It looks awesome but after walking by the 100th person slapping as many notes/second as they can I think I’d want to jump off the roof.

[@Peterkleemusic]

HAHAHA!! you're right!! I was like that, after the first day, I couldn't wake up until 10 am... especially drum booths lol 😂

[@floppytnarwal1641]

Nice seeing the MTDs, fantastic to see night of worship at NAMM

Right, I agree with that. Warrior was very impressive!! Thank you for watching 🙏🙏🙏

I really enjoyed this post. Clever idea that you brought your amp. It's so loud there but you played some awesome basses! Thank you Peter! Greetings from Hollywood, California.

[@Peterkleemusic]

[@RebirthingBruce]

that worship session was awesome

[@Peterkleemusic]

Yeah it was about an hour! Pretty amazing!! 🙏👍

[@aalonso55]

Nice! great playing. arghhh ive been eyeing the atelier-z for a while.

[@Peterkleemusic]

Yeah, I can’t forget the moment after I hit just one note! It’s a perfect bass👍🔥

[@MrTkeddo]

Great bass playing there buddy 👍

[@Peterkleemusic]

Thank you brother!! 🙏🙏🙏

[@KeithCopeland778]

Cool video!!! The MG(tone!), Atelier Z(tone!), Sire 6(gorgeous) food(looks tasty) the Surine bass behind you at the GR Booth, your performance(yessir!), Take 6(praise His name!), Studio Logic Party(Insane bassist!) stood out for me! Thank you!

[@Peterkleemusic]

Thank you so much!!! I'm glad you enjoyed. I had a fun for two days! I really appreciate it 🙏🙏🙏

[@JohnnyBeane]

Great NAMM show this year!

[@Peterkleemusic]

I agree, I was not enjoying myself for the last few years, but this year was great! People are more serious and cheer each other on!

[@JohnnyBeane]

@@Peterkleemusic There was more people this year than the last couple.

[@Peterkleemusic]

@@JohnnyBeane Right! I enjoyed a lot this year besides not many companies came for bass, Fodera, F bass, Markbass, etc…

[@zsujsk]

Excellent technic man!

[@Peterkleemusic]

Thank you so much!🙏🙏🙏

[@Pinguintros]

Spector !!

[@Peterkleemusic]

Yeah! Spector was there, that's good you like Spector basses 🙏

[@zhiweiyao844]

Thank Peter for taking me to watch the few bass played in the NAMMSHOW video. Your 635 is the best. The sound is strong and elastic. The treble is very gorgeous.

[@Peterkleemusic]

Sure, Thank you for watching brother! I tested more, but sometimes I was by myself. I can’t forget the first time I plugged into GR bass amp with my MTD🔥 it’s like Markbass sound but very punch and clean, you should check out too!

[@zhiweiyao844]

@@Peterkleemusic I have electronic tubes markbass 410 Aguilar tone hammer and pjb. I think mtd is the most amazing on markbass and the most dynamic on Aguilar.

[@Peterkleemusic]

@@zhiweiyao844Wow! That’s amazing gears. I have CMD121p and Mesaboogie, but I like Markbass better! It has the crispy sound😱 I had ToneHammer, but sold it before MTD. However, the simulation model is on my Helix Stomp. I like it👍

[@zhiweiyao844]

@@Peterkleemusic That's right. Markbass makes the mtd sound more gorgeous and crisp. It's a very good match. I like it.

[@Peterkleemusic]

@@zhiweiyao844Yep!! I'm a big fan of Markbass. 2x10 cab was just right for me, but I had an issue on the tweet? so I had to return

[@warwicker22]

You were at the Sadowsky booth and didn’t check out Warwick?! That was the one brand I wanted to see.

[@Peterkleemusic]

I’m sorry I was focused on looking for staffs for trying, then i forgot to check Warwick 😂 I love their bass too! Actually, I was talking to my friend about Warwick haha

[@jeromedianne398]

Your first reaction with the Atelier Z !! 😁

[@Peterkleemusic]

Yep!! I want that bass😂😱

[@scootermcgavin2188]

All the zippers n buttons…surprised these basses aren’t scratched up at the end of the show. Thx for the video..looks like a fun show

[@Peterkleemusic]

Right, I thought about that lol it might costs a lot!! Thank you for watching 🙏👍

[@driftless7134]

MG Bass makes great stuff. I own one of their Africa 5 strings.

