I've seen so many guys say "I could never play bass. You need huge, strong hands." Then here comes tiny CiCi The Hammer, just making it look easy. As a guitarist, I never thought I'd like to watch bass videos, but I watch every one of these. Keep them coming!

To be fair, the nut width on that Ibanez range is very small and the necks are razor thin. It's literally like a child's toy bass neck, but she seems to get around okay on other basses all the same.

right, so what you're saying is that they THINK they need strength, and YOU didn't correct them or help them. Really you should work on your story telling so you don't come off as a jerk and a white knight for Cici...
@sundaynightdrunk2 ай бұрын
@@matthouston8411 White-knighting for her would be if they said "girls can't play bass" or "Cici can't play bass." It's the opposite; they say *they* can't play bass. Hard to correct them or help them when I don't know them; I've just seen it around the internet. Lighten up.

Excellent tones and, from a selfish perspective, useful data to see reverb pedals tested on bass. Still amazes me that Rats are so reasonably priced, sometimes cheaper than the things which try to copy them.

Just a shame i didnt carry on with bass or guitar until into my 50s. But cant live with regrete, just keep moving Forward. Great video, really nice sounds from all of them tbh. Apart from two that didnt go well together, the distortion and reverb, unfortunately writing this ive already forgot the names lol. My memory is bad lol.

Hey Cici. You mentioned before that you see sound as colours too. Does that mean that stagelight could mess up your "Feel"? Can a mirrorball destroy your tone because you cannot see the colours? Or do your ears overpower vision(s)? Do you set tone by ear or by vision? Or both? And what does a wah do to the colours? Is that like a liquid light show from the 60's? ......So many questions.

@charliecarrot Жыл бұрын
In my experience, the Katana 110 can get louder and cleaner than the Fender Rumble 100, even though it has less watts than the rumble (and a smaller speaker). And the Rumble 100 is definitely gigable. People who say you need a 500w 4x10 to gig are either playing really loud metal or they've lost some hearing. That being said, you'll definitely be pushing the Rumble 100 if you're playing with a loud drummer. Perfect size for small rooms and jazz or acoustic gigs.
