He covered a Death song! Thank u so much for bringing more attention to them. They were ahead of their time.

You mentioned watching Thomas the Tank Engine…. So here’s a **FUN BEHS-based FACT** that involves Thomas the Tank Engine ! The Chief Modeler for the first series of “Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends” on TV was *TIM STAFFELL* Who years before had been the one-time Bassist and Vocalist for a band called SMILE - alongside one Brian May on guitar/vocals, and Roger Taylor on drums/vocals. When Tim Staffell decided to leave Smile for other opportunities with a band called Humpy Bong… He was replaced on Lead Vocals by his Ealing Arts College classmate and friend FARROKH “FREDDIE” BULSARA. Farrokh changed the band name to QUEEN, and his own name to FREDDIE MERCURY. And then , after running through up to 7 bassists … The band Queen finally met, auditioned and hired one young and shy 19 year old bassist named… JOHN DEACON ! And so that one fateful decision by TIM STAFFELL to leave his band resulted in TWO legendary outcomes: 1) QUEEN (And John Deacon’s rise to Bass Legend status) 2) The tv show adaptation of THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE.

Thanks for that info. I didn't know Tim Staffell was also the bassist, and I didn't know what he also did, so I'm glad to hear that he had a good outcome as well.

@@herseem here’s another “small world, innit?” piece of trivia involving Tim Staffell : Once Tim was established as a working graphic artist, an American artist Jim Laurier approached him to design a “friendly-looking alien” for a magazine cover (July 1980 edition of Creepy magazine) Tim took the commission, created said alien character (who read what looked like an alien glossy magazine), got paid and moved on…no big deal, right ? A few years later, a long-time musician gained permission from Laurier to use that magazine cover art as the cover of his new solo album. (With a slight tweak of adding the musician’s picture on the alien’s reading material) On the back of the album was the musician reading a copy of that Creepy magazine July 1980 edition, so it appears that the alien and the musician are reading about each other. Very cute repurposing, right ? Here’s the twist - that musician was ROGER TAYLOR, for his solo album Fun In Space. (Released 6 April 1981) He had no idea that his long-lost buddy Tim Staffell had designed the alien on the magazine cover… And Tim had no idea his alien had been repurposed for Roger’s album ! Neither found out until the two reunited some years later, and Tim spotted the album (featuring his alien) on Roger’s mantelpiece while visiting his home.

Tune the guitar to an open chord and use it as a drone note to play behs on top of, bonus if you use a slide on both.

I mean Mike Rutherford from Genesis used to duct tape his Rick 4001 and Rick 12 string together to make it a double neck so you’re not that far. That bass is a golden relic! 😹😹

Nice to hear a bit of Death.

i typically don’t comment but thank you danny for not selling out and valuing keeping the music alive over making a quick buck! in this day and age advertising is far too common, and it’s a breath of fresh air refusing sponsorships.

Danny, I love your videos. You're so much more relatable than all these KZreadrs who play bass. Unlike them, you're a bass player with a KZread channel, and I mean that in the most flattering way.

I have never played the behs but I really enjoy your videos. Your entertainment value and skills are compelling.

Good day from across the pond. You are a breath of fresh air. I needed this video today. Thank you and "Maye the Bass be with you."

Thanks Danny for your EXCELLENT BEHS program. Very entertaining and informative. I am a diehard Behsist and I love all things BEHS….your program at the forefront. You and Davy504 rule the BEHS roost ! If all politicians learned BEHS… it would be a better world.

Love the videos!

Found your channel because I was looking up behs ukulele. I'm unlikely to ever play behs, but love your channel.

I'm a punk bass player and just got a load of video production equipment, seeking to start my own bass social media. I'm also the same age as you and have been playing for 20 years on and off professionally. I also hate YT's advertising and monetization restrictions. I'll take all the flags and piss away all the money. I don't care. Mark my words Danny: We're going to collaborate one day!

I love your style. I actually really like that thing. The loop idea is a great one.

That’s my favorite episode of season 1. I like the follow up, whistles and sneezes

So good love the subtle references

I'm really looking forward to the day you're opening your Behs Pro Shop

dont worry danny im an addict too i just bought an old BEHS from the 80's it was just the body and im tryna find parts for it rn i looked it up and well its worth a couple thousand and the parts will only cost like 200 dollars so sometimes buying something just for fun can work out pretty damn well so yes BEHS imma look at BEHS'S DRINKING OR NOT DRINKING

I love the death album and you featuring keep on knocking made my day.

