  • Where the fuck are we?

  • your finger scares me, your hand is ugly while you are playing, looks like stressed

  • if you think ben kenney is a bad bass player than either you are deaf, have not heard him, or know nothing about what makes a good bass player. he's legit. just cause he doesnt slap constantly doesnt mean he's bad...he's a hell of a good bassist, just a different style then dirk. and anyways, a real incubus fan would accept the change in style.

  • @jasonmiester9 Ben's a good bassist, but I miss the groove & funk Dirk brought. Incubus isn't terrible now, but their basslines are a lot less interesting to me now. And real fans of any band aren't afraid to criticize them. I realize people change as they grow, but I'm let down with the direction they chose.

  • @UncleDomino I completely agree, I liked incubus better with dirk, his playing suited incubus much better. I just hate how people hate on Ben, just cause he plays in a different style.

  • dirklance is awesome in writing basslines..really really awesome

  • Omg that's so funky ! Awesome cover bro !

  • Your time is all over the place.

    Lock in with a metronome man.

  • just amazing dude ... keep playing like that.... (Y)

  • is your bass strung with flats? or is that the amp?

  • do you really need five strings for this song?

  • all good

    but use more your other fingers in your right hand

    You can use your thumb por playing the B string, so you can slap more comfortably

    and use your middle and ring finger for your octaves!

    but it's all good

    keep playing

    ps:Some of the terms i used might not be right cause english it's not my native tongue, i hope you understood me

  • let him play how he wants man !

    peace

  • @PaLiFoNk Lots of people play different ways. He made it sound fine. And you can tell this guy isn't a novice player. he plays just fine.

  • where the fuck are we?

  • not only is dirk proud.. but i am

    this is fucking legit

    man i wish more people could appreciate this awesome jazz funk metal

  • Good old times

  • Dirk would be proud

  • Jesus you can beat that dog! One of my all time favorite songs. Thanks for sharing - awesome playing!

  • wow wow wow ...i love this album, i miss Dirk Lance but i love Incubus and well..Ben make a good job too..saw him here in germany slapping !!! thats rare but i thought why hes playing with incubus if he cant play like dirk ^^ well..he can, but he have another style...

    Good job man !

  • god that tone ... thats what 3500 hundo gets you... I can only wish.... dirk and pnut were my influences too, the SST2 was always somewhat of a dream, do me a fav. play it like it should be , it looks bigger than you.

  • I'll repeat myself, Great bass playing !

  • wow it's different version of deep inside how can i find that song? thank you, and nice play you are just awesome bass player :D

  • its off of s.c.i.e.n.c.e. its the only song version i know of

  • You rock, man !

  • hey, that song has been one of my faves to perform too. i really like your touch and neatness =)

  • Excellent job man, really awesome!!!

  • Your tone is amazing! Is that a Warwick played through an Eden? I know thats what Alex used when he was in the band and your tone sounds almost exactly like it. Unfortunately, Ben's tone is nowhere near as good :(

  • Comment removed

  • dirk never used picks.......

  • yeh, i know

  • he used one rarely, i seen him use a pick when he played live once

  • weird to hear(read lol) that

  • how could i say that, lol

  • I miss dirk... :(

  • its different

  • Very very nice. Thanks for sharing.

  • whats that bass in the corner?

  • An SX PJ with an SX blocked replacement neck.

  • damn man nice cover. dirks bass lines are so fucking sick!

  • You nailed it! Awesome song, by the way.

  • Awesome man. Loving all your stuff

  • that's pretty good, you're relaxed and that's good.

    however i don't know why but your left hand seems so odd

    try to relax that to and not cramp up your fingers

    however good job man, congrats

  • Thats damn good.

  • sick

  • ...where the fuck are we???

  • I like it better with the bass eq'd out. brings your sound out lots better-i'd rather hear you on your video than dirk on your video.

    Can your amp handle that B string? wow....

    and I'm jealous of your pinky length.

    On Dirk and Ben...well, Ben's talented...but he's not a groove bassist. I like groove stuff, so I like dirk loads better. Plus, he's just better.

  • Hey dude, I need to freakin buy that bass. I saw it, and I became in love with it. Other to th fact that it's Dirk's bass! XD

  • hey dude how many warwicks do u have!!! love em

    ive got a corvette proline

  • i love your bass man!! i getting a corvette soon, but its gonna cost cuz im left handed, i dig dirks style, what amp u use?

  • wait warwick doesnt charge extra for left handed basses

  • I also was never happy with the thumb tone as much as I should have been and got my hands on a used SSII. Just Awesome. I'm running it through a WT800 and 410xlt which is just stunning. Have you decided on your perfect string yet? I'm still in the trial and error stage...the factory EMPs are pretty nice, but very hard to find. What do you suggest? I'd appreciate it if you could save me some time and money :)

  • Sweet! I didn't like the EMP strings very much. My favorites are DR Hi-Beams. I usually use medium lite gauge, but I'm going to buy a set of lite-lites and see how they are.

  • wow this is super doooper

  • dude you should video reply to SCOverstreet! find him and get together with him!

  • man i want your fu***n bass!!!xD

    youre pretty good, the sound is quite the same of dirk's!

  • Man, you're a really good bassit

    I think that you learn that song by ear ?

    A question, at which price did ya get

    that warrick bass ?

