12:37 omj! yes! that catching thing, oi :) also, just put Rotosound 77s on a 5 string, defreted Cort Curbow, my first time using these, they have notable texture, which is surprisingly not painful, and make audible scraping sounds when wanted :) the on-board EQ helps make them as "clangy" or "upright DB" sounding as one can within the given parameters/perimeters :):):) should this information be useful to someone :)

"It's so nice to see that you boys have a hobby" 🤣

Rics and reverse Thunderbirds are neck through.

Tokai made Bass VI copies called "Bottom Master".

I buy used mongrels, off the beaten path for the most part. With stories. I have an old Tokai Hardpuncher, a really cheap Epi Embassy Pro that's super fun and sounds fantastic. 81 and 85 Ibanez basses, 80 Aria Pro SB600, Hondo II Longhorn... Mostly pawn shoppy kind of stuff. I like their quirks and personality.

silent stage FTW !

Thanks for sharing. 💛

Just came across this episode two+ years after you shared it and this is one of the best you’ve ever shared. The topic on practice was great and would be awesome to have you guys revisit this topic.

This was probably great feedback for scott and Ian, he does great at laying out what makes their content great for the world.

Thanks guys, just saw this, always fun, l was missing 'the hang out' so l delved into older stuff l hadn't seen.

23:15. so grateful you said that.

Neither.

What a gracious Pro! Thanks Billy! 🤘

More Sharon

I bought a Squire p bass in 80s not long after I bought a Fender it wasn't as good I sold the Fender I later found out its a Japanese import It cost me £100 used I'm still playing it I've got other basses I still go back to the Squire its an 86

Don't look at the tag. Fenders find their owners. If you play 15 fender basses 5 from each level you may find they all play different. In that group, you may find the middle of the road is your sweet spot.

Thank you gentlemen. I had spent a good deal of time in the interwebs rabbit holes looking at gear: fretless bass (new pickups/caps/pots/etc.), flats vs round wound, my MTD 5er. I am listening back to the recordings I have of me in the hip band and what is my sound. What IS my sound ... is now my focus for the next little bit. Thank you.

Live by lists. If I have to do it text....

You guys need to have a look at Brubaker basses.

is that Pepto-Bismol pink?

E scalate lol...

5 String Preci (with flats), 5 String Stingray, 4 String Jazz, 4 String Fretless and an upright for bowing. A second Preci with rounds is also nice.

The D.I. thing is comes in the end as a matter of taste. Tried them all, and for an individual padal-based pedalboard, chose the Nordstrand (Rocket Surgeon) Starlifter, better EQ and faster response than the tube based famous ones. For my multiEFX based system (working cover band), the cheap Behringer Ultra DI-400 is super transparent.

Who needs the streets when you got SBL for all your street culture needs 😁

I think of Devo... Whip it, whip it good.

Billy has always been my hero. Bless him❤

Would appreciate time marks.

Hahaha, had to look at the transcript, every paragraph has Shaz doing the American thing... at least three unnecessary "like"s. So noticeable if you're not young :-) "never used to double book and now I feel like I go into every day with like the fear of like oh oh God I feel like I D"

I was one of the musos that was part of that community hanging at the Wardrobe, and the Hi-Fi too, after and around gigs. So special to revisit that and listening to how insane this whole journey has been for Scott and team.

When i practice the studio we use has a svt with an 8x10. I hate going back to my amp after that but no way im fitti g a 8 x10 in my hatchback

Chops literally don’t matter for bass

Lol, it was 1976 i ordered a P bass style natural finish block neck inlays, i think it was around $89. Six months later s band i joined played house of the rising son , and TNT, in my sophmore talent contest, we won second place, man i was on cloud 9 for weeks

I love you guys!

#120_Cool🇺🇸🇮🇱✝️

I use two 2×10s , that makes it first, easier to carry, does daisy chaining them sound different than a 4×10 ? I don't know

It's cool to have bassists of different calibers to "Internet" hang with. I'm not great but dabbling and improving. Love watching you guys. I learned so long ago with a friend and listening to the Violent Femmes. 😅

Recently became visually impaired,found this looking for more verbal lessons. I dig the podcast 🤘🏻

Lad bass

Geddy, on the bass on the vox on the keys on the bass pedals

K, don't forget King Crimson, the great Tony Levin

Consistancy!!

Camera work suck bro LOL

Amos is soooo good!

You know what I like? Each string having its own color silk - SLOWOUNDS for the win! Wish I could find another set like that

My personal nightmare was the Yamaha RBX375. Massive, thick unadjustable neck that had a wrong mount angle (a manufacture defect), the sound that easily losts in mix.. Now I think I should have bought 4 stringed Squier Jazz, but what is done is done ) I sold it and bought a MM Stingray 5, It was a huge contrast.

I got an open box Spector performer 5 for $400 red metallic... I really don't need another bass... it came with medium string and passive pickups... it literally vibrates and sits in the mix but can cut.

Some ol' fender/Squier MIJ from end of 70/80 are to consider. They sounds and feel super great (sometimes, they re way better well made than the made in US from those area) and are in the 800 - 1500 $$$ range!

Sorry, but too long bla bla bla

Fodera will showcase how bad a player you are and not mask it. Amazing instruments and worth every penny.
