    Look it up. Google is your friend ;)

    that was artistic, expressive, and perhaps the finest bass tones that i’ve heard in three decades. deep lows, sweet highs, and incredible harmonic chimes. very nicely done!

    What scale do you use for this solo?

  5. GBagley says:

    It’s mostly just in Em.

    You play your bass like a guitar. You definitely make people think twice about saying that bass is a simple instrument. Your playing is really beautiful, and I’m now a fan. 5/5

    great tunes as always

    Well I know what bass I’m getting once my paycheck comes in! Sounds great. I figure you record directly, but what would you say is the best amp for the Modulus, or even the KL? I’m thinking of picking up a 5 string since your videos featuring that bass are awesome.

  9. GBagley says:

    I do record direct (most of the time). The best thing you can do is to take your bass into a music store and play it through different amps to get a feel for what sounds best. I use an Acoustic Image Coda Combo. But I mostly do theatrical stuff, so I need an amp that’s small and easy to deal with. The Coda is perfect for my needs, might not be for yours though.

    No pedals or anything, I’m just plugged in direct. It’s a nice bass, but you don’t have to spend a ton of money to get a good bass tone.

    you can make any bass sound great!

    I absolutely love this… It’s so relaxing… It makes me want to be a bass player. But I play drums and I’m good with that..

  15. DiRivalX says:

    Thats inspiring 5/5

  16. Dvnomad says:

    Fucking masterpiece

  17. RonPaulMountainBiker says:

    What do you pay for your Thomastik Infield Jazz rounds?

  18. GBagley says:

    @RonPaulMountainBiker – Same as anyone else (ie. a lot of money!)

  19. itachi456789 says:

    Plugging in directly will give you a very handsome recording tone with pretty much any bass from what I can tell.

  20. jaqetall says:

    Such a nice tone, I love that bass… together with the stingray, they are my favorites

  21. marcelloney says:

    You are excellent and I love the sound of your bass. The Thomastik Infeld Jazz Round how long do they last before you feel to change them? (The flat ones are really long lasting)

  22. kidrocker1996 says:

    this is beautiful…

  23. GBagley says:

    @marcelloney – It depends. On my Ken Lawrence (main electric bass) I typically change them every 6 months or so. On my Guild Starfire though I’ve had the same set for years (about 3 years now I think).

  24. marcelloney says:

    @GBagley Thank you for the answer. I love the flat ones, but now I am looking forward to try these, though they are not that easy to find.

    With gratitude, all the best
