Thanks for watching - please subscribe!
This is longer than a Short and my brain can’t cope.
*screw shorts*
Zoomer Brainrot attention span has taken another victim
just copy the url and put '/shorts/' instead of '/watch'
@@TheDiamondBladeHD it’s us behs players…we can only deal with the length of Danny’s usual uploads.
Shorts are the worst thing on UA-cam. If your brain is so fried on them you can't have the basic attention span to consume yt in how it's meant to be, then get off the platform. Zoomer.
The Stranglers opening was nice
Thanks for playing the bass for us.
Wow! Thank you!
@@DannySapkoyou’re very welcome. In honor of my cousin who is no longer with us but inspired me to pick it up. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoner_(bass_guitarist)
Fellow bradfordian and bass enthusiast, I best get practicing. Well done for not selling out ! Up the bantams !!!!🐔❤️
I did a 4 string with an old guitar. Made it fretless and rounded the neck edges, It's my favorite instrument now.
first time I've seen someone use a Bass-VI type instrument in a basslike and guitarlike manner AT THE SAME TIME. really cool!!
I think the Cure did that sort or thing well with the bass VI a lot too, especially on “To Wish Impossible Things”, one of the most beautiful pieces of music I’ve ever heard
You should check out Charlie Hunter's playing. It's not a Bass Vi type instrument he plays but he does play both lead and bass at once on the same instrument. Crazy talented dude.
you can tighten the spring claw in the cavity on the back or the guitar or even add more springs to it to get the bridge to settle down.
Or just wedge it from inside the cavity. I found a d10 from a set of RPG dice works perfectly in my S-type when I want to essentially make it a hardtail. Maybe it won't work for everyone but it's super cheap to find out.
love the long form videos.. MORE PLEASE !!!!
You inspired me to play the bass; it has changed my life and I want to do it for a living now! I can't thank you enough for giving me the push.
the "whateva" at the end came from the hearth lmao
Never noticed the Prince tattoo, nice :)
As a black and homosexual transgender African American muslim I love Prince
Thank you for fixing this guitar 🙏
I do respect the integrity of not endorsing the world of mega clan battles mobile game. Thing is...the less you promote, the more valuable it is when you DO promote something.
Thanks!
this guys humor is unmatched and i love it
Danny, the Charles impression! 🤣
Can't put a price on your humour or intergrity, but here's a small contribution from Scotland...
I'm sure there's a stereotype joke in there, somewhere!
Pretty cool, man! Take the springs off of the trem and stuff a stack of quarters (or bits or whatever you guys use) between the trem block and the body. It will make the bridge lie flat. I did this on my strat to increase sustain.
I fixed my strat by buying a tele ;)
Sounds good to me, Danny. Up the tension on the bridge springs and get a block of wood in from underneath to "block off" the tremolo bridge. Remember that the higher the action, the more upward stress is put on the neck.
One good reason for not doing this to a Fender Strat is that a major instrument vendor whose name vaguely rhymes with "Hear Your Music" sells an excellent bass VI like this at a very affordable price under a brand name that rhymes with "PubHero".
Was also going to recommend the block of wood it should help.
Danny used to do their demos, so maybe they could hook him up
G4m sound like they would make borderline scam and fairly faulty products straight from beijing, but honestly, there's worse out there.
I love the longer videos Danny.
That sounds awesome Danny. Perfect instrument for those who love the guitar and bass but can't decide what they wanna play. It would work great in a 3 piece
I dunno about a battle or a fight, but would love to see a collab between you and Charles. Twin Behs!!
🤣How funny and nice you are Danny! Can't stop laughing!!!
Nice on Danny 🤘
Either block the tremolo or add more/stronger springs and the bridge will sort itself out. that would also lower the action just a bit by lowering the bridge saddles.
Love the videos Danny!
I was actually inspired by your short and did this with my first guitar, which i've barely touched since i was 15. Now i play it frequently. Little thing produces some nice tones! There were already many dysfunctional things about it, so i figured that it might as well be a disfunctional BASS. It's nice to play it again after it had been sitting around unused for so long :)
You have a great self-deprecating manner, Danny. You're a very funny comedian and a genuinely nice guy. You're quite a decent behs player too!
