Dirty Dängle Lovers! Who's in love with the Mammoth? Or what do you use?

if you are a bass player, being able to get a clanky tone with your fingers is the most valuable skill to learn for rock/heavy music. imo...

As the wise philosopher Beavis once told us, "The angle of the dangle is inversely proportional to the heat of the meat." and if you want a meaty bass tone, you have to have the dangle. Its science.

"you need a good sounding bass guitar" me with my korean knockoff p-bass: this should do

Massive Metal Bass Tones with Kristian! Love it my friend!

when he made the bass go "dangle dangel dun dun dun" ...that spoke to me ;o;

It's that perfect mix of low-end punch and high-end clank

One of the best bass guitar sounds I've ever heard!

I first saw this plugin on Glen Fricker's channel, and while Glen did a good overview, I think you've knocked this one out of the park in terms of the "how and why" of dialing in this sort of tone. +1 subscriber.

Until now I´ve had so many problems with getting a tight, "grunty" bass tone. The result was often a mix of to much compression and therefore lowend mud + too much distortion which doesn´t cut through the mix (pink noise against guitar pink noise) I´ve just tried the trial version of it and OMG, the sound just cuts through like butter. It even sounds a bit like the bass sound from "Prayer Position" by Periphery which I absoluetly adore! Thanks for letting me know of this plugin dude!

I’m just gonna leave this here... Neural DSP Parallax plugin

Awesome. I always play with a pick. Can't finger pick all that well and I get more attack and bite using picks. Really works for the sort of tone here. Low clean thumpy bass, mid growl and gank. Great vid man.

Dirty, grinding, cutting, distorted bass 🤟🏻John Entwistle was ahead of his time

the dangle . I've always tried to explain that tone and dangle is perfect. love it.

You're my favorite person on KZfaq right now, and you're making my tracks sound BR00000000000000000TALLLL!!! Thank you for all the FREE content!!!

Killing it dude. Love all the output from you lately. Bass is my favorite part of writing. Glues it all together and makes it sound brutal and gnarly. Keep it up 🤘

Thank you Kristian for the word on the Mammoth plugin! Used it with your IR on a recent production ... before I had been creating the same effect, but with 2 bass channels (DI + Amp) & a sub-bass channel which sounded ...similar... but the Mammoth plugin achieves the exact same result, makes it so much easier, and the bass cuts through the mix even better honestly! Absolutely awesome with fresh strings!

First off, really happy to see more Fernandes guitars and basses through your videos, always loved them. And I loved the bass video you made for the URM guys so I am glad you gave us another take on getting that tone! Thank you!

You make 2020 so much cooler. Thank you!

I bought Mammoth after watching you and Glenn's review of it, and I REALLY love the dängle-preset of yours on there! It sounds killer and brought my mixes to the next level!

Really appreciate you brother. Your really good at doing these videos . Very informative and love your whole vibe man.

MY GOD! What a tone. Absolutely killer!

So important in metal is to have a solid sounding bass tone, great vid!

Whenever Kohle says Dängle, I get "Werner Beinhart"-Flashbacks... Only the germans will know.

Currently I'm a guitarist, planning to play bass in a band I'm starting with a good friend. This video's a great point of reference. Also I got into heavy music through punk first as a teen, so there's no stigma when it comes to playing with a pick ;) Cheers again for the tips!

I got this plugin for my phone and it sounds unbelievable. Totally changed my mix.

Love the DI tone. Thank you for the tips! Also thanks for the presets on Mammoth.

Love the Mammoth plugin!! I got it as a preorder when it wasn’t even out yet. Awesome video as always Kohle, but we already know that 😉 Waiting for the ultimate Kohle IR pack to destroy them all!

Love the fact, that they gave me an update with your IRs since I already purchased it. Huge thanks to aurora dsp and of course to you Kristian. Love your content!

Amazing bass tone, thanks for sharing your knowledge!!!

