    I just got My hands on one and its by far one of the best basses i have played The dimarzio pickups make it sound like a p-bass on steroids and the Yamaha pickup gives you a warm fat sound. This bass made me switch from fender to Yamaha

    I agree with you, man. I've been playing for about 10 years now, and almost exclusively fingerstyle. I have nothing against picks, and am actively working to become better at the technique. But for someone who cut their teeth playing fingerstyle, playing with a pick is a bit like playing with gloves on: you can't feel the strings - at least not in the same way. I can also play for hours with fingers and feel fine, but 15 min of picking and my hand aches. Every technique requires practice!

    Sweet demo. It's nice to hear someone not sucking all the mids out of the tone with the VT bass pedal. I don't know if the highs were boosted on the amp or not, but based on what I've heard of dimarzio model P and Will Power pickups (and the configuration on this bass), I would have expected the bass to sound muddy, but it sounded pretty clear here. Very unique instrument.

    it's based on preference but i find pick harder to control especially when string skipping on bass while using fingers, you have two fingers and you can handle more than one string at once, in addition to playing fast.

    Hey Mark, beautiful bass. Can you share a little bit about what the bass sounds like with each pickup soloed? What's the advantage of the DiMazrio as opposed to any other pick up? Is it wound to Billy's specs? What does the neck pup sound like soloed since it is specially designed? Also, where is the woofer high cut switch is located? It would have been interesting to hear what the tonal variations are when you adjust the woofer tone switch as well. Liked the nod to Yes. GLWTS - Talkbass member sneha1965.

    it allows you to split the pickups. pretty much you can send each one to a different amp

  • @smittileo
    @smittileo 11 років тому

    there definately isn't anything wrong with using a pick, you can get a really defined attack and constant note volume from playing pick style.. You can also do some things that you cant do with fingers such as string rakes or really quick notes using rapid up and down picking motions. I musyt admit... Predominantly i am a finger style player, (probably 99% finger style 1% pick) only on the odd song do i use a pick.

    Can somebody please explain the countersunk bridge thing? I know what countersinking is, but I don’t see what you could do to a bridge to lower the string that would be much different than just lowering the saddle

    • @topcturvee1
      @topcturvee1 3 роки тому

      Since no one bothered to answer your question....
      I'll do my best...to my understanding!!
      Countersunk, is when they remove wood, or ACTUALLY
      Shave a small section, under the bridge, itself.
      So when the bridge is mounted to the Bass ,
      It's not sittingflush to the body,
      But, actually sunk into the Body just a little bit, to give the ability to lower the action, past the normal point.
      Especially, when it comes to high mass Bridges, for example....a BADASS Bridge,
      Would be a good candidate,
      To countersink!!
      Hope that helps you!!

      Just get a Rickenbacker and save some money, as the AT3 isn't cheap anyway. Practically is a Rickenbacker/modern Precision hybrid, so you're not missing much by just getting one half of the bass style.

    i agree with SpoonFinder,, play with finger is much better,, you not only play the bass, you also feel it,but playing with a pick is not pussy, it's depend on what music you play,, but i prefer the finger, you can look Flea,Geddy Lee, Claypool, Fieldy,Jaco etc. i think pick make the sound strong but it is also make the sound have less feel, like a robot

    What's wrong with playing with picks? It gives a more 'attack' to the sound and it varies depending on what kind of music you play. Playing with a pick is definitely harder than using fingers and the genius who said picks are for pussies should be proven wrong.