That bridge looks familiar. I reckon that bass might have been made in Japan in the 80's. These were actually nice basses, and are getting collectable. Shame it's been cut in half. 😆 But save that piece of door panel mate. It's now the most valuable part.

I had a Hondo II P-bass that had these with unchromed brass saddles that went through-body like this. It was pretty good in fact, not surprising as many Japanese factories were all pretty recently kitted out with cnc. Encore were rubbish though.

Charles B is for inspiration and ideas . You're for learning, laughing and loving.......THE BEHS!!!!!

You are simply the best and soooo funny and clearly a very good behs playa.

Never expected to see anyone talk about Death on here !. Such a cool and ahead of their time band. Big respect Danny !.

I really like your bass buying chart, I need one those. I also need a reason to drink/not drink chart to consult before looking at the bass chart.

Bought my first BEHS at the tender age of 16 in 1975 2nd hand for £60. It was a 1964 Burns Vista Sonic with 3, yes 3 pickups. I still have it and I still love it. I found it in a well renowned music shop that had been ransacked by local scmbgs. They took the Gibsons, Fenders and Rickenbackers but threw the poor old Burns in a corner. It has at least 3 coats of purple paint over the sunburst finish, it is missing the bridge cover, pickup cover (which I took off because it got in the way of my style of playing), and has more chips and scratches than I can count, but I love it. I played it in 2 bands in my teens and twenties and my son has also played it on stage. I have been offered stupid amounts of money for it. I don't believe it's worth that much but I still refused to sell.

I love this man

Haha, yeah. I was thinking the guitar couldn’t hold it’s tune, and just then you mentioned you shoulda tuned it first!

Hey! Thanks for introducing me to Death. 😎

Just brilliant👍👍👍👍

Day 141 of asking for Flea’s Behs tone.

Takeshi from Boris uses one of those (Rickenbarker)

While back I found bass for 10 gbp with combo amp, it was low end bass but fully functional and didn't sound half bad apart from combo. I gave to a friend, so he could join other bands

I have an idea for a future video with that double neck. I'm thinking a Bon fire.

On the flow chart, you should have had the option "Have I been drinking... ENOUGH?" Hahahaha

Love Death! Would be cool if you covered “Politicians In My Eyes” at some point.

I'm okay with adds especially if they were for Bass stuff

lolol always quality content! lol

My guy pulled out the Flying Kipper… He is a real one I am now convinced.

Danny ur not gonna stop me from looking at that Ibanez fretless even when im blacked out

When someone drunk heard of Mike Rutherford. "Wut a guitar and a bass together? Ay can do that"

Show us some looper pedal stuff !!! BTW you play guitar so I understand your heart throb for this one.

That behs/ guitar would be perfect for a duo with the lady of your dreams playing a tapping solo “down below” while you keep a solid groove “up there” if you catch my drift 🤣

All this BEHS yet I'm still thinking about Henry and the flying kipper 😂🚂. Ahh yes, the double neck... hmmm, it's a bit Frankenbass meets Genesis!

Keep not doing Ads Big Man

the P-Bass actually sounded surprisingly good, the Strat sounded exactly like I thought it would lol

Danny, if things get too much you could always stick it on the fire and get the heat out of it. Subscribed.

Great post! Also, about maybe having to have tuned the Strat-ish guitar before filming: I blame a factory fault. After all, when I first started to study double behs in school (1965, fifth grade) and behs guitaaar two years later, I was told, and maintain to this day, that "They told me they tuned this behs at the factory." Clearly the maker of the Strat-ish half of your newest acquisition was negligent. 😊

Crown Lands make good use of one of those.

Recreate Jimi Hendrix setting his guitar on fire at Monterey Pop Festival. Just don't burn your hands like Hendrix did. Or smash it like Paul Simonon did for "London Calling."

Two things I hate. Basses with more than four strings. Slap bass.

Do a video on Mike Rutherford. He was a pioneer of the double necked Guitar/Bass and he switched back and forth a lot on Squonk for a Trick of the tail.

Enjoyable as always! With 'instruments' such as this one, the key word to use is 'prototype" , ha!

Honestly can't believe the thumbnail of the volume/tone knob plate being right up there wasn't photoshopped.

The neck on that encore looks pretty decent...

On top of being a great musician You are absolutely hilarious 😂💚

was that a Washburn Falcon I spotted in the Montage?

I'm paying up a black Epiphone Les Paul Special bass at a nearby Cash Converters at the moment. Can't wait to make the last payment on it!

Great vibes, subscribed. I'm an American but live in Sheffield UK now...trying to place the accent, where are you from?? You drove to Rotherham so maybe not far away from Sheff?
