The Joe Dart II Bass

[@mateotrapiello1114]

I love that Nate is struggling at not bursting with laughter but when Jack says "How many tone knobs are in your oven?" he just can't help it anymore. Such a versatile bass from a versatile, uuuuhhhh, mindset.

[@RaffaeleSansone]

@@Mike-er2ih the bass only has the essential controls, just like the oven doesn't have tone controls because they're not important

[@mateotrapiello1114]

@@Mike-er2ih none of Joe's signature basses include tone knobs because of the emphasis that they want to put on minimalism. The argument Jack gives on the absence of tone knobs, as usual, doesn't make too much sense, though. I'm not sure if this helps you because Jack's sense of humour is quite surreal at times, but I hope it does!

It’s so funny that it’s obviously a J Bass but they dance all over not saying that. “We thought what if we split the pickup in two and moved one forward. I don’t think it’s ever been done before.” Had me rolling. It sounds great though and I love the natural finish. It’s also fun hearing Joe call the strings “Pre-aged” as a lot of his great tone from using old roundwound strings, which is pretty abnormal but really works for his sound.

[@szrnkabela]

He should have kept the SD Ant II pair though, bc these sound considerably thinner with the EB steel rws.
