T-40 vs. 4003 playing reggae! (Bob Marley's "Is This Love" bassline)

[dealdesign0001]

I like the video player on "reggaelinx website"better, it allows you to zoom in and play in slow motion. Plus they allow you to play your own playlist. You guys should check it out.

HOLA EXCELENTE VIDEO, ME FACILITASTE MUCHO EL TRABAJO, ME GUSTO POR CIERTO MAS EL SONIDO EN EL RIC AUNQUE LA FORMA EN COMO MANEJASTE LA TECNICA CON EL PEAVEY TAMBIEN LE HIZO SONAR MUY BIEN PARA EL REGGAE, AUN ASI AMBOS TIENEN UN SONIDO VINTAGE Y SON BUENA OPCION PARA TOCAR ROLAS DE MARLEY, SALUDOS DESDE MEXICO.

[PFLOYDB]

hey que tal. toka usted magnifico y ademas toka las canciones que me gustan. perfeito. estaria perfeito si tocara una cancion de pink floyd que se llama ONE OF THIS DAYS.

[silveroon009]

coud you do a video playing both basses with a pick please??

[guitarkaya17]

Love this song's Bass Line:)

[TheGonzaloDiaz]

viendo q el peavey es MUCHO mas varato, diria q es el mejor asta q puedas comprar un Rickenbacker.

seeing that the peavey is MUCH more affordable, i'd say that its the best untill you can afford a Rickenbacker.

Thumb up if you agree.

[zarigunn]

clearly the rickebacker sounds most beautifull

[JulianCaraxG]

Muy bueno, en mi caso me gusta más el T-40 , pero lo que más me gusta es la técnica de palm mute que utilizas ,, Grácias de todo corazón y espero que subas más vídeos ,, saludos desde España 

[Alvabass]

@JulianCaraxG: Muchísimas gracias por tan amable comentario. Un saludo.

[garyfalzone]

can you please please let me know what software (assuming you use a computer) to record what you do on youtube? (By the way, great playing). I have been trying with no luck for months now. I know my way around a PC, so, I dont need detailed instructions. Just, what software is being used. Thanks so much.

[Alvabass]

@garyfalzone: Thank you so much for your kind comment! I use either Adobe Audition or Sony Sound Forge to record the audio track for my videos. I have my bass amp plugged to my sound card while playing and I replace the ambient audio track from my camera with the direct-from-amp audio track. For video editing I use Sony Vegas Pro.

Let me know if you need further info. Thank you again! :=)

[Aspartamebraintumor]

The t40 wins this round.

[iPeaceiLove]

one love

[O2breather1975]

yeahhh maaaan! congrats dude! i´m a bassplayer too and i played that song for several years! only ear! its my lema!! so, anyway ...i was right, that´s the way to play that marvelous song...best regards from mexico. by the way..i like more t-40 sound.

[brixtbass]

For me it's the T-40.

Nice playing by the way :-)

[iamasmodai]

Love the T-40. It can do a Ric sound but the Ric can't do a T-40 one.

[mmarub]

ricken - to my mind dry sound

T40 - Dream)))

[KaduCasanova]

sinceramente o timbre eu não curti...

[mazatleco17]

Bastante bueno, saludos desde California.

[LaboratorioDexter182]

Buenísimo.

En mi caso, prefiero más el sonido que sacas con Palm-mutting en el Peavey.

Saludos y gracias por tus videos.

[MileSeventySeven]

well done

[bremexperience]

what's the tone knobs position?

[Alvabass]

Thank you for your comments! In this video, the T-40 has all knobs fully open, with the exception of the tone knob for the bridge pickup (at 7). The Ric also has everything at maximum minus the neck pickup volume, which is slightly rolled off.

[bremexperience]

i'm playing rocksteady and reggae with my t-40! Glad I'm not the only one hehe

[aJazzcat]

Bob Marley is mah hero ^^

personally, i'm very biased towards Rics, but an average listener probably wouldn't distinguish between the two.

[bassmanedd]

Lovely tone on both basses,

I personally prefer the T-40 i think, seems a little more defined to me.

Great work.

[then00best]

your peavey has a bassier, and slightly muddier sound, while the ric is mode defined and mid punchy (but the t40 is punchy too)

doesn't really matter to anyone other than bass players though heh

[then00best]

your peavey sounds fantastic
