His bass tone is probably the most rich and badass I've ever heard.

[@gerardovaldezmusic4917]

Listen to death from above 1979, trust me. Its a duo too and they play drum and bass, the bass sound sick!

[@AeromatterYT]

I'd left my bass for ages from making slow progress, but hearing Mike talk about lining up his interest with his ability level is actually really encouraging. Started practicing again today :D

[@kimyjo]

The “Lights Out” bass solo, said by the man himself, it was the most difficult to perform at first and yet it’s the most iconic part of that song for damn sure. - Also that Orange Jaguar is like sex on lava.

[@jery3385]

It's not really that hard to play,but it's still catchy.

[@kimyjo]

Je Ry Lol, I was referring and quoting Mike when he first created the bass solo. Watch the video dude. And talk to Mike about it, not me dude, I wasn’t the one who said this. (Man, I actually forgot about this comment lul. What a flashback!)

[@AngelPerez-dw8ou]

For real

[@ML-nj4qi]

There is nothing innovative about that bass...Mike is basically saying playing Bass is easier than guitar.

[@pzjay241]

[@DelScully]

Still waiting too :(

[@Cityloud]

Sell It? I want a giveaway haha

[@brianhuynh1989]

Fender/Squier will give us a hundred signature P basses that are nothing more than different color schemes but won’t give us the Mike Kerr signature Jaguar or Starcaster. Which will be something original and Something us bass players have been asking for!

[@rightbackich213]

M L and who are you? A washed up bassist or washed up guitarist? Let’s hear your music please?

[@Andy-uf8jq]

@@ML-nj4qi washed up, yet making 6 figure sums in a successful band. Who are you?

[@Rikkii2]

@@ML-nj4qi I've played bass for 6 years now. Experimented with every sound I can try. Mike Kerr is a killer bassist, who says using a bass to make guitar sounds isn't how you play bass? It's an instrument for fuck's sake if you try and limit yourself to the "norms" how can you be unique? honestly people like you make me so disappointed in the music community.

[@kanedgytheguy8105]

Dude Nate Mendel's pbass is literally a red pbass with a fancy pickup and is $150 above standard price

[@dragon7590]

Glad to see my favorite band blowing up. Rock on!!

[@harrypalmer5452]

I’m just saying, a Mike Kerr Signature Jaguar bass would be pretty cool

[@DevinCLott]

Fender we need a Mike Kerr signature ASAP. Everyone would buy it and it would be amazing

[@Lisogarcia]

they r definitely into muse but hearing that directly from mike is amazing!! Muse is my favourite band and you just simply can't not love royal blood!!

[@Alfie02]

Cannot love them??

[@jakesmith-bs4jd]

I saw Muse live in Milton Keynes and Royal Blood were supporting them. Amazing night :)

[@cameronlong59]

Make the mike kerr signature bass

[@ER04040]

I love how Mike was mentioning this GS he can't do. That makes him feel so much more human and real

[@charlieb8735]

Pretty damn humble. The man may not play the most technically impossible stuff but the coordination to play and sing both parts with nothing to hide behind is a different type of mastery. I’m sure talent is an element of it but I’m very confident the care put into constructing and time spent practicing these songs is where he sets himself apart. Royal Blood, Bloc Party and Muse have long been my inspiration to build my independence between simultaneous vocal and instrumental parts. Absolutely removed the excuse of “no one can/does do that” and I’m thankful that they did

[@MrGunwitch]

It's not just playing and singing it's also the extensive foot pedals with zero margin for error. The amount this guy takes on his shoulders is unreal, just a natural performer.

[@Tcflohr]

These guys put on such an incredible show.

[@ollydyer3082]

I'm sure there's many influences in RB. One, I do know and Mike would tell you himself is the "White Stripes", or any other band Jack's jamming with this week. He big on Jack White!

[@haavard9227]

@Carlos Felipe Benitez Perez you're a moron lol

[@JoshFryer]

That orange bass is my favorite bass, period. I saw him play it at Bonnaroo last year and it sounded, and looked, amazing! 🤘

[@frenchyss]

Pretty much the same sound for every other color

Assuming they all have the same electronics. Maybe they don't. Maybe they are modded. Maybe they do. We'll never know.

The Lights out solo is so fulcong sexy. Thanks Mike and Ben.

[@joshgreene8219]

that tone he gets when hes playing the solo part from lights out is amazing lol how does he get that sound what kind of fuzz is that?

[@filthyminds9039]

Not sure what fuzz pedal he uses for it but he uses an auto wah during the solo also

[@Deaf_Notes]

It's a Zvex Mastotron fuzz, people have taken pictures of his pedal board during concerts

[@CWarrren]

Zvex mastotron, with auto wah and pitch shift. Closest I’ve come to replicating it is with mastotron, pitchfork at +1 octave 50% blend and a JHS foot fuzz v2 with a boss AW-3 with both vowels at 25% and decay at max

Love Royal blood. I just wish they didn't play Lights Out as slow though ☹️

[@elZyngaWTF]

Agree. And not only Lights Out, they do that with some other songs.

[@josuepon0318]

It's cause it's hard to play songs and sing if you're playing note per note and he hasn't fully mastered that skill yet but I still love it

[@elZyngaWTF]

So why does he make something in the studio that he won't be able to do later in live?

[@szynkus18]

elZyngaWTF eerrm...because he can record every single track separetly?

it's due to the frame rate of the camera and the vibration of the strings it's probably not actually that floppy

This and it's a short scale bass, drop tuning with guitar strings. At least the bottom two.

[@greyonyt]

well, ive tried to investigate this throughout a couple of months, there are a few "Fan Made" pedal or amp setups that get there. But LEGIT LEGIT he just gives ints here and there. I know he uses a POG, the cromatic tuner, some fuzz and overdrive pedals, and a wah wah, oh and a compressor. That should do.
