[Galv1nBass]

[neonnight123]

awesome dude!

[dSenTionn]

I was very hard work .. but a good one!

[carlostn]

u are amazing :) ive been playing for 8 months.. avarage of maybe 4-5 hours a day. ( self taught ) i mean i can play this fairly clearly but for some reason i cant get in the groove like you :) i wish i could.. maybe its abit to early to have that feeling :D but amazing? what do u have? a warwick? amazing slap tone.

[Morosalf]

Where did you get the sheet music please? I try to work ear but it's complicated on a song so fast

[taintedh]

Wow! Outstanding job my friend! Sloppy or not that was wonderful and inspiring! I'm a bass player primarily. If your bass playing is that good, cover or not, I'd love to jam with you on drums! Keep it up and never stop playing man. ROCK ON!

[rockman12312]

[saiko189]

dude that sounds sick...hey awesome playing...ima learn how to play this hard ass song and put my own up

[MjaTheNoob]

I love the sound of that bass! What kind is it?

[wilma0015]

wow, thats freaking amazing

how much do you practice on average a day? and how long have you been playing?

i just would love to know how long it will be until / if i reach that standard

[JonasBridgous]

Thank you! Per day, I about 45 minutes on average, but this does not occur every day. It varies. I have been playing bass as a hobbyist for 8 years. Drums are my first instrument.

[wilma0015]

awesome :D

I hope i get there soon, lol.

If thats how you play bass, you must be amazing at drums.

[kebbey]

bass and drums hand in hand are the best XD

[TheProtoneers]

@JonasBridgous As a hobbyist!? you are good enough to be Pro!! amazing skills and such quick flow through the notes, especially with this track (which is incredibly to play from start to finish)

Have you done any sessions or studio work John?

[weimw]

WOW!!! This is the best cover I found on youtube so far ;-).

You´re slapping is great!!! Almost perfect ;-)

[Matty09Magic]

I would love u to see you make a rendition of the the song called "Palco" by Gilberto Gil former cultureminister of brazil playing bass and singing on the live version i can send it to u if needed.

Thumbs up 5/5!!!

[tessoy]

[Palladinoraphael]

very good man !

[manical101]

Insane bass skill!

Hats off to you sir! :)

[ethermouse]

so this is a warwick thumb? I thought my marcus jazz bass had a sick slap tone but I dig this punch.

work on that finger pluck part then you got it down son.

[Janr1993]

1:44 is awesome

[Kalcite]

Haha

Dude

You're trying to Play to Mark King's Live version of Mr Pink

No wonder you consider it sloppy

That thing is twice as fast if not faster than the original song xDDDDD

I reckon if you took it slower then you'd hit everything on the mark

But seriously

This right here is some epic playing,kudos my friend, kudos

[jakaboy]

tab?

[scouserocker83]

excellent skill and technique, learning some slap myself, but after seeing this i realize i'm miles away getting it to sound decent.

[hotrats420]

that's great but I really wanted to listen to level 42 not here your guitar masterbation. why does everyone post thier own version. I just want to liston to f'ing level 42.

[conormang]

Then piss off and buy the CD!

[hotrats420]

I own it. It's at home. I'm at work. Everytime I search for music, all I get are other peoples cover songs. It's worse than spam.

[Lightscribe721]

YOU ARE A FAGGOT.

That is all.

[eskomos]

you play GOOD! Can you sing at the time?

I think that is the HARD thing! But nice anyway; WERY NICE

[hellooben]

Bravo!

[webzex]

HOLY SHIT,YOUR A GOD.

[RoyMaro]

wow amazing XD

how long have you been playing?

[54spiritedwill54]

woah that sounds really good, great technique and tone

[davegrohlrocks3777]

[arkorum]

[WildHoney1066]

Awesome!

[gianfrancospagnulore]

come on my mr pink video......aspect your comment. good groove.......compliment. gianfranco.

[4difference]

awesome try!!! how did you manage to hear what he actually plays? i can hear it a bit, but clearly not as good you :D

[tolinfitz]

I wish I could play the solo section. I bow down to you mr. jonasbrigous.

[underthumper]

That was so damned freaking awesome!

Thanks for posting this!

[kitttyke]

wow O.O

[markuuuuu]

what age you have ?

[Slapbass13]

Thats the best versions Ive heard in a long time.

[Heroisbest]

fake?

[James015]

Clearly not.

[sangsaratrip]

woah

that sounds really good

great technique and tone

[Zsomaa]

I love this song but I never knew the title.

Thats one reason why I've started to play bass.

And you play it well! Grat!

[LarzastiC]

unbelievable ^^

[James015]

Oh wow. Nice. If Im ever able to afford a Warwick Id have to go with the Corvette Standard. The only thing I dont like about the Thumb NT is that the back J is on a slant.

[James015]

Jesus christ. Your bass sounds beautiful. What kind is it?

[JonasBridgous]

Thank you! It's a Warwick Thumb NT (4-String).

[11357tony]

not bad but around 1000 notes missing on MK,s version !!!!

[alastico]

hey.. do you slap with that protectos like Mark King?

[t3hubern00b]

It's just black tape.

[SteVeTurchin22]

That was sick Dude!

[thumbpok]

*applause*

Big Thumb, big sound, big slap, you rules !

[Minchito88]

how do you get that Speed? i want to know

[RetardedNakedMoleRat]

Im Going To Go Wheep In A Corner = P

Btw, You Suck = P

[xOrangeMarmaladex]

reported slugface =P

[RetardedNakedMoleRat]

Emma Diggins Sucks = D btw

[xOrangeMarmaladex]

Liam Alley is a golden nugget fried in potato fat :)

[gene921]

Nice mate - you've got chops, but keep the groove pretty well, too. When you're off, it just sounds like it's probably the latency between the original and your bass. The hardest thing to do with stuff like this is to stay in the pocket while fitting in all the notes. Really nice job!

