Todd is so much more than a Bass player (even though he plays Bass great)! He's a killer guitarist and vocalist and writer as well. But the cherry on top is that Todd is also a funny, warm, and great Guy. Live long and prosper Sir Todd.
This is a great interview. This guy seems very humble and kind. No ego whatsoever. To play with Slash and fill Duffs shoes is a tall order. He must be really good and tasteful with with choice of notes. If he’s not endorsed by Gibson as of yet they are missing out. Guys like this are the guys you want to endorse.
This is the bass guitar that makes me want to play bass guitar. This is the coolest bass I've ever seen! I like what you're doing Gibson! Keep it up! Oh yeah Todd is sick on the bass!
I love the tone of this bass. If Gibson reissued the RD, Ripper, and Grabber and also kept this one around then they might become my favorite bass manufacturer.
I saw Todd Kerns and Bruce Kulick play together a few times on the KISS Kruises'. Together they knock it out of the park. Todd has an amazing voice covering the songs of the KISS non-makeup era. I hope the he will play with Bruce again on KISS Kruise X.
@@bobt5778 late response but this bass cuts trough quite well, it has that P growl and the additional low end from it being a shortie has you covered, honestly for 999$ this is a killer MIA bass.
Dammit, that's some clean growl... Gibson, are you paying attention? We like this. All of it. Edit: Except the hard sell on the bridge... It was awkward, and we all hate that damn thing and you know it. 👍
@@coletricklejr.7083 Thanks for affirming this as real. Yeah, not in my budget at present. The Gibson company at present is a grandson-copy of the company that made quality instruments in the mid 20th century, now composed of corporate structure that came from college business grads and recent hire mass manufacturing employees. Keeping the 3 point bridge is the new copy-company's attempt to retain the legacy of the gone company, and in an ineffective way that keeps the product inferior.
Could someone help me by saying what are the width, depth and length measurements of this Les Paul Junior bass? I need this information to find out if I can use a guitar hardcase ...
Very cool looking & sounding bass. Gibson should have basic standard models customers can always get and that Les Paul Double Cut Bass looks like it ought to be one.
Hey could anyone plz tell me what would be a good case or gig for this bass like a really good one I know it comes with one but I'm not to sure how good that one is
@@pattonPwr Not surprising but I can't fault this guy. This little bass could be fun in front of the TV but I don't know about a real gig. Then again if Gibson wanted to hook me up with a few T-Birds in exchange for my saying some kind words about their only budget bass, I'm game. Yes, I'm a whore!!! The shame. The shame! Now give me my T-Birds!
ok i think i ll give my blue satin lp junior bass one more chance after wathcing this video. othewise gibson you ll send a sg bass free of charge. ok?? :D
DOES THIS GUY EVER PLAY WITH HIS FINGERS OR WITH HIS THUMB I WONDER THE USE OF A PICK FOR ME WOULD PROBABLY ONLY BE FOR RECORDING PURPOSES THEN, ONLY FOR A SONG OR A SPECIFIC PASSAGE MAYBE I GUESS SOME GUYS THINK IT'S COOL TO USE A PICK BUT HOW CAN YOU PRODUCE ANY TONE WORTH A CRAP I'LL CHECK OUT THE BASS AND THEN CALL A REP TO INQUIRE ABOUT IT CARLOS GUITARLOS 90042
Nothing worse than a musician who demos an instrument that gets kids wanting it to be like their idols... only to find they dont play one and it's a sales ploy.

I didn’t realize until just now that i could listen to bass guitar forever

I love Todd vocals and his bass lines 🤩

Todd's old band Age of Electric was awesome! He has a great voice. Hello from Canada Todd.
saw them a few times over the years. so many GREAT songs

Amazing! It is great to see new talent playing and talking about an iconic brand ! Long live TK!
TK talking shop on Bass

Thanks for the video
l hope you do more with Todd Kerns
great guy great musician.
Love the sound.
The most adorable bass player !
Great to see Todd here !!! Thank you!!! 😊
I’m definitely getting a bass now
That bass looks as good as it sounds.
Bring back the grabber!
@@beano2266 so true
I'm buying soon as they release one
Hell yeah

Love it. Great artist ! Great singer and guitar player ! You rock
These new videos are great! Keep them coming.
I have this bass with the worn cherry finish. It's my favorite out of 11 basses that I own. Sounds great
John, how is it in a band situation? My EB-0 sometimes disappears in the mix, but this seems to cut a little more than that.
@@bobt5778 late response but this bass cuts trough quite well, it has that P growl and the additional low end from it being a shortie has you covered, honestly for 999$ this is a killer MIA bass.
Excuse me, but his name is Todd DAMMIT Kerns
Thanks Todd. Great review. Looks I now know what my next Bass will be.
Love the sound of the bass (and Todd, too)! Can we have more videos of Todd?
That one of the best sounding basses I've heard
Facts
@@coletricklejr.7083 I was think about buying this bass. I wasn't too sure about the short scale. But it sounds so good
@@portugeseking7959 agreed. I couldn't deal with a shorty either but this thing's got a killer sound.
And the price is so good. To me it sounds better than a P bass.
Dammit, that's some clean growl...
Gibson, are you paying attention? We like this. All of it.
Edit: Except the hard sell on the bridge... It was awkward, and we all hate that damn thing and you know it. 👍
You like the golden silkscreen logo?
@@ToniLivo Its okay, just simple. :)
Yeah, I wouldn't buy a Gibson because the first thing Is have to do is go buy a bridge.
@@carpediemarts705 I did just that, actually... Pretty rad machine afterwards. 👍✌
@@coletricklejr.7083 Thanks for affirming this as real. Yeah, not in my budget at present.

