Spiritbox - Jaded (Bass Cover) + TAB [TESTING 1994 WARWICK CORVETTE PROLINE in drop F#]

[@NiemiJoona]

There goes the "you gotta have that 37 inch scale for F#" down the toilet. Both your playing and tone are impeccable!

[@thepiratebass_]

HAHA Well said! Thank you man 😉

[@bdabassman]

Very nice… I’m a Spector player but these Warwicks you’re tracking with sound great. Some of the basses appear active and some passive, but your tone in these different vids is very consistent. What are you using as a signal chain?

[@Schtorm_BLITZ_UNION]

In fact... for F# to have it to compete with other string tensions, you should be aiming for something like 40"-42".That 37" scale lenght is designed for perfect B string. There will be hopefully first Warwick Thumb 37" in November 2024 so lets see how it improves then! :)

[@mitchellp6289]

@@Schtorm_BLITZ_UNION no-one using a 40-42 inch scale bass. you would simply increase the string gauge or use software.

[@Schtorm_BLITZ_UNION]

@@mitchellp6289 Actually I have 42"-39" bass for studio purposes (no.5, more basses like that are going to be produced) and it sounds so much better than what I can do with 34". Even difference is felt between 37" and 42". String gauge is not that big issue, you order customs from NewTone strings, they are ready for those scales. You can always use software, but that is just artificial. I like it when it sounds natural. You can use samplers like Eurobass, no problem to produce F#. But it is heard it is artificial, they didn't record the samples properly.... they detuned 34" bass with software.

[@PushThatMakesYaMove]

That slow wobble of 5th string when played open!

[@thepiratebass_]

Very cool effect haha

[@jonraquet6629]

fun fact: that happens when the shutter of the camera and the frequency of the string get close together!

[@Road370]

Best bass tone I've ever heard

[@thepiratebass_]

Wow thank you 🙏

[@Jackal_Blitz]

Having owned a Dingwall, I have to say that I love seeing videos like this even more. The whole 37" scale thing is not the night and day difference that people make it out to be, and quite often I think Dingwalls can be a bit obnoxious in the mix. This is a phenomenally well played and mixed bass track, no fancy multiscale neck required.

[@Schtorm_BLITZ_UNION]

It really is a big difference. Especially during live situations.

[@Jackal_Blitz]

@@Schtorm_BLITZ_UNION Well, this isn't live, so I really don't care. It sounds fine. You're basically just exemplifying my point.

[@Schtorm_BLITZ_UNION]

@@Jackal_Blitz Still, F# is far from perfect on 37", can't get any better on 34". I think scale matters a lot, people just got tired of that "Dingwall" thing... :) Which I did aswell. I don't own Dingwall at the moment, but I was thinking to make some comparison video how F# performs on 34", 37" and 42" scales. What's another problem with 34", you lose thar bit of clarity you have with fresh string so fast and then the articulation isn't good much. A

[@Egr3gious]

Fingerstyle!!! I love this way more than any Dingwall i've ever heard. I also own a 1992 Pro Line; this reaffirms my belief that it's the perfect bass for me. Incredible playing!

[@ObieCS2]

I've been obsessed with this song for a couple of days now. Awesome cover and bass tone!

[@thepiratebass_]

Thank you so much dude!

[@tylerdavidleach]

Again, I’ve watched probably 100 times. Phenomenal.

[@PigglyWigglyDeluxe]

I’m definitely going to be referencing this video for people who INSIST you need extended scale for drop F# Not only that, but you nailed it finger style. Wild

[@IqbalAgung]

That bass tone sheeshhhhhhhh 🔥

[@TeganCantEven]

Omg the tone!!!!

[@zenzenzen4741]

Fellow bass player here. Just subscribed. You are awesome!

[@finestgoods]

I just heard this on Spotify! Blows my mind that you already covered it lol.

I couldn't contain myself haha

[@MrAlexeySad]

@@thepiratebass_ how do I adjust the sound so that my Corvette sounds the same?

