Something about the bass: this is more than 20 years old bass from ex Czechoslovakia. I have bought it six years ago, repaired and repainted. I spent for bass 200 €, reconstruction costed 100 €. The strings are metal Thomastik medium. I usually used shadow pick-up, later KKK rockabilly pick-up with preamp.
On that clip I had been playing bass for a 1,5 year, so I know its not perfect, but ... Otherwise, I`m a drummer in Slovenian rockabilly`n`roll band EightBomb (check it!)
@TheAlmightyrat There's a number of ways you can do this.There are microphones specially made for the upright bass, but you can mount a microphone in front of the sound holes too. But I take the cheap way out and take a regular microphone and wrap a piece of foam around it and tape it around the open end. Then, I just plug it in and stick it in the bottom between the saddle and the body. And it works great! ;)
@DickHead69able Want to see another impression of you? "Hey, I'm DickHead, and someone thinks I'm being a whiny douche, so they must be trolling! 'Cause no one would think a whiny douche like me is a whiny douche, would they? Yeah, they HAVE to be trolling to disagree with me. I'm so awesome! Even my small dick is great!"
@TheAlmightyrat All depends what sound your looking for. Anything will work really, ive made a microphone out of a speaker and placed it in the sound hole of my guitar once.
Iv been playing standard bass for years , I want to start stand up bass finally to play Psychobilly , are these techniques played here from years of practice or is it something I can pick up in a month or soe , stupid question I know but Im still curious
i slapped my bitch dis mornin just like that, i actually showed her da video today and she was like, " oh shit babe, you slapped me like dat da other day remember?
@silentviolence58 Sure you did, I bet you're actually some childish Idiot, you don't have a "Bitch", you haven't even had a GF ever, I bet, now shut the fuck up.
