@@yourmomlovespenis Haha, I'm not personally a huge fan of the band. I believe that specific trick originates from the 60s, with figures like Eddie Kramer, George Martin, and Phil Spector using it heavily, so it definitely predates them by quite a bit. However, as with most things, people tend to associate a sound with whoever they first heard it from, so I'd assume for the OP, that would be Van Halen.
PLEASSEEEE do more of these J-Punk videos. You put me onto so many good bands with these, and it's really cool to hear the differences between these styles and the American punk I grew up with.
Great video! Japanese rock music is just so wicked. The tones for guitar and bass are always so good. Super cool to see Mass of the Fermenting Drags get mentioned in this video!
Good video, and it’s great how you mentioned Mass of the Fermenting Dregs. They’re a great band and are some professionals. I saw them live, and partway through their set, they lost all vocals going to their in-ear monitors for around 5 songs, so they were pretty much singing for around 20 minutes without being able to hear themselves (to make corrections). Outside of a couple notes sung slightly flat, they sang perfectly. If they didn’t tell us about the technical difficulties I probably wouldn’t have noticed they were having monitor issues. And again, great video. My playing style definitely changed a bit after hearing the bass in some great Japanese bands over the past decade or so (Band-Maid and Suspended 4th to name a few).
Get a bass with a P/J pickup loadout for the most tones. I would also mention that a Rickenbacker 4001 and a Thunderbird Bass are some awesome bass guitars in Punk too!
@SugarpillProd For the Rickenbacker I was thinking of Bruce Foxton from The Jam and Stiff Little Fingers. For the Thunderbird I was thinking of Tim Wheeler from Ash. But yeah, cool basses. If you mix both (Rickenbacker bass with Thunderbird pickups) you get Lemmy and Motorhead!🤪👍✨ The reason you hear P Basses and J Basses has more to do with they were easier to record in studios because they are the "Standard Bass Sound" back in the day. Producers can just easily punch them in and whether it's a Fender or a copy, they all relatively function and sound the same. With other basses you have to spend more time dialing them in and more time fitting them into the final mix. Plus most basses are more expensive that a P Bass or a J Bass, so there is that.🤔

Very long time ago when I just found out about basses, I thought j-bass actually means "japanese bass" because of how ow often japanese bands are using them.
It's cute that people think Japanese Punk bands started this. Most of these techniques have been around in one way or another since the inception of the UK and US punk scenes nearly 50 years ago. Shame that doesn't fit the cute little Weeb narrative you've got going.
Nobody is suggesting that Japanese punk bands started this all on their own, though you seem entirely oblivious to the fact that the earliest forms of J-Punk began in the late '70s, so I suppose that’s your adorable ‘50 years ago’ narrative out the window. The video is simply highlighting the sonic differences that some forms of Eastern punk have compared to their Western counterparts. But it’s cute how even the smallest of things can bring out the xenophobia in some.
Hahaha, oh wait! You're the same person who tried to argue earlier that this is all irrelevant because they do this in 2000s indie, completely missing the fact that everything here predates that entire scene. I wonder what's with the narrative shift? 🤔 Looks like you deleted your comment when you got called out for your clear lack of basic history on the subject anyway. Nice one mate, really racking up the L's now, aren't you? 😂

Guitar on one side of the stereo field and its reverb on the other is the classic Van Halen trick.
Yup, it's been a good trick forever. Especially when you're working with a guitarist who is, let's say, a little inconsistent of a player 😂
Yeah, clearly Van Halen invented it🤮

Good example of this is Teenagers by mcr! Check it out

That's awesome to hear! I'm sure I'll be making a few more in the future. Thanks for watching!

THAT TONE
Have to shout out Guitar Wolf, they came from Japan and rocked Nashville's world this summer!!
Guitar wolf is on the local garage rock label in my city(goner records). They’re great.
Great video! Japanese rock music is just so wicked. The tones for guitar and bass are always so good. Super cool to see Mass of the Fermenting Drags get mentioned in this video!

Was this their show in Hollywood recently? The same technical difficulties happened but it didn’t slow them down! What professionals
@ Yeah, that was the show. Definitely professionals to be able to keep playing like that
This is the most punk rock channel on all of UA-cam!!🤯
Great video!👏 It makes J-punk all the more interesting. That Melt Banana example is a perfect showcase of the typical StingRay sound.
eastern youth! gism! blue hearts mentioned!
🙌
AND MOTFD!!

100%. I think Hirochan from Otoboke Beaver uses a Thunderbird, and it always sounds awesome in their chaotic mixes!

The bass riff you're playing at the end kicks ass!
Thank you, I appreciate it!

Thanks for watching!
Very long time ago when I just found out about basses, I thought j-bass actually means "japanese bass" because of how ow often japanese bands are using them.
maybe they just thought the J in J Bass stood for Japan
That and the fact Fender makes a Japanese range of guitars too, haha.
❤
This video was far too short!
Haha I do like to keep them short 😅
Mass of fermenting dregs just did a live in my country last month
That's awesome 🙌
