Billy Sheehan, also known as the guy that does what most bass teachers prevent you from doing on the bass and does it amazingly
@saintlotus9311 жыл бұрын
He's always been a bassist. I went to a bass clinic of his and he said he picked up bass first because he thought it looked cooler, and the "cool guy" in his neighborhood played bass. He also said he thought the guitar looked lame :P

I've been watching billy's vids for a few years now and ive only just noticed how light his strings are
@qdaveq65979 жыл бұрын
Shaun Luxon His strings are .43 - 110. Essentially a standard guage Rotosound set with a slightly lighter G and a heavier E. So not especially light.

BASSically, the only pickups you should play are DiMarzios. Literally the finest pickups out there. If only these fit onto my bass, they sound fantastic.

I had a DiMarzio pickup that was designed as a substitute for an Eb0 or an Eb3 front pickup on my vintage Gibson Eb3.It was every bit as good as an original.If there others are as good as that one and the ones I hear Billie Sheehan using here,I think they are well worth using.I would like to see a demonstration or demonstrations of there whole line of Bass guitar pickups,without distortion and played with fingers first.A pick and/or distortion throws off the real sound of the instrument or in this case the pick up.Hey, people at DiMarzio, Let's hear those pick ups!!

@thenewyorkpauls7 жыл бұрын
bjørn Edvardsen I don't know what he's using now but he used to use a Gibson EB style neck pickup (sidewinder or "mudbucker") for that "subwoofer" low-end amp. DiMarzio make both the Will Power and Model One in the size of the Gibson EB pickup also and I believe billy has used one or both of those too.

DutchPs3Gamers - Nope. Billy cites Paco de Lucia as one of his main influences.
Dimarzio made the alchemy 101 soapbars and then never again has made another soapbar for bass. It really sucks because i love the pickups but i build Modern style basses and like the look and tone of a soapbar. Come on Dimarzio! Step it up.
