That was a freaking awesome transition.. I just repeated it like 5 times, it's so groovy and smooth. Also love the tiny bend you do at end of the frase , 8:44 .. tu tuuuuuu (bend ) tuuu.. Nice
Great playing man! And sorry unrelated question but I wanted to ask, if I wanted an SVT tone out of my bass should I get the Zoom or is it worth going that extra bit for the Sans Amp VT?
I don't think the Zoom B1x Four would be my first choice for an SVT in a box (though it does a decent job of it) but if all you're after is the SVT sound, then the Sansamp is the way to go. I'd recommend the Zoom only if you were also interested in all of the other things it has to offer ie effects, tuner, looper, drummer, etc. If you don't have any other pedals, then it's a great place to start. I've got a video set for next week that's a shootout of the BDDI and the Zoom, so that might be worth hearing before you make a decision.
@@ampthebassplayer thank you so much man. I have been watching a lot of your videos and didn't know which one I was leaning towards. Looking forward to that shootout :)
@@nolancassini I have both (Zoom and VT Bass) and I totally agree with AMP, that is, when I want in addition to the SVT simulation also a little compression and other effects I just use Zoom, which fulfills its role very well! In fact lately I've been using practically only B1four
For my main band, I have everything memorized but when I do these kinds of gigs with other bands I do use charts on an iPad. The app I use is called forScore.
A couple basic questions I would like your thoughts on. How do you decide which bass to play for that type of gig with so much diversity of music genres? Do you bring a 5 along or is switching basses often too problematic. I struggle with this even in my church gigs.
For this band, I bring my Serek because I just like it and it’s light and comfortable. With other bands, there are usually songs that are better served by a 5 string and then I take my Yamaha BB735. I’d love to bring my L2500, but it’s a bit heavy for long gigs which most of these are. Getting close to the original tone is definitely nice, but it’s far less important than playing the parts.
@@ampthebassplayer Thanks! Yeah, I always think "this song would sound great with my (fill in the blank) bass" but when I do too much switching around my playing does tend to suffer?! Then I remember that 99.9% of the people wouldn't be able to tell the difference in bass tone anyways, especially in a full band mix. Btw, I remember your original video with the Serek. That bass does sound sweet!!
The "OH! We're back, baby!" at 3:50 and y'all picking back it up instantly is PERFECT
Couldn't have planned it better.
You were right in your community post, I didn't get any notifications about this video at all. Nice one, thanks for the great content as always!
Andrew, great that this video shows the life of a working musician & not a bass snob. Nice & Thx.
Your band's rendition of Backstreet's Back is pretty killer
Super cool vlog! Love this video format with the intermittent q&a
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
3 weddings (and a funeral?)
Really cool transition at 8:41 👍👍👍
I've watched this video multiple times. It's really inspiring
That looks like a lot of fun!!!
Looks like a good time
8:38 Dude, that was tight!
Also, smooth job handling the power outage. Sax player is on point, dammit
Kenny is national treasure for sure!

What do you typically charge for a wedding?

What is that song after the transition at 8:38?? I want to learn to play that song.
Brick House!
Nice video, thanks for sharing ! :)
Are you using a chart book, or application on ipad or something like that when you play ?
For my main band, I have everything memorized but when I do these kinds of gigs with other bands I do use charts on an iPad. The app I use is called forScore.
@@ampthebassplayer Thanks for your answer ! I need to try...
Love your's videos when you play "live" 😘
i see that thunderbird lurking in the back, can we expect a vid on that one somewhere in the future?
Absolutely!
"No Drinks" hahaha! Like any punter is going to even read that, let alone actually not put their drink there.
Can’t blame ‘em for trying!
