Shim the neck to low action on a fender bass. Don't use saddles that low cause it kills sustain

Damn dude, do you ever leave the studio? Do your captors bring you food at least? Or do they make you just pump out the videos? Lol

The editing is way too busy.. So exhausting to watch

I think Sire basses are really good however I personally would recommend them only if you are in the US or maybe Europe, as in some countries (for example mine Chile) they are way too expensive even for the entry level, as the Sire V3 series are around the same price as Fender MIM bass (or even more expensive) at around 800-900 USD in local money and at that price point is maybe a good deal but IMO you have better options The quality and sound is amazing tho!

You are a cheapo,🤣🤣🤣you could buy a great American fender jazz bass pro II mint for $1200 or less with a case

Why do I need the interface to play live with computer midi software? I was hoping I could use the direct outs on my td50x module into front of house...Does the interface have multiple outputs?

Question: Do we must act as a retard to be a youtuber ?

Thank you was wondering on all of this getting a e set soon

Any good recommendations for the brain part of an electronic drum set? We have a good electronic drum set at our church but no matter which of the 3 tom's you hit, they sound the same. It's 10 year old "Brain".

why are you green screened into your own room? 😆

I would have gone for Sadowski's metro line

Is there a tutorial for how to set it so it plays the sounds externally through a headset or an amp.

Just stick with a P Bass and 4 strings. Nothing else is needed.

holy 7 minutes to say you got a Sire 💀

I get a new guitar, spend money to make it almost like old guitar. I winning!

Awesome tips, I use Google Docs to write my songs and every single document is in the same format. I'll try to use pen and paper, the rough and scratchy notes and doodling really sounds like it creates something more personal. Great video!

Find what works for you and your budget and enjoy playing, that's the most important thing. I've owned two Fender basses in 35 years of playing, all within the first like 5 years of me starting. My thing seems to be mostly 80s made in japan basses, primarily Matsumoku made with a 1997 Fujigen Ibanez being my most recent purchase (super cheap).

Your songs are really good! They definitely have a Green Day vibe to them.

I think I need to write with pen and paper again. I’ve been so used to typing my words into the note section of my phone. Maybe changing it up will be good. Thanks for the idea

Sandberg SL 5 strings are in the 6 lb. range and Sadowski chambered body 5 strings are in the 7 to light 8 lb. range. Both are expensive though...

I want my 12 minutes back. Stupid video.

just play the damn thing. No one really cares about how much or how little it costs. geez

dude your videos are so good!

Blasphemy❗😂😂

A USA Fender would blow that out of the water sorry to say

Mine was a candy apple red Fender USA Std pbass, maple fretboard and white guard… I haven’t been able to come by one I can afford/justify…

8:35 Pro Tip: Maybe try teleporting back to 2015 and not buying a Google Pixel sh*t phone? #themoreyouknow

I own two basses. They are both the same in every way except one is a 4 and one is a 5. The Schecter Studio series basses. Tonally versatile, reliable, and look great in any situation. The 5 I’ve owned (bought new) for nearly two decades) and I have so many memories with that bass but over time I’ve been getting the itch to get a 4 again so what better one to get than a 4 string version of a bass I’ve grown with and am very familiar with. Obviously no instrument is the same but when I first played the 4 string version it just felt like home. Great video man, subscribed!

You should definitely try out Cort GB Modern 5, it has much better hardware and electronics, and it's B string is awesome. Soundwise it's not a 100% jazz bass, it's more like a "modern boutique-ish version of jazz bass"

YUP! My first-gen 2016 Sire V7 5 is a keeper! The quality, features, and playability for the money are unbeatable! I can't believe the sustain this bolt-on bass has!!! I replaced the stock pickups, which sounded great, with some dual coil Bartolini J pickups and IT KILLS EVEN MORE THAN IT DID!!!

Shim it…?!

