2011 NAMM Show Low End and Benavente Basses Overview

[widepass]

Cool basses!

By the way do you drink much coffee?

[caesarbass]

@widepass YES!!!!

[JHL]

Thanks for the video, but I'd like to hear more fingerstyle playing. Since most gigs I do I play fingerstyle maybe 99% of the time, it'd be appreciated to get to hear more of the fingerstyle sound. Maybe playing a bit with bridge pup only, both and the neck only. Just a thought.

[caesarbass]

@JHL Thanks!! I will take that in consideration. My other videos have a good variety of finger and slap. I just always get slap happy when I have a Jazz bass in my hands!! hahaha!!!!

What bass is being played on the intro song? Very nice warm punchy tone. What ever bass that is you should demo it.

[caesarbass]

@noinwe Thanks!! I used my Lakland 4-94, it was made in 1996....nice and OLD!! Haha!!

[noinwe]

@caesarbass Whats your secret? I have the Lakland 5502 & that is the sound that I am trying to get. What strings did & do you use & do you have the Barts? if so what frequency setting on your preamp do you have it on. I currently have mine set to 250. Need your help!

[caesarbass]

@noinwe I promise...I have no secret!! Haha!! My Lakland is an older model with no mid freq selector, bartolini pre amp and pick ups, I also use DR strings (marcus miller sig). I usually have the rear pick up on with both coils and the pick up pan knob right in the center, and I usually boost the bass and mid just a little. Hope this helps.

The box elder LEJ plays real nice. Played before Brian shipped out.
