There might already have been a category where this could fit, but I couldn’t find it right away…
I know there’s not a lot of love for SBL in here, but this was both very entertaining, enlightening and dangerously GAS-inducing:

Their gear is a great investment really. It will be useful for a really long time. 25 year old Bass PODs still sound great.

I thought I was off multi-effects pedals after the GT-1B…
What I really liked in the video was to hear how relatively small changes had quite an impact. Maybe it’s time to revisit my transparent-with-a-smidgen-of-reverb purist attitude towards sound

I would think chorus or phaser would be clutch for Jazz. And maybe some overdrive - not for distorting, to add warmth and higher harmonics.

Beyond the Taco Bell dinner levels of GAS, the video was an interesting look into dissecting tone. Hearing his unfiltered thought stream in figuring out the different sounds has me analyzing a whole different aspect of bass.

As a fellow Northerner, I love him 
Love the way these two bounce off each other so well and have so much fun lol
That’s wild to me how he gets them dialled in so quickly though lol, I wouldn’t even know where to start

That’s certainly an aspect that I have overlooked in my ignorance…
I knew you had one, just didn’t remember which model.
Exactly! Made me aware in a very entertaining way how timid I had been in approaching this subject so far.
I know. IMA seems to be a bit of a sound buff, and you could tell he had a couple of his go-to amps and effects on speed dial.
I think he sells his patches somewhere…

Yeah overdrive is used more than you might expect. It’s huge in the Blues, in fact might be considered a borderline mandatory effect on blues guitar, but also works great on bass for this.

I always considered these effects to be of an on/off kind of nature (of course, still with different degrees of overdrive/distortion/fuzz). What I really like though is if you can blend dry and wet signals - that makes a whole lot of good sense to me

This is great! It helps to see someone dial in a bunch of tones by basically just using their favorite handful of amp/cab/effects and ignore most of the overwhelming number of options.
Fortunately I don’t feel like I need a multi effects pedal at this point because I have amplitube to play with all this stuff in.

mentioned it a while ago that i have been watching a lot of scott’s youtube content lately. his stuff has, imo, really improved since the old days. the new guy has been a great addition, he’s damn talented and a funny guy. and scott has loosened up a lot with the new guy, they work well together. this was a really fun video and got me pretty excited to start digging in deeper to my hx stomp.
