COLD SWEAT Bass Jam (Ken Smith Design KSD 705)

[MattyTheTurner]

Dude, groovy! I'm actually looking into the same bass, only the 4 string version. How does this bass play for you? I love the growly tone you're getting there - that's actually the tone I want to get out of it. Could you tell me the settings on the amp you're using, or is it a particular amp that gets you that growl? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just trying to get some info and you really sound like you know what you're doing!

[ntrn123]

Man you look just like Badger from "Breaking Bad"! Great Playing and sound though Badge...

[MattyTheTurner]

@ntrn123 Haha, he does. I NEED YOU TO DO ME A SOLID, BRAH

[bassplayer9432]

nice !

[thegliphic]

Too robotic and on the beat....you gotta play catch up with that last run or it sounds like the Terminator learning TAB.... :P

[bassmanvic]

Hey bro thats a sweet sounding bass, did you order it or picked it up at a local music store. and are you using any pedal effects . man it sound really clear you can groove LOL peace !

[cantobass]

Great Playing !! Great Sound !! KSD is best bass!!

[polishpirate123]

I saw this bass on ebay in all black for 200$

just cuz the moron who owned it had a missing tuner head.

He shipped the bass with the string tied into the tuning whole.

-_-

[manuurioste]

where do y get the bass tabs help

[signinbill]

ive been playing guitar for 1year, and recently i picked up my brothers bass and i cant put it down :)

[jazzbassmeister]

For those of you who are worried about KSD basses the distribution has been taken over by D'Andrea and there are no problems obtaining customer service. I stupidly loaned out my one and got a replacement neck from D'Andrea within 48hrs from the US to the UK.. A sweet sounding Jazz bass, it out performs many J basses in the funk department. My main axe.

[auston5001]

one of the reasons i play bass instead of guitar its my believe that its got a more relaxing,funkier,better,groovi­er,smooth sound plus theres more picking styles

[labeguiz]

hello, excellent sound and you play very good, I am about to buy bass lakland 5501 because it has very good neck, that so it is the neck of ksd? perhaps then it changes of opinion and it buys ksd.

looking forward to hearing from you

[sweetnssssssssssss]

sweetnsssssssssssssssssssssss

[tcelectronic]

Best wishes,

[ELFKRUNCH]

[cornycor]

Aaah, sounds like Francis Prestia... Extremely cool!

[BigSima6]

that was hot.

[thuglordgthang]

this is tight! i wana get a bass now

[Parktns02]

Dope as hell

[Parktns02]

Those verse fills are hot! Easily the best cold sweat groove I've heard...i am gonna try and figure out those 2 verse fills you did...the 1st fill sounds like 2 walk ups and sort of muted hammer on.

[shaydishay]

very nice bro. got the same bass what strings do you use

[uzebcaron]

Thanks man.

I'm using DR-Strings Hi-Beams 45-125.

[gabdragon]

I really liked your groove at the end!!!

BTW Did you change the pick-ups?

[mryamahatrb6]

Uzbecron, I managed to squeeze my one in a Warwick gigbag

[spukymyk]

cool groove! love the tone! 5 stars =)

[Zombbg4]

Wow, amazing groove, amazing tone, amazing feel....very nice man. But what's with the scarf???

[SayDooDoo]

Funky playing dude. I recently bought a lefty KSD705. I love it too but it's big and heavy. Can't find a case that will fit it.

[uzebcaron]

Thanks!

You are right, the neck is chunky and it's a big and heavy bass. I'm facing the same problem with a case. Asked lots of companies, no one has a case that big. Brooklyn Gear, the company that distributes these basses, doesn't even respond to Emails. That sucks. I'm going on tour this fall and will travel by plane, so I think I need to custom order a case for big bucks. Or leave that bass at home and get a lighter, smaller one with a case? Not quite sure...

Greetings to Australia!

[andreasswarfeld]

great playing, bass sounds great

[abandcalledpain]

What's up man, that bass sounds great. Is everything stock on that bad boy or did you change the pickups and preamp?

[uzebcaron]

Thanks man!

Everything is stock on that bass. What you hear in the video is the pure sound of the bass with a little bit of compression. I play it in passive mode only cause I don't really like the sound of the preamp. Too boomy and clanky. I plan on installing an Audere preamp in the near future...

[abandcalledpain]

Thanks for the response. I also plan on putting in an Audere preamp. I had actually just got off their website when I first read your comment. Happy jamming....

[tonymtz1]

Were u able to install the Audere preamp, if so how'd it work? I'm trying to do the same on mine..

[TheMaskedHeroes]

Not bad, you might have something kid!

[damobassist]

nice playing but get into it a bit mate u dont have to jst sit there nd i like how u improvised a bit with cold sweat but sum of the main grovved sounded iffy also slappin very nice

[Lindybass]

in de minute 1:36 das istt hammer so ein geiler groove / du bist ein deutscher oder ?

fom lindybass :D

[mryamahatrb6]

KSD proto great bass guitars. I have one on order to add to my arsenal of other basses. Initially I was going to get a Fender but changed my mind after seeing and hearing the KSD.

[ibanezbasSR400]

Great job!! Cool sound!! Great playing!! Greetings & cheers Dude!!

[MarloweDK]

Fat sound in that bass! Nice playing too

[smoothie6ft3]

Sounds very similar to the bassline from Sweet Sweet Backs Badd Asss Song

[speedcrazy272000]

カッコいい～！！

ＺＯＯＭ　Ｂ２のセッティングを教えてください。

[moravianmusic]

This sounds very much like Reuben Wilson's "Orange Peel" from his Blue Mode album (Blue Note 1969). Check it out! Great playing, BTW.

[darknight7]

nice real clean

[bassmantrb6]

Excellent playing Florian. I think that you and Hollywood should be featured on the KSD website

[HendrikBass]

sounds good.

[020steed]

groovt sehr! attack an den richtigen stellen!schönes drum pattern! hut ab...

[Lindybass]

veryy cool groove man respect :D

[Ducksr1]

What a groove, thats so nice!!!!  Keep the vids coming Bro!!!

[basslabd]

Good sound finger style and slapping. Classic Jazz bass sound. Two words: RELAX and BREATH... Third thought, have fun!

BL

[Lindybass]

groove man

[MikeInTheValley]

Excellent. Warm tone with clarity. Not the "squeaky nylon string tone" that many beginners dial in trying to get midrange or escape the "mud". Your use of space on the James Brown groove and playing style is excellent.

[6stringDuke]

You just sold me that bass! That was clean, smooth and nothin less than soul music...very HOT!

[hollywood526]

Really nice groove, from smooth to FUNKY! Yeah! I like it1 I have a KSD 705 also, yours sounds great!

[subersibo]

nice sound and groove,keep it up

[PornFingers]

Awesome, Good work chief! I have that bass on order at the moment, Cant wait to get it in my hands.

PM me with your thoughts on the bass!
