[@althewicked]

Very nice Bass sound! Is the Avalon U5 a big part from your tone? I go direct in to the RME UCX 2 but Im not very happy with my sound and think about buying a decent Bass preamp. Do you think its a big difference between the Hi-Z RME input and the U5? Thanks!

[@ALIONBASS]

I only use the U5 bass track for reamping (in this case through Bass POD XT Pro). So, no direct U5 sound here. The bass frequencies on the U5 are really great, for me it's perfect to start with. Don't know how it compares to the RME. Succes!

[@MONEYMINDSET-ENTERTAINMENT]

Could you please drop the basslines in audio format!

[@ostersundskulturskola8635]

Fantastic playing! Whats the name of the tune youre playing at 4.54?

[@ALIONBASS]

Thanks! That is 'Scientist - Dangerous Match 1'

Salut Alain, excellent ! dis moi , ton Bass POD pro XT est en version rack noire encastrable ou plutôt la rouge avec des patch bass ? merci pour ta réponse ! ( ps: tu est coté frontière belge ou plutot bruxelle ? )

Up Shim Cherry Dub, from the album 'Original King Key Dub' by King Tubby.

[@juiswhoiam1149]

Hi Alain. Can you share how you dial in the settings to get that amazing bass sound!?

[@ALIONBASS]

Thanks, I just picked a sound from my bass pod and added some eq to taste (boost some bass and cut a little mids and highs).

[@jubantonl]

@@ALIONBASS ah! Nice man. Thanks. I found i always have trouble figuring out what mid frequency I should be cutting. What would you suggest?

[@ALIONBASS]

@@jubantonl It depends on the bass itself, but mostly I cut a few dB's around 500 Hz (or a little higher) on my jazz bass.

[@lementecdavid9243]

Bravo c est droit

[@AndreasA91]

amazing playing! can anyone help me understand how to identify a Rub a Dub song? is it the bass ? the drums? thank you!

[@Diego86a]

It’s hard to tell, there’s no pattern but a good way to get it is on it’s seeing. Rub a Dub comes from a dance style where the man and woman rubs up very close together and grind their hips to the beat. If you feel like whining up your waste while listen to a reggae song, high chances of it to be RubAdub

[@AndreasA91]

@@Diego86a it seems like it;p thanks a lot brother!

[@AndreasA91]

only pattern i came across is the kick on one and three. @@Diego86a

[@peppymus]

Hello, I love your sound, could you show me the settings of the potentiometers of your amplifier, I would like to learn how many bass, mid and treble I have to put in the amplifier to get such a round sound! you play great

[@ALIONBASS]

Thanks! I recorded this one through a bass pod, don't remember the settings. But in general: boost the bass, cut the treble and adjust the mids, depending on the sound of your bass.

[@reggaebass1857]

What’s the song at 4.12 , I’ve played it years ago and can’t remember ☝️

[@maasaigeordie]

It's mad how everyone is using 5 string basses now. I don't have a problem with this, but surely it's not necessary. Could someone explain?

[@ALIONBASS]

Simple, extended range and more possibilities; some basslines of modern reggae tunes go below E. Also, when you play a bassline higher up the neck and you want to add a low F for example, you don't have to jump 5 frets down to the headstock. In this case I could have used a 4-string, but I love the sound of this bass.

[@maasaigeordie]

@@ALIONBASS ​ @ALIONBASS I get you brother. However I'm not gonna buy a 5 string in a hurry though. The problem I have with the 5th string is because it's making the neck wider just for a string that I might only use once in a while. (a bit like a tremolo on a guitar). If I ever play a 5 string bass I know that the extra string would annoy the fck out of me. When I made the cross-over from guitar to bass, I owned a jazz bass and I don't think I would've taking to playing the bass as much as I did had it not been for the thin neck on it.

[@ALIONBASS]

@@maasaigeordie Yes I understand. I had the same issue when I played my first 5-string, it was a big difference and I even stopped playing it for a years because it felt so weird. But over time I adapted my playing style and now I feel more comfortable on a 5 than on a 4.
