Wow, very nice job and you are awesome player, i loved the sound.
I have the same bass, and i would like to do almost the same that you did, but i don't know how to do it exactly if you know a good site where can i see some wiring, tips just send to me, thank you
Very nice clips, I'm 100% with you about those pickups - they have a very recognizable mid-high voicing. Love your playing, thanx for taking the time to put this video together :-)
Hey I need this!!! How do i contact you??? Hope u can help me out...i play a greg benette bass and i need to hook up my pick ups yo...pls help me out. hit me up on itaboi5587@yahoo.com
Hey man love the skills and love the sound. Love it so much I ordered the same smiths, aguilar preamp, mid switch, 2 series/paralell switches. Im getting the preamp prewired from bestbassgear.I only have 1 problem. Mr Smith doesnt supply wiring diagrams for the pups. It would be a blessing if you could give me hand with some schematics.Thanks. And keep those awesome vids coming!
Hey man love the skills and love the sound. Love it so much i have ordered the exact set up. With the smiths, mid switch, two series parallel switches, and aguilar preamp. The only thing is Mr. Smith doesnt give wiring diagrams for the pups. But im getting the preamp prewired. Just wondering how to hook it up. And keep the awesome vids coming!
ok man at the end witch pups sound better with the aguilar obp3 preamp? have tried other preamps? other pups? single coil perhaps? so you'd recomend a cheap bass and customize it? in you're opinion do you feel happy with the brice bass after the mods?
which brand ok pickup sounds better in your view between the Smiths and Barts? I have a Ken Smith bass and it sounds sweet and thinking about doing a new custom bass project with bart pickups and aguilar obp3 pre.
@mac2damax Kind of depends on personal preference. Barts to me are hit or miss. Those split coils are very nice though. The smiths offer a nice tone with a very unique character in the high end. They have more of a burp than a splat that is assosiated with fenders.
dude you should be on somebody's record. you are one sick dude. i have watched all your videos and seen how you have progressed. It has inspired me to keep playing.
@knightmayorz Im looking to order the Brice Z6 from rondo. im going to get the dude from buzzards to set it up. Could you shoot more vids with your brice?
0:32... the lugs on the pickups backs... total Kent Armstrong work right there! I've never seen anyone else make pickups like that. Not quite as handy as EMG's "quik-connect" system, but better than having fragile hard-wired leads that can break off inside the pickup assembly!
"The Bass Grimoire Complete" at 0:31.That book is "Gold" if you comprehend it! It literally took me years to fully understand the full book learning it on my own.
Ken will wire them at the shop for you. I declined because I didn't want top pay for the series/parallel switches, because I already had some. Just tell him how you want them. If you already ordered them without wiring then send a message cause it's a somewhat long process
I already ordered them, whatever info you can share with me will be fine and also can you tell me exactly what switches you used SPDT,DPDT on off on, on on, and where you bought them. Thanks keep playing for Christ
Bro i haven't even met you personally,but you are one of the rawest bass players i have ever heard. God bless you richly and continue the great work God has anointed you to do.
they sound dope! What happened to the Barts? If I remember right you working with a 6 string, if so I will buy them bad boys of you, 4real. Let me know how much you want for em. God Bless bro!
doc people are so worked up about names on the bass but truth be told its all about the sound...it can be a fisher price bass wit mtd gust.......lol.....keep puttin oklahoma on the map