    Cool song dude (H)

  • awesome song, and awesome playing man. good job and keep it up.

  • you should contact stinckubus and replace ben kenney and help them become INCUBUS again lol

  • those are some pretty big shoes to fill :>

  • hey you can slap, thats one step ahead of ben lol

  • That's why Ben's making all the money and your sitting at home on a computer talking about him...

    Ben >>> You

    That wasn't directed at you azoore... you're an awesome bass player... makes me want to pick one up and play

  • hey i never said im any better then ben, but for a doing it as a professional..and/or compared to dirk hes garbage and if you actually think for a second hes got even a 10th of dirks talent you can go die

  • what a moron you are.... you obviously havent been playing bass for very long if you believe that. or you havent seen ben live. he blows dirk out of the water when it comes to spontaneity.

  • well congrats ur the only being on earth who believes that

  • you're a fucking dumbass if u think ben cant slap...fucking idiot!

  • lol im not gonna lie ben writes some pretty creative basslines his version of are you in sounded alright still no dirk but honestly ben doesnt slap, he might be able to do it but not comfortable enough to play in a performance..google it if you must and if you notice my comments keep gettin positive feedbacks but the ben fans dont...thanks i rest my case...ALL HAIL DIRK!!! for gods sake watch his vid with willie nerve clinic..simply amazing!!

  • i dont even like ben...but u gotta respect him..dnt get it twisted dirk is my favorite bassist, i know he's not the best but hes awesome in his own way..its just funny how people hate on ben...and not respect him

  • word

  • @Dynamiteskillsx 'Become' Incubus again? Incubus get better with each album and Ben Kenney is a sick bassist ...idiot

  • @Dynamiteskillsx 'Become' Incubus again? Incubus get better with each album and Ben Kenney is a sick bassist ...idiot.

  • @Dynamiteskillsx

    Ben Kenny has been showing improvement lately. Don't knock him until you sample his skills in a more recent concert DVD called Look Alive. Dirk Lance was such a beast though.

  • Groove is by far more important on a bass than shredding (even tho I love to shred). Oh, and say whatever you want, his (the guy on this video) tone kicks yours anytime.

  • ehh, ok, if you're Tim Parent then you're a very good bassist and a kinda good signer but a very poor rapper. But, it's not because you THINK you have a better technique that you can start bashing people off. Also, if I say that I play cynic and sleep terror stuff, I think I don't need to prove that I can play the trooper (oh and btw I use a 4 fingers technique). And no you don't need to have an insane technique to be a great player. Like others said, think about Jamerson.

  • I'm not sure if you posted to the wrong video or what, but I'm sure Jamerson is rolling in his grave.

  • lol exactly what i was thinking azoore

    youre an awesome bass player

  • man stfu, first he uses his right hand 2 fingers, second, incubus isn't metal, third is technique is ok, fourth, the trooper is an easy metal song, looking for some challenge go and play some cynic stuff or maybe sleep terror.

  • Heard you finally got your 5 string Warwick!

  • Yeah! It's amazing ;D

  • Dude!!!!!!! that was another great performance.

  • Thxu!

  • What can i say, you are awesome

  • I'll settle for average :D

  • Another great bassline off SCIENCE. You play these so true to the originals! By the way, is it hard getting used to the 5-string, especially the string spacing?

  • It's pretty hard for the first few weeks. The spacing is the big issue for me. I started on a 5-string with tight spacing, then switched to my Thumb 4. Took me awhile to get used to it. Then I switched back to 5-string, and it wasn't any easier ;) I just put together a cheap 4-string PJ copy so I can keep up on both spacings. You can see it in the background sorta.

  • dude u are insane lol i cant even imagine how long that took for you to be that good, got any advice for a beggining bass player?

  • Practice everyday! Really practice though.. not just play along with songs. Learn your scales. Get a metronome, and use it. Focus on the groove, not the chops ;D

  • Great advice m8

    I couldn't have put it better myself

  • Not dead yet huh? about time dude you posted something man :P. Well, what can I say... It's good as usual xD ! Keep on rocking fella!

    Hey I got a question for you dude, do I have to wax my streamer? I can't determine if it's really satin finish or not!

  • I can't really tell from the pictures. With the natural oil finish you can just barely feel the grain of the wood. I'd guess with the satin you wouldn't, since the finish would be slightly thicker.

  • Dude, again you amaze me with your playing. It's so fucking sick man. I wish I had the time to devote to playing bass like you do.

    Awesome song too, I love that album and this is one of the best songs on SCIENCE. Anyway, keep playing bro!

  • I wish I had even more time to play :D

    This is the definitive Incubus song for me. It really shows their creativity and musical variety.. and it's funky as hell.

  • You have a natural talent to do songs I have in my "to-do" playlist! Although I'm really glad you do, because you have a better ear than me XD. Plus that Streamer is a thing of beauty. About time you show it off!

    Awesome playing, man. Just out of curiosity... how heavy is that bass?

  • Thanks dude! I was pretty overdue in posting something, heh. Time to show it off for sure! It's not too heavy, actually. It weighs in at 9.6 pounds. My Corvette was really heavy.. almost 11 pounds. My Thumb was really light. It only weighed 8.6 pounds.

    I think I might put some Hipshot Ultralight tuners in at some point. That should bring it down to around 9 pounds.
