Sound the same to me.

I heard a slight increase in clarity in Alnico and a slightly deeper bottom on the neodymium but the difference is almost undetectable and would probably make just about zero difference in the grand scheme of things.

Thank you Ivan!

Neo more compressed and even. Alnico has a low mid pokey character, sounds like I can hear the finger/pick stroke more. Neo:Alnico / Modern:vintage to my ears, both are great. Would be awesome to hear how they blend with rear pickup. Great bass playing and sound quality!

I preferred the Alnico, but the difference is so subtle, I probably couldn't tell the difference once it's in the mix.

The Neo' pickups may lack top end but they have a high-mid presence and sound faster-response than the Alnico. I prefer the Alnico pickup (probably because I like a classic sounding P Bass and these surprised me at how close they sound to that) and with their low mid bump probably sit in a mix in the same great way that a P does. Superb playing as usual!

to me, the growliness on the open string is more pronounced in the Alnico, and has a more modern vibe. I think either set of pickups is fine. I had a 2009 Dingwall AB Z test mule with the first version of the neo P pickup, and thought it sound really good. The Alnicos bring the P tone into today's vibe. Very cool

I did like the alnico more, more high end detail which I prefer. Both sound great tho.

Lovely pedal! Y tocar en Doctor Krapula debe de ser muy divertido!

Sorry for the camera not focusing properly while I was playing 😅 I accidentally moved the focus point 😬

This is one of the best videos ever! VERY well done!

What are your thoughts on running these two parallel? Having the high frequencies run through the drive while keeping the octave pedal on the lower frequencies. In my experience, drive just zaps your low end. I think the Boss LS-2 would work well for this.

Muy buen video bro! Aprendí mucho gracias a tus explicaciones,me gustaría verlo en español también para no perderme nada jaja. Saludos.

I’m getting the 5 string version in a few weeks. I cant wait.

Those are some super versatile tones you can get out of those pickups. I'm guessing that they are different from the Combustion and NG pickups? These really do the Jazz sound really convincingly!

dudeee, shredding 🙌🏽🔥🙌🏽

What is your preferred string height?

Greast job on this demo, got a Cali76 a while back and this helped me more than the manufacturer's videos.

track at 2:18 reminded me of Between The buried and Me, specifically the Alaska album. very nice tone dude

Just bought 1 today 😮. Plays itself . I got the same one . So fun ,great action,"I got lucky" yeah , mabye to much magic, knobs switches, bs had to tweak the neck , but damn I like it . Cool channel 😎.

@IvanBassist What spectrum analyzer are you using in this video ?

Hello, I am interested in purchasing electronic tube front stage pedals and have set my sights on EBS ValveDrive DI and Olympic MkIIIS. I am not concerned with IR function, only the taste of the front stage amplifier. I would like to hear your advice

Absolutely spot on. That’s pretty much the sounds I use and I’m never missing in the PA mix. When I started trying to find out why I was so lost in mixes I found isolated bass tracks from famous artists and songs. I was shocked to find that most of them had some sort of distortion or overdrive in them. Yet in the full mix I never noticed that. When I started copying they sounds, I didn’t particularly like them but when I heard recordings from our live shows I was gob smacked. Great informative video 👍

making that Dingwall all “greasy”…uh hit me….hey!!!!

Which will be better now this one or from universal audio?

thanks Ivan, your video deserve more like and viewa!

Great video! I don't gig very often and frequently don't have an opportunity for a sound check. (And I have listened to live recordings and the sound guy is not helping me out.) I am going to try turning down bass and turning up mids. However, when one is coming up with sounds (using pedals) I create them to sound good (i.e. not in a band setting). However, these may not work in a mix. I wonder if one should apply an EQ with pre-determined settings to turn a bass tone that sounds good on its own into one that sounds good in a live mix?

🔥

wahnsinn, deine artikluation!

Put one before and one after any effects pedal that changes or alters the tone you are trying to achieve say for example put one also after your EQ.

Never tried the power dampening on LOW ... thats what i came to see

What do you think about the standard version vs the new one?

I'm impressed, you nailed it!!! Looking forward to watching more of your "real world" base tutorials.

Thank you for this video, I'm struggling to find the perfect eq/tone for live gigs (how they can sound on PA, headphones, etc). thanks!

Hola Iván! Sabes cómo trata el técnico de sonido tu bajo en la P.A en relación a la EQ y compresión? Saludos!

Thanks for the video. Caveman sounds better in the mix (IMHO). Noble is kinda getting lost especially in the rock song demo. I would prefer Caveman for the current settings you've made.

How does this compare to the IBANEZ SRMS625EX?

I use the same "pedalboard thought" in my HX Stomp. Great video as always and we are looking forward to seeing that video about how you use the quad cortex in the tour 😁

All good tones, i play pop and skate punk and I would pick #1 because of the little brightness on top 👍

Thank you for the video. I think I have slowly learned about the points you make towards the end.

Very interesting! If you haven’t made a video about your In-ears it would be interesting to know what you are using.

really learning a lot from you. thank you and keep up the good work. really love origin effects and cant live without it

👏👏👏

Makes sense, i rarley play on big stages, so I tend to push my low end. When i played a fest recently i was wondering why my bass sounded so boomy and muddy in the mix. The sound man made it work but i definitely noticed it. This was super helpful.

Very interesting. Now I know why my bedroom sound has no presence when I play with the band.

Super cool! Ivan got me gassing hard for a Quad Cortex.

Sounds massive lol

It dippends always in the preference sound of engineer. 😊 Specialy in foh.

I have 3 of these, 2 orange, 1 Red. I also have 20 or so other basses mainly fenders and I only play my Mezzo's now! Super scale length @ 32" so comfortable and easy to play, great sounds as you just heard. Anyone want 20 Fenders?

Great format for this demo. The side by side comparison with similar riffs is super helpful.
