[@premierguitar]

Our pleasure, Blu. We're glad you made the time for our little internet show! We'll see ya next time your in Music City popping off parties!!

[@the-creech4790]

You are incredible!

[@michaelthompson3286]

Love your stuff, Elevator is such a jam especially 🤘🏼❤️‍🔥

[@nathanwahl9224]

I'm impressed, you're truly a bass player's bass player! No compression, control that tone, yeah, dynamics!!! Thanks, interesting seeing your perspectives.

[@Andyanddiana467]

Awesome! More bass rig rundowns, please!

[@HLinc.]

I agree!!

[@rome8180]

Chris is my favorite Rig Rundown interviewer. He seems genuine and easy to talk to.

[@gregmize01]

He always comes prepared!!!🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@chris_kies]

Thanks! Truly appreciate the kind words

Him and Rebecca Dirks

[@keithwright2322]

Awesome to see Blu doing a RR! This girl has the funk in her DNA.

[@Bits_N_Pixels]

Man, the chill atmosphere and how comfortable the artist is, are marks of how good these rundowns are! Love the joke about not receiving free gear yet!

[@billnelson9413]

Spicoli surfs AND plays bass now too?! Totally sick! Good job on the interview Mr. Hand!

[@chris_kies]

Aloha! 🤙

[@ileutur6863]

Always a pleasure to see a bass rig featured

[@james9802]

Absolutely loved this. Was lucky enough to see Blu at her London show last year, mind-blowingly talented

[@BluDeTiger]

[@ukulelelab4219]

great. I love basses with sparkle finishes

[@pdempsey]

Awesome rundown! Glad to see another bassist who doesn't like/use compression.

[@Andyanddiana467]

Funny you say that...I've recently been playing without a compressor and I'm quite enjoying it. I'm getting better at controlling tone and dynamics with my fingers, pick, and/or volume/tone knobs on my PJ bass.

[@rexwave4624]

Years ago, I mixed a one-off show of Buddy Guy. The guitar was compressed and loud, so I gently compressed the bass, which was more dynamic, to get it up in the mix. The bass player gave me shit in the break, so I dumped the compressor, brought him up loud enough that his loud bits were full scale, then left it. Oh, well.

[@pdempsey]

@@rexwave4624 ​ LOL, 2 weeks ago I gigged out for the first time in 15 years. First time using in-ear monitors and the DI box jack was faulty, so it didn't go great. After things settled in I'd say I played mediocre to so-so. After the gig, the keyboardist said exactly this: "You should get a compression pedal." :-| I'm actually considering it now.

[@rexwave4624]

@@pdempsey I use a compression pedal for my bass. Like you, gigging out occasionally. It makes my sound even in the small rooms I play.

[@pdempsey]

@@rexwave4624 I'm sure Premier Guitar doesn't mind us hijacking their comments section for some philosophy of gear usage. So I use soft/hard plucking to manipulate the dynamic volume range..... on purpose. That's was the breakthrough of the piano (piano/forte, quiet/load), that's my emotional input for the song. A compression peddle is a compromise: your artistic input sucks, use this. If only I was an actual artist, then my opinion might carry some weight. ;-) Cheers, nice talking to you.

[@BruceColon-BSides]

This Rig Rundown was SO sick 😝

[@thedondeluxe6941]

If Fender released a production model of that bass, I would totally buy one😍

[@geoffcline9593]

Bass + DJ ?? SQUAREPUSHER,(Tom Jenkinson) since 1993/94... a legend, a monster...an original. See also, Shoba Leader One, an amazing band,

[@thunderthumbs83]

I was thinking of Squarepusher too as soon as she mentioned that. Fred Falke is another one too, though I don't think he uses the bass as much in live sets as SP.

[@hexadb]

I came to the comments to see if anyone had mentioned Squarepusher. 😁

[@johnfrenette]

Or Clifford Gilberto

[@p9jpd9]

Shout out to School of Rock, great place for kids to learn

[@x7stringinJSCx]

More people need to know who she is. Glad she did this.