I got Mammoth a month ago and it's amazing. Only bass plugin I need. Awesome video.

Nice, I've always wanted to get that piano like bass tone!

Kristian is delivering gold...As usual!

Mostly 9 of the 10 plugins i buy don't work as promised but this one makes me very happy. It is wurth the money. Thank you for this video and sorry for my bad englisch. Love the channel. Cheers

Hört sich sehr gut an 🥳🤛 Setzt sich in jedem Mix durch

Totally makes sense watching this! All bassists should have this tone! Mixes easily and sounds good matching the guitarist’s volume too. Awesome video my friend 🤘🤘🤘🤘Definitely a brilliant video with valuable information!

Awesome information! and what a song, love when the slow melody kicks in... love it!!! I follow you because of URM academy, I am a composer and started as a producer too. Mr, Kohle have become in one of my favourites creative producers, huge inspiration. Best regards from México!

That's some proper bass tone!! Fckn awesome \m/

Kohl - you have the most informative music production channel on YT. Please keep it up with the tutorials / techniques / production tips. I’m sick of watching FAQ videos 🤣

TWO metal bass videos!?!? Thanks for sharing your secrets of the dangle with us!!! I always default to all knobs on the bass cranked like I do on my guitars. I also usually stay with the bridge pickup. I'm going to have to re-think this approach!

Been toying with the idea of buying this plugin for a while now! Just bought it! Prost!

Great Killer Bass Tone. I bought this Plugin yesterday cause of your intruduction. Cheers Karsten

Brutal defined tone. Nice job 👍

Goddangle ,thats a nice sounding bass btw! Anyway great video, learning so much from this channel, keep it up!

incredible vid !!! appreciate the education .. thats clear cut, tested n tested, info liil

Definitely making mixing much easier! Thanks my German brother! 🤘🏼👹🤘🏼

Great stuff Mr Kohle! Bought the plugin very soon after I toyed with the demo. Your tips make this plugin sound even better! Dängle on!

I bought Mammoth last week. Sick plugin. I'm gonna try your IR tomorrow :)

cool plugin!, yes I thinking the same about clanky tone, new strings and pick! but i use the UAD svt classic for that and now thanks to you ill use the mammoth plugin, sounds pretty sick, thanks!

Habe oft Probleme einen geilen Bass Sound für meine Songs zu finden aber das Plugin ist ja mal perfekt! Keine unnötigen Knöpfe oder irgendwas verkompliziertes. Mega!

Great tips man! Love the tone!

Vielen vielen Dank Kristian!

Bro your making the most helpful videos for metal, Thank You

"you need a good sounding bass guitar, which you can't download" *Laughs in Submission Audio Djinn Bass*

This video is soo usefull, thanksss

Amazing tutorial. Cheers from Stockholm.

I love the blue!

Wooow, just Woooooooow, it's cristal clear explenation to get that FAT sound, thank you very much

Great explanations, I will experiment further.

this video is awesome. as a punk/metal bass player ive always gone after that clank dangle dangle sound and this nails it perfectly. I hate having conversations with other bass players about "real bass is played with fingers blah blah"

Great sound Man, thanks and hug from São Paulo 🤘😉🎸

*stares in Alex Webster* lol boosting the high end on the bass preamp is a great tip, thanks for the video.

I love how just a Jazz bass with both pickups and tone at 100% sound for Metal

Jawoll! Endlich ein deutscher Musikanten KZfaqr, der Humor hat und akzentfrei englisch spricht. Mehr davon. Ick bin ein Dängliner.

Thanks kohle love your tips

Kick ass tone - thanks!

"it's more metal to play with a pick", idk the last Archspire record had one of the best ever captured bass tones and Jared Smith plays with his fingers

At first i thought i would'nt choose that bass tone. But in the mix it sounded fuckin' awesome! Cheers from Portugal 🍺🤘

As always a great video. i did this with parallax by neural dsp and i got a brutal and great Tone! best channel for recording and producing metal.

