A brand Darkglass M900 bass head just arrived at the studio (it's VERY cool!)...
So, I thought I'd do an 'unboxing' video for you and put this new head through it's paces to see what it can handle! ;)
Make sure you watch ALL of the video... because I'm giving this new amp head away (the full details of the giveaway are in the video).
As always, see you in the shed...
Scott :)

Gotta be Chris Wolstenholme from Muse. His riffs are massive, both with distortion and clean. You can also notice that he has a massive knowledge about pedals, so it would be really really interesting. Cheers from Spain!

Bob Daisley who is one of the most under-discussed rock bassist of all times! Got a gig doing Ozzy tribute band stuff and his work and lines are freaking awesome,understated technical brilliance :-)

JOE LESTER of Intronaut!!! Fretless Bass needs hmoooaare (get it?) space on your channel and in heavier music it's still soooo refreshing! Joe Lester doesnt play just roots and stuff, he is a jazz mastermind and adds so much remarkable and catchy lines to Intronaut's proggy and organic music. I was hooked the first time i have heard them and I would love to see how he approaches his style and how he uses his instrument in band context.

Geezer Butler. Geezer started out playing jazz and blues. He, along with fellows, Tony Iommi, Bill Ward and Ozzy Osborne , created the genre we've all come to know and love as heavy metal. Geezer has kept abreast of the genre and many of its many evolving sub-forms. He's proven time and time again that he is NOT an obsolete has-been. Geezer has probably forgotten more about the subject of hard rock-metal bass than most of us will ever have time to learn. He's technically proficient to a super degree. He knows how to tastefully fill the dead spots in simple riffs and generic drumming (not calling out anybody in particular, Vinny Appice). He's innovative, melodic, and HEAVY. So, it should be a no brainer. Geezer is the man.

Gotta be Geddy Lee. Not only could he talk about his amazing bass lines but also how he approaches singing and playing multiple instruments at the same time..... years of experience, years of awesome bass lines, that man has a lot of knowledge to share!! Plus, he always seems really nice in his youtube videos!

For me it would have to be Evan Brewer. I remember watching him and Scott do a Skype session way back, and it was just so inspiring to hear two great bass players talk about bass guitar. I love the versatility Evan brings to creating bass lines and tone wise in whatever project he plays in: from a smooth midrangey tone in The Faceless, beautiful tapping and chord progressions in his solo project, to the aggressive double thumb slap technique in Entheos. I would love to have him create a course for Scott's Bass Lessons. The amount of diversity that course would contain is just mind blowing!

Scott, if you could have Billy Sheehan teach a lesson that would be amazing. The guy has so much knowledge and wisdom. I just watched his guitar center clinic and picked up a bunch of new things. I know he could be so beneficial to anyone (and really everyone) watching your videos.

Steve DiGiorgio would be great to see. Not a lot of fretless players in rock/metal, so it would bring an interesting perspective. He's also been seen lately playing a 5 string strung with only E, A, and D strings in the top, middle and bottom slots, which could make for some interesting material.

Of course guys like Billy Sheehan, Geddy Lee and Tony Levin would be awesome. Levin - specifically his work with Peter Gabriel - on Secret World is still one of the coolest pieces of bass playing ever. But, who really fascinates me is Pino Palladino. How he can play with The Who, Nine Inch Nails, Tears for Fears, Erykah Badu, Clapton, Ed Sheeran, Adele, Phil Collins, David Gilmour and so many more.I've been fortunate, to see him live with many of these musicians. Each time, it just blows my mind, how he agelessly morphs into each band, musically as well as visually, as if he has always been a member. I first discovered him in 1989 in the James Jamerson, Shadows of Motown training book and cd. (back then it was a cassette) - His teaching of For Once In My Life / I Second That Emotion and (I Know) I'm Losing You kept me woodshedding for days. So, in addition to being a great player, I also think he is a great teacher!

@xOptix78 7 жыл бұрын

I'd say Robert Trujillo. I've watched some videos of this guy performing live and instantly NEEDED to pick up my bass and play afterward. He's an absolute machine, and while I'm not necessarily a fan of the more modern stuff that Metallica has done, I'm a fan of Trujillo and what he brings to the band.

Chris Wolstenholme would be a great choice. Easily the most underrated but arguably in the longer term, most influential part of Muse. He's been around long enough to be an authority but at the same time is great bridge between previous decades and a 21st Century style. He's taken inspiration from great earlier bassists and yet has his own innovative style that's highly relevant to heavier (but not quite into metal levels of heavy etc) contemporary players who have an effects-heavy sound and widen the range of their tone and their role within a band. Also because I couldn't think of many other's who'd get so much use out of or be so appropriate for that Darkglass bass head!

Soooo many and each of them valuable. Any of them would be a plus :-)
