Somehow, you managed to make your Double Bass sound like an electric!

[@eduardoGentile720]

Hey, he just said to make them sound identical

[@Oopyirdy]

He made a new video fixing his mistake, he said he accidentally used the electric bass recording for both videos

[@pedgedemos]

@@Oopyirdy I thought so, I was gonna say “Dude get rid of that Bull Fiddle if it sounds like that”

How to make an electric bass sound like an upright. First step, make your upright sound like an electric bass.

[@theolympiyn8670]

He died the same audio file for both

[@AL-ry5ly]

Nailed it imo. A good neck pickup can sound so warm

You're one of my biggest discoveries on the tube maybe ever - amazing stuff man

[@johnhermann5301]

Bro he literally recorded electric bass over the double bass, you can hear the frets when it shows him playing double bass

[@charlesleonard9496]

Honestly, with the pickup you’re using there, the upright sounds like an electric bass. You are losing the quality from the body’s resonance.

[@psychwardsandSCENE]

that's the entire point. he couldn't make an ebass sound like a standup, so he "low key" did the other

[@kaspernylen1275]

@@psychwardsandSCENEnot the point, he made a mistake

[@alanomie]

Love the Miles Davis. Classy touch.

[@jesterram7146]

I feel like this test would work a lot better if you used a mic instead of a pickup for the upright cause the resonance of an upright is integral to the tone

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

The Black Nylon Tape Wound Strings did it, it sounds more like an amplified Double Bass, you can also use Omni Bass Strings. Historically the Bass Guitar was originally designed to replace the Double Bass because it's easier to Carry, easier to play in tune, plus the pickups and amp give it more punch. The extra punch from the Electric Bass is also because the Double Bass is Acoustically compromised (like the Viola) as it's scaled down from the optimal size that would be appropriate for those low notes.

[@florianmuller2377]

WTF you can hear the frets on the upright 😂

[@Putreix]

No you cant

[@TankTimeBoomTimeOfficial]

frets...?

you just put the electric bass sound while playing the upright. They have the exact same sound.

[@user-rb1ck6ox8i]

It sounded brilliant.

[@maradegrande8288]

There is an error he used the same sound of the electrical behs for the double behs

the same audio was used for both examples lol

that is amazing!

[@InYourDreams-Andia]

Whow! Impressive! I'm gonna get those strings!

[@nugboy420]

I actually picked up a fretless 5 string in the guitar shop the other day, and I fell in love haha. I’d be way too inconsistent with a fretless tho.

[@HamburgerPizza666]

Sick dude🤘😵‍💫

[@dinahnicest6525]

I came close to an upright sound with my fretless Fender PJ, Acoustic 370 amp. 18" CV speaker and a 15" EV speaker, and Ernie Ball flatwound strings: 55, 75, 95, 110 gauge.

[@crazyman8472]

Sounds good! 😎

[@superbassnerd]

Is it just me, or is there a fretted sliding sound on the upright?

[@cormacbohren3175]

There is, dunno what's up with that

[@superbassnerd]

@@cormacbohren3175 he accidentally put the bass guitar audio over the footage of both the guitar and the upright. He fixed it in another video

I solemnly believe that you can make any music work with any instrument, it's just a matter of how much work you put in, and in this case it doesn't have to be an incredible amount of work

[@johnnysays9629]

Makes me want to light a candle and put sunglasses on.

I was actually blown away from how similar the electric bass sounded. Holy shit! Behs!!

[@brokenteethalbumreviews5388]

Man your videos really did justice on me practicing

[@scottbrower9052]

Wow. Very impressive.

[@Surlymtb]

Closest I've ever heard personally was a Godin A5 fretless with flatwounds(obvs)

[@roadtonever]

Bridge pickup with precise EQ is the correct answer.

[@davidhowe5415]

Short answer: No. I've been trying for decades. Now I just drag the doghouse around when that's what I need.

[@sgjbnvbeusyhahbj]

"behs" will always get me.

[@paoloalcantara2465]

I’ve never encountered an acoustic BEHS pickup/preamp like that one.

[@attentiondeficitsquirrel7660]

Pulling out the Miles Davis. Nice.

