[@DoktorDurum]

This is the best bass tone ever

[@bflo1000]

It's basically Lemmy on steroids.

[@MN-de]

No!

[@idontevenlikemoney]

@@MN-de Yes!

[@anundyingfire]

Always a pleasure to hear 'Hell To Pay' whatever the context!

[@JGHR777]

Took my entire P-bass apart and had it put together and set up with these pick-ups being installed. One of pick-up pieces was faulty but the guy who setup the bass is a magician and fixed it. So my only complaint was the faulty piece of the pick-up... That being said they sound AMAZING and are super versatile. The bass has been set up with a low B, so it's tuned BEAD and the pick-ups handles the low tuning amazingly. I would recommend these pick-ups for playing hard and/or heavy stuff. All in all I love the sound that i get from these.

[@virtual_balboa]

Nice, been considering getting a P and using these pickups and also tuning in B.

[@jonluick]

Some of the nastiest bass tones I've heard. But it's so clear too. Awesome.

[@myron9307]

Ive watched this video like 50 times and know the whole script Newtons a legend

[@joeyrogerson83]

This channel is amazing. I have been waiting for this my whole life.

[@nikkotakanashi7588]

Just met Nate a couple days ago in Bremen and man was that bass tone was just mesmerizing, great dude is as nice as he looks

[@shaffera17]

Finally Nate gets a rig rundown! Any chance you could go in to your Old Man Gloom rig?

[@punkccorpse]

I got a set of the riffblasters installed in my p bass last month and they sound so goddamn massive when paired with the orange terror bass head I also got. Converge is one of my biggest influences and I'm not afraid to show that on my sleeve.

[@ryanyoung27]

Right on man

[@luka3679]

Are these passive pickups?

[@punkccorpse]

@@luka3679 they're passive ceramic pickups that are pretty close to having an "active" tone

[@dannyderrick]

So stoked on this whole channel! Thanks for making these. I've been chasing that bass tone from "Hell to pay". This helped a lot.

[@JGHR777]

Installed these onto my filled down BEAD-standard p-bass and they sound crazy good with all of the low end I have. Running that through distortion and... man...

[@richardharrow1946]

Why’d you type two comments lol

[@littlejimdavies30]

The riff he plays at the end is Black Mountain - Don't Run Our Hearts Around. Great song and riff.

[@arisebc3745]

His tone is unique, u hear it and immediatly know is Nate's 🤘

[@duncanpark9101]

Man, I love these musicians (especially of course when performing as Converge), but hearing Nate play such a classic Black Mountain riff... It just makes me love em even more :)

[@Lmpfapo1]

Fuck I love that sound. So heavy

[@pattonPwr]

been waiting for this too much. Finally... thanks!!!

[@chrisj718]

Love you Nate!!! PEOPLE... PLEASE TRUST ME!!!! From about 1:50 change the speed to 0.25 watch it all .... You're welcome!

[@pattonPwr]

LOL

[@TheReverOcelot]

Nate looks like Tom Araya a bit in this video :)

[@SouthernxLord]

Let's get into the real gear. What kind of Pants is Nate wearing?

[@demovids]

SouthernxLord Stan Ray

[@virtual_balboa]

Welp, I'm getting a P bass and those pick ups now.

[@evanobrien8662]

Black Mountain riff at 4:00 I see you Nate

[@jazzblasterrr]

The tone is there straight into the amp. I love that.

[@Lagwagoner]

Very good video... Short but straight to the point!...

[@666thsense]

the precision bass is just the best bass texture of all time. you can turn off the bridge jazz pickup and get it familiar, but nothing beats a precision.

[@oldheartrecords6996]

I'm a humble man... I see a nate.. i click a nate.

[@stario]

As a player I'm not a p-bass fan but never have I wanted this type of configuration so badly

[@F0dd3r26]

Sounds gnarly. Love it.

[@hedonisticmisanthrope]

This is identical to my guitar tone and it sounds so fucking good on the bass.

