That T-shirt is amazing!

[@klxmaster14]

Good stuff. Thanks!

[@SeanRyan14]

So simple and so helpful. Much appreciated.

[@simondavidse3406]

great series! thank you so much for all the good tips, most of them no one ever told me

[@domagojoinky8262]

I have a 5 string bass, so I can play the low thundering notes people can both feel and hear. Low B feeds subs really nice and makes every groove sound heavier and grounds the band together like nothing else. Electric bass has an interesting color above 12th fret but I do not use that area of instrument very much in bass lines, more for solos.

[@michaelcavalier2294]

A great suggestion for use of the capo. It doesn't have to change the sound, just force you to use specific notes. I am going to start doing it today.

[@deadbeatstudios]

Ya man, I love it!

[@holdencaustic]

Hey Jayme!!! Great vid, as usual!! To add: the higher up any string you go, the thicker they are in between nodal points.. It's why we all love the E on the A string, 7th fret, as opposed to the 2nd on the D. High tension flats sound better in the half and first position... Dude, loved that custom 5 string review you did...great to see your channel booming!

[@deadbeatstudios]

Thank you so much Jason, I'm honored!

[@holdencaustic]

Dude, you're killing !!

[@tiagomoraisc]

amazing tips #2

[@MrVyrtuoso]

Speakers doesn't quite work like that. The fundamental is the same no matter what string and position you play where the pitch and octave are the same. So long as that fundamental pitch isn't above the crossover point that fundamental is going to the subs. Different positions on different strings have differences in the amplitude of the various overtones that are sounding. And this phenomenon is what informs the consideration for the timbre that is "appropriate" or desirable for which genres or sonic effect sought after. Where an overtone is actually below the crossover frequency, one might actually hope that this overtone isn't too strong so as to obscure that fundamental.

[@MrVyrtuoso]

The point on how the tonality is different and that difference informing what position a bassist might play pitches given a certain musical context is correct and I appreciate it. Only the technical explanation for what comes out of the subs is what I found to be in want.

I want more!

[@mattcano2683]

Bro! Thanks!!!

[@deadbeatstudios]

Thank YOU, Matt!

[@markbass354]

thanks Jayme

[@deadbeatstudios]

You're very welcome Mark!

[@enochkemokai1918]

Thanks 🙏🏽, what mic did you use on that cab! Sounds great!

[@deadbeatstudios]

It's an RE-20:) My favorite bass cab mic

[@ravelitschimo]

Thank you

[@deadbeatstudios]

You're more than welcome!

[@Low38]

What's the DI that you're using there? When I play live I run direct without an amp. I've been rotating DI's as I find I like certain aspects of some. I was shocked how different they are just as a direct signal. I know you love the REDDI and it's amazing. But what you've used here was great. Thanks in advance! And thank you for all of your videos!

[@deadbeatstudios]

Thanks dude! This is a Radial JDI, but I also like the TC SpectraDrive too. There's tons of great DI's out there for sure!

[@lucas.tr.]

Thank u again

[@deadbeatstudios]

You're very welcome Lucas!

[@fodera0915]

This so helpful=)

[@bassclefconnoisseur]

Ok, so I only have five minutes to spare and.....Oh! Thanks Jayme!

[@deadbeatstudios]

You're very welcome Mark!

[@martingesser3846]

Thanks for the priceless advices. I have a question concerning live situation: how can I change the settings of my onboard preamp, my pickup selection and my wiring configuration (series, parallel) without driving the sound engineer up the wall?

[@muchammadnurwibowo8255]

Compressor/limiter maybe?

[@deadbeatstudios]

@@muchammadnurwibowo8255 That certainly helps

[@deadbeatstudios]

You've gotta maintain an equal volume balance at all times, so if you boost your EQ you might need to turn your master down. Or use a limiter or compressor too. Hope that helps Martin!

[@martingesser3846]

@@deadbeatstudios I have no great experiences with limiters and compressors but whenever I used one I had the impression that they kill my dynamics. Changing the output of your instrument in a live situation seems to be very challenging. Maybe that's why the passive classics are very welcome onstage... there aren't many knobs and switches to crash the mix :-) Thx for your answer!

[@Yousefmesef]

i was hoping when you put the capo on you'd be totally stumped but you seemed to manage fine :/

[@deadbeatstudios]

It wasn't as easy as it looked ;)

[@samkarugu7639]

i play punk n higher octaves come in handy ,coz we a threepiece