[@thecrypticpoet]

The tone and accents! It's so good 🤌🏾

[@ScoliosisMcGee]

somehow sounds better than many dingwalls i've heard in such low tunings, incredible! what string gauges are you using?

[@flavy1000]

I already loved Josh as a bassist, and i really love your bass tone and playing... ✨Awesome lows on F#!

[@ERRA444]

wow dude! it just release. you're a beast! and this song is such a beauty! Spiritbox ftw!

[@thepiratebass_]

Thank you so much!!

[@floriyoo1036]

Man thats a tasty fuckin bass tone. Awesome cover!

[@givememyshoe]

Clean as always.

[@thepiratebass_]

Thanks bro!

[@_andoenk_]

this sound is killer!

[@tomepfi]

Just came across your channel after seeing your KoRn cover. I've got some catching up to do. Very good stuff man. 🤘🏻

[@thepiratebass_]

Thanks brother, I hope you enjoy it!

[@tylerdavidleach]

Fiiiiiiiiiiire 🔥

[@jonathan_FS]

This is the best bass tone I've ever heard! With my band we play in drop F and I've stayed away from Warwick mainly due to the 34" scale lenght. Ended with a Dingwall "obviously", even my Sandberg 5 string 35" have trouble to keep up. As some people asked already, also very curious of your setup to keep a crisp tone like this with such low tuning?

[@thepiratebass_]

Wow thank you man! There really is no secret... it's a matter of playing it as cleanly as possible brother 😅

[@BloodEagle.]

Trust me, Warwick holds it own for sure. Dingwall is absolutely amazing, and I will own an NG3 one day, but I've run my Warwick to Drop G no problem with standard 45-130 gauge strings. Just gotta keep it tight and setup is crucial.

[@charliemylrea1189]

Wow!!! Any chance you’d be willing to show us how you record and eq? That’s amazing metal tone!

[@DrDSP]

Omg could you please tell me your signal chain or settings?? And string gauge. I’ve been trying to get a good tone out of my 5 string Warwick for months and can’t mail anything like this!!

[@VERTIGOAtsumi]

Great 👍

[@thepiratebass_]

Thanks!

[@nimasneaky5264]

So goddamn fast cover .best sound . thanks

Thank you so much Lucas!

[@prahadrumsofficial]

What a cool bass I never heard of that brand before

[@eugenechek7288]

Very cool👍

[@thepiratebass_]

Thank you!

[@philippgrunert8776]

I have the same bass, but i think from '93. I have never achieved such great tone and always thought i may have to buy another bass at some point. May i ask if you could kindly share info on your signal chain and processing? Great playing by the way

[@letscommentmydudes8669]

german technology at its finest, superb playing as always 👌🏻

[@thepiratebass_]

Thank you so much!😊

[@AndrewShy4]

Nice cover man. 👌👌That bass tone is amazing. How the hell did you get it? Does you only distort midrange?

[@badrolljoe]

do you ever have problems with the electronics in Warwicks of that age? my '97 Streamer needs the jack resoldering every so often and I cant figure out why.

[@danielrabaev9997]

Hey! Best bass tone I have ever heard! How did you achieve this tone?

[@grvyrdsmusic9185]

your tone is unbelievable drop the signal chain lol

[@abowla7187]

What gauge is that low string?

[@gus3333]

Please teach us how do you get that bass tone!!

Play the best you can!!

[@RaulRomero-hg6ir]

[@kirillsamarcev1988]

whats gauge string?

[@martinkrey8321]

❤️‍🔥

[@thepiratebass_]

😊🙏

[@raspberryranger8573]

Great cover! What Gauge of string are you using because they sound very tight for being in drop F#.

[@8slimdim8]

very curious as well 🙌 cause I have drop A# tuning with .130, and not happy with the tone at all...

[@thepiratebass_]

Don't complicate your life... I used a normal set (45-130) 🤣The key is to play it as clean as possible, although I do recommend using a higher caliber than 130. I hope I have helped you 😊

[@Jonura]

strings number?

[@artolan_illusive]

So this is bassicaly an octave lower F# that the lowest on standard tuning? Dude, you can literally see the wave on the string when he plays the lowest note.
