Hi @@TonyShep65 Thanks for the message and great to hear from you! Thanks for sharing the vid on basschat, very kind! I’m gonna do a few more of these type o’ vids yeah. My next one will be a ‘mini-board roundup’ kinda thing, and then I’m going to look at a more affordable way to put a pro-sounding doublers board together. Anyway, yes I remember that bass, it was a good un! One of those ‘why did I let that one go’ basses! 😆

Hi@@mikevonhohenstein5587 Ha, yeah a few people have actually! I’m probably a fair bit shorter than him tho! 😆

Hello the bass monster! Thanks for the message. I’ve got a Stagg one. It’s pretty sturdy and didn’t cost hundreds of pounds! (Around £65 from what I remember - I’ve put a link in the description below). I tend to gaffa the ‘feet’ to the floor, just to be a bit ‘belt & braces’ about it all, but overall it seems pretty solid! Cheers, Ian

Hi @Pottsybasd76 Thanks for the kind words, most kind! And yes, I’ve put all the FX into the FX loop of the Caveman. I also use the tuner out from the Caveman to my tuner too. That way, whichever instrument is routed to the Caveman will be present at the tuner and the FX. It works great! Cheers, Ian

Hi @mojito6629 Good question! It’s still pretty phat, but does t have the ‘shimmer’. It’s a bit more - straight dirty n subby kinda thing.. Cheers, Ian

Hi@@dylannolan7454 Thanks for the kind words, it means a lot. Cheers, Ian

Hi@@ralfbobbybopp, thanks! Yes, Andy on guitar massively helped me out there!

Hi@@IAMIAM777, thanks for the question. I use Ultimate Ears IEMs. I have a model called SS which stands for Single Sided. I’m deaf in my right ear so it sums a stereo mix into one casing, all on the left side in my case.. Cheers, Ian

@@user-kb2zv5be8x 🤣🤣I’m sayin nothin! 😆

@@tallbass Thanks for that, most kind! 👍🏼

Hi Aaron, thanks for the message, I appreciate that! Yeah, I figure with such positivity coming my way, the least I can do is reply to the messages properly. Thanks again, Ian 👍🏼

Hi igorgodinho1279, really appreciate you taking the time to say that. Cheers and all the best to you 🫵🏼

Hi bks252! Thanks for the message. Shows like this are pretty heavily notated, and Hamilton especially so. Saying that, I’ll still try to bring it to life a bit with a few extra cheeky fills here and there. Thanks for subscribing, I’ll be putting more videos out this year, so watch this space! All the best, Ian

Hi Jeff, thanks for that. Glad it was useful, the pedalboard took a fair bit of headscratching & thinking to put together, but I think I’ve got there now! I took an output from my personal monitor system onstage (luckily it had a 2nd headphone out) into my little Zoom H4N recorder. The sound you hear on this video is that, with a little bit of the GoPro sound mixed in. Cheers, Ian

Very cool’. Well it sounds great. I have the same Zoom recorder but will have to play around with a different IEM. Mine is just a simple Xvive one but I’ll see if I can split the signal. Anyway, love the videos.

Hi Mark, thanks for the message. We’re all using an app called forScore on our iPads. It doesn’t track the music, but you can use a Bluetooth page turner pedal to turn the pages ‘hands free’ as it were. I use one by ‘AirTurn’ called a BT200. I bet your Reissue bass sounds great! Personally, the main reason I’d want to swap out the pickups would be to achieve a hum-cancelling setup. Companies like Aguilar & Nordstrand are great for this, and yes I’d probably go for a more vintage voiced set to keep things in keeping with the vibe of the instrument. The Nordstrand humcancellers with a V in the model are great. And lastly I’d definitely swap the pair out rather than just one, so that the volumes and tone is matched when you pan between them. Cheers, Ian

Hi Vodekz1534! Yes, what a pedal! Spencer has nailed it! Cheers, Ian

@@iankingbass I am getting mine Doom 2 tomorrow, I own Octavbre MKIII too and I can not have enough of it. It cut nicely in a live situation so musical

Very nice work; super sound

@@vodekz1534 Yes, totally agree! Enjoy the Doooooom! It’s brilliant 👍🏼

Hi Giuliomolteni, thanks for that! 👍🏼🙏🏼

Hi@Dad-Gad Thanks so much, really appreciate it. Cheers, Ian

Hey NordicBlunder, thanks for getting in touch! Yes the Aguilar octaver is a real gem, and you’re right about the tracking. I’m chuffed with the touch sensitivity of the synth sound. And yeah, I’m trying to reply to everyone, there’s been some really positive feedback & it’s only right I say thanks. Cheers, Ian

Hi @iDMaimon Thanks! It’s great fun to play with all those pedals kicked in, that’s for sure!

