Thanks for watching, and the feedback. I have replaced the pickups on my BB734 with Dimarzio Relentless, and they have made a difference. Haven't done it to my 434 as I don't play it as much as the 734. I use Rotosound BS66 strings which have a heavy E and a lighter G. Give them a go and see what you think.

Hi. Thanks for letting me know. I have not used it myself but found it was a reason people "liked" it while I was researching. The external wifi is a better option anyway as you are likely to be able to get something with a greater range. Ours came with the Apple Airport Express as part of the package and I haven't bothered to swap it out. WHat are you using?

Thanks very much and thanks for watching.

@@VeitLehmann thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I’ve not used a 5 string but I think you are right about the neck being a little narrow for it. Having said that, people who have the BB735 rave about them.

Awesome!! Thanks for taking the time to watch. (And I'll take the bonus points 🙂)

TRBX are also great basses.

Absolutely. Default template. I haven't tried it but it should work without any changes.

@@twistieonbass Tried it tonight: flawless! Again, thanks for pointing out, i was about to buy the Nektar Pacer for this... saves me ± 200 euro 🤑

I've tried a few different configurations, but always seem to come back to that P-Bass style.

@@chucke9492 Fantastic!! Thanks for watching

Hey!! Thanks for watching. I completely agree. Are you using one?

@@dxurbina awesome. Another fantastic bass. I prefer the BB because of the pickup configuration, but the TRBX is on my wish list.

Hi. Thanks very much for watching. You are right, for home use, a DI isn't much help unless it is part of an audio interface for recording, or, like I use, an amp sim (Line 6 HX Stomp, etc). If you are looking for an amp for practice and gigging, I would recommend looking for one that has an balanced (XLR) output that allows you to connect to front of house, or into a recording interface. Saves you carrying a DI with you. As an example, my Markbass amp has a balanced out. No need to mic the cabinet and I can set the tone from the amp, not just a clean signal from the bass.

Hi. I rethought my previous answer overnight. While I use a Line 6 HX Stomp for a consistent rehersal, practice, and gigging sound, as an alternative, you could get a DI with a preamp in it. A number of them include a cab sim option and many of them also have a headphone out. The Ampeg SGT DI is getting lots of really great reviews.

you are very welcome. thank you for taking the time to watch, I very much appreciate it.

Hi. Thanks for watching. I use both HX Stomp and LT. For this video all of the sounds came from the Helix LT but the same settings would have worked on the Stomp. The amp block I was using was the Ampeg SVT4-Pro and the 4x10 Ampeg Pro for the cabinet block. I then added the effects to this as I went along the video.

@@twistieonbass thanks!

Thanks for watching and your feedback. The wine cellar's look cool.

Hi, thanks for watching. These are full scale basses and are very versatile. With the exception that they don't "look normal", ie: they don't look like a P-Bass, they would be great as a first bass, especially for a shorter person (child, etc) as they "feel" smaller even though the neck is still full scale.

@@twistieonbass thanks for your reply! I'm learning on a borrowed bass, and my shoulders ache after a short while of playing standing up, so I have to sit. I guess having a ligher instrument would be very useful for me.

@@requemao These are definately VERY light weight. If you are looking at something more "traditional" looking, the Yamaha basses are pretty light. The 434 would be my pick of those. Older models are a bit heavy but the new ones are pretty good.

@@twistieonbass Thanks a lot, will look into those!

THanks.

Thank you VERY much for watching and taking the time to comment. Greetings back from Oz!!

I'm with you. I moved away from a really heavy Eden with 2 4x10 cabinets and am now pretty well just using a HX Stomp. And my back loves me for it 🙂

Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. I'm glad it was of help.

Really? I didn't know that. Thanks for the feedback.

Awesome! Good to know. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for watching.

Thanks very much for watching, and your feedback.

Thanks VERY much for your feedback. I am with you 100%. The 2notes Opus is an awesome approach. If using a pre-amp DI (SansAmp, Helix, etc) works for Geddy Lee, instead of a large amp system, then it can't be too bad.

