The Danelectro 6-string Bass and the Beach Boys

The Danelectro 6-String bass is all over Beach Boys records (and 60s Pop records in general.) Learn what makes it unique in this video, how Brian Wilson used it, and learn about the difficulties of identifying it for transcription and production analysis purposes. When the Dano bass shows up in a song that I am going to analyse, it will get some discussion time relating to that song, but I thought a little general intro might help. I hope it is useful to some of you! The tone of both instruments is not exactly dialed in here, because I had to use a neutral amp setting to cover a few different songs and styles. So tune in for each individual song for a more accurate representation of the full capabilities of the basses. ~~~~~~~~~ Uke fundraiser!! https://www.gofundme.com/f/recording-... ~~~~~~~~~ Getting hit by quarantine and lockdown has been devastating for everyone, and that includes artists and musicians who try to make fun things for people to watch while they're stuck inside while they wait out the storm. If you've enjoyed this video, consider donating or becoming a patron to help make it possible for me to make videos. It often takes close to 40 hours to make these videos up -- the equivalent of a full week's work. So any donation really helps to allow me to commit the resources to making these. Thank you very much for considering it. DONATE HERE: https://www.gofundme.com/f/recording-... or   / joshilyn   Thank you so much for your encouragement.