[@TheSteelDialga]

Your double bass already doesn't sound like a double bass

[@johnhermann5301]

It doesn’t help that you can hear the frets😂

[@lumm0x267]

Try moving your plucking hand to around the 18th fret and play there, it sorta gets the sound of an upright

[@oliplaysbass]

Strangely enough my MA production research project was on how close you could make the bass sound like a double bass. After many sleepless nights & days in time the studio & library researching, I would summarise the result of my findings to ‘sort of but not really’. This sounded pretty close though. Depends also if you want to do it acoustically using similar components such as similar type of strings & hollow body or through using effects.

[@BarbarianKingAKABK]

Jaco pastorius is def like that, he got a double bass when he was a kid and one day he wokeup the double bass got destroyed and he bought a jazz bass took the frets off

[@WilDBeestMF]

It happened several times due to weather changes. Seriously must have been a pain in the butt lol

[@thearvid123456789]

why did you but the electric bass sound sample over the upright bass?

[@layz_gaming_4275]

Yeah thats what I'm saying. Like does nobody know what an upright sounds like

[@2much4head4u]

Just wondering why you put an electric fretted bass noise over the part where you played the upright

[@andrepalomaro353]

The closest ive gotten to the standup bass sound is on a squier fender Jbass on the low B string. Get some real good quality, deep booming bass strings

[@BH-zc6hu]

I got the sound with neck pickup, tone off, palm mute, and a felt pick

[@brandonshortt1770]

So what, absolutely great tune

[@jimsmowingofficial]

I can remember at a band rehearsal I got a pretty good double bass-ish sound by using my shitty 15W practice amp (all I had) as a DI into our PA. Sounded really cool

[@technologicallyilliterate]

Honestly, I think you might get even closer with those strings and a Hofner 500/1 violin bass.

[@factenter6787]

The piece was a small part of the bass line by Paul Chambers on So What by Miles Davis & John Coltrane

[@touffedaviau8370]

...why am I hearing frets in that double bass recording? 😅

Dam, it’s the same exact recording from the electric bass

[@guitarfox8316]

Recently got a free double bass the sound post had fallen the side was separating at the c shaped cutaway it was missing the bridge the tuners the tailpiece and the end pin also it had a huge crack in the top (sorry for butchering the terminology I’m aspiring guitar builder not as knowledgeable in viols )all the required parts total to around $400 US dollars and I’m not sure I want to pay that for a free instrument but I’m going to start a change jar and put some of my allowance in every day until I can get what I need

[@The_Guy_Who_Asked72]

Dude never get rid of free instruments if they can be saved, it's so much more rewarding to play an instrument you fixed than a new one imo

[@juffurey]

I've always loved the bass tone on Oye Como Va. It sounds acoustic but it's not!

[@sciencefan9531]

There's a better way to create a doublebass-esque tone. Get yourself a Höfner, mount a piezo onto it, and split it 50/50 (or whatever sounds best) with the neck pickup. Sounds really awesome

[@wilhelmtheconquerer6214]

Neck pickup, tone rolled off, flats and fretless. If it's a hollow body, even better

[@magicbeanparty9324]

Oof that’s definitely the same sound clip… you can hear the frets on the upright track… like it’s ok if it didn’t work

[@jamesmccormick875]

Sounds close, but you can still tell. In a mix of instruments, it would be harder to tell.

[@George-hg6mx]

I LOVE SO WHAT

[@evans5172]

Only ever had one set of the Rotosound tru bass black nylons and they lasted less than 2 weeks and the black nylon outer coating unraveled. And that was on a fretless jazz bass playing with fingers, no pick.

Shove a kitchen sponge under the strings on the electric... Down by the bridge. That's an ancient trick.

Why would you install a pickup on a double bass unless youre playing with a bow, it loses any resemblance due to the acoustics of the body

[@Thatonememmeguy]

Can you play seven Nation army

[@Ichiy0k]

Im trying out the double bass, but that sounds way higher than the one i play

[@KH0RNE]

In my experience, using a wooden material to pickup the sound is much more accurate to how the upright bass actually sounds. Ive played this instrument for about 2 and a half years, and id say you did a 7/10 job. Good try.

[@Ripper7ix]

There is something very strange or my hearing is failing, in the part of the gliss in the upright, a metallic sound sounds (sound of the fret when sliding from one note to another), identical to the electric bass, my theory is that the same one was used audio for both videosz is it that or my hearing got worse.

[@rachitjuyalmusic]

mmmmm crispy
