[Radyiu1]

[MsKorv]

is the original slapping?

[Edensadventures]

@MsKorv

No I did it to get a different tone out of my bass.

[rockstar100ify]

@Edensadventures

slapping is the right way i looked it up



[julioxd9]

is this song really made slapping or it's your way to play?

[Edensadventures]

No I did it to get a different tone out of my bass.

[bassweed94]

[brischwitz]

[Edensadventures]

@brischwitz

Stock strings in this video!

But now I use Fenders :)

[brischwitz]

hey man i love ur tone. wat typeof amp u usin?

[Edensadventures]

@brischwitz

It's a Fender Rumble 100 - the one with the 15 speaker :)

[misfrone]

do you change the duncan designed original pickups??

[Edensadventures]

@misfrone

No they are stock

[xXNSquaredXx]

@Edensadventures What pickups are they please even if they are stock what are they actually called?

[Edensadventures]

@xXNSquaredXx

Hi they're the stock pickups in the Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass (That's the model, there's only 1) and they are designed by Seimour Duncan. As to actual pickup model names, I'm unsure sorry.

[xXNSquaredXx]

@Edensadventures Thanks anyways. I was wondering because I have been playing bass for a long time and I am teaching my brother. He bought a Squire 5 string Jazz bass the pickups suck and I was thinking about getting them replaced and the pickups on your bass sound really good.

[Contrabando5cordas]

it sounds great, I guess people already said, but in original recording flea doesn´t slap. what doesn´t mean you can slap on this!!! I´ll subscribe, please check my videos if you have time. greetings from Brazil.

[Edensadventures]

@Contrabando5cordas

Ya, I just like the tone :)

[maniachris]

I have this bass, it rocks!

So does this song, which i'm learning now :)

[sayhoshin]

3:41 give it away :)

[sayhoshin]

dude you rock :)

[johngarza023]

would this bass be small for a 6'2 200lb sized guy .....

[Edensadventures]

@johngarza023

I wouldn't think so. It's made to the same size as the old Jazz basses, so go try out any fender jazz bass and you'll know for sure. I personally think it would be fine

[6y298]

@johngarza023 Heck no, especially since the thing weighs 10+ lbs, which is on the heavy side for a 4 string.

[Edensadventures]

@6y298

Yes I failed to mention that. This bass is very heavy in comparison to other basses I've played.

I personally love that.. a bit of weight in an instrument gives a "sturdy" feel.

[6y298]

@Edensadventures I agree. I do see though that for a very long set a lighter instrument can be a plus. Still, though the maple body is heavyish, as you've clearly shown it helps to make for a crystal clear tone with lots of bottom too. If I didn't already own one your vid would have convinced me - thanks for posting.

[aquaman1227]

@johngarza023 Get it bro, I'm 6' 4" and i'm playing the same instrument, great for when your starting off and once you start getting good.

[vectron12]

you pretty much just finalized my choice for my second bass

[lvgordo]

nice

[connerspencern]

Awesome! I have that exact same bass! IT ROCKS!

[Edensadventures]

@connerspencern

Excelent for a Squier isn't it!!

[connerspencern]

@Edensadventures It sure is.

[paleceumacolneta]

I think u already know..anyway, there's no slapping on SMK . Nice cover mate. cu.

[Edensadventures]

@paleceumacolneta

Yep, it's just to get some funk and extra tone :)

[paleceumacolneta]

@Edensadventures wich strings do u use? Flat or roundwounds ???? And what pickup do u use??? tks ;]

[Edensadventures]

@paleceumacolneta

Fender Round Wounds. I tried the flats and hated their tone.

They are Seimor Duncan pickups. They come stock in the Squier Vintage Modified jazz model.

:)

[paleceumacolneta]

@Edensadventures Do you think a humbucker or two single coils would make it sound more like Flea's tone?

[Edensadventures]

@paleceumacolneta

Hmm I'm not 100% sure. I was watching Live at Slane Castle the other day and I think his basses had humbuckers in there. But if you get a good set of single coils (Like Fenders or Seiymor Duncans) and pair them with a quality amp, then you'll be able to get his tone pretty easy. As a guitarist, my opinion on bass tones is that they don't vary enough so any quality pickup and amp combination with emulate any bass tone you want.

