hello so our little formal society nice
to meet y'all and I'm going to show you
my gear that I'm using on the live
performances so here we go this one
right here is to take 21 BT bass deluxe
one you know I'm in love with this
you know you just crank grew a little
bit of driving this character so it
almost gives you like a distortion like
throwing sound on top so it really cuts
through the mix that's a good one I
think I've had it for like maybe two to
three years so there for quite a long
time although I'm really gonna try out
you know those dark glass ones when I
get back home you know everybody's been
saying good words about it so yeah it's
pretty similar to that I guess so here
we go I'm using the Shores like geo X
tomorrow you know it's a glxp that one
right there it's like really compact not
too many like moving parts or anything
so I'm really counting on my life with
that you know so this one right here is
my name one
it's an ESP e2j for serious packed up
with EMG pickups so it's really a pretty
one you know and I love the part of that
you know you can like attach the strings
like through the body
you got like bass treble blend and then
volume into it for this one the bass is
like pretty much cranked up to the
fullest you know I'll just turn it down
a little bit and then like the treble on
it's like pretty much up higher there
just a little bit cranked down straight
don't lose it too much and this one with
the mics I'm like keeping it in to the
middle and the one well that's full of
course you know and this one is actually
also a nice piece of gear you know made
by heap shot and you know it's this d2
heard everything so it's like you know
under standard tuning so it's one of one
click away that it's like drop D so
that's pretty handy and badass strings
off I think I'm using the Ernie balls
hundred to five to fifty more
using like 45 to Hani red but with drop
tuning and all its like soon it gets to
like you know boy spaghetti like
soonish so this has like more like how
do you say sustains like the clear
clarity in it better and it feels better
you know you can play with more power so
we don't hit like to pick up some may
call that slappy crappy noise or
whatever you know this is my spare one
it's an ESP e to a p4 it's also pretty
badass one mainly I was just like you
know warming up with this one it's good
for that you really love it you have the
switch in here so you can decide if it's
like active or passive you know you can
do more styles with this base for sure
basically you know kind of same details
jumbo frets 21 like the same in my main
base with the drug tune in the train you
know
finger all the way mouth that's lap
dancing you know I was using like fixed
when I was playing guitar like before
starting with the base but when I got
the bass in my house I just felt like
you know it needs to be done with
fingers so I kind of figured it's my
style to go for it so hey thanks for
y'all for having the time to check out
my gear you know
come see us live come listen how we
sound with this equipment it's a love
y'all
