GREGOR'S RECORDING PEDALBOARD

[@basstheworldofficial]

Audio-wise this is an experimental episode. Please bare with me while I figure out how to produce these new videos!

[@squishy949]

Really enjoyed this episode, I love your normal highly produced gear demos but hearing you talk a little more informally is very interesting too. I think perhaps there is a bit much of the acoustics of the bass coming through the mics while you're playing? Perhaps gating or compressing the mic audio with the direct recording could help. Very jealous of the Ampeg Sub Blaster.

[@keithkenyon3845]

still sounds great, man!!! love this channel and love hearing YOU play too!

[@imagesofstyle]

Obligatory pedantry: can I keep my clothes on, and bear with you instead? :)

[@peterveres2942]

I think you should combine your formal demos with guest players with this more informal/adlibbed commentary. It’s nice to see both performance demos and how to sit down and think about how to approach the new in combination with what you already have. It’s how I ended up adding the Mini Jive to my YYZ. But I think I’m going to put it in front instead of behind. Great job as usual.

[@Moxymury]

Say it with me everyone: Gregor 👏 is 👏 wonderful 👏

[@stefanopuccini]

Gregor: “I like it simple, I don’t want to pick out among 10 drive pedals” First pedal: EQ with distortion Second pedal: distortion Third pedal: another distortion Gregor you are my hero.

[@18JR78]

😂 I have a similar problem

[@18JR78]

Gregor, it’s 2021. We’re done self-deprecating. Be proud of your accomplishments man. 🤘

What I really like about your videos is your joy in bass. You share what you like, and I seem to like the same stuff. I hope this works out so we can continue to share this joy :)

[@mattrodela2030]

Your raw bass tone from your fingers and bass is rocking.

[@lavadoraautomatica1]

Is nice to hear you play Gregor been a fan for years brother.

[@CrossFitDelVal]

René, Frank, Lars, etc., are the bomb but I LOVE to hear Gregor play!

[@DavidCaraccio]

Great demo & playing Gregor! U ruuule 🤟🏻

[@marcokoolen6369]

I realy like your video's... thanks for demonstrating the Ampeg pedal.

[@BartFunkBass]

Sick grooves!

[@PingPongPix]

Great demo. Lovely to see YOUR choice of pedals for the board you use. 😀

[@Phillisteum]

Excellent video! Please carry on showing your gear, how you record bass, and anything you're passionate about! Long live the Bass!!!

[@slacker42uk]

This guy is great. Love his sense of humour

[@Metalbass1979]

At 3:26, you said it best. A little bit of extra 'nyeh'. My Big Muff is great for that, especially while feeding it with the EHX Bass Soul Food.

[@bartdevuyst]

Lovely distorted sounds!

[@ziobenti]

I wasn't familiar with Jam pedals. Thanxs for this video.

[@DannoDemo]

Great board and very dynamic possibilities! I understand I'm about a year late, but I'm inquisitive about why no compressor pedal? My main reason is that many bassists say they have one that is always on OR they despise them and that compressors can be a "crutch" for technique. I was hoping you might enlighten us about your thoughts on the subject of compression as you have/have not needed it in your career. Thank you!

[@basstheworldofficial]

I love compressors, but prefer to add them later in the chain or in post when recording

[@raelmerry5932]

I thought that bass had the jive built in? Are you double jiving?

[@basstheworldofficial]

not anymore. at some point I missed the tone control too much.

[@shabisan]

Hi Gregor. As usual - a very informative and clear video, as should be. But seeing another effects video brings up a question I'd like you to address at some point - a few analogue pedals or a multi effect packs

[@AndrewMagrini]

What kind of pedalboard is that? Interested in the input/output jacks being a part of the board itself!

[@basstheworldofficial]

the board and the patch bay are from Temple Audio

[@zulu5157]

:-) when you think it is perfect and feeling satsisfied with your board and there is still a little longing to add something. Very interresting video

[@SquareWaveSymphonies]

Da standest du aber auch vor deiner Pedalsammlung und hast dir gedacht: "Welche sind die größten Pedale, die ich auf das Board packen kann?", oder? XD Tolles Video, wie immer!

[@basstheworldofficial]

Nee, dafür habe ich zu viele EHX und MuTrons. Davon würden zum Teil nur 2 auf das Board passen 😉

[@SquareWaveSymphonies]

@@basstheworldofficial Manches Vintage EHX-Pedal geht ja selbst schon als Board durch von der Größe her. XD Einen schönen Tag dir dann noch und danke für die Antwort. :D

[@gorillafunk725]

Cheers Gregor for sharing your unique & very creative OCD. Gotta say The Ampeg & jive combo. Seriously? Its stank face eargasmotron territory! WooHoo I LIKE IT! 🤩 For me the tone weapon sleeper is the Rheingold. Like Noble or Vermuran the Stradivarius of pedal tone nicersisers. Expensive? Yes in comparison to lesser pedals. But relative to the above top tier of the tone heap not that bad. The relentless pursuit of THAT tone is a seriously addictive drug Thanks to class acts like the wetter bass & your team. I'm now a shameless tone slut junky. I might check out pov stricken & peniless. But as long as my bass rig gives GREAT tone. I will die happy! Thanks Bass The World!

[@No.0.o.0]

what is that main bass?

[@brentheathersimons7042]

Gregor you are far too tough on yourself regarding your bass playing! Excellent video! Best wishes- Brent, VT USA

[@mikeycisme]

Great video Gregor! Your enthusiasm is contagious and since I started watching your channel I've gone from zero to 12 pedals I'm experimenting with. I was wondering - what practice amp do you use at home? What is your preferred amp/rig for recording bass mic'd?

