My Pedalboard from Steve Vai's Show Ft. Markbass Vintage Pre Pedal

[@Ben-tr]

I really love how she has advanced so much in playing and how smart she is .but the biggest thing that I really love is the connection between father and daughter

[@robertakerman3570]

To say the least, Ellen is Very animated. What a gift She is.

[@alfonsoPina]

She still is able to be a kid and she plays and then she shows her skill but she is still being a kid. I love this!!!!

[@leegmc1985]

I agree 💯.

[@leegmc1985]

This is a blessed family.

[@wilfredderksen]

Besides Ellen being Ellen, I want to compliment Hovak for being such great father. As you can see on how they respond to each other, it’s not just during the videos. Mostly flexible, sometimes strict, very motivating and appreciative, giving so much energy. So, Ellen is great, but daddy too. I hope to hear another duet soon. Keep being you!

[@jorgepotente4122]

I adore her. When she doesn't have a bass in her hands, she loses focus like any little girl.

[@kgfalls]

As she should, she's a kid. a great musician but still a kid and that's OK.

[@ozman6602]

She's a cute kid, I love seeing children learning to play guitar I think all kids should learn to play an instrument.

[@hairnsap]

The thought clouds were a nice touch ✌ Ramen sounds good to me always 🙏

[@lonniehawkins582]

Watching you two is a lot of fun . Glad your out there .positive family fun is nice to see .

[@kerryp2174]

Love it! So great to see the "little girl" part of Ellen "playing" with the "toys" of her blossoming craft. Then she straps on her bass and turns into a killer rockin' bass player. Keep having fun with your music and it will never get old. Rock on Ellen.

[@johngomillion4872]

Love Ellen’s think clouds 😂😂😂. Thank you for sharing the setup..

[@Tonyjones175]

She’s a genius bass player.❤

[@davidlance3950]

Love the paddleboard. I love watching her play she rocks. I don’t know how somebody that small can hold a heavy bass like that but she’s doing it and she’s too darn cute Rock ‘n’ roll Ellen!

[@donaldmcpadden6651]

Hello, precious! You're an amazing youngster with an amazing mom and dad. I love to watch how quickly you catch on to the lessons, not only the 🎼🎶🎶🎵 but the life lessons all of that translates into. Keep gracing us with your talent, Ellen!!!

[@kenmacpherson2970]

Thanks

[@carolburnett2926]

Y’all always bring joy to me!

[@laurelhardy4064]

You know you are special, when the instrument that you play is bigger then you, well done.

[@foljs5858]

all pianists are special then :-)

[@susiemuirhead6579]

Laurel Hardy. The instrument she’s playing is a Sterling by MusicMan StingRay short scale bass. I’ve got the same one but in white.

[@shambo9108]

Hi Hovak and Ellen. You guys do more than music. You help the rest of us get into, and stay in harmony with this world around us. I hope this is shared with all of your other subscribers. Peace.....and talk soon.

[@crispyrobot77]

ELLEN, Your Performance with STEVE VAI (impossible guitar parts) was AMAZING! Not just for a 10 year old.. but for ANYBODY who plays bass.

[@EllenPlaysBass]

Thank You ❤

[@pavelkratochvila6157]

A unique playing of all styles on the bass and magic sounds by pedalboard 👏🤩

[@PaulRhodes420]

I'm impressed how she learned that Bass so quick! Already on stage with Steve Via! 😲

[@gitaaa7740]

You sir are an awesome dad! Keep the musical support going!

[@jessieenriquez245]

I liked it VERY MUCH. Ellen you and your dad are amazing musicians. Happy Holidays. God bless. Bye !!!

[@frankrichardson2076]

How you guys doing finally someone is actually given instructions on effects which is a desperately needed to know about the compressor

[@alfonsoPina]

Holy cow, she just goes from one style to another and still has fun

[@ChrisSchutte77]

Love the little thought clouds 😂

[@j.g.p.jr.6497]

Very nice setup Ellen! Happy for you and your dad! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@gavinjones3637]

Ellen's thought bubbles had me in stitches!

[@randygomez9595]

Nice little board, I appreciate the simplicity. It sounded good on the video with Steve Vai! Sometimes less is more and simpler is better

[@Capt.DPeterson5171]

This is a great video, explains all about the pedal-board and amps. I was trying to find something like this for a few weeks. Thank-you so much. Hey Ellen you still are one of the best players on KZbin! Ellen is full of JOY!