Another great option is a used prs kestrel bass. ~$500 Throw in a pair of Seymour Duncan Apollo pick ups or whatever you want, and Bobs your Uncle for ~ $700!!! No noise issues or inconsistent craftsman ship with kestrels, you get high mass bridge, beautiful fret board with bird inlays, decent tuning machines, around 9lbs, with no neck dive.

Okay, hear me out.... is the toneX the same, but more user friendly with the screen and half the price? I mean it has the best possible modelling "techniques" for lack of a better word, just like the kemper and sounds identical almost to the Amos it's modelling + can be easily adjusted and the same kind of effects included. Yiu can change the amp and cab to whatever combo you'd like and select the type of mic and the distance away jusy with a turn of a knob and a click. It's also the same as IK multimedia Amplitube but in a box plus some extras - and amplitube is fantastic. The modelling sounds identical - also it works like a real amount when you run pedals into it like distortion or fuzz etc. I can't decide between these 2 but I'm being pulled towards the IK multimedia Tonex amplitube amp modeller for these reasons. Does anyone disagree who knows both or either of them individually because I'd love to hear the pros and cons, please, if there is anyone who would be kind enough to let me know! Thank you in advance!

On that string retainer, have you considered adding a “sleeve”, so to speak? String tensioners seem to come with a fixed height, so it stands to reason that you could cut some steel tubing to the right length and run the screws through them so the tensioner looks beefier and the screw threads aren’t exposed. I just bought a V10 and plan to do this.

Yeah, Sire is the way to go. My main bass is a Sire P7 and it's amazing. I've never had any issues with the electronics, the pickups are great.

So you bought a fender copy to replace your fender it you didn’t want it at a bargain basement price. Then you need to spend money to fix the string tree, replace the pickups and fix the faulty electronics. Hmm by the time you’re finished you could have bought a better bass with better resale value.

Would this work with the Simmons sd1250?

I have connected a extra cymbal in the extra tom input but no matter how hard I hit it's volume is very low in Superior drummer 3. Please help!

wow amazing info, thanks for the effort to make this video! I read in comment you also own a Roland VAD edrum now, which one you prefer to use for drum recording now? How about sensitivity/dynamic? Expensive and cheap edrum set make any different in recording?

Fender has a better resale value. I like Fender 👍 American & Mexican.

bro has bots in his comments making it seem like people commented, if you bot your comment section you're a fake ass bitch

"I am ditching my Fender bass.... for a Fender copy..."

I was looking at this before i bought my SG 505. Happy with my Ibby but I can certainly see why this one would be preferable for many players. Look at the Bartolinis if you are thinking of an upgrade.

I'm down to just 3 basses now. My Dean 5 string electro-acoustic bass.. I changed the electrics to a fishman presys blend which gives me a beautiful deep woody tone similar to a double bass, my Chapman 5 string with it's 4 custom built jazz bass style pickups in 2 groups of two and with a push pull switch on the tone control which gives me either a normal jazz bass sound or push it down for twice the volume and my 4 string double bass. I also have a 5 string double bass in the pipeline which will be ready in the new year.

Fender designed the first, and it needs to be improved upon. Specifically the bridge. The bridge on that, and almost all basses hasn't really changed since the Eisenhower Administration. If you take the most advanced, high mass, blah blah blah bass bridge, it's structurally the same. Ray Ross is the only system that's fundamentally different. Anyway, Sire is doing great things.

I was a die hard Fender fan til I bought an Ernie Ball MM. It's like a Fender on steroids!

Sandberg basses have uktra lightweight 5 string Jazz Bass like models. You should try them. They are however quite expensive.

Can't understand why fender basses don't use tilted headstocks or 24 frets.

imo Fender and Gibson our beloved brands have outpriced themselves. I have more fun buying and setting up way cheaper guitars and basses.

I own 2 Sire's, a V7 and a V9, they're great basses, but still my Fender USA Elite Jazz beats these basses in overall built quality and sound. But I understand your decision, the sire pre-amp is so very versatile. So I am not selling but using all of these!