[@Peterkleemusic]

Yeah, I've had one a long time ago, it was heavy. However, newer stuff are amazing, and light!!! I wanted to try Africa, but someone else was trying. It's a killer bass 😱🔥

[@driftless7134]

@@Peterkleemusic It is heavy! The tones are fantastic. Very versatile bass. I bought it because I've always wanted a Wal, but can't afford one. This bass gets very close!

[@Peterkleemusic]

@@driftless7134 the nice! Yeah, I replayed my video, the tone is something else🔥🔥

[@JerryAyon-jo4ts]

For those who can't make it to the NAMM. Thanks! Even better, showing all Bass Guitar. Don't for get to video 2025... Lol!

Didn’t teacher Emmanuel Espinosa show up with his ANMIEK bass lines?

[@Peterkleemusic]

I guess they were there someone else mentioned it. I haven't heard, but now I want to try!! 🙏

Please try them , 🙏

[@pp90djask2idjk]

MTD should consider pay you to remove the clip-on-tuner for the next NAMM.

[@Peterkleemusic]

Thank you so much!!! I will be covering until they do that lol😂👍🙏

[@TangyBass]

I spotted Nick Campbell 1:23 lol

[@Peterkleemusic]

Yeah, I don't know every bassist, that's a problem! I'm glad you spotted him! 🙏

[@alf92ru]

What is the reference of the amazing Atelier Z that you are playing

[@Peterkleemusic]

This is Atelier Z M265 Custom model. I asked for the price it’s around 3k. Newer models are lighter!

[@ChrisSmith-bz1gl]

Are left handed basses not allowed at NAMM? Didn't see a single one in the background. Loved the video though.

[@Peterkleemusic]

Oh man! You’re right, I didn’t see any either🥺 I’m sure they saved as a special 👍 Thank you for watching and your comment 🙏🙏🙏

[@floppytnarwal1641]

Does seem to be less and less of them in the videos

[@Peterkleemusic]

@@floppytnarwal1641hahaha, I love lefty bass players! Jimmy haslip and mono neon 👍 they should invite them

[@Peterkleemusic]

@@floppytnarwal1641Yeah, I'm sorry 🙏😂😂

This video is very bad for your health if you suffer from a very bad case of GAS... 😉 Still very appreciated, thank you!

[@Peterkleemusic]

HAHAHA! I was crying all after I played the basses, especially the Atelier Z bass was 🔥🔥 we'll get there!! Thank you for watching🙏🙏🙏

[@Chris-dp1el]

@@Peterkleemusic Fortunately for my bank account, most of the brands you tried are not imported in my country. Most of them, but not all them.... On a side note, I hope you enjoyed GR amps, Gianfranco is a very nice guy, and I wish him all the best.

[@Peterkleemusic]

@@Chris-dp1el Same here! I need to work hard 😂😂 GR bass, I'm really positive will get one soon if I have a chance. It resembles the Markbass with the super light weights. I appreciate them, and all the staffs were very nice!

[@GaryChedore]

A lot of nice basses but YAWN! no left handed versions unless I missed something

[@Peterkleemusic]

Yeah, I got some comments about lefty-basses, I'm sorry!!

[@yohanessetiawan1550]

In your personal opinion, which bass has the best playbility??

[@Peterkleemusic]

I was shocked the Atelier Z bass, it has the right feel and vintage tone if you're looking for Marcus Miller tone! However, every bass has the very good set up to test!

[@derk486]

Im a lefty, is there any point in going to these conventions for me or is it all right handed stuff?

[@Peterkleemusic]

I’m sorry brother! I agreed. Sure, they have yours in the back!!!

[@danj8038]

you gotta check out marcobass at NAMM

[@Peterkleemusic]

I did, but that time I was alone no one could film me lol I love their stuff. TFL models are 🔥

[@zidjanarie]

Which church do you play at bro?

[@Peterkleemusic]

It's called New Life LA and Lifeline, I serve two different churches! 🙏

[@InvisibleKingStudio]

Wow they had a night of worship at NAMM? SO COOL!!! Praise God!

