I'm with on gk but l gig with aguilar or markbass. For me those 2 are easier to dial in what l need. Aguilar for slappin and thumpin, markbass for grooving and if l had the dough and the workload l'd get a tone hammer as it excells at that ooie-gooie-tubie sound. I did not like the markbass until l learned how to use those 2 knobs on the right! Good stuff you got here!
I like the clean sound of the snap but, I back the highs down enough that when I play slap style, the sound is even. Fresh strings will give you that snap tone any way so, if I’m going between slap and finger style playing I never have to readjust my eq for either styles.
Alright,...I totally understand that as well. I just like a "HEAVY" not "STRONG",..."HEAVY!!!!!" cleeeeeeean! tone when I'm gigging with others. When I jump to finger style. I'm gonna be so real with you, it's not even funny. I don't even go to the "BRIDGE" pickup. I stay right in the middle all the way through the song. That's just me. And it also depends on the song. (Smiles).
Nice bass I had about 4 of them. working on getting another one. anyway I know you love the GK's do me a favor, play on a the amp peg 900 head and the T C Electronic speakers 15 with 2 v12 inch speakers Or 4 x10 and 2x12, I think you might change your mind on GK . LOL! check out some of my latest vid. I play that set up. just saying LOL. as always, you keep the videos coming love your basses.
Why thank you bassman51able. I highly appreciate it. Now, as far as "AMPEG". "AMPEG'S" are good. I definitely agree. Now,...the "TC ELECTRONICS" amp thingy. No!,...No!,...Nooooooo! Straight toys. Don't have the "PHILLY" bottom that we like over here or up here. "GK!" is thee only way. Nothing else. Nah-dah! Been playing them for years and they haven't let this dude down yet. They are so good,...that a bassist came to me and ask; "CAN I PLAY THROUGH YOUR BASS RIG?" Now he had "EDEN" at the time. Go figure that,..."BAT MAN". Lol! He also was using a 6 string "KEN SMITH" at that time as well. So,..."GK!" is it with me. I'm trying to keep them coming. I am so glad you like the basses I use. Now you have some stuff I wish I had too. Now your stuff is great too bruddah! You keep it come too. I got my eyes on you . Thanks. : D
I have a Bassmods k-6/Sunburst -Gorgeous Bass. 2 regular knobs, 2 stack knobs and 2 switches. Bought at a pawnshop for $270.00 Co. Website has no 6-strings. So, I’ll have to guess at what everything controls😐
I have a 2013 Bass Mods that has Bartolini j5 pickups/ John East preamp. That’s my go to bass and it cuts through the mix aggressively. I had it made in 2013 and 2014 Bass Mods 4 String that has Emg 40j pickups/ East j retro deluxe preamp.
Yeah,...I think BassMods have the Barts with the Bart preamp that's the 5.7 or the 5.1 or 4.6. Which ever one it is, that is another "BEAST" that BassMods have installed in their basses.
Facebook has Phil on there with his bass. I think it "BASSMODS UNITED". Now Phil don't get into hard playing, so can't really hear what his PJ bass actually can do. It can kill a herd of "AFRICAN" elephants, two hippos, one cheetah, 4 crocs, a leopard, and a water buffalo. Ha! That bass is too "NASTY". : D
Good info bruh. Been playing for over 30 years and never thought about it that way. Quick question I’ve never been able to get a sound out of the GK 800 can you share your setting.
Aaaaaah! I love guys like you. Patience is a virtue. Lower register, higher register. It does matter as long as you can "PLAY!!!!!",...the "BASS". Too funny for me,...boss. You'll be ok. Trust me. Ha! Oh and by the way,...the video is about "POP and SNAP!". Not the lows and the highs. Read very carefully sometimes my man. :D
Hey Chris V. Yes,...that is so annoying. Now, let me explain something here. You can really hear it "SIZZLE" because there are no other instruments involved. In your own spare time,...play with some other musicians and turn your treble up. Once the other musicians start playing, you won't hear that "SIZZLE" at all. Now, once yaw stop playing, you might hear it and still not as much. I basically did this so you can hear the difference. That's all. I feel you though.
Well,...in my opinion and from my experience. Passive basses give a more "SECURE",...less malfunctioning problem. Active basses,...they do give you a more overtone and output sound. But, if the "BATTERY" or "BATTERIES die,...there goes or here comes the malfunctioning problem. Some active basses go into "PASSIVE" mode automatically,...once the battery or batteries die out. Some active basses just shut right off. No sound. Usually a passive Precision bass is the "BOMB!" or a Jazz bass. And, it all depends on what type of music you guys play and what the type of bass sound the song requires. That's about it. Hope this helps you make a decision.
Sammy,...not at this present time boss. I've been sitting and thinking of what type of bass I would like to create now. Lol! Especially, with the parts I have laying around. My mind is always in the spinning mode, once I finish with a bass project. You understand. Hey,...here's what I do. I go to "CRAIGSLIST, GUITAR CENTER, MUSICGOROUND, REVERB, EBAY,...heck. I'd probably go to "EBAY'S" cousin,...if there was one. Lol! You have to do what I do. I shop "AROUND" bruddah. : D
Jay Taylor,...My fault. I shall do a recap on this pop/snap thingy, so you can see and execute between the two. I'll combine this move in a video that I'm gonna do for "KRYSZO" in my "SX" modified video. Ok? I gotcha' bruddah. Lol! You are so welcome.
Yo, bro! I appreciate the love. You made my basses sound better than I ever could.
I'm so glad I could help. :D