You're a legend Danny. Keep up the greatness!
i love you danny sapko
Great channel old lad... Keep up the good work..
#Danny Sapko.
Just a slightly strange northern guy making his way.
You’re epic dude, respect from Portsmouth. 🤝
JJ was my inspiration for picking up the bass. Saw The Stranglers a few times 83 - 85. Hammersmith Odeon was a riot (the seating got ripped out!). Happy times.
Take out the wammy bar, glue a block of wood in the brudge cavity's and get a fixed bridge. Or if you still want a wammy you could attempt putting a bigsby in
Hey man, that was a really fun video, much love!
A Bass VI.
Always nice to hear the Stranglers get some love. Mr Burnel has been my biggest bass hero ever since I saw them live back in my impressionable teenage years. Now just strap on your (horrifically mutilated) guitar and we'll play some rock and roll
No! Don't do that!
It's the worst crime that we ever did
Gonna be honest, I prefer the long form videos over the shorts. I get it however. New member here, hopin you keep the BEHS coming man.
That sounds incredible
I love how honest this is.
I converted a bronco bass to a bass vi. Filled the original tuner holes, and re drilled for some Squier VI tuners. Didn’t wanna deal with a trem, so I found a toronado bridge that fit exactly where the bronco bridge sat. I did have to widen the holes in the bridge and make it string through. Amazon sells a string through bar so you don’t have to worry as much about wonky ferrules.
Pretty cool bass .
there was this very very wise finnish musician who once said that "you buy instruments you don't sell them" in finnish "soittimia ostetaan eikä myydä" and i think that is a really good rule
Coverted daughter's 24" scale guitar into a 4 string bass when she decided to come to the right side... she loves it and it makes for a great starter bass...
Having Danny just stand around and talk for a bit is so fun to watch
Sick BEHS Brah!!!
If you decide to block the bridge, I found one really easy and quite reversible way to do it: dice! Find one that fits or make one fit by sanding it down. The density somehow seems really well-matched to the wood it's blocked against. I'd normally recommend getting a cheap sacrificial back cover plate you don't mind cutting a hole in, so you can insert or yank the block, but I don't think you'd be enabling the floating bridge any time soon. Set it and forget it is probably perfect for you.
lmfao…that Strat is about to blow!!! How the heck is the nut holding?? 🤘🏼🤘🏼🎸
Cheers! 🍻
I kinda did this with s banjo and fell in love with it
Dziękujemy.
Thanks for the Stranglers bit.
Lol, the light constantly turning itself off was epic. It wanted it's own spot on your video.
danny sapko i just got to the part of the video where you talked about money, i love you man this is all i can afford atm, take care :)
Thanks
i feel like the lights going out will be a reoccurring gag on this channel
+1 for blocking off trem. I might try this on one of mine too!
Sounds pretty good to me Danny.
Literally subbed for the Stranglers
Do Danny sapko’s bass tone
He did
Danny i challenge you to get a talkbox for your bass guitars try playing slap Bass with the talkbox in your mouth your vids are off the chain dude
Effin funny mate, the way that the things that you covered I see in me. I have always worn a Greek fisherman's hat since being a kid, people always thought that I was bald. I always made an exaggerated show of taking it off briefly through a gig to complain of the bloody heat and ran my fingers through my hair dramatically. I have always been flamboyant in the clothes I wear (in the main). There has never been a venue that some two hat hasn't wanted to kick my arse for being a raving poof (I am not, not that it should matter), married for 35 years, two adult children. Finally, two years ago, I did exactly the same thing with a strat, 😊, great fun 😁, I too did not think that it would stand up to the tension, but so far it has, 🤞.
Like deployed 🤞
Nice, it sounds great I will try one day to convert a guitar in to a bass, the problem with the bridge is that is a floating bridge, maybe if you bolt it to a steel plate and that plate to the body will fix the problem, in my case I will make a bridge from zero (I work on a machining shop) with the same size and string spacing
Punks not dead!!! 🤘🤘🤘 keep it up!!!
