I like flatwounds, but for the music my band plays the sound isn't suitable for most songs, and I don't wanna switch between basses constantly. I use nickel roundwounds, and turn the treble very low. Neck pickup only.
--since I will never be able to slap like Davie 504, I never 'slap'. Do it right, or not at all, I say.
-Charles Berthoud vids are the opposite of inspiring, he makes me wanna quit.
That was the word I was looking for while drinking heavily last night. It was a day full of races, including the Bathurst 1000.
A quick look via Google says I have never heard of said Davie404, but I may take a few minutes to check out their work.
Davie 504 is a Italian bassist that makes a lot of videos. A lot is 'funny' crap, but he is an incredible player. Huge hands!
Charles Berthoud is the most astonishing bassist I ever heard, apart from MonoNeon.
My favorites are pretty mainstream and not all that controversial. Give me Lee, Flea, or Avery. Also, the dude from Primus. He can rock a bass. I don't tend to seek out bass players online
