Stambaugh 6-string Video (Incubus song)

Lokire · #1 12-17-2006, 02:22 PM

I forgot to post this one here. This is the first video/soundclip I did of my new Stambaugh 6-string custom. This bass is everything I hoped for and then some. With the help of Chris Stambaugh, we made all the right wood and electronics choices for the tone I wanted. It sounds perfect!

This is a vid of me playing to the song "Crowded Elevator" by Incubus. Recorded direct through a DI, passive mode on the bass, and both pickups in the bridge-side single coil setting. The passive mode sounds exactly like the active mode with the EQ set flat. No volume or tone difference. It's awesome