[@brooos]

Loved the thought bubbles!

[@chrisharris1419]

Ellen you are truly remarkable,I'm 66 and old,but I've seen a many musicians...you are headed for greatness...learn some "who"...you will enjoy pinball wizard ect. Wish you the best in life Christopher...

[@shambo9108]

I love the videos that have been made, but I also love the OPPS moments that happen showing the laughs and the reactions that Ellen comes up with. She always carries on. Music is supposed to be fun and enjoyable rather than a task to be performed. Waiting to see more music videos of Ellen singing an original....or a cover song. Penny Lane was a great choice. Go girl.

[@felixweber6593]

Great demo, thanks… Being able to use this kind of very light and simple rig on stage is a huge improvement in my opinion… It’s way easier than to set up a bulky and so heavy 8x10 cab with a full tubes amp 😅… Cheers from Switzerland 🇨🇭

[@tedkoester814]

Thank God for you, Ellen! It took an 8 year old to get me off my dead butt and back to playing again!

[@teamcongelator]

I loved the cartoon's thougths. well done :) I laughed like a child :)

[@cdetrixhe]

Hey there Ellen! You are learning.. Take some advice from a guy who played bass from 1976-2018. Arthritis took my bass playing ability, but I learned early on to pursue other interests in order to achieve a more balanced life. I have other things that bring me joy. I spent at least 1 hr a day practicing rudiments and tricky parts that eluded me. I played on the road for a few years and got really burned out, because I had been ignoring those other things I enjoyed and was hanging out with the wrong people too much; Not to mention I grew up in bars, and around bar flies. I started playing drums for money at 14. That was the year my parents divorced, so I was pretty much on my own after that. Now that I am 63, I can share these little pearls of wisdom with you. Take your time, it is not a race. Be consistent, dependable, and do not worry too much about life. We all have goals, and I set some for myself I was unable to achieve. Set realistic goals and remember, one day at a time. Ask your parents to help you if any of this is difficult to understand. I was a lot like you when I was your age. I did not have the tools, or support like you. Good Job!!

[@cdetrixhe]

Scammers...

[@cdetrixhe]

I got something special for you.

[@MrAKbass]

I laughed hard at these thought clouds (especially yogurtland 😂 )

[@klebermathias122]

Congratulations for your dad to🙏🙌

[@malekmo64]

Yes. Ellen and Hovak hello from me. You are both incredible musicians and knowledge of all the equipment will be easier for Ellen as time goes on!!! 😊👍❤ Believe me, they might drift off from adult conversation but they are listening and absorbing everything. My daughter is the same!!! 😊

[@cathysantaana7127]

I always look forward to your videos. Ellen's technique inspires me to get better at my bass playing. I love seeing the joy in your face when you play. And thanks for the pedal board insight. I think I'm going to be purchasing ...Lol, some Amazon soon.

[@Backnine907]

Wow! your slapping has dramatically improved!

[@jsamerican38]

Wowww thats incredible how it changes the sound!!

[@-suphur]

I have an older Little Mark 250 Black Line that I run with a 4x10 cab and it sounds great. Good gear at a reasonable price point.

[@fredaldridge1282]

Thank you so much Ellen and Hovak I never knew a pedal board could do so much that’s amazing I have a recording studio here in Pennsylvania but everything is done through software plugins I use a Focusrite interface and Ableton 11 and the musicians can plug there guitars or whatever they play into the interface and I can alter the sound through the plugins. It’s amazing how far these pedal boards have become it’s like bringing a studio along with you to a gig. Thank you guys for the demo as well Ellen you are awesome I’m sure your dad will let you have a piece of cake I can’t do anything in the morning without my coffee ha ha.

[@fredaldridge1282]

Ellen and Hovak the scammer is back he is replying to my comment to you

[@chrissaunders4703]

I hope you keep playing Bass Ellen your very talented. Your 10 so just imagine how good you'll be at 20, you've got a bright future ahead of you.

[@jeffreywells6573]

That mid-scoop tone sounds awesome!!

[@montyscribner700]

Certainly kept up with the big guns on stage... good stuff!

[@rubenluna3285]

Ellen reminds me of Ale of TW, 2 exceptional young bass players, keep up the good work Ellen.🎸🎸

[@Ljuberus]

Я всегда рад Вас видеть! Будьте здоровы!

