Bass Tone | Peter Steele | Type O Negative
"Me and this guy are the same species."
You're a vampire?!?!
Good one XD
But... if that were true Peter would be here,
Now... today.
Only his sound vampire's on
and still, metaphorically, going for blood. . . 😮 🦹
🥷 on bass, voice, he was.
🆗😎🆒🎸🎼
@@paulpennington-mv7rt I think he uses a Vampire pedal as well.
Obviously! Hes British!
Maybe they're both horses...?
Its something i would definitely be telling my viewers and anyone else that had ears
The fact that he hot glued it in place is freaking hilarious
I imagine that was because when they first started touring as a small band they were playing small clubs and bars where the audience was right there able to fall onto his pedals or some drunk reach out and dick with his shit. The first time I saw TON was in a small club when they first toured for Bloody Kisses and his head was literally a couple of inches from the ceiling, haha. He was playing a couple of feet away on a small stage directly in front of me. At the end of their show he pulled all of the strings off of his bass by hand like a fucking barbarian and tossed them out to people. I was one of the people that got one and I still have it.
@@Doctor-Shoebill cool
@@Doctor-ShoebillINSANE LUCK!
Imagine if someone messed with the settings and reglued it. He probably would freak out haha
He also tuned to B on a 4 string. That impacted the tone as well. Nicely done, mate!
So B E A D?
@@backwardslashYes, they were configured in the B standard
Did he tune down or use a bead bass??????
@@PIKL_Creep I think he tuned down. Which Bass has a great video on his rig, ua-cam.com/video/822NEtr4YHY/v-deo.html
Actually Type O was in the Drop D But good try.
The superglue idea made me laugh hard. So simple and easy if you once got your preferred setting just never ever touch it again! 😂
It’s hot glue! Which comes off much more easily
@@michaelpacinus242also, super glue is a brand name. It's actually called cyanoacrylate.
@@cameronvadnais4388 you can tell on the video it’s not any brand of CA. It’s hot glue. Read.
@@cameronvadnais4388you're the type of guy that calls Band-Aids adhesive bandages, aren't you.
Clearly never took any pedals out of your bedroom
(deep breath) BE MY DRUIDESS! BE MY EEEVERYTHIIIING!
I'll do anything.....
BE MY-HIIII-IIIIIIII-YIIIIIIIIII-IIIIIIII-YIIIIIII
🫠❤
@@serenitygilles7064to make you
You nailed it! Long live Type O!!!!
The only thing missing is copious amounts of feedback
he also mixed the heavily processed signal with a clean signal, which allowed it to still sound weighty and cut through the guitars
This is one of the gnarliest BEHS tones I’ve ever heard
This is one of the most unique sounding basses I've ever listened to.
Peter Steele was a real living legend, man.
Sadly it is not anymore at our side...
R.I.P 1962-2010
sounds horrible.
Steele always had a cool, unique sound. It always felt like a machine that's running.
R.I.P. Peter Steele. That man was a real legend.
So thankful I had a chance to see them play live.
Me too.
One of the perks of being old. 😆
Absolute wall of sound they were
Me too! I remember the backdrop was deep woods with fog! Fit the music perfectly!
Type o negative still has to be the most underrated band ever
jesus christ his tone is fucking amazing
Day 2 of asking for Les Claypool’s Behs tone.
I second this
@@C_475 Ah, so we meet again. Fellow Primus fan. I know we’ll get this video one day.
I want this
Depends on the era, but it's mostly steel rounds with varying levels of tube preamp overdrive and a just enough compression to even things out. Boost your lowest frequencies, cut the low mids a little, boost the high mids a little and the treble just enough to make chords shine. Dude dabbles in all kinds of effects, but you can get the basic sounds from a number of amps and preamp pedals, more easily using one with bi-amped or blendable distortion.
@@alexcomixinc some day so we can all suck
I met him in Cincinnati after a show in the late 90s. One of the Nicest human beings I’ve ever met. My little brother had just gotten into heavier music and he loved TON. Steele went out of his way to be cool to him. Great dude.