[@basstheworldofficial]

my practice amp is a Phil Jones Briefcase, although I never really practice ;)

[@basstheworldofficial]

for recording... anything really. Btu preferably a tube amp to have some interesting "flavor"

[@mikeycisme]

@@basstheworldofficial Thanks! - But I gotta ask you this, because I've heard others say it - In the studio, do you have a go-to amp that best brings out the true sound of each bass, for reviews and such?

[@basstheworldofficial]

For these occasions I don’t use an amp at all. I use preamps or go straight into the interface

[@jakeadams0412]

Fantastic sounds and tone!! What precision bass is that?

[@basstheworldofficial]

The Vychodil BassTheWorld bass

[@mishterpreshident]

Interesting to see what others use on their boards. Mine is a completely different animal: Polytune3 -> Crybaby wah -> Darkglass Hyperluminal compressor -> Eventide Black Hole -> Digitech SDRUM The polytune & hyperluminal are the go-to pedals, the others are for fun & learning :) What are others using on their boards?

[@lonebum689]

Polytune -> darkglass super symmetry and B7K V2 -> TC Hall of Fame mini. I don't use wah on mine and the rest proves fairly versatile, whether I want to play some gentle stuff or rock some heavy s#$@.

[@VioletSpaceship]

Always nice to see you bring out the old Sandberg! I've had my VM4 for around 7 years now and it's still my favorite bass to play :) Do you have a favorite?

[@basstheworldofficial]

it's my No.1, it's perfect in every way

[@miloszorz2054]

I just bought cheap ARTEC parametric EQ and its best EQ for bass

[@mr.m.u.k.5944]

Klasse sounds Gregor! Darf man fragen, warum du keinen Compressor auf deinem Pedalboard hast? Ich dachte bislang immer, dass man das eigentlich immer möglichst früh in der Signalkette bräuchte bzw. haben sollte? Danke für die Antwort. Ansonsten, mach weiter so, halt weiterhin die deutsche Bassstange hoch! 😁

[@basstheworldofficial]

brauche ich nicht. Pedalkompressoren benutze ich so gut wie nie. Nice to have, aber nicht wirklich nötig

[@mr.m.u.k.5944]

@@basstheworldofficial Danke für die Antwort. Und was hälst du von solchen DI Pedals wie z.B. das VT Bass DI bzw. das Bass Driver DI (beide von Tech21 Sansamp)? Macht es nicht Sinn sowas auch auf seinem Board zu haben. Man hört und liest so viele gute Sachen darüber. Nochmals Danke!

[@basstheworldofficial]

klar, aber am Ende kann das nur jeder für sich selbst entscheiden. Die Anforderungen und Anwendungsgebiete sind da für jeden Bassisten völlig individuell. Ich bin da auf keinen Fall ein Maß für irgendwas, außer meine eigenen Bedürfnisse

[@mr.m.u.k.5944]

@@basstheworldofficial Du hast natürlich vollkommen recht. Ich denke, ich werde als Bass-Anfänger noch einiges an Leergeld zahlen und ausprobieren müssen. 😵 Na ja, heute wird auf jeden Fall erst mal der neue Warwick geliefert. Bin schon gespannt wie ein Flitzebogen, haha!

Nice tea pot! Is that a cast iron pot? Kindly remind, if so, use it to boil water and pour the water into another teapot (Ike ceramic) to make tea. Don't make tea inside a cast iron pot directly. At least we seldom do it in China and Japan.

[@basstheworldofficial]

Interesting, never heard of that. Yes it’s cast iron and I use it every day

[@pktang3086]

@@basstheworldofficial argh then better change the habit. As the tannic acid inside the tea leaves react with the iron ions of the teapot in high temperature. Best scenario: speedup the rusting of the teapot and you drink the rusted iron. Worst scenario: tannic acid react with iron sulfate (depends on the tech they use when casting the teapot) to become iron gall ink (Google it), and you drank the ink.... In both cases you will make the tea look darker than they should be. So, please use the cast iron to boil the water. And pour it into another teapot to make the tea. It is believed that boiling water with cast iron pot will make the tea softer (which I haven't tested it, but my family believe in this. Oh, I didn't mentioned my grandfather and uncles sold tea for a century in China. ). And softer water is good for making heavily fermented tea, such as most of the western tea (Earl grey, black tea or breakfast tea, or the Chinese dark Pu-erh), as soft water helps the tea to dissolve better and taste less bitter. I was born in Hong Kong and live in a family that drink tea more than water for 38 years. Thank you or giving me so much info on basses. In return I would be more than happy to share useful info on tea for your reference. Cheers

[@pktang3086]

And this is a paradigm demo of how to maintain a cast iron pot(harder than keeping a bass in good shape) kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHWse35vZ9KBhK8

[@cacadordorio]

You need some lessons with Frank It how to improve your bass face when you are playing the bass

[@basstheworldofficial]

the only lesson is to be natural. I don't think about this, neither does he.

[@TheConsciousEvolutionchannel]

Not elitest at all friend. A guy I used to work with was in a local band and I set up his guitar rig to get in shows for free. He had me come to practice to learn to use his rack tuner. He told me people pay to have a good time so it is only right to make sure your tuning is perfect. That stuck and I don't care if I'm playing to a click track or a bird singing outside, I want the tuning and intonation as close to perfect as possible.
