Bass cover / Take A Message / Remy Shand / Fender PB70 / La Bella flatwounds
Do you remember Remy Shand?
.
In 2002, this unknown Canadian singer/songwriter dropped a masterclass in 70s soul/R&B conjuring up the essence of Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Al Green, and The Isley Brothers over expertly crafted songs on which he played EVERY instrument! His self-produced debut album, The Way I Feel, was nominated for four Grammy’s in 2003.
.
On the cusp of international success and fame, he walked away from music to pursue an interest in electrical engineering in the field of recording arts and sciences and has remained out of the public eye ever since.
.
Song: Take A Message
Album: The Way I feel (2002)
Artist: Remy Shand

Fender Japan PB70 Precision Bass with LaBella Flatwounds
Переглядів 1812 місяці тому
Taking my recently acquired 2000 Fender Japan PB70 for a spin! . I love this bass! It’s a modest 7 lbs 15 oz and resonates beautifully 🤌🏻 I replaced the stock pickup with an overwound Lollar P and strung it with LaBella flatwounds. Testing out the tones with a little drive from an Aguilar Tone Hammer Preamp/DI. Sounding killer! . Song: Control Artist: Mutemath . . . Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN THE...

In this video, I’m comparing the Aguilar AG 4J-60 and DiMarzio DP123 Model J pickups. I wanted to replace the stock pickups in my Squier Classic Vibe 60s Jazz Bass and put these two sets to the test to see which one I liked best. The Aguilar pickups are designed to reproduce the warmth and clarity of Jazz Bass pickups from the 1960’s. Similarly, the DiMarzio pickups are designed to reproduce vi...

Digging in to the groovy playing of Stax bassist Donald “Duck” Dunn. He wasn’t an improvisational virtuoso like Jamerson at Motown, but he had a deep pocket and a highly syncopated style. His lines were mostly simple and supportive, but they had a soulful bounce which makes them feel great and fun to play.

    Interestingly, I found that the finger style sound of the Labella's at 100% on the tone knob sounded like a louder variation of the picked sound you got out of the Fender strings.

    • @stephenboutwell1012
      @stephenboutwell1012 2 місяці тому

      Nice catch! I think the LaBella’s have a more pronounced midrange while the Fender’s have a stronger low fundamental with less midrange. The pick is the only thing bringing out the midrange in the Fender’s which is how I could see it sounding similar. I actually prefer the picked Fender’s over the picked La Bella’s.

But not quite like rounds sound wise. I have them on my jazz bass with foam mutes between the string pairs. They need cleaned regularly, the develop a rough-ish patchy corrosion but a swipe of Albolene with a good wipe after has fended that stuff off so far after it first developed.

    With roundwounds that are a year old and using a compressors well there isn't as much if a difference in sound between rounds and flats as there could be. Considering these things the tone control provides more of a difference in sound than old dead rounds vs flats.