[@niupe705]

Blu is everything we need to see on the current scene and i'm HERE for it

[@BluDeTiger]

[@smelltheglove2038]

Just another social media “musician” with rich parents that funded her rise. Not real.

[@bassically7882]

The NY loft is sick.. fire.. whatev... probably a couple million

[@DannyCruzCreations]

I like compression. On guitar AND bass. But, much respect to you. Also, Josh Smith can't stand compression on guitar.

[@jensk4140]

16:12 you can play the "party boy" tune with that pedal 😁

[@andrewpappas9311]

I’m not familiar with Blu but she seems like a really solid girl and a great player so I’ll definitely check her music out, plus that blue sparkle Jazz Bass looks absolutely incredible

[@thecappy]

Fantastic player.

[@jodymoses156]

Not really

[@thesnapperkeeper]

What a beautiful bass

[@inthepocketbass]

Welp, now I need a Jazz Bass. That tone is killer.

[@daddarioandco]

I was the same way about compression UNTIL I discovered the BECOS CompIQ STELLA Pro Compressor. Haven't looked back since. 🤘

[@ITigerbaum]

More Bass!

[@rogercardenas111]

Classic set-up Fender Jazz Bass and an Aguilar bass amp. Great job guys interesting video. 👍🤠😷🙋‍♂️🤓🧑‍🏫🤘

[@gamby16a]

Her bass part on The Knocks "Slow Song" was phenomenal. Top track for 2022.

[@CarlDraper]

Great! thanks for doing this Blu!

[@craigshewchuk9018]

I have the same Perry's rose guitar strap! Definitely check out a 1-15 and 410 together, it would be a third cab to have or bring around but they definitely add a lot of low end Also both basses sound good, I liked the first one a lot the sparkly one, it has its own sound, while the other one without sparkles sounds like original bass, still good but doesn't have a distinction to it

[@xdoctorblindx]

I'm sure she's reading all of these comments, eager to implement your suggestions.

[@craigshewchuk9018]

@@xdoctorblindx I don't care who read my comments

[@donbuttaccio4464]

Yeah Totally

[@adiohead]

I get the compression thing. I prefer playing dynamically.

[@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer]

Dig, she seems very cool. I'll check out the tunes.

[@KeithKemp]

Totally

[@Jaytl359]

@@KeithKemp Damn beat me to it lol.

[@nathanwahl9224]

The tens do just fine for getting that feeling, as compared to the 15s. There's a lot more to cabinet design and results than just driver size. Guitar players, geez. 😆 (joke!)

[@jascatt3341]

Did you guys discuss the Van kitten in their collaboration with Chloe or did I miss it?

[@TheRainmanBachelor]

Sometimes being quiet is good but this is snobby quiet.

[@KesslerMickschGeorgeII]

More players could learn from her example. Unless it’s for a dramatic effect, leave your compressor pedals at home. Trust the sound man. They’re going to compress the heck outta everything anyway

[@BudiPrasetyoHarsono]

Please do James Bay Rig Rundown next!

[@the-creech4790]

This was a breath of fresh air! She didn't fly any freak flags, no social injustices perceived as far as I can tell. No excessively foul language. She's not mutilated with ugly tattoos (sorry Chris!). And has genuine talent and interest in music. A very rare thumbs up from me. Thanks for posting this video Premier Guitar!

[@librasky]

Agreed 👍

[@xdoctorblindx]

You seem to have very specific ideas of how women should look, speak, and behave. I bet the women in your life (if you have any left) love that about you.

[@librasky]

@@xdoctorblindx stop projecting your insecurities

[@ileutur6863]

If you value a musician by how they align with your social values instead of for the music they create, I have news for you... you don't value that musician.

[@xdoctorblindx]

@@librasky I'm a guy, actually, and happily married with children. What exactly am I insecure about, hmm? I just hope my daughter doesn't have to deal with men like the two of you.
