Hey guys, I made a new video on whether perfect pitch is important for musicians. Take a look and enjoy! Hugh Cheers,

Each to their own!

Hey everyone, I just posted a new lesson which demonstrates 15 chords for the bass! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXaRJLqYtaA Take a look and if you've got any questions then just send them over Cheers, Hugh

Hey guys, It's been a while since I last posted a video on here! I did a load of recording projects last year and they reminded me of some super important lessons I learned about recording. It inspired me to put these lessons into a short video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2Mukjbr--c Would love to know what you all think! Cheers, Hugh

Oh my bad for not saying. I have an Insta and Facebook page that I chat to bassist on. Should've said before lol

Hey guys! I had quite a few requests to do a video overview of the difference between active and passive basses so just wanted to drop this hear incase it can be of help to anyone. Enjoy! Hugh

We do! I’d recommend giving it a go. The right pick ups can really bring a cheap bass to life. These certainly did for me in this video!

Hey guys! A while back I posted a review of a $70 bass I was sent on here. Shortly after a company from the states called Sonic Pickups sent me some of their jazz bass pickups to install. Here's the review. For me I think the sonics sound much richer, fuller, fatter and have a bigger sonic (excuse the pun) range than the pickups that came with the Glarry. Would love to hear what you guys think! Hugh

Hey guys! I hope everyone is well. I just published a new video on how to learn songs quickly. It's been a really useful skill during my career so I thought I'd share some tips. Take a look and let me know what you think! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBqmUz-8jT4 Cheers, Hugh!

That is literally the dream DI hahaha Thanks so much for your kind words and support

It is a drawback for sure. The Jule Monique has this feature but you do pay way more for it. You make a great point I must say. How suitable a DI is really does depend on how it fits into your gig set up. As I said in the video, if you’re one of the guys who tours with just a DI and in ears then you don’t have to worry about the through. You can get the DI sound the same as the front of house. However, if you’re an amp guy (who doesn’t love a good amp 😜) then maybe something else is better. So glad you enjoyed the video!

I’ve not tried the countryman but I’d love to if I get the chance. How long have you had it? You’re spot on about the REDDI. I mostly use it for recording and theatre gigs where I know it will be in one place for a long time. However, when I do travel with it I use a VERY protective case! So glad you liked the video

Hey guys! I've pitted all my DI's against one another for the ULTIMATE DI shoot out! They range from $200 all the way up to $1700 and full of audio clips for you to hear them in action. Which of these five do you like best? Cheers, Hugh!

Yeah they sent me this one to keep but it's a standard model they make. I wasn't involved in the design or anything. In terms of use I'd want to modify it a little before I use it to try and address some of the balance issues it has but I think it's useable for sure. Funnily enough a pickup maker from the states got in touch and has sent me some of his pickups to put in so I'm going to do an upgrade video with this bass so I can compare before and after. If I end up with a bass that sounds great and all in only cost me about $300/400 then I'd be very happy. I'm really interested to see how it turns out!

Haha nice man! Good to connect on here. You’re totally right though. It’s not snobby, you’re just acknowledging where you are and what you think. Cheers for for checking out the video!