@iankingbass For similar synthy sound I use my Pigtronix Octava pedal (on fuzz mode and a little bit of octave up) + Bad Stone Phaser. That's also sounds great 🙌

@@iDMaimon Man I bet that sounds wicked! I love the phaser sound, on the more extreme settings it can sound quite envelope filter-y 👍🏼

Well that’s made my day! Thanks Will, great to hear from you 👍🏼

Hi there fromtheotherside! Thanks for the message, and yes I’m actually gonna make a follow up video talking about specific settings for the pedals I used. The synth sound and also the amazing Hamstead Subspace.. Watch this space, cheers, Ian

@@iankingbass Awesome - thanks. I spent all afternoon fiddling with my Octamiser and MXR chorus trying to copy your synth sound, but only had a Big Muff for the fuzz so perhaps your much better fuzz makes all the difference?

Hi Jonathan, thanks so much, really appreciate that. I wanted to show the equipment being used in context, so it’s great fun being able to plonk the GoPro next to me to capture the gig. Cheers, Ian

Hi Nick, we use an app called forScore which is essentially a PDF reader.. All the charts are organised into a set list in the app and I use a foot controller called Airturn BT200 to turn the pages.. Some tunes are heavily notated, whereas others are chord charts.. With gigs like this, where rehearsal time is minimal and mistakes are not really an option, it’s nice to have the charts in front of you! Cheers, Ian

@@iankingbass Ah thanks, that is interesting. I am not a pro, just a pub band person but having some kind of way of reminding myself would be very useful.

Hi Aidan, thanks for getting in touch, great to hear from you.. The drummer is Justin Shaw, such a top bloke to have on a gig like this, he holds the drum chair on MJ the musical in town.. The percussionist is Aisha Djidjelli who plays drums with the Hans Zimmer Live touring band.. She’s just won a couple of ‘Modern Drummer’ awards actually.. One for her work with Hans and the other for her playing on the film ‘Dune 2’.. She’s wicked! Cheers, Ian

@@iankingbass Thanks for your response Ian! I'll definitely be listening to them both more. 👍

Hi there, thanks.. Ha, yeah a few people have said that… I wish I had his cash! 😆

Hi Daniel, thanks for the question.. I’ve maybe done that once or twice in the past, but generally I’ll check my sounds at home, and then at the gig (on stage) and after that I’ll just trust that the sound person knows what to do with it out front… Hopefully it was ok!.. It’s never loud enough when I watch it on TV though!! 😆

@ I’m now going to watch it to compare. Haha. Happy new year.

@@danieljames5828Happy new year to you too! 👍🏼

Hi Gunsfreddy, that’s a great question. I would always choose the Caveman over the D.I. Output from an amp (even a high quality amp like an Aggie). The Caveman D.I. is … how do I put it… super awesomely posh in the extreme! Cheers, Ian

Hi Jeg1972, thanks for the message. The charts for this gig were a mixture of heavily notated ones and chord charts. The MD for this gig books people who’s playing he likes and he encourages us to bring something to each song, so even during the heavily written tunes I’ll add some cheekiness in. Usually it goes down well but there’ll be the occasion where I’m told to rein it in a bit! 😆 Cheers, Ian

Hi Danny, cheers! I don’t actually, I tend to keep compressors off my theatre boards so I can play very dynamically when needed. Saying that, I would like to check out the Origin one, and also Caveman make one which goes at the end of your signal chain which I like the idea of. Anyway, you’ve given me GAS now! Must not google… 😆 Cheers, Ian

Hi WallyBarnum, thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it! 👍🏼

Hi Char! Thanks for the message, and the kind words! I’ll definitely be doing some more detailed vids about settings/set-up in 2025 so watch this space! Cheers, Ian

Thanks very much!

Ha! 👍🏼

Hi Richard, thanks for the message. Yes, this Overwater has a scale length of 34.5”, so half an inch longer than a standard bass. Might not sound a lot, but it helps keep that low B nice n tight, and the tone across the 5 strings even 👍🏼 Cheers, Ian

Hi the Asrgrant, thanks for the message. That sound is the click track. Most of the gigs I do have click these days. It’s used for various reasons. In the theatre world it standardises tempos from one night to the next (none of that ‘It was a bit too slow tonight, can you speed it up a bit tomorrow please’ from the actors on stage!). On a gig like this Wembley one, it makes sure we sync up with the visuals on the big screen behind us. Also, there’s often a fair bit of track playing alongside the band, so we’ll need a click to keep in time with that. Everyone in the band is fed the click, and we can adjust the level so it’s comfortable 👍🏼Cheers, Ian

Ha ha, didn’t realise I was giving off Kryten vibes! 😆

Hi Wanmorgan, we were yes. Allen & Heath personal monitor systems next to us on stage so we can tweak away to our hearts content! 👍🏼

Thanks Grant, nice to meet a fellow Yamaha player! I feel like they’re a bit underrated those BBP ones.. They’re build like a tank and sound mega! Cheers, Ian

Cheers Harry, much appreciated 👍🏼

Hi acidbass, thanks so much for that! I’m definitely going to shoot an ‘explanation vid’ where I talk about the settings for the FX on this board. watch this space! Thanks again for the good vibes, Ian

Hey Mr.Wilson, thanks! In-ears for this gig, with personal monitor mixers so we can create our own mixes. Cheers, Ian

Hello TenFalconsMusic, ha! Yeah someone else said I look a bit like David Gilmour! 😆
