Great video, brilliant player.
On the bass front, something I've never really understood is "growl" and how to get it. Is it simply a small amount of overdrive distortion, or does it come from the guitar, the type and length of strings, the amp? If you play a low note on a good piano, you can hear a "growl" in the string sound. The sound I'd like is the way a Music Man Stingray can sound ( I know...buy a Stingray! but that ain't happening now)
Playing bass in a (pub Blues) band, I always struggled to get a sound I liked. If I cranked up the treble enough to make the bass stand out, the thinner strings ( D and G ) would start to sound too twangy for blues. I never resolved this, to my annoyance. Bass was/is a Warwick active thing ( entry level, cost about £450, 15 years ago ) amp was an Ashdown 300w combo with single 15" driver.
( Another problem we never resolved was a lead singer who, when excited, would hold the Shure SM58 hard against his lips and sing/shout too loud, creating a "day-centre-bingo" sound that occupied the full audio spectrum making everything sound shite. I sometimes wondered if we should make him sing with a budgie cage on his head to train him in mic technique)
Mind you, nowadays I'd kill for the chance to stand in the corner of a busy, sewaty pub and belt out "Key to the Highway", pint by my side...sigh.