[@brandong1246]

Hey what kind of vest is that?

[@mdwayne741]

Love it....sounded very Lemmy!

[@J20M]

Sick

[@MsDefecate]

@demovids Nate im about to pull the trigger on these but i play a pj. always been a p guy but its growing on me. has lace released the j pickup to compliment these or should i just rip out the j and slap these in there?

[@ryanblackman4119]

Jazz basses are great but just let that P be a P, my dude

[@WalrusDoom]

Godlike

[@MrAlecksTv]

that tone is killer .. Gah dam

[@turnpikedivide]

Hey Kurt! Is there anyway we can hear these pickups running without any gain or distortion? I'm running through a bass Big Muff and also an ODB-3, but I'd like to hear the clean tone straight through a DI if possible.

[@bflo1000]

I have a feeling that you can get that tone with the gear he's using w just the STANDARD pups...

[@iunnox666]

@bflo1000 He definitely wasn't playing them clean, unless they're active and have distortion built into the preamps. You can't really tell what they sound like in this demo. Majority of the tone in this video is coming from his setup, not the pickups.

[@BlazonStone000]

Bass sounds awesome. But it’s hard to even tell what the pickups sound like with 2 gritted out amps and an eq boost rolling. None the less cool set up.

[@blendernoob64]

Screw Dingwall / Darkglass generic bass tone, why can’t every bass sound like this?!

[@iunnox666]

Like a P bass?

[@rubberneck9680]

Need more doomriders

[@caught.in.throes]

What are your cabs loaded with?

[@CandJSailing]

I think I sold you that SVT cab

[@conradnichols9810]

the first riff... the name of the song is on the tip of my tongue but just can't locate the memory. any help?

[@conradnichols9810]

alright i figured it out. its Never in my Life by Mountain

[@MrMellowVibes]

The Heads fuck yeah

[@ckngmad1357]

Anyone know Who else play bass like him? I really dig his strumming playstyle

[@mikeswarbrick128]

Black Mountain!!

[@JuanfFigueroa]

It would be nice to hear it clean

[@_thisiswhatyouwanted_]

This guy is too cool

[@sergei.kostrov]

What's the song from the beggining?

[@Erik_Block]

Mountain, "Never In My Life".

[@andreirlmeier]

Oh my God

[@jaclax96]

Real talk, got a shitty bass with a PJ set up, is there a J bass pickup that would mix pretty well with this?

[@demovids]

jaclax96 I don't really use j basses but Lace does make a J pickup

[@LaceMusic]

We are currently working on a J bridge that will pair up with the Riffblasters.

[@jaclax96]

LaceMusic damn that makes my life easier, sick

[@grandtheftautocj]

demovids Hi Nate, you have a cool rig but I was wandering if you use the same rig for Old Man Gloom? P.S. I need a new OMG album, please.

[@codyhansonbass]

@@LaceMusic any update on that?

[@DiminishingAugmentation]

"Punching bad tone in the dick since 1979."

[@Yodelinthegully-d7r]

I’d like to hear it clean!

[@chicledecafe]

Sounds like it was crated by the gods... bass gods

[@kaya9718]

0:20 to 0:29 seizure warning

[@chaz32]

argh... my eyes

[@gqfiend]

Who is this? What band? No info in title or info section.

[@LordVlader]

He plays in Converge and Old Man Gloom. The riff he plays at 3:10 is from Converge - Hell To Pay. Enjoy!

[@jmanitowabi]

He literally says it in the beginning of the video

[@bflo1000]

The REAL secret to the sound are the 2 $2400 200 watt amps. NOT the pups, unfortunately...Save yourself a lot of money & get a $150 Bass Fat Drive or something similar, LOL.

[@bflo1000]

@לילה טוב True

[@iunnox666]

And honestly.... would probably sound even better with standard pickups. Lace pickups, as cool as they are, tend to be anemic and not very expressive.
