Hi Alfie (it's Ron in New Jersey aka The Greenman). This video is a huge service to beginners as you well know, it's a confusing landscape of basses, amps, cabinets & pedals out there and can be overwhelming. Heck, it's overwhelming for me 31+ yrs later. Great job & love this type of content, cheers!

No punk can afford a huge cab and a fender P, use whatever you can get your hands on that’s the best way to be a pop punk band

If you expanded to include 2000s/2010s pop punk bands like The Wonder Years, The Story So Far, Real Friends, etc. then you can expand the bass selection to include a single pickup Ernie Ball Stingray. I’d also say D’Addario strings are just as popular as Ernie Ball strings

In my opinion, ANY bass with a P-bass pickup or a PJ configuration will be good for punk/pop-punk. I use a Ibanez bass with a PJ configuration and I’m able to get the tones super easy

@tommcglone2867 2 ай бұрын

I use a short scale P-bass with 110 gauge roundwounds fed into an Ampeg through a Big Muff Pi Fuzz Pedal. I play with a Jim Dunlop USA Nylon 1mm pick. My tone is enormous and actually causes the buildings of smaller venues to literally shake when im playing

Great video apart from one thing that's bugging me a little bit. "Starter pack" *shows off 8x10 cabs and massive amp heads* lol 🤣😁😇 I'd probably recommend Fender Rumble combo amps for a starter pack - probably a 200w one if you can stretch to it and you're buying new. Not sure how good/suitable similar stuff from competitors is (Ampeg, etc) cos I've never tried them. Facebook marketplace/eBay/Craigslist/etc get a few bargains to look out for too. 🙂

Fair play Rust, although in my defence, this is a starter kit where money is not an option! I shall declare that next time. Perhaps a beginners or affordable starter kit would be better!

Just for the love of god dont so what i did and find a 360w 1x15 swr. Amp on one. Bass on 3. Still fills my house and can be heard from outside. I've never even gotten it to half volume cause it starts to get ridiculous playing next to my buddies marshal half stack

This was great, you really did see so many bassists from the genre play P-Basses. Alternatively, how about something like a starter kit for genres like alternative rock, metal (classic heavy metal, thrash, metalcore, etc.), indie, psychedelic rock or new wave?

I've broken all the rules. I'm playing a pop punk gig next week with: ESP F bass with (at least they're passive) EMGs Darkglass X Ultra straight to FOH (no amp) 1.0mm pick 110-50 strings (we're playing in D standard and drop C) I definitely will say after watching I'm going to dial distortion back, favour the neck pickup more and probably get a lighter pick.

Sick video!👌 I really appreciate you making videos like this where you make a affordable starter kit for a certain genre one genre I would love to see a star kit for (if it's at all economically possible?) is dub / reggae I love to be able to (on the cheap) play bass lines that have that deep smooth sub base to it if that's even at all possible with moderately cheap gear if the inspiration ever strikes I'd love to see it 👍✌️

I joined a punk/new wave covers band about 6 months ago and we include a couple of Green Day songs in the set. I have become a pick player, through necessity. I've struggled to find a pick size to suit all songs. For most songs I prefer thicker pick, maybe 1.5 -2mm Dunlop Gator but with the 40 bar bass widdle in 'Welcome to Paradise' I've had to come down in thickness, now using a .96mm. I'm not keen on picks thinner than that. And there is no way I'm lugging an SVT and fridge around. Class D and Barefaced cabs!

@WhichBass Жыл бұрын

Goddamn Williams 2mm picks! I couldn't possibly, I get too tired. I tend to usually boost the gain instead haha. With the SVT fridges, you're doing it wrong! Get the roadies to carry them 😜

Bouncing Souls signature bass tone comes from a Jazz Bass, and Mike Herrera from MXPX uses a Stingray! great basses, but the classic tone will always be the P bass.

I would like to see a video about strings! It was really hard to find good strings for my Yamaha TRBX305. I bought a set of Dean Markleys, but the B string was just too long, and if I wanted to put it on it would brake pretty quick. I didn't buy Ernie Balls, cuz I've heard they are also pretty long. Elixir was the winner for me, but after like a year I broke the B, than a few weeks later the E string, and now they just don't make them anymore. (Also, because if the inflation, it would cost me waaaay more than before) I searched up, and the bass came with D'Addarios, but man, after a few months they sound more dead than the elixirs after a year. Hope you will make a vid, cuz I'm damn curious on your take! :D

Great starter kit 💯 agree with. Funny thing is I was in a touring pop punk band a decade ago we tune to d standard. I used a 2004 fender American deluxe p bass (neck p only) and a sans amp rbi rack into a power amp and rack tuner into a ampeg svt 6/10 with 110-55 gauge strings and a blue thick Dunlop pick. guess you can say I was a rebellious punk with my gear 😂

Dee Dee was asked why he played a Precision and he said it was the only bass that could stand up to his punishment. If you ever saw the Ramones live, you know what that means. The truth is, if you've ever been on tour or gigged heavily, a good Fender (both P & J) just get the job done. They're amazingly durable and stand up to the road, they stay in tune, they take a beating, they're versatile, and they sit well in a mix. Leo got it right the first time. The other bonus ... if you don't have your soundman with you, most soundmen are familiar with mixing a Fender and you'll get a fair shake from someone who might not be familiar with your music or your sound. It's ubiquitous and engineers don't have to guess. If you work in the studio, same thing. Leave the Alembic home because they'll ask you for "that sound."

@WhichBass Жыл бұрын

Quite right Nania, I do agree. I've said many times in my videos Leo got it right first time. Glad we're on the same page!

Agree. My Jazz bass was my road dog for eight years or rehearsal, gigs and touring and it had the scars to prove it but the sound never changed...most reliable bass ever!

@Naniamania3 6 ай бұрын

@@RealEstateChris56 my Jazz bass was always first choice for road work. Durable, required little to no maintenance, 100% reliable, held tune consistently, perfect weight for long shows, less hand fatugue, familiar enough for all sound engineers, cuts through a band or can sit in the right spot, and incredibly versatile. You can add or subtract whatever you need if you understand how to work the volume and tone. You can get a J to sound like a P but you can’t a P to sound like a J. Incredible that Leo got it right in 1960 and makers have been chasing his original for decades.
