I like the last bass, active, for more tone. When I think of active I think of Marcus Miller- Nathan from Fourplay- Babbit one of the Funk brothers of Motown. And a dear friend of mine George G.
I love bass players. Drummers best friend
Why does Craig talk and move like a living LA noire character (The video was actually really helpful btw)

He could be a little nervous. Giving a public presentation is not as easy as you think.
Playing a G&L, like a true connoisseur :-)
1:11: "You can hear it without even plugging your bass into an amp" * plays bass through amp *

He was referring to changing finger placement without changing pickup selection
Strong Patrick Bateman vibe.

He definitely has a "freezer full of kitten heads" vibe
I can't tell if he's being sarcastic or not.

@@redacted5035 I think I was trying to say “here’s the killer, I think he’s serious” .. I don’t know what the algorithm did, because I know I didn’t say that, and I didn’t realize whatever I said was printed “that” way, or I would have edited it. 😵💫

He might actually be a little nervous. In college when I had to give a presentation, I had to act confident but it came off a little awkward
Craig is the best sales engineer!
would be good to have the drums not louder than the bass. turn them down by 80%. then you can hear the difference in pickups.
My man, Craig!
I don't play bass, but I love the sound of an upright bass. Since I am a singer songwriter I am learning about other instruments: Their placement in Jazz is important, so I need to know how to compress and EQ them better. Even when I am performing I do EQ and compress some songs I perform. Learning about an instrument can be the difference between a note it can and can not play. I use Finale as my means of writing the 2nd way. Piano is first for me. Thanks for the video.

I like this guy. He has this extraordinary way to speak :)
Both cranked always
Yes
Nices Ton Bass
P with soapbar ( billy Sheehan) or pj
You didn't play anything for soapbar
My favourite pickups are: "What's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this" and "Heaven must be missing an angel." I don't recommend the vintage "Club & drag" pickups. Effective, but far too harsh for modern times. It's best to explore all the possibilities before settling on what works best for you. Once you've found the right one, I personally recommend bringing some PJs, just in case it's an all nighter.
Hay model G&L is that at the end?

Can anyone explain what a sales engineer is? Is it just a fancy way of saying salesman?

I guess that the engineer part means that you can ask for specs and they will deliver, on the other side a salesman is focused on... sales
Is no one going to comment on his shirt thingy only being zipped halfway… it’s driving me crazy 😩

Is he an android programmed with words to say?
You use pauses in your talking in a very off-putting way
Salesman can't be engineers, you need separate qualifications.
Gee, could you be any more biased towards the Fender type basses? You couldn’t even bring yourself to mutter humbucker let alone play a traditional humbucker.