[@dustymetal4ever]

I think it's wonderful that you as a father is so involved in her musical career, and you let her choose her path of music. Just wondering, when you're not working with your daughter, what do you do for a career? I'm guessing you at one point you played in a band, because you are so talented. Your career Ellen is just going to keep rising to the top, just like the little star that you are. From a fan.

[@EllenPlaysBass]

Thank you very much. Search Octavision on KZbin. www.octavisionmusic.com

[@theboomers420]

You are a wonderful father & Ellen's talent shines. bringing pure joy to the world (pun intended) !!!

[@tonyroma69]

amazing pedalboard ...!! greetings from Italy

[@tygereyes]

Nice! I have to say that is a lot of functionality in a small unit. I can see the reason you prefer these folks.

[@dewtain1363]

Ellen does really not care, she just wants to go have fun 😂😂😂🥰

[@michaelwalker7570]

That's kind of what I thought too. What a little character she is.

[@GospelBluesMan]

Glad she is learning some 12 bar blues although she did find the stretch hard on her hands. She take very well to the Slap Bass!! With pedals like these many musicians opting to go Sans Amp which is French for Without Amp.

[@darrellcurry1783]

That's a nice pedalboard, Ellen and i like it and you sure did an awesome job on that bass!! Ellen, you rule!! 🎸🎵🎶❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😊

[@timothyalan7731]

The bass is an extension of her mind and soul.

[@Tjay0716]

Lol those little giggles are so cute

[@sahibilima7437]

🔰🔰Congratulations... 100.000 🥰Here in Brazil, we celebrate with a cake! On your account 😁 of course. 👏👏 Thanks Steve Vai. I'm a drummer and my daughters like you a lot too.

[@joevano]

I love the uninterested in the technical details, but put a bass in her hands and it’s all smiles and business.

[@JoeCardilino]

Ellen's joy/bliss is omnipresent... You guys rock-A-fan for life!

[@RobinRobin-kz7qw]

Hello my friends, again so jolly to see Ellen's gestures when she has nothing or less TO DOOOOOO! Maybe she will ALSO become an actress in humorous roles. For your examples I even changed my headphone from Koss Porta to Sennheiser 580 to listen to nuances. But most of all I wanted to wish YOU a happy & healthy NEW YEAR and PEACE EVERYWHERE NOW!!!!! Robin

[@stevetim2029]

ellens smile is the best shes so cute

[@PatNetherlander]

Hahahaha I laughed SO hard when the text-balloons appeared! Nice explanation though Hovak. It all sounded great on stage. So it was a good functioning pedal-board.

[@scottbehl216]

Lol, I'm always thinking about food too Ellen. But not cake.

[@russelharmon408]

The little thought bubbles were an unexpected and well touch of humor. And I do believe they weren't too far off from what Ellen was thinking about

[@jamesseitz6817]

Wow she is so good with the bass and I like it when she was on with the band it was awesome

[@Laguna69]

She is the best!

Wow Ellen your slap is so funky

[@andrenov7152]

Do some covers again with Yoyoka

[@RulgertGhostalker]

my UAD-2 Plugin bass rig Plan = Hi-Z--> Gallien Krueger 800RB, Fairchild 660, SPL Vitalizer MK2 T, Dytronics Studio D Chorus. i already have the middle two in the chain, and don't use the SPL for anything, so i am going to give the SPL a try and see if i can work with it in my bass tracking signal chain. ( i can catch the 660 HP with the SPL compressor ) it's just going to be mild tweaks on the SPL and D Chorus, but i am also getting the D Chorus for some mild thickening in my tracking guitar rigs, so the cost is justified.

[@crazy-4-cooking]

Hey Hovak, did you/Ellen had the chance to try out a dark glass pedal? A befriended bass player uses one (forgot which model, should be an older microtubes one) and they sound really nice. (It can even save custom presets for easy access during performances) And Ellen, wow you really rock it out.

[@HovakMusic]

We haven’t yet, but I’ve heard great things about their gear.

[@crazy-4-cooking]

@@HovakMusic thank you so much for the reply. Give them a try and Play around when you get a Chance. Pretty interesting thingies.

I hope you don't mind me asking this but how do you EQ the markbass amp. I use a Little MarkBass III with a 410 cab. I really like the sound that you setup up for her. By the way, are those tapewound strings on her basses. Thank you so much. Keep up the good work. She sounds great.