[@Peterkleemusic]

Yay! Praise God!! At the main stage, everyone enjoyed, Take 6 made it great worship service and show🔥🙏

Which ones? Also, that should be optional, regardless of which version of divinity one does or does not believe in.

[@cycleof7s438]

This was wholesome to see. Thank you Jesus.

[@greedygringoprospecting6941]

elrick wasnt there ,ken smith. ??? roscoe. fodera.

[@Peterkleemusic]

None of them were there, but I saw many of new companies I never heard. all of them are good! RKM, LEH, some Chinese companies. I think it was good to me to try out new stuff. I saw the bar is really high, especially sire lifted the bar, which every company make a really good quality.

[@tyronejohnson7979]

Did fender not show up 😕😕😮

[@Peterkleemusic]

No, it was surprising. Many big companies weren’t there😭 Fodera, Smith, Roscoe, etc.. and some major drum companies too. It’s post Covid, I think they will come back!

[@Felix77777]

AtelierZ is amazing tone OMG!

[@Peterkleemusic]

That thing was something else bro! I want to order in the soon future lol Thank you!

[@Felix77777]

i cant wait for your sharing about this bass

[@Jayswindows1264]

All I hear at these shows is slsp bass in the key of E! Never heard a walking.blues.line yet!

[@Peterkleemusic]

I'm sorry.. This is the rule lol 😂 I don't know why this year is like this!

[@fender86541]

No Kent Smith bass?

[@Peterkleemusic]

Yeah they didn’t come this year 🥺

[@TenFalconsMusic]

NAMM looks like fun, but I can barely stand the noodle-fest that goes on at musuc shops... Much less a convention centre full of noodlers.

[@Peterkleemusic]

I agree, I was not like that 100% However, when I play some serious stuff, the maker and staff don't give you that much attention to talk. When you hit their basses, they're like hmm.. let's talk lol 😂

[@bustedfender]

Little at NAMM for people who don’t slap ,tap or use upper partials much but do play Filthy McNasty’s every other Wednesday May through October.

[@ileutur6863]

Nobody is gonna spontaneously form a bar band and play mustang sally for you. Musicians noodle to get to know instruments, deal with it

[@bustedfender]

@@ileutur6863 That’s why it’s not show friends, it’s show business…

[@Peterkleemusic]

@@bustedfenderyou're right, but you know at the end of the day, you do what you do! NAMM show gives you different types of badges. Mine is "endorsed artist" so they know I'm a player. usually it's saying Attendee, student, buyer.

[@jagerking7020]

Why do all bass demos have to be 99% slap bullshit? 😂 Listen not everyone is playing level 42 or at Church my man 😂😂😂

[@Peterkleemusic]

I'm sure, I'm not a slapper as well if you check my other videos lol but when you are there, you just gotta hit the bass lol and people are watching you to show off HAHAHA 😂 Sorry about that 🙏

[@polarbear3427]

5 strings basses are stupid, but now there seem to be a lot of 6 strings as well. Just play guitar if you don't want to play bass.

[@Peterkleemusic]

Thank you for your comment, but I have a different view. In the string instrument family, particularly in a classical setting, the standard is four-string basses. However, one might wonder why not everyone plays the violin, and why there are instruments like the cello, viola, and bass. Each instrument possesses its unique character and tonal quality. Although all string basses traditionally have four strings, many composers require a fifth string for lower notes, such as a low C or D. Art is about expression, and there are no strict rules about how to create it. It's important to be considerate of others in your artistic choices. Thank you 🙏. Consider the guitar, which is typically made with six strings. Why not five or seven? It's all about the specific sound and range that the instrument's design offers.

[@RicTone]

Some genres require a 5 string. Extended range basses can blur the lines between guitar and bass. At the end of day it's music. There really are no rules. There's theory to guide and that's it. You can do anything you want to achieve your sound.

[@18hot30]

use a portable DI box, look at what KDH did, you can hear his guitar playing isolated, it rules

[@Peterkleemusic]

Thank you for your advice! I never thought about that. I will do that for sure for any other events!! 🙏