Goddamn, Superman plays bass! “Man of Steel” indeed!
HAPPY 30 YEARS OF BLODDY KISSES 💚🖤
Peter is a goddamn legend.
Peter Steele aye? Well fitting name for that tone
BEEEEE MYYYY DRUIDESSSSS
BEEEE MYYYY EEEEVERYYYYTHIIIIII-HIIIIIING
BE MY EVERYTHINGGGGG
First time I saw him in Kerrang I thought “Peter Steele is what I imagine The Kurgen from Highlander to sound and sing like if he were a rock star!”
Needless to say it was enough cause for me to buy a Type O Negative album
They went mad for it cause Pete's a fucking legend.
Peter's Esh Stinger bass also had a piezo pickup system mounted in the bridge, which accounted for that extra top-end sizzle you hear on songs like Be My Druidess.
Could u pleeease do Krist Novoselic, his bass sound is just so iconic and chilling I need to know how to recreate it.
I also want this one
Replying to boost this
that's easy. the lower the strap, the more tone
@@e_j_ ah! Now that makes alotta sense! Thank you 🙏
I'd really love to hear this too
He was a real one of a kind.
The closest you've gotten to matching tone yet. Except for that time you used the same audio for both lol
Hahahaha.....that one was hillarious
Honestly you could have told me this was the same audio and I would have believed you. He nailed it
Must resist the temptation of correcting his usage of “super glue” when it should have been “hot glue”😂
Maybe it was E6000
But I only say that bc I just can’t see Peter with a hot glue gun LMAO
there was a little something extra in yours but pretty damn spot on. way closer than i couldve gotten. well done.
Room acoustics
No it was an E that should’ve been an Eb
Cheers Danny! Very happy to see this!
If you were playing a 35" scale tuned to B with 5-string-size strings (and I think maybe a smattering of delay), that'd be REAL hard to tell from the real deal.
I love your videos! That crack about species killed me! I was rolling.
Video idea: Danny Sapkos favorite bass string list
Steele had tweeters in his bass cabinets, he was creating ring modulation, this is a huge part of his tone that everyone who makes videos like these misses usually entirely, Steele was basically doing the drum & bass reece bass thing with a bass guitar (for those that actually know how the real reece was created on the Casio CZ, it wasn't two saw waves detuned slightly, and it wasn't detuned at all, it was wavefolding phase distortion because the synth didn't have filters, so as the wave folded back on itself to create modulation, ring modulation would occur as a result on the reece bass), this is also why Steeles bass tone was very high end and midrange heavy, the tweeters along with the BOSS Chorus gave him a lot of his signature sound with the DS-1 Distortion.
We may have lost the man but his incredible tone and vision live on.
I love PEH-ters Behs tone.
Met Pete once. Truely sweet human. His passing was a tragedy.
Fucked nailed it, man!
Great video!
Can you do Mike Starr please?
Out of all the musicians that have passed on, Peter is the one I miss the most.
Thought you meant his voice and looked forward to hearing your voice chang. 😂
Dead on with the axe though.
Great job 👏🏻
Pete may have joked about sounding horrible, but he was definitely very original in his thinking with effects/feedback/signal. Very creative bassist with a great voice.
You are missed Pete.
Hey man, I don't know if you see this but let me tell you I love your videos! :D Your positive energy always brings a smile on my face, keep up the good content brother!
Positive energy maybe, but the negativity and hate (he uses the word hate) towards extended range instruments and his judgmental critiques on things like playing style and where you hold your instrument sours me. I give the guy chance after chance, I really do…. But, even just the arrogance around changing the spelling of bass…. Maybe I’ll come around to him, and covering Peter Steele helped… but something about this Plucky Brit turns me off… just my opinion
@@MainelyW212 B E H S
Well done!
Sounds damn good 👍🏻
RIP to a legend.
