjoy you guys all having a bash!

Really appreciate this guys putting everything you’ve been teaching us over the years into the context of a band is so helpful👌 keep it going ❤️

Rhythm first. Always. Dishan really nailed it on that one. The dryness of the new room really brings out the detail of the recordings, good call on that construction decision. Sound wise the intro blues sounds like a record. I did a double take because I thought for a moment a backing track was playing. And kudos to Mick for those horn-like licks on the outro funk. The four of you just made the world a better place. Greetings from Puerto Rico.

Great stuff - and THE GROOOVE, GENTLEMEN. THE GROOVE.

YES! I’ve toured with Dishan and am a huge fan of the show so this is pure heaven!

I’ve been watching for years but just now made it back to this episode. I would love to see another bass show with Dishan or another player breaking down their current board/tones and style. Thanks for all the great content, gents!

glad he got the point across on how important a bass player is in a band, because we are like swans cool and just grooving on top and driving the beat, keeping time, forming the foundation for the melody, and causing a ora underneth! great show guys keep up the hard work

Hey guys, please more of the above, really made my Sunday morning, while the wife was snoring !!!!

Doug is a legend. Also an amazing drumming teacher. ✌️

"Can you play with Doug?" "No!" I just literally exploded out loud laughing.

Watching your drummer having the time of his life when he gets to jump in the groove with that bass 🤟🏽🤟🏽

Best episode in ages. What a lovely young man and a bloody epic groove-smith!!!

nice to see a very humble musician , playing at the top level - session guys are really overlooked some times . .. where very often they are more talented than the "star" ... fair play for featuring someone like this .TPS

2 years later... what an episode!!! Loved it!

Embarrassed to say Dishan wasn't on my radar until today. What a lovely, lovely guy. Great to see a rhythm section working out. Really enjoyed the show this week gents, thank you all!

That was hypersupermegagreat! Its always great to see and hear a bunch of guys having a blast making music.

Man, that was bloody brilliant. Outro jam was absolutely spectacular. Please do more of these. Ace!

Really enjoyed listening to Dishan's philosophy on music, bass and effects. Could listen to him talk for hours. Seems like a very solid dude!

Awesome effort, really shows it's all about the music. Doug is a legend and needs his own t-shirt in the store.

Fantastic guys, taking the time to balance the roles in the band - superb.

So cool to have the whole band playing together. Everyone plays differently when in a band situation. Love it.

So glad you’ve done this… Although generally I’ve always seen myself as a guitarist before a bassist. But ironically in most of the bands I’ve been in over the decades it’s been in the bass chair that have done the most playing. So it was great to see this type of pedal show item on Bass.

Really great show! I loved it❤️😍😍

Thanks guys. And yes, more bass please!

I am so freaking happy you guys made this video. I love Dishan's approach to the instrument and the I agree so much with how he thinks about bass, and it was just awesome to see him break things down and pull back the curtain on what makes a good bassist. Also that jam at the end was *unreal*! There was just so much groove and feel between all of you guys, it was just awesome. If you guys are looking to do any more bass videos, the one that I'd love to see is a look at bass tones, both with just the amp and also with effects, and how they relate to guitar tone and the rest of the band, kind of like when you looked at guitar solo tones a while back and broke down what made a bad tone and then what you could do to make it better. For me, a big part of how I approach any bass tone is to see where it fits sonically with whatever else is going on, and I think it's the biggest mistake that a lot of bassists make is to forget that, especially when it comes to adding effects on the bass. Like guitarists, we bassists are just as guilty at find tones that sound great on their own, but in band just don't work. The low end drops out, or the high-mid note definition is lost, or whatever. I'd love to see you guys delve more into that relationship between bass tone, guitar tone and the rest of the band, drums, etc. As always, cheers for the great videos guys! Can't wait to see what you tackle next!

What an addictive player Dishan is. Loved every note, what an legend!

I was really feeling bad for Douggie, and then Mick came over and gave him a hug! Good man Mick! Overall, this was an awesome video! As a guitarist who **tries** to do some home recording, I feel clueless when I add the bass track. I know that playing bass is more than just playing the root of every chord! This was a really good intro, and I definitely would like to see more of this! (I also like the band synergy talk, particularly when Doug and Dishan talked about what they were omitting to make space for each other.)

So many guitar players also play bass. Would love to see a show on both pedals and amps (fender bassman) that work great for both guitar and bass. This was a great episode!

