[TroyJames101]

Thank you for posting this. This is how I would like to be able to play bass someday and you are an inspiration.

[FIXXTHE]

Why do you use a glove on your left hand ?

[devinebass]

@FIXXTHE I've got a medical condition called focal dystonia... long story ;)

[aeonavinash]

[porcimeaeinfloare]

[devinebass]

@porcimeaeinfloare Lol!!! Yeah that must be it! I knew I should put some slap and pop in there ;) Next time ... ;)

[666patrickbateman666]

@porcimeaeinfloare

Great improv Scott !

Only 2 players can slap musically:

Stanley Clarke

Mark King

The world doesn't need more !

[showtimed23]

@666patrickbateman666 how dare you make a stupid comment like that....have you not heard marcus miller, victor wooten, etc.....smh

[666patrickbateman666]

@showtimed23

How dare you make a STUPID comment like that

You're too young and stupid to know anything about good musicians !

[showtimed23]

@666patrickbateman666 really seeing how i come from a family of good musicians..its funny you say im too young and im willing to bet i gig more than you and im only 17 years old

[Blacksplayer]

@666patrickbateman666

We don't read such " stupid comment " like yours often..

Mark King and Stanley, looks like YOU don't know much about music,

and surely not about bass.

From a bass player.

[4iamu]

Sounds like Stanley Clarke!! Great job bro!

[BassmanDannyFox]

Beautiful bro, love it! Can I smell sour grapes or is it the 4 dislikes? Nice to see you perform, only ever seen bits of your lessons. Respect, Danny

[devinebass]

@BassmanDannyFox Lol!!! Love it man ;) Hope ya well! S.

[csgrinds]

Really beautiful

[csgrinds]

Beautiful

[malesmandi]

beautiful playing man!! i like it

[Evin07]

If you're using reverb, could you tell me what kind it is? I love reverb on bass and this sounds great...

[devinebass]

@Evin07 Yeah man... it's an electro harmonix reverb pedal... just a cheap one... one big dial in the middle. S

[felallende]

you're great!!!, I've been eating your lessons this week...what kind of string r u using in this song?, clearly the first one is a B, am I right? Cheers!!!

[devinebass]

@felallende Hey man thanks for checking my lessons out! Actually my bass is strung E - C instead of B - G. It's basically a four string with a higher string instead of a lower one. Easy man ;)

[Timmy4pawz]

@devinebass Yeah I was thinking about doing this to my Yamaha, I rarely use the low B and I can't really get the balance right so it normally comes out so bassy maybe I should lower the pick-ups, what strings are you using? Round-wounds Im guessing?

[devinebass]

@Timmy4pawz Yeah just Overwater round-wounds

[Timmy4pawz]

@devinebass Nice, we got Overwaters at our college, played it through an EBS rig, sounds fantastic

[aassyr1111]

YOU ARE A GOD 

[devinebass]

@aassyr1111 Lol! Cheers man ;)

[ianhit]

@aassyr1111 Scotty the GOD!!!! I like that!!!

[aassyr1111]

@ianhit exactly man.

isn't he amazing ?? :D

[ianhit]

@aassyr1111 Sure thing!!!! I knew him when we were at school together - it is good to see that he is even more of a God now, than he was back then!!!!!! Well done Scotty!!!! I am happy to see that you are doing so well for yourself and your teaching is really great! 

[joosjoos]

nice KRK's...got the same ones :)

[GoldenShepherd]

bro, your bass almost sounded like those very jazzy hollow guitar.. are using any reverb or anything?

[devinebass]

@GoldenShepherd Yeah i'm using a little reverb... but it sounds like it does because i'm only using the neck pickup which has a very mellow tone. Cheers man.

[fenderjbass19]

Great stuff man, Ran across your video's on MarloweDK's page and then spent a few hours on your actual site. Thanks for your fantastic lessons. I will be a frequent visitor to your site.

Anthony.

[devinebass]

@fenderjbass19 Great stuff man!

[bemolable]

man. is spacing strings 1.75mm on that bass?

[devinebass]

@bemolable It's even tighter lol... it's 16mm.

[MrSnarf2011]

Sounds really sweet, can you tell me what your running your sound through? Is it direct to a desk with onboard reverb? Love your approach! Cheers.

[erickfogtman]

That was PHENOMENAL! You are a great player scott, i really like your style!

[devinebass]

@erickfogtman Cheers man! S.

[TwinMillMC]

Why do you wear a black glove?

[trofantos]

@TwinMillMC oh come on !!! this question is getting old !!! he has a condition ; focal dystonia

[devinebass]

@TwinMillMC Yeah man, i have focal dystonia and the glove helps me keep it under control. Easy ;)

[TwinMillMC]

@devinebass I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend you in any way. I'm new to your channel so I didn't know this. I play bass too - I think you're an amazing player my man! Keep up the amazing work!

[devinebass]

@TwinMillMC Lol... Lol... you didn't offend me in any way so don't worry about it. Thanks for checking my vids on man! S.