[paleceumacolneta]

@Edensadventures tks bro. Really helped me a lot ;]

[FunkyAxl11]

nice bass sound!

[almostskate23]

Nice cover, whats your EQ set to on your amp?

[Edensadventures]

@almostskate23

I don't have the rumble 100 with me anymore. But from memory, I had the bass at about 11-1, low mid 10-11, high mid 12-2:30, treble 12-3. They are all in clock face dials, not Spinal Tap 1-11. I also think there's a mid boost button or soething similar?? I had that turned off.

Hope this helps!

[almostskate23]

@Edensadventures Ok, thanks :D

[assassinche]

nice cover xD bass name??

[Edensadventures]

@assassinche

Bass name? hmmm... Josh.

I assume you mean the model.. It's a Fender Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass. I believe it's a new run. Made to the old specs of the Fender Jazz Basses with Seymor Duncan pickups to give it a nicer poppy sound.

[assassinche]

@Edensadventures hmmm nice i have the rickenbacker bass and your is so good and nice... xD

[Edensadventures]

@assassinche

Pretty good for $400 AUD!!

[xPaTx2703]

very nice playing man!

[Edensadventures]

Thank you!

[bcarman14]

nice man, wat a great song

[xLetsxGetxLuckyx]

what setting is your rumble on?

please let me know!!!

[Edensadventures]

Umm!!!! I don't have the rumble with me anymore. But from memory, I had the bass at about 11-1, low mid 10-11, high mid 12-2:30, treble 12-3. They are all in clock face dials, not Spinal Tap 1-11. I also think there's a mid boost button or soething similar?? I had that turned off.

Hope this helps!

[ivanrankarm]

sounds fucking hardcore!!

[Edensadventures]

Wouldn't normally think a Squier could do that eh?

[Nickthebassist01]

Killer sound and playing dude. What amp is it?

[Edensadventures]

Thanks mate. It's a Fender Rumble 100. The upright one with a single 15" speaker.

[fredericmartin91]

sorry but mistakes on the end of the intro :

it ends on : D, E and not C, D

G ------7-9....

but well

[Edensadventures]

Oh I hadn't ever noticed that before but listening to the track and playing it with the D and E is accurate.

However I don't think theres any harm done, it's still a cool riff even with the C, D.. in my opinion anyway.

[fredericmartin91]

@Edensadventures anyway, you play it well, and I like it 'cause I will receive my own Squier modified vintage jazz bass soon :D and i see that it sounds very well :D

[Edensadventures]

Man... it's a beautiful bass for funky stuff. I love it so much. However I've put flatwound strings on it and I'm very very dissapointed... when you replace the strings, totally stick with the round wound

[fredericmartin91]

So you prefer the sounds of the original strings ?? (Fender strings)

[Edensadventures]

Yea, if you can find out what the stock strings are on these basses, get some more of them.

I'm going to try out some Fender Super Bass Round Wound strings soon. Hopefully they sound like the first set.

Who knows though.. try out some flat wounds and see if they feel nice

[fredericmartin91]

Sorry to flood your video like that ^^

The original strings are :

FENDER 7250ML

Bass Guitar Strings Set - nickel plated steel, roundwound. Gauges: 045-065-080-100

You should try this one if you want to get the first sound you had when you played your brand new bass ;-)

[Edensadventures]

no worries. I just got a set of that model in 45-105. So it will be perfect!

[FrettiYeti]

that has a really good tone... are you going direct out of the amp with the bass or is that mic'd or like the cam mic... sounds good

[Edensadventures]

I have the bass amp (Fender Rumble 100) just below the camera and a bit off to the side and then the camera is recording all the audio (the song is played through a stereo with tower speakers on either side of the camera)

Thanks!

[BSinatra]

I'm getting this same rig, bass and amp soon. I was checking it out online. I wanted to say I dig the ukulele on the couch and the sewing machine! 5-stars

[Edensadventures]

Very good! haha the ukelele and sewing machine are my greatest inspirations

[medusashit]

sexy as shit.

[Edensadventures]

Very much so!

[machinsky108]

hey dude nice cover!

ur bass sounds nice -might i ask what are you playing it through?

thx!

[Edensadventures]

Thanks!

Its a Fender Rumble 100. It's the verticle style with one huge speaker rather than the horizontal style that has 2 smaller speakers.

Ede