Ahhh man…Great Bassist..beautiful feel !!!

THIS JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER.

I used to play an open mic blues night for like 2 years- and I’ve heard the cream of the crop blues musician from the Seattle area. This intro gentlemen- was as good as it gets. It felt so natural and pure.. and I felt the joy and love of the blues... and that’s all you can hope for. Fantastic playing - all of you... truly!

Yes yes yes! What a great show. Cheers guys - all 4 of you!

Groovaliciousnesserocity!!!!!!! I know you know it, but you guys are so blessed to be around and a part so much good music. Thanks for sharing with us. I have a nephew who is an accomplished bass player. I never really paid much attention until I had the opportunity to hang around him some. Then, I checked out All About the Bass on Anderton's, just for the heck of it. Nathan and Lee are both very engaging and would make good guests on TPS, I believe. I have really enjoyed learning more about the instrument. I can't wait for the TPS Band!

Very cool, as a bass player turned guitarist, this was fascinating. Great grooves and Doug-what a monster player.

From a guitarist turned bassist (out of necessity) who now does both when needed, this was a great conversation.

I love where this bass sits in the mix. And he’s a great player!!

That blues jam. Oooooh yeah.

I was not familiar with Dishan Abrahams but I want to thank you for introducing me to him. I really enjoyed hearing his thoughts and perspective. 👍🏽👍🏽

I've been waiting YEARS for this! It's as good as I hoped it would be! Thank you!

The bass and drums kinda remind me of Pino Palladino and Steve Jordan's rhythm section. Absolutely killer.

This is great! More bass stuff! Dishan is so funny BTW, and of course just so awesome to listen to. Great episode!

Guys, this show is truly magic, thank you so much for doing it. Genuinely puts joy in my heart. Keep doing it forever!

Hey guys, just to keep this on the radar, keep the bass vids coming pls! 🙏🏼🤘🏼

Showing the bass some love.. great episode! Lots of great effects out there for the bass. Every one laid down some amazing chops as well.

That last jam is just so EPIC!!!!!

As a guitar player that recently started also playing bass, this is extremely helpful. It would be great to have more bass videos :D

That was brilliant.

don't think i'll ever look at a bass player in the same light again...!!!

As a multi-instrumentalist and TPS fan, am so happy to see this happen, especially with such great guests (both). Nice job!!

one of your best episodes with genuinely interesting pedals

As a guitar player who occasionally dabbles with bass (with usual guitarist-plays-bass results) I'm fascinated with how different the bass is and how real bass players approach the instrument and their gear. Thanks for doing this show! Dishan and everyone sounds great.

Best show yet. Dishan is really interesting.

Didn't think a "bass" episode would be as informative as this was. Mr. Abrahams is a class act. Some great tips for guitar, bass, and drums. Regardless of the instrument.

Young Mr Abrahams has certainly got his Funk Thang going. Pleasure watching this one. I'd have sworn he was playing Flats till he told us they were Wounds.

What a nice personality the bassist seems to have.

Such nice playing by Dishan.. Panda Audio Future Impact was such fun sounding pedal.. Dan & Mick please do more bass in shows

This is the only youtube channel I sub (guitar or otherwise) that gets better, more informative, and more entertaining EVERY WEEK! You guys are the best!

Your shows are always interesting and fun but you have been on such a roll lately. So, so good!!!!

1. Doug doesn't just need a hug, he needs a TPS DRUM EPISODE! 😁 2. That Macmull is sounding good! 3. This episode was fantastic! Forwarding to my bass buddies as we speak.

As a guitar player who plays bass, I LOVED this episode. GIVE ME MORE PLEASE!!

Of all of the expanded universe videos you guys have been getting into lately, this was my favorite, very informative and helpful. I would love to see more of these handled with this much care and expertise. I will say, as a guitarist who gigs as a bassist as well, this reinforced a lot for me. I will recommend for fellow guitarist to try shortscale basses, as they can be far easier to connect to. I have fallen in love with Fender Mustang Basses and Fender Bass VI. Keep up the great work and awesome progress with this show. Thanks

Doug Here!!! ? Also, what a great sound, the Funk Jam at the end was such a pleasant 'Noise!'

Loved this show. Great to hear the pedals used in a band context

Awesome episode guys. Loved seeing a full band in the room. Please do this again in any context.

More please... this has been the best video ever for me even better than all the Joey Landreth videos I’ve watched over and over. One very happy bass player thank you guys
