Really enjoyed this episode, I love your normal highly produced gear demos but hearing you talk a little more informally is very interesting too. I think perhaps there is a bit much of the acoustics of the bass coming through the mics while you're playing? Perhaps gating or compressing the mic audio with the direct recording could help. Very jealous of the Ampeg Sub Blaster.

I think you should combine your formal demos with guest players with this more informal/adlibbed commentary. It’s nice to see both performance demos and how to sit down and think about how to approach the new in combination with what you already have. It’s how I ended up adding the Mini Jive to my YYZ. But I think I’m going to put it in front instead of behind. Great job as usual.

Say it with me everyone: Gregor 👏 is 👏 wonderful 👏

Gregor: “I like it simple, I don’t want to pick out among 10 drive pedals” First pedal: EQ with distortion Second pedal: distortion Third pedal: another distortion Gregor you are my hero.

What I really like about your videos is your joy in bass. You share what you like, and I seem to like the same stuff. I hope this works out so we can continue to share this joy :)

Is nice to hear you play Gregor been a fan for years brother.

Great demo. Lovely to see YOUR choice of pedals for the board you use. 😀

I realy like your video's... thanks for demonstrating the Ampeg pedal.

Great demo & playing Gregor! U ruuule 🤟🏻

Sick grooves!

Excellent video! Please carry on showing your gear, how you record bass, and anything you're passionate about! Long live the Bass!!!

I feel like a lovely person of the internet now.

You rock, Gregor!

Lovely distorted sounds!

This guy is great. Love his sense of humour

Servus Gregor! Super cool!

Great video! It woud be great if you show a zoom image as you begin talking about each pedal.

Hi Gregor. As usual - a very informative and clear video, as should be. But seeing another effects video brings up a question I'd like you to address at some point - a few analogue pedals or a multi effect packs

I wasn't familiar with Jam pedals. Thanxs for this video.

Wie immer geniale Präsentation. Und ich liebe die Bescheidenheit. Hier in Amerika ist das genau umgekehrt jeder der Mal ein paar Bilder mit einer Kamera gemacht hat ist gleich ein Top Photograph usw..war Mal im Guitar Center und hat Led Zeppelin Stairway gespielt Top Gitarrist 😂🤣😂🤣😂

At 3:26, you said it best. A little bit of extra 'nyeh'. My Big Muff is great for that, especially while feeding it with the EHX Bass Soul Food.

:-) when you think it is perfect and feeling satsisfied with your board and there is still a little longing to add something. Very interresting video

Dude that groove @:14 tho *chefs kiss*

Cheers Gregor for sharing your unique & very creative OCD. Gotta say The Ampeg & jive combo. Seriously? Its stank face eargasmotron territory! WooHoo I LIKE IT! 🤩 For me the tone weapon sleeper is the Rheingold. Like Noble or Vermuran the Stradivarius of pedal tone nicersisers. Expensive? Yes in comparison to lesser pedals. But relative to the above top tier of the tone heap not that bad. The relentless pursuit of THAT tone is a seriously addictive drug Thanks to class acts like the wetter bass & your team. I'm now a shameless tone slut junky. I might check out pov stricken & peniless. But as long as my bass rig gives GREAT tone. I will die happy! Thanks Bass The World!

Gregor you are far too tough on yourself regarding your bass playing! Excellent video! Best wishes- Brent, VT USA

Great video Gregor! Your enthusiasm is contagious and since I started watching your channel I've gone from zero to 12 pedals I'm experimenting with. I was wondering - what practice amp do you use at home? What is your preferred amp/rig for recording bass mic'd?

Great board and very dynamic possibilities! I understand I'm about a year late, but I'm inquisitive about why no compressor pedal? My main reason is that many bassists say they have one that is always on OR they despise them and that compressors can be a "crutch" for technique. I was hoping you might enlighten us about your thoughts on the subject of compression as you have/have not needed it in your career. Thank you!

Interesting to see what others use on their boards. Mine is a completely different animal: Polytune3 -> Crybaby wah -> Darkglass Hyperluminal compressor -> Eventide Black Hole -> Digitech SDRUM The polytune & hyperluminal are the go-to pedals, the others are for fun & learning :) What are others using on their boards?

Nice tea pot! Is that a cast iron pot? Kindly remind, if so, use it to boil water and pour the water into another teapot (Ike ceramic) to make tea. Don't make tea inside a cast iron pot directly. At least we seldom do it in China and Japan.

@@basstheworldofficial argh then better change the habit. As the tannic acid inside the tea leaves react with the iron ions of the teapot in high temperature. Best scenario: speedup the rusting of the teapot and you drink the rusted iron. Worst scenario: tannic acid react with iron sulfate (depends on the tech they use when casting the teapot) to become iron gall ink (Google it), and you drank the ink.... In both cases you will make the tea look darker than they should be. So, please use the cast iron to boil the water. And pour it into another teapot to make the tea. It is believed that boiling water with cast iron pot will make the tea softer (which I haven't tested it, but my family believe in this. Oh, I didn't mentioned my grandfather and uncles sold tea for a century in China. ). And softer water is good for making heavily fermented tea, such as most of the western tea (Earl grey, black tea or breakfast tea, or the Chinese dark Pu-erh), as soft water helps the tea to dissolve better and taste less bitter. I was born in Hong Kong and live in a family that drink tea more than water for 38 years. Thank you or giving me so much info on basses. In return I would be more than happy to share useful info on tea for your reference. Cheers

Not elitest at all friend. A guy I used to work with was in a local band and I set up his guitar rig to get in shows for free. He had me come to practice to learn to use his rack tuner. He told me people pay to have a good time so it is only right to make sure your tuning is perfect. That stuck and I don't care if I'm playing to a click track or a bird singing outside, I want the tuning and intonation as close to perfect as possible.

Gregor doesn't suck at bass. But if that is Roibuschtee, he could improve his tea'ing by getting some nice black teas! A man of your stature should appreciate quality in all things! not just bass related.