Yes,...Snap is where it's at! Lol! Thank you for being a "SNAP!" guy too. Yes sir! "SNAAAAAAAAAP!"

Hey Cooper, What's up; Hey, Where can I go to hear these Phil Miller Basses for myself? you got everyone curious now😆👊🏾
Facebook has Phil on there with his bass. I think it "BASSMODS UNITED". Now Phil don't get into hard playing, so can't really hear what his PJ bass actually can do. It can kill a herd of "AFRICAN" elephants, two hippos, one cheetah, 4 crocs, a leopard, and a water buffalo. Ha! That bass is too "NASTY". : D
I think you mean UL-Yate pickups, not UL-ite. LOL It's all good.
Yes,..."ulyates" . You are so right. Thank you for correcting me. : D
Good info bruh. Been playing for over 30 years and never thought about it that way. Quick question I’ve never been able to get a sound out of the GK 800 can you share your setting.
"GOD!" THEE ALMIGHTY FIRST!" Good morning bruddah! Before we get into details. What cabinet(s) are you using? That will help me help you. : D
11coopbass Cooper usually it’s a 4x10 with a tweeter SWR or Eden sometimes a GK 4x10 and 15.
WWAAAYYY to much talking! And more sound samples in the lower register notes. It is a bass afterall
Aaaaaah! I love guys like you. Patience is a virtue. Lower register, higher register. It does matter as long as you can "PLAY!!!!!",...the "BASS". Too funny for me,...boss. You'll be ok. Trust me.

We want SX modified
Ok "kryszo",...I'll do a video on my "SX" modified's today. Give me a little bit of time. It's kind of early. I got you guys too. Lol!
And the amp constantly sizzling doesn't bother you?
Hey Chris V. Yes,...that is so annoying. Now, let me explain something here. You can really hear it "SIZZLE" because there are no other instruments involved.

I would love to buy this bass is it for sale
Nah,...this bass is not for sale. They are getting hard to get now a days,...for a good price. : D
Hey coop i have a question. It might be a stupid one. To gig is it better to have a passive bass or a active.
Well,...in my opinion and from my experience. Passive basses give a more "SECURE",...less malfunctioning problem. Active basses,...they do give you a more overtone and output sound. But, if the "BATTERY" or "BATTERIES die,...there goes or here comes the malfunctioning problem. Some active basses go into "PASSIVE" mode automatically,...once the battery or batteries die out.

And, it all depends on what type of music you guys play and what the type of bass sound the song requires. That's about it. Hope this helps you make a decision.
Nice Coop! What is the spelling of the "u light pick ups" I want to look ihem up...
Thanks bruddah. ULYATE that's how you spell it my man. : D
The problem with “Snap” is u have 0 bottom. I need to sound like a bass!Thats what makes Marcus’ tone perfect!
Hey coop would you have any 5 strings for sell?
Sammy,...not at this present time boss. I've been sitting and thinking of what type of bass I would like to create now. Lol! Especially, with the parts I have laying around. My mind is always in the spinning mode, once I finish with a bass project. You understand. Hey,...here's what I do. I go to "CRAIGSLIST, GUITAR CENTER, MUSICGOROUND, REVERB, EBAY,...heck. I'd probably go to "EBAY'S" cousin,...if there was one. Lol! You have to do what I do. I shop "AROUND" bruddah. : D
Nice Coop, but you didn’t show us beginners how to execute both of them. Thanks brugh. 👊🏾
Jay Taylor,...My fault. I shall do a recap on this pop/snap thingy, so you can see and execute between the two. I'll combine this move in a video that I'm gonna do for "KRYSZO" in my "SX" modified video. Ok? I gotcha' bruddah. Lol! You are so welcome.
