I love my Empress Compressor! I’d love to see how you use it and your settings! Do you keep the tone shaping switch neutral or use the EQ shapes?

Wow, this is a review I’ve been looking for so long…swamp ash body Wenge neck 5 string finger style 80s jam (rather than just slap or metal or blues in other videos). Thank you! There is a big difference btw the tones, Wenge has much more bottom, thick, fat. I think if change finger board to Indian rosewood on the Wenge one, may sound even warmer/better? 😊

Perfect cover. Your added galloping and other filler notes makes this bassline even more exciting and sexy. 20/10

This song is a bass fest. Nice job.

Wrong

That bass sounds great

Do you have any tabs up for this song?

It’s been such a long time since we’ve seen this bass. I’m glad to see you bringing it back out.

Sugoi desu ne

Great tone, great playing!

Hi there! did you need another preamp or boost the gain of the interface?

Awesome !!!

My all-time song by my all-time favorite band. Instantly subscribed. Thank you Joe!

Hell yeah! Great tone man. Thank you.

That tone is to die for! Great job on the cover!!!!

Couple of wrong notes here and there...bass sound is super close tho

How does this guy not have more subscribers?

This myth runs real deep I see

That's THE bass cover, using Geddy's technique. Supercool!

This was very interesting! I agree, I feel like the maple sounded better and more "Geddy" than the Wenge when clean-ish, but I liked the Wenge better distorted. Although they both sounded awesome and I would probably choose based on appearance really! 😄

My vote goes to Wenge, so nice high mid chime without too much of anything 🤌🏻 Awesome comparison man!

Love that maple overall and it really cuts through, although there's a few spots down low where I think the tone of the wenge is pure bliss. Really cool vid!! I would also like to see a vid on that compressor.

I noticed my ebony neck is softer when compared to my maple neck bass. My fingers don't feel as fatigued playing my ebony fingerboard

Loved the maple one! Now for the ultimate test, unbolt the necks and swap them 😂

I prefer Ebony, so Wenge is closer to what I like.

I tend to care less and less about these small tonal differences as of late. Your 1972 Fender Jazz sounds so good I want to steal it. But then on some of the covers you're using a Strandberg, and it sounds equally fantastic (so do your Saito basses). In the end, it's all about your technique and feel of the music. (But yeah, maple neck winz 4sure).

Maple neck win💪👍💥

between 4:12 and 4:13 shows me the master you truly are

Very nice!!!!

That was amazing.

how did you get that tone?

Outstanding!

I've a really bad rush habit and had my fix for the day.... thank you

Top player this man .love this rush track.always lifts me.

That was awesome ❤❤❤

Damn, Joe brings the tone.

Wow, that tooone! Thanks for introducing this band to me, it has an Arch Echo x Sithu Aye vibe I'm really digging. I've been using Quadbass to great success, if you want to see some use for electronic tones check out the recent "Breakdown" videos on my channel, each has a little section dedicated to bass and Quadbass by extent! 💛

Perfect

Big fan of this album and his last one. Track sounds great!

Simply beautiful, and your playing is impeccable. Thanks Joe for sharing this.

Bravo, awesome, good job, good song 😊

Got to have my rush fix for today.... Excellent 👌👍

nice!!!!

Nice play! Awesome!

Love it!

Nicely done! I love the drive and flow of this song. Very cool that you seem to use the right hand technique that Geddy uses... although I am not sure I know all that is involved there - is it always just the index finger?

satisfying

Muito bom! Parabéns!
