towards the end it would sound a hell of a lot better if 'doofus' didn't come in and play with the effects to 'better demonstrate the pedal'... should of left it as is

too much effect in i think!

I get the feeling that most of the stuff he did (with the exception of the delay riff) would sound a million times better without all the effects.

i have been playing bass for a couple months now, but what is he doing at 2:18 when his hand playing goes up the neck?

coltvids16 2 years ago

@coltvids16

He is tapping the root notes on the E string with his right hand.

Not virtuoso, he just actually has a good right hand technique. Which isn't always too common nowadays!

MarkWrestldAbearOnce 2 years ago

If you check out his other videos you'll find his left hand is also beastly but I agree, it doesn't seem very virtuostic - very original but not pushing any barriers

I don't know of any funk song had that type of continuous playing..Funk has groove..that is just slap,pop,slap,pop and on and on

Nazman06 2 years ago 2

Ah, I just assumed you didn't like slap n' pop playing at all. Well, this is a pedal demo and not a real song, very few people would play like that continously for a whole song. As a short fill or solo on the other hand...

pablo9000 4 years ago

Too bad he can't simply play a note and let it sustain so that I can actually hear what the effect is doing.

craigdamage 4 years ago

the reason why he did that style is because that what he's known for. and for sure he was ask to do his own style of playing bass... coz he is showing the world that these effects can be used for what ever style you got.

peace...

scorp8503 4 years ago

Thanks!

In that case I would certainly state that his style does not lend itself well to ANY effects.

All attack and no decay. I can only hear the initial "wah" and nothing else. I love the sound of the note decay on a good envelope filter. A kinda shimmering drippy sound as the note plays on.

craigdamage 4 years ago

Doug is a groove master my brother! He will give you nightmares!!!!!!

4strings4me 3 years ago 12

I will not argue he is really fast.

Sadly that is NOT the definition of "groove"

His technical mastery of the instrument is breathtaking but he really isn't grooving here.

If you are here at youtube I strongly urge you to look into the following: "James Jamerson"

"Meters Jungle Man" and "Larry Graham Funk Original Pt.1" --those are examples of real groove. You will likely be disappointed by how slow some are but they are actual greasy grooves,funky and in the pocket.

craigdamage 3 years ago

doug actually keeps better time than any drummer i've ever seen- he's not just technique - when you see him with a band he's not a wanker - he doesn't step on toes - his solo stuff is different

jakeandkatie 3 years ago

I believe you. I would suppose with a full band he is tight and solid. Trust me,I have too much respect and didn't mean as to sound if slandering this bassist. I guess I am just TOO INTIMIDATED by fast bass players! Ha!

craigdamage 3 years ago

Doug IS intimidating as a soloist, but when you see him as part of an actual rhythm section he actually inspires!

roehee1234 1 year ago

I'd have to agree. If I was the Product Manager for Pigtronix I would be asking Doug to write/play tunes that helped sell the device. Doing that would require that he compose something that fit the effect, which is what someone like Tal Wilkenfeld would have done. What's he played here, wasn't helped by the device at all, and frankly made me think he was more interested in selling his playing style, than the device.

Pigtronix guys: Hire Tal or Peter Muller, next time. You'll get more sells.

bourgeoisbrats 3 years ago

I certainly don't think that Doug needs the help of pigtronix to sell his playing. I think his playing in the video displays the uses of pigtronix products in a big way. I suppose they think so too, why else would they have hired him to demo the products?
