Hello From Jeff Berlin

[India_Sierra]

Welcome back Jeff! Glad to see you back on Talkbass. I can't wait for Joe Frazier round 3!

 

[Funky Ghost]

Howdy Jeff, do you still use MarkBass primarily? I have your sig amp with the NYC115 cab and have really dug them for many years now. I can't make them sing like you do but I do a decent version of me with 'em

Take care.

It is a pleasure to have this new opportunity to chat with people on Talkbass about learning how to play better. Being back in this forum is a marvelous thing. It allows me to share thoughts about learning the bass in ways that I have learned and researched over many years. If learning well is an interest you have, please chime in and say hello.

Best regards to all from Jeff

I LOVE your solo on the track Bach. Maybe my favourite by anyone ever.

Jeff we are honored by your presence! As someone who agrees with what you have to say, I look forward to hearing from you here!!

Welcome back sir; it is always a pleasure to expand knowledge of the bass cleft on this forum.

 

[JeffBerlin]

Many thanks to everyone. To answer a couple of questions:

1. I LOVE my Markbass amps and have loved them since the very first instant that I plugged into one The richness of bass tone combining the amp sound with my Rithimic bass was coincidentally the best combination of tone I ever had.

2. Regarding Joe Frazier Rd. 3, as many do, we try to upgrade our playing from what we once played like beforehand. Here's a quick ten seconds of a demo of the song. What makes this especially great for me is that the bass tone is directly from the back of my amp combined with the d.i. from the bass. It is simply a great tone for me.

 

[JeffBerlin]

This is just an example of the tone that I liked for this song. I actually plan to do some rather cool things with the bass tone on other sections.

 

[Kaa]

I have a question. Do you pluck near the bridge for tone or for comfort?

 

[JeffBerlin]

I've played over or near the back pickup since I first picked up a bass guitar. It was where I felt that I could get the most punchy tone out of my bass and seemed to gravitate to this position almost from the first.

Oh, P.S. I move more toward the middle position between both pickups when I play walking bass lines.

Welcome back Jeff!
I had the pleasure of seeing a clinic you held back in the early 2000's at Smith Music in Dundee Illinois.

Hello Jeff. Welcome back. Thanks for all of the great music and advice you have given to us for all of these years.
I last saw you in Chicago a few years ago with Scott Henderson and Mike Clark. That was a GREAT night.
Happy New Year!
