  Great video! I sugested put one pickup at neck (like Epiphone SG EB-03) and middle like Rickenbacker

  Hello Mike, thanks for the video. I'm planning to mod a bass soon and I wanted to ask a few questions about the wiring, based on what you did here with your 5 pick up bass. Is there anyway to reach out to you in a DM? Thanks

  Man, this is by far the best explanation about the differences of 2 an 3 EQ I ever heard. Thank you so much for bringing these specific details so close to us. I am a big fan of the 2 EQ "Hifi" sound for slap funk bass lines and your video nailed my final decision to chase a 2 EQ stingray now. So, I am more than grateful👌

  Snap, you have an Alembic bass? I'd love to see if you could create an Alembic or a Wal from a Squier with a pedal like the So High So Low.

• 
  @mikedeeez27 күн бұрын

  Thanks! Good catch - and yeah, that is a really good idea! Hmmm... I'll look into what that might take. Cheers Also, yep, I love the idea of the So High So Low pedal; I'd love to get one. I actually have a JTEX Distiller that I built into a pedal, which is similar, but only includes a low-pass filter and preset "gain" settings. The SHSL would be super cool to try out.

• 
  @chillpillologyАй бұрын

  the 3 is really tough to dial in and does not sound good. Both are lacking imo, the phase shift is out of control, id rather go onboard preamp w/o EQ into a real outboard EQ, like a GML. If im recording, get rid of everything and go direct like the control sound here.

  Good question - it's a P-bass pickguard from Warmoth, but I ordered it WITHOUT any pickup cuts. Then I cut it myself with a Dremel to fit the Stingray pickup. Cheers

• 
  @mikedeeezАй бұрын

  Here are a couple of videos I've seen - for a quick circuit explanation: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hWlhmqienamZlpc.html For a sound demo, this is a pretty good one: kzread.info/dash/bejne/omuIk859e87NhaQ.html Since you adjust the gain, though, it can actually go anywhere from just boosting the treble a bit (because it counteracts long cable runs), to a noticeable boost (good for solos), and finally all the way up to actually overdriving if you use higher-output pickups like the ones in this video (which actually starts making the sound THICKER again). Maybe I should make a demo video of different settings! Cheers

  Technically Dick dale had the first reverse headstock? except it was more like reversed strings at that point. Depends on perspective i guess. Definitely could be the first mainstream superstrat because randy bachmans "superstrat" was from before he was famous

• 
  @mikedeeez2 ай бұрын

  Thanks! That's exactly right - Dick Dale's kind of a weird case because it's a "stock" configuration (lefty body / lefty neck), but with only the STRINGS reversed, not the neck. Kind of like Hendrix's setup, but 100% mirrored. 😲 It does still get the advantages of a reversed neck though. Amazing that Dick Dale could play with those reversed strings...! The Dick Dale Signature Stratocaster DOES have a reverse headstock setup, but that didn't come out until ~1994, apparently.

  What's interesting is how little difference there is comparatively between the two "neck" pickups but the Rick pickup position sounds very different to either pickup next to it. also the one really need the bridge(70s jazz bass style?) sounds so much like a funky clav. almost useless as a "true" Bass sound but really unique and interesting when split too

  The 3EQ gives you more versatility, it does have a more modern tone. The 2EQ will give a classic tone. I got a Status Graphite Empathy, Tobias Growler and a ‘78 Jazz but it’s time to own Stingray. 😊 TQ for the video!

  great video, thanks. Would be nice if the "samples adjusted for equal volume" graphic wasn't blocking the frequency axis. Viewers: you get a peek of em at 7:17. Looks like that low end rolloff on the 3EQ starts at around 70Hz...

  Side note: I'm always surprised by frequency response comparisons like this. I would never even dream of doing such a narrow +20db treble boost in a mix...

  @mikedeeez2 ай бұрын

  Oh no... I can't believe I never noticed that! Ugh, bummer... 🤦‍♂ Apologies all, and yes, you're right about the graphic at 7:17. Good catch, and many thanks for the comment. For additional general reference - The frequency axis (the "x" axis) starts at exactly 20 Hz on the left, and goes to exactly 20 kHz on the right (i.e. typical range of human hearing). And it's a log scale, so the exact middle point is approximately ~620 Hz. Thanks!!

  May I ask - the “50%” - is that 50% _boost_ or is that “center detent”, e.g. 0% cut or boost?

•

  Absolutely, good question. 50% = "center detent", i.e. right in the middle of the TOTAL knob travel. 0% is all the way counterclockwise, 100% is all the way clockwise.

  I don't know is that a body, bad recording line without di and preamp, 4year strings, playing technique, dead hamsters in a pc or the fact he forgot to install 3 more pickups but all of them sounds quiet bad.

• 
  @mikedeeez2 ай бұрын

  This is a good opportunity to state for the record: I agree! It doesn't sound great. This is NOT how bass should be mixed. There is no high-pass filter (or any other EQ) at all, no gain, no amp sim or cab sim, minimal and non-specific compression, and it's mixed way too loud vs. the drums. This is all on purpose, because this video is to show the full difference between all of the pickup settings, with no coloration. But for sure, it's not flattering. e.g. At a minimum, I seriously think a HPF is almost essential in most cases. Definitely a skill issue here too - James Jamerson could make a bass sound great going (mostly) direct, but I am absolutely no James Jamerson. Less time tinkering and more time playing would be good, but I can't help myself... I admit I have a problem 🤣🤣 Anyway, hopefully it's not too distracting from the main point of the video, i.e. the differences between the sounds of the pickup positions. Cheers