@twistieonbass True :) And the bass preamps in the opus are good too. If someone is quite a purist and does want to go for a sound without pedals it's even greater. The only drawback of it is its overwhelming options. You can use it for years and still experiment with new sounds, cabs, amp combinations etc :)

@@michisauer And there starts the never ending chasing of tone 🙂

Hi. I have not used one, but they are very inexpensive. I prefer the Radial gear as I have found them really reliable but have used other Behringer gear in the past. I have found that the lower priced gear can be a bit "crackly" or "hissy", so just watch out for that.

@@ryansnydercg thanks very much for watching. Glad you liked it.

@@almar1 hey, thanks for watching! I’ve not used the Mackie but the mic preamps on the A&H are extremely clean. One of the main reasons we chose this over the Behringer was the quality of the pre’s. We have used it as the recording interface in the studio as well as for live work.

Hello again, thank you very much for the help, I would like to ask you another question. Can you expand the input and output capacity of this mixer with a digital snake?

@@almar1 Hi. Absolutely. A&H have 3 digital expanders that provide additional ins and outs to suit the QU series. The AR84 (8in / 4 out), AB168 (16in / 8 out) and the AR2412 (24in / 12out). The QU is limited to 32 channels though so the AR84 or AB168 would be your best bet. We were looking at using the AR84 as a remote interface for the drummer but didn't end up needing in the end as we went with Radial Catapult mini analog snake (a male and a female set) that uses CAT6 cables between them.

@@twistieonbass Thank you very much for clarifying all my concerns, many greetings and congratulations for your excellent channel.

@@almar1 You are very welcome. Thank you for watching.

Thanks for watching!! I worked with a guitarist who had an AXE FXII but I haven't had anything to do with the FM3. Does it have much support for bass amps?

Hi!! Thanks very much for watching and your feedback. Really glad this was of interest.

Before

@@higgybaby74 that’s my preferred place for it too

@@gianni.chiarello awesome! Thanks for the feedback and the link to your vid. Great insight

Thanks man!!! Very much appreciated.

Awesome!!! Thanks for watching, and I'm glad it was helpful. let me know how it goes

Hey!! Thanks for watching. The pickups are the Billy Sheehan signature DiMarzio Relentless pickups and I have a video coming soon on how I put them in. On the bumble-bee I used the DiMarzio WillPower pickups. This was a few years ago and were the ones that were on the Attitude basses. If I was to do it again, I would definately go with the Relentless as they are awesome!

@@twistieonbass THANKS!

Hey!! thanks for watching. Yes, we have a couple running into the desk to cover mic's and sometimes my Helix. The only issue is that the spacing for XLR inputs on most desks is too narrow to fit two of these together. The way around that, is as you suggest, to use a short XLR cable. My Line 6 wireless has around 5ms latency (approximately what you hear when standing away from your amp), and these have similar. So... potentially up to 10ms latency end to end, but I haven't noticed it while playing.

@@twistieonbass thanks, might give it a try, one less cable to plug in!

@@martincarlin1987 Absolutely!!

Thanks for watching. Yes. I had the chance to actually hold that guitar and noticed that. Up until recently I had left my scalloping untreated, but moisture was getting into the fretboard so I put some paint on it.

Absolutely! I have one for it coming up soon. It is fantastic - check it out at pedalnetics.com/product/helauxy-duo/

That device is slick!!

Thanks for the advice. And thanks for the continued support.

@@Marshallstclair I really like the Helix platform. To my ears, I get the sound I want to hear.

@@twistieonbass thanks!

I know!!! Sorry... I'm so used to playing finger style I didn't even think about using a pick

​@@twistieonbassthink outside of the pick!!!

Wow!!! I didn' know that!!! Thanks so much for the info... and thanks very much for watching

Wasn't it Paul on the demo but Gene on the actual album?

@@jameshughes6049 according to Wikipedia, Paul played the albums version. Well, I never… 😂😂✌️

Thanks very much for watching!!! Definately one of my favourite KISS songs and it really was a blast to play. The AXE bass is a bit unbalanced, so hats off to Gene Simmons for being able to use that everynight.