I like his tone. It reminds me of Gene Simmons original tone from the first three KISS records.
Robert David Tingstrom yup
Minimum Overdrive We’re still talking bass guitars, right? 🤔
@@danstone4075 lmao i think it went over his head.
@@TORREX-A.D. Not his original Charlie LoBue Bass
Now this is the most badass thing you're seeing today!
in the beginning there was sound 🎶love this bass ⚡️heartstrings 💛✨Todd describes & plays it so beautifully 🌞thumpin heartbeat 🎶
Estevan, Saskatchewan!!!! Todd is awesome, looks great for his age too.
They didn’t mention anything about his other band Toque, great stuff.
Aidan Gerber Love their album. Fantastic renditions of Fantasy and Go For Soda.
erictoniaschwab1009 have you heard their newest album? Great shit plus their first original song!
Because he doesn't play BASS in them ;)
Dammit Wear ah yes that’s right, that makes more sense
A serious Super Talent he is. Great Human as well.
Won't replace the P-bass, but it has a very useful sound. Definitely a #2.
Love this!
Omg that sounds sooo good. Rich and creamy!
Lovro Knezevic As much as I love Fender basses there is nothing that sounds like a Gibson bass...Everybody should have a Gibson bass...
Could someone help me by saying what are the width, depth and length measurements of this Les Paul Junior bass? I need this information to find out if I can use a guitar hardcase ...
Would love to hear it threw my big muff deluxe pedal ! Seems like it would have some serious low end fuzz 🤘💀🤘
Cool little bass
Very cool looking & sounding bass. Gibson should have basic standard models customers can always get and that Les Paul Double Cut Bass looks like it ought to be one.
It's gained more traction than any "new" Gibson model in a long time, though I thought the eb-13 was underrated
Hey could anyone plz tell me what would be a good case or gig for this bass like a really good one I know it comes with one but I'm not to sure how good that one is
Good performance. What gauge strings do you prefer?
WOAZERS~ Great video ~ great star!
Not sure this bass is for me. But this dude is alright. Will look into his old band and the new Slash stuff.
he used pbass and thunderbird to record all the stuff with slash. this bass is a toy.

Yes, I'm a whore!!! The shame. The shame! Now give me my T-Birds!
Seems like a cool dude 👍 and I dig the look of that bass
Gibson we need more bass!!!!!
Gibson,bring back the Ripper Bass!
That is a really great sounding bass. Not “muddy” at all..
I love Todd kerns
SAludos Todd (Slash Army Mexico)
incredible bang-4-buck here
I don't want the bass
I want HAIR like him !!! 😂
Nice bit of representation Todd🙂
Great todd ❤😂❤
dude gave a shout out to Bootsy !
wish all people can get one :(
@ the small sum of $549.00 and then 15%-20% off for a sale price I got mine for $460.00 plus tax so it's the more affordable Gibson USA has to offer.
ok i think i ll give my blue satin lp junior bass one more chance after wathcing this video. othewise gibson you ll send a sg bass free of charge. ok?? :D
That bass sound in the beginning sounds like a bed of teddy bears but solid af lol
How many people bought this bass guitar after watching the video?
This thing is really cool. Me likely
Is this Lexi from Steel Panther with black hair 😂
Prestigue guitars in Canada had a Todd signature guitar, I owned one of them in 2014, it was not very good, hope Gibson is doing better for him
Not possible in that it came out in 2017 ;)
Only crapper thing is a plastic input Jack ?! Why !
He "loves" gibson's crappy/unstable/non-adjustable 3-point bridges. LOL & LOL
Todd is so "C"...to the "ANADA".
I hear Gene Simmons infulence in his playing
DOES THIS GUY EVER PLAY WITH HIS FINGERS OR WITH HIS THUMB I WONDER
THE USE OF A PICK FOR ME WOULD PROBABLY ONLY BE FOR RECORDING PURPOSES
THEN, ONLY FOR A SONG OR A SPECIFIC PASSAGE MAYBE
I GUESS SOME GUYS THINK IT'S COOL TO USE A PICK BUT HOW CAN YOU PRODUCE ANY TONE WORTH A CRAP
I'LL CHECK OUT THE BASS AND THEN CALL A REP TO INQUIRE ABOUT IT
CARLOS GUITARLOS 90042
He does, but everything is based on sound and what sound he wants.
Monique Kerns
OH THAT'S SO GROOVY
SO JUST HOW LIMITED IS HIS TECHNIQUE AND ABILITY

Nothing worse than a musician who demos an instrument that gets kids wanting it to be like their idols... only to find they dont play one and it's a sales ploy.
*Davie504*
_Why dislike button doesn't work?! Using a pick on BASS is FORBIDDEN!_
Tell that to Chris Squier, Paul McCartney Glenn Hughes, Carole Kay and Several other greats that don't know who the hell you are....
Using a pick is illegal!
Davie504 fans, please stay out of real music , thank you
Dee Dee may have disagreed;-)
you use a picc thats not epicc
and yet nobody knows who you are...
@@JohnDavis-yj7lf who the fuck are you?no one know you either
I think he should have pre thought about what he was going to play here as it was just, repeat repeat repeat........boring
You've got to be kidding.