Good job, good tone, good bang bang.

Bruuutal! Great plugin! I have too!

Sounds mega amazing, I must have this plagin

Awesome tone !

FINALLY!!! THANK YOU MAN

Wow. another great video Kohle! thanks so much for doing a bass tone video. it seems to get overlooked a lot and is so crucial to building a good guitar sound. Not gonna lie, i got really excited the other day when i saw i had an email from Kohle! made me all warm and tingly inside... and thirsty for some beer! as always, you rule!! i'm gonna go smoke a cigarette now.

Wow, i am testing the trail version of the mammoth. Sounds realy cool. Thanks for the vid and greetings from Freiburg! :)

Killer tone... and killer video (again)!!!!!!!

Thanks Kristian! Great!!

Great video !!! Great tone !!!

I like that intro "This is about that... Ding ding ding ding djng" Ill adopt it 😜😜

Mommoth, the Parallax killer. Sounds even better an is way more versatile. Thank U for showing!

Fantastic content Kohle!

Gerade gekauft und ausprobiert. Das Dängle Preset ist richtig klasse geworden!

Finally! Get that Kohle tone!

In the past, I have double tracked the bass DI but put a Wampler Leviathan pedal on one of them. Its made for guitar but sounds unreal on bass. Mixing the two with a little compression gave me what I'm after and sounds very similar.

My fingers are quite good at getting that "dängle" thing! Hahahahahaha (great video!)

Super nice video! I will try Mammoth (I just download the trial). I may buy it this weekend!

I just updated a bass recording I'm making based on your workflow and yeap pretty brutal results. Even if you use other plugins you can get very similar results if you apply the same concepts. Thanks dude!

Been looking for something like this video for what seems like forever yet KZfaq algorithms keep suggesting worlds dumbest criminals 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️ definitely a new subscriber 🤘🤘🤘

ooh. Ironically got this video the same day my Dimarzio split P pickup is finally getting shipped to me! ordered it in april, but... covid. so yay! bass madness will surely ensue. clanky dangle time!

Have to say: that bass tone is killer!!!

I think the key point is the stainless steel strings. Before watching this video I didn't know how important they are. I couldn't find prosteel or Warwick where I live but Markbass energy series have worked pretty well. I don't use the mammoth but I used the same tricks explained in this video in Amplitube and it worked. So, in short: This video changed my life and I get the DANGLE DANGLE tone I was seeking for a long time. thank you man. 😊

Thanks. Making a big differcene!

Marvelius 🤘🏼😎

Great vid Kristian! You're super entertaining and while I'm not using Mammoth, this gave a few ideas to get more dangle dangle and less shitty shitty!

Great video, I’ve been meaning to pick this plug it up after Glen Fricker reviewed it. I do get really nice bass tones with the ProTools sans amp PSA-1. But I often have to duplicate the track etc. I totally agree about how much distortion is necessary, sometimes bass players are totally horrified when I solo their bass guitar.😂

Thanks!

finally! thank you!!!!

love all your info! Very helpful to me as a metal bassist. I wanna say 2 things though: If you haven't tried them yet, give Sadowsky Black Label Steel strings a try. They sound a little bit less bright than DAddario Pro Steels for example but for me, they hardly change their tone. I just love them. Pro Steels I wanted to change after like 2 weeks (not recording, just playing) or 4 weeks at the latest. The Black Labels stay on for months and keep sounding great. And about playing approach: absolutely true that a pick will give you more clank, no question about it. It's not really a big deal to make a bass sound metal when playing fingerstyle though either. What you have to do is adjust your technique for metal (don't play like a pop, funk, whatever player) by not plucking in parallel to the body but hitting towards the body and make the strings bounce off the frets like with slap and of course you have to adjust your bass' setup to match your playing technique. Then it's very simple.

This was awesome, I’m still applying your previous brutal bass setup but more using different other plugins with satisfactory results anyway killa! 🤘🏻