Sounds awesome! You could use a furring strip cut-off for behind the trem block underneath the bridge to hard-tail it. As for the neck maybe add a screw or two? Can't imagine your scarf joint will be too pleased with the extra tension though.
They sell higher tension trem springs. Replace the strings on the back with 5 of them bad boys, and that will help bring the bridge closer to its natural level.
Wow, it's Danny Knopfler, using those fingers & all that! Well done, sir.
Mate ,I like your style 😎🎸👍
Great for when you want your guitar to sound like a vaporwave remix of a guitar
Ahhh Peaches on the Beaches maan
✌🏽
why did you sold that Bass VI , that's how I discovered you back in 2018
cool vid I been thinking about doing that to a guitar all week, glad I get to hear it from you lol !
Danny can play. He's honest and cool as an iceberg, and can wind up a Rickenbacker ♠️
Would definitely love to see a behs battle with Charles.
Those boxing moves weren’t a one off. Multi talented
Been waiting for a while to hear you play one of JJB's basslines, have a pint and a packet of crisps on me
I turned a Squier sonic strat into a bass with a neck from retrovibe, sounds wild.
Danny I usually mess up putting my rotosound’s like ripping the red threads, could you make a video on how you put strings on your bass since your always changing them
the day the bridge gives up it is going to explode and destroy everything in a 2 meters radius
CAN THIS GUITAR BE SAVED?
Here's what I would do:
1) tighten the trem springs, then block off the trem with a piece of wood.
2) replace your tuners with Bass VI compatible tuners . No more vice grips!
3) replace wood screws holding on neck with machine screws and inserts installed in the neck. Not only is this stronger, you might get some added sustain.
4) if possible, install a metal plate on the upper wall of the neck pickup cavity to reinforce it.
Although it was beyond amusing to see the lights constantly winking out, here's a few quid (you "blokes" still say that, right?) to keep them on. Keep up the great work!
nice stranglers cover there
😂🤣😂I kept seeing shorts and they're amusing and silly so I subscribed and watched this. Its funny! A sense of humour is so refreshing in music. (Someone tell Beato) PS I can't play the behs...
When I was 13 I started learning to play bass but I didnt have one.
My mom had an old Gibson acoustic guitar that I converted to a bass.
Took the high E and B strings off and that was how I learned to play bass.
Learned from Grand funk, James Gang, Sabath, anything that had a loud bass in the mix.
Open up the back of that Strat, loosen the strings and block off the space between the bridge and the back of the routed out area so the bridge can't lift up. Should do a lot to keep the tuning from going out too.
Alright. Enough's enough. It's time for Dinosaur Jr. Bass tone.
Daniel when is the 5 string video coming? The people will not forget 😉
NOW WE NEED A HAT OPDATE!!!
Should have used a Telecaster. Although that would also be sacrilege.
Love the sound from it though .
❤️❤️❤️
Sounds great. You're a fine player. Doug Pinnick Kings X bass tone please. Is it possible on a 4-string?
can put some stacks of coins or a block of very hard wood behind the trem block to hold it in place.
You and Charles should have an "accent-off"...
My thought is to replace the bridge with a hard tail. I know that some people have the tremolo "blocked" (I'm not sure if that term is correct) to act as a hard tail but, I don't know if it would make that any more stable.
Also, I ordered a bass strap yesterday. So, I saw this with the link a tad too late.
I did this with an old cort m600 once back when I didn't know what I was doing with guitar, I just wanted a deeper angrier sound and tuning an octave down was the only way I could think of to get that sound
It worked, but I probably should have used a different guitar
@ 4:50 FUCK YEAH! 👍😎👍
UA-cam needs more honest people like you, I'll give you a tip whenever I can even if it's not much, I hope that it helps!
UK based Newtone strings would be a better bet I reckon. They make custom sets to order. Just give them the length and gauges you want.
Also for the tremolo you could just block it off maybe? Or increase the tension with the two screws in the back.
Put extra springs in the trem and it should sit down a bit more. Sounds great tho!
Add an extra spring or two to the trem,
I mean we all know that Danny is a living meme but this meme man sure is talented. Fantastic bassist great guitarist and just all around great musician.
Sounds great though