[therealcord]

yo thats very cool. Your bass has a reall nice sound, it looks like a warwick?

[edwins1728]

wow!!! I like the sound of your bass,,, you are good also

[Spideymania]

I love the breath of relief you took at 2:55. You were like "Finally a break!"

[ASATAKA40]

so cool!

awesome! keep rock'n!

[Beorn86]

love the octaves outro (starts 3.15)

[floouk]

Are you actually playing that though, as the video is way too dark to see

[vegafour]

by the way John,sweet playing!!wow!!this is carla by the by!:)

[IAmBassist]

jesus christ...

[barneyorient]

ur a fucking awsome bass player!!! keep it up dude!

[TheIncredibleMass]

No, I'm keeping it! So there!

[TheIncredibleMass]

I don't get what everyone's on about. I could play that with my retarded lobster hand... You look like you're having an epileptic fit. Should you be allowed out in public? I don't think so. You're a crime against all music below 500hz. And everything else. Get out of my head!!! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!! You crazy dutch bastard, stop playing! You suck! You suck everything! Even carrots! Mwhahahahahahahaaaa!!!

[sealhammer]

You are a raging faggot, kindly GTFO if you can't fashion a shred of constructive criticism.

[TheIncredibleMass]

You're a poo head... Sorry, you're a well assembled poo head!! :)

[vegafour]

sorry but TheIncredibleMass is actually a friend of the guy in this video as am I....he's only kidding so relax its only a bit of wind up

[captslappy]

Good for you. He was pretty much dead on on this song. So how does he suck exactly?

[TheIncredibleMass]

Quite well actually! Perhaps the only person I know who CAN actually suck a golf ball through a garden hose! Very impressive to see really. Maybe Mr. Bridgous could put that up on youtube?!?

[rosshildick]

LOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!! i love you.

[Sharif152]

pretty damn good... 5 stars

[tolinfitz]

Damn... that was perfect.

im impressed. to say the least.

wow

[PhatPhunk]

Dude.. you own this piece man! Great performance.. Sloppy? Not at all! Love your tone...

[papahaggis]

amazing work man keep it up!

[corlybass]

Excellent...Congratulations

[corlybass]

Excellent...Congratulations

[corlybass]

Excellent...Congratulations

[wilwave]

freakin awsome.

[absolutefunk]

great slap n pop chop buddy keep it up :)

[omi53]

this is awesome when i was young i listened only to level 42 and your playing it exact the same. bassssssssss on dude your amazing

[MaxwellsDemon2000]

WoW

[Kiimaruxxx]

nice tone dude.

[Deicidal]

need some light on ya lol, i wanna see what ya doin

[bassman750]

he obviously just likes the song and wanted to learn it

and when you play along to songs you do usually like to have the same tone as the bassist/guitarist thats playing

[niklas2wikstrom]

No when you play along to songs (which might be the best way to learn to play)you play to have a good time playing. The exact tone depends so much on what bass you are using, what amp and so on. And I bet you that Mark King doesn't play it exactly the same every time,and the sound also differs a bit, so

which version is the "right one" then?

[bassman750]

please point out where i said what is the "right version"

and i never said exact tone

what i meant was similar tone sorry and i know mark king wouldn't play it exactly the same every time cos its bloody hard haha

sorry for the controversy but i have a tendency to speak(type in this case) before i think what i've said(written)

[niklas2wikstrom]

Hi!

Sorry mate, this reply was meant to be to that guy saying that this didn't sound "right"!

I agree with your comment 100%! :-)

[omi53]

yeah your cool on the bass, in the early days i was a big fan of mark king, i can only tell that your doing a great job. amazing

[eggryo]

Awesome!

Well, does anyone have this Mr.Pink tab especially bass solo from 2:23 ?

[haproductions]

great

[zygzaak]

Amazing.

[UGApplehead]

hey man, what you doing with your tone there? sounds great...

[E7022]

this song rules man¡¡¡¡ great job

[fitulus]

oh my god as i said in an other vid of u u are amaaaaazingggggggggggggg how old are you??

[kevj247]

brilliant

[enclosedfury]

I don't know what it is man, but the bass guitar just sounds so cool and you just bring out all of it's coolness.

Keep it going man!

[LowEnd21]

lot of mistakes.

but not a bad bassist.

Keep on workin' on

[niklas2wikstrom]

mistakes? Haha, is that when he doesn't play it exactly as mark king? That's not the point

[hardinge86]

Sloppy rendition? that preformance was perfection!

[Enav8]

You are the best bass player I've ever heard! As a fellow worsiper of Level 42, ROCK ON FREAKY BRO!!!!!!!!!!!

[50Stringbass]

lol, playing along with a youtube video, thats a little different :\ great job by the way.

[bassman78fr]

I'm a franch bass player and i've just a question. "The" question is: Are you from this planet ? (lol).

I know another bass player who appreciates Mark King too.

Try the key word "durandassi" in the search field in YouTube and give me your feelings about him.

[horatiofluffytop]

Just Fantastic Playing.

[chocolatecauldrons]

Psh, whatEVER John XD I remember you doing something like this next to me in Midi last year and I was just like *don't be intimidated....don't be intimidated* You rock :P

[toddkur]

NICE JOB!!!!

and great sound too!!

[StretchinOut]

Now that was just amazing.

You're definitely keeping the funk alive.

Keep those fingers safe and just Keep On!

[lubra]

[eikisturla]

YEES!!!! Finally a song by bass god Mark King!!! and as usual, you nailed it :)