Also excellent job recreating the sound.
cuz we love type o negative and we love you dan
Perfect thank you
Nailed it
Thank you very much for the video, I was looking for exactly how the bass distortion was done in that song (Be My druides), one of the best by the way
Ooof, that's a beautiful B E H S. What make and model is it ?
Super simple, super effective.
You absolutely nailed this one.
RIP Pete Steele
THANK YOU I LOVE YOUR VIDEOOOS
urcool
he should do Jerry's bass tone next
Duuuuuuude. Friggin glued down. Hahahahah yessss
THAT IS SO FIRE 🔥
Type O Negative is legendary.
Gluing the settings on the pedal sounds like Peter all right. RIP Green Man.
Well done! Thanks for this ❤
Thank you
Type o was so good and Pete's voice was absolutely fucking incredible
WIsh he was still here❤
Type O Negative is one of THE greatest bands to have ever existed.
Every album is their best album.
Every song is their best song.
RIP Peter Steele Type O forever
🗣️ BEEE MY DRUIDESS BEEEE MY EVERYTHIIINNNNGGGG ‼️‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯
Thats the sound, nice man!
Just bought a super-chorus and stumbled on this video, this in my new favorite tone. PERIOD.
Great !
Peter steele is a BABE ❤😩
Was
love peter so much
Now just imagine 7ft tall Pete over here, violently hot gluing this tiny pedal and mumbling to himself that no one's ever messing with his settings again
We miss you green guy
Dude that's got to be as close as possible! Nice job man! ❤
So happy for this video to come to finally be reality. Also, I'm pleasantly surprised to see all the love for Peter Steele's bass sound here in the comments, seeing as its a pretty radical sound. But truly, it's amazing and original. I'm gonna have to go on a Type O binge now.
“Can you believe that me and this guy are the same species?” that killed me
Hot glued
In order to get his tone correctly you need to get a bass that’s 15% larger than the average size. There’s a bar in Brooklyn that Peter frequently went to, and they have his green and black bass on display. It’s enormous. The bar is called Duffs btw
Peter had some really unique and interesting bass lines throughout his career not all of which were distorted...he also had this nice smooth almost upright tone with some sort of tapewounds...besides being one of the biggest writers in type o negative and having this ultimate low voice and still being able to hit the high registers pretty effortlessly...well...he was the epithome of bass...hence why people went mad over this...yet he is often overlooked somehow...but seriously...some killer lines and the use of powerchords and octaves...and a very unique sonic quality to the whole band...good job mate, nailed it...i only have to add..his bass and kenny hickey's guitar had "sustainiac" pickup which could make their notes ring indefinitely creating those low drones band is known for
The perfect coment doesnt exis-
@@Bastos. hahah ;) love for the misfits btw
I don't think any of us are the same species as Peter Steele. He was one of a kind.
Love your videos it makes me want to pick up Bass again! It’s been 23 years since I played used to have a Fender P Bass.
Peter is the best bass player ever. Funny that he was left handed, imagine if he used a left handed bass?? 🤯
Eddie Jackson from Queensryche next?
Beater Stills Piss tone sounds great :)
"Hey Pete, I think the tech messed up the knobs on your pedal when he was plugging it in again."
"Damnit... Alright, I'm fixing this once and for all. Someone get me a hot glue gun."
Be My Druidess !!!!! Be My everything!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Nice 🤘
Chris Squire Chris Squire Chris Squire!
nicely done!
Perfect. I liked his playing. Miss Type O!!
Thanks Danny🙏🙏
Also, almost everything in stereo! That's what made it very unique.
Elephant Gym pls
You're so good at this sheesh 😂
Holy crap… you freaking nailed it to a t
"Can you beleive me and this guy are the same species" I'm dead 😂
BE MY DRUIDESS 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥‼️‼️
His bass tone is what the color green would sound like.
my favorite bass sound from them on this one
I love Type One Getive
Wow the same. I think I have a good Peter Steele sound but your info helped a lot. Thanks
