This was unexpectedly good! It super clean. Your slaps aren't too dirty so you stay true to this smooth style you have here. Only thing I would change is to turn the drums down or the bass up.. You're too skilled to get drowned out by a drum loop (:
Can you tell me what Bartolini preamp and pickups do you have on it?
I'm asking bc I own one like yours (mine is a 6 str, though), but the electronics on it seem a bit dull for a Bartolini setup on a Tobias bass. I would appreciate your feedback very much!
That guy is no newbie! Who ever says he sucks is completely, entirely, fully ignorant about musical knowledge. If I was good like that on bass, I'd start my quest of success in the musical industry. Break a bone KingOfPain35!!
well, better than me. and it's good to see bassists that actually play bass, instead of just bassists who were guitarists that didnt think they were good enough.
very awesome. I dig what you dig with the two songs. I think it made them even groovier. Aside from the drums was everything done live (as in nothing prerecorded)? And how would you suggest working on double thumbing? Finally, pleeeeeeeease do a tutorial for Sex in the Pan, lol
Right, I'm pretty sure it's a Classic, but I've been wrong before. lol.
This bass is about 9 years old. The amazing thing about it, is that it was stolen from me, but I got it back 5 years later. I can never get rid of this bass now because it is the "Bass that came back home". haha
A friend, whom I had only ever met ONE time a year and a half earlier, bought it used from a music store.
One day, I just happened to be in this same music store and ran into him. We started talking shop and he mentioned he was selling a couple of basses on Ebay, an upright and a Tobias. I started telling about how I loved my zebra wood Tobias, but it had been stolen. He said, "Yeah, this one is zebra-wood too."
So I told him I was interested in maybe buying it. When I saw it, I knew. Old pictures that I had of it proved that it was mine, the fingerprint-like wood grain. I went ahead and bought it from him since I had gotten insurance money for it 5 years earlier. That was a pretty happy day.
Sound funky and kool ! Tell be what bass are you playing ? I am thinking of either buying a tobias killer b or a peavey cirrus this week online. Any suggestions ? What tone wood is used in your bass also ?
It is a Tobias Classic 5 Zebra wood. I can't remember the wood of the neck... I want to say bubinga, but it's probably something different.
I'm not completely certain, but I would probably go with the Killer B over the Cirrus, although the higher-end Cirrus basses are pretty nice. They sound a little like a Ken Smith.
it's a Tobias Classic with Zebrawood, I also have an Aguilar preamp in it. It originally cost $2400, but I managed to get it during a special sale for $1600. The bass was stolen from me a couple of years after I bought, but I managaed to get it back five years later by a total fluke. I love this bass.
i'm well learnin this one next. i've got classical thump and amazing grace so far (Y) proper cool. and i'm wanting sex your bass man =P it's proper nice. i spy bartolini's,=D very nice (Y)
Just drag your right hand index finger across all the strings while muting bottom stings and sliding down on the E string with your left. Makes for a nice percussive lead in which I overused here. ha.
It's alright, you gotta expect a bit of jealousy to surface from those that would hide their own weak skills behind the anonymity of the internet... and a completely empty cache of their own videos. What up?
is that a Tobias?
