Vid: Pick Bass Shootout (Different Basses Played With A Pick)

[Rib13Bass]

I havent been posting a lot of my videos here lately but I decided to post this one because its a demo of several basses played with a (sometimes neglected) plectrum.

I thought some players here may find it interesting so, here it is. Enjoy

Not the most useful exercise unless the same set of strings was transferred from one bass to the next.

Also, some palm muting appeared to be in use in some clips but not others.

A video showing the many different pick techniques that are possible and their appropriate use might have been more interesting.........

Thanks for watching! Unfortunately, Im a RN by dayjob so I do the best I can under time constraints....However, I can tell you this: the strings on ALL the basses are D'Addario XLs Roundwounds........Most are new, a few are a little broken in. No strings are dead or lifeless. Thats the best I can do while YouTube is still a hobby and Im busy starting IVs and giving enemas for a living  ...Im hoping that the video at least gives a ballpark representation of each instrument........There was no palm muting on any of the demos. What you heard was the tonality/characteristic of an instrument within that mix context

 

Also:  Everything I record I do direct with NO track EQing : straight out of bass into the interface. I add a little compression (mostly limiting) but thats the only processing

Thanks for what you do during the day.

Has to be the Yamaha 605 for me. Although it's not a bass that looks right getting played with a pick!
