TTNG on Audiotree Live (Full Session)

[@nixthelatter]

For being such a technical band they are one of the tightest and cleanest bands live ai've ever seen. Flawless.

[@iwillnevergetone5]

right! all these other bands that wanna copy the americ anFootball vibe need to watch this session and take notes. especially when it comes to doing vocals while playing like this. TTNG pulls it off flawlessly

The guy that's announcing/leading this is incredible. It's nice to have a normal person be sincere and joke around instead of acting like a try-hard/cool guy. Also.. TTNG's performance was incredible. (understatement) I keep coming back to this session. Thanks!

[@daveisaframe]

I've always been in love with that bass ever since I've seen it used by them. Sadly I've tried to search for it but I only found the classic model with three single coil pickups. (for whom didn't notice, this one is a six string bass with two higher strings and PJ pickups with the single coil between the split and the neck) I've only seen it once in a guitar shop a few years ago, it shouldn't be too expensive being a Squier but something suggests me that it will be quiet hard to find it when I'll be in the right conditions to buy one.

[@zaxzumu4605]

That bass was definitely modified. Squier never made a bass like that. They made the bass vi with the jaguar pickups but never a pj squier jaguar bass with guitar tuners and strings.

[@daveisaframe]

@@zaxzumu4605 yeah fair enough. I thought it might have been out of production or something. I was quiet sure I saw the exact model in a store but I may remember wrong. thanks btw

[@thedogjuicettv]

Pretty sure Hank has videos about it, it's a bass that he cut extra notches in for guitar strings or something only these guys could come up with haha

[@michaelparker5478]

Yeah he does have videos about it. If you want to take on a project, it's a homemade bass VI with a Squier Jaguar bass with a new tuners (and filling in the bass tuner holes in the headstock and drilling in holes for guitar tuners), bridge, and nut. I believe he also changed out the pots, but I think the pickups are original

@@NicoNice24 i have seen it on vimeo while searching for his setup, crazy stuff, i have also seen a few comments on people complaining about the bass VI tone, this must be why his bass sounds so good, he is still using normal bass' hardware, while other bass VIs tend to have a pickup setup that intentionally make it sounds like a guitar, oh and also his custom pedal made specially for his bass, the man is like a macgyver of music
