The Police - Message In A Bottle -- Bass Cover

[daniB5000]

very nice work :) love the sound of your bass :)

[Brunald]

Amazing sound!!! What bass is that? It's wonderful.

[infusion26]

@Brunald Lakland 44-02 bass

[Sabzirou2]

:amazing:

[RHCPThom]

I'm getting a bass tomorrow and was watching some of your videos, when I checked out your channel I found out you're from The Netherlands as well. Vette videos!

[infusion26]

@RHCPThom Thanks !! en veel plezier met je nieuwe basgitaar.

[RHCPThom]

@infusion26

Dankje! Ik kan Hey Joe van Hendrix al

[GaryChedore]

Thank you I learned this bass line from your cover, I like the sliding gives it that fret-less sound

[BassmanZiener]

Good playing.....but maybe a bit too much sliding ;-)

[peerlesslondin]

HELLO, HERES A FEW TIPS FOR ALL.. TAKE ASPRIN ABOUT 30 TO 45 MINS BEFORE PLAYING.. IT THINS THE BLOOD . WHICH IS THE EQUIVILENT OF A 20 MIN WARM UP. TRY IT!!! ALSO THE WIDER THE STRAP THE BETTER.. WITH A THIN STRAP YOU USE A LOT OF LEFT ARM STRENGHT HOLDING UP THE NECK.. WIDE STRAP WILL BALANCE THE BASS LEAVING THAT STRENGHT USEABLE FOR PLAYING INSTAED OF HOLDING!!

[konked]

@peerlesslondin Perhaps it helps but you may loose the riff you might have invented while warming up dum-dam-dum-boom hey that sounded massive :)

[MrHappyme7]

wauw, it's awesome! what are the tabs?

[REMLostmyreligion]

Beautiful, the bass seems to sound exactly the same like Sting plays on the record.

Am I right, or is this a listening error? :)

[infusion26]

@REMLostmyreligion Thanks !! I'm pretty sure you're right because I can pretty much get any type of tone out of my Lakland bass.

[jonben11]

@REMLostmyreligion  sounds like shit, no feels

[REMLostmyreligion]

@jonben11

That's YOUR opinion, mine is different.

[REMLostmyreligion]

@REMLostmyreligion

And did I say I liked the sound? I only referenced to it, so read before you answer.

[TheStratlad]

Very musical. Thanks

[KiRiMa64]

Great song! I used to sling my bass down past my waistline(yeah ,it looked cool buy my technique suffered). Now I prefer to wear it around chest high or higher.I'd rather play properly than to look cool anymore.Keep up the good work!

[cartaslade]

fretts?



[DAZZZx1]

sounds good, would love to learn bass.

[Staxrock]

Oh, and thanks for posting Brother!

[infusion26]

@Staxrock Your welcome :-)

[Staxrock]

Hold your bass wherever you like! The higher the bass, I find, the easier it is to play! Sting, Robbie Shakespeare, Bruce Thomas, James Jamerson! They all did!

[infusion26]

@Staxrock The most typical, and for most bass players the most comfortable position is to hang your bass at the same height relative to where it's at when you sit down with it. But it's really subjective and each person is going to want it differently, so try it at different heights and see what you like the best.

[peliroja107]

sounds badass! 

[laamchops]

who hangs their bass this high?

[infusion26]

@laamchops Infusion26..........LOL

[joesteed7]

@infusion26 ummm...i do sometimes.....jaco did.....bobaflex's bass player hangs his way higher than this......check it out

[P0V3RTY09]

@laamchops Your comment shows to me that are not a musican. If you were, you would realize that some drummers position their drums differently, some guitarist hold their guitars differently , just as some bass players hold their instrument differently to others. A true musician wants to plays in a way that is most comfortable. I usually position my bass lower. In either case, I can tell you that infusion26 is a solid bass player.

[laamchops]

@P0V3RTY09 yeah your right, im not a musician, and yes he is an awesome bass player but i was joking around, did you not see?

[P0V3RTY09]

@laamchops Sorry , no I didn't see that you were joking. My apologees if I offended you. I sometimes get annoyed when I see comments bad mouthing a creator of a video for the sakes of being cruel. I was just trying to point out that positionings of one's instrument is a personal preference. Sorry if I sounded as if I was attacking you.

[kingkillern]

@laamchops someone how rly can play bass

[TheImmortalmetal]

@laamchops bass players with proper playing etiqiute(i think i misspelled that)

[Beagle3561]

Geeze... I hope you're getting paid in some professional capacity!

Great work!

[MrCNocK]

@infusion26 is that standerd tuneing? :D

[MrCNocK]

what tuning it it?

[infusion26]

@MrCNocK Normal tuning: EADG

[RobertDeLeo]

what kind of bass you have?

[davinissim]

Great job. Well done.

[ckochinc22]

I use a Maple Lakland 44-02 deluxe. Love how it is a full package bass.

[louiswong0422]

awesome!!

[YeeHaaSaw]

Lekker bezig! klinkt goed, vraag me nog steeds af waarom bij elk filmpje de vraag staat welke bass je gebruikt

[MVonMorrison]

hei, nice cover!, love the sound of the bass, what kind of bass is that btw?

[infusion26]

@MVonMorrison This is a Lakland 44-02 bass.

[MVonMorrison]

@infusion26 awesome, I thing I'll have to get me one!;)

[mrbassman101]

Excellent positional playing and a great sound.Takes me back to the early 80's and playing this with a band on the military bases circuit in the U.K. Keep on rockin'.

[MrUnderdog1970]

Great cover to a great song. It seems fairly simple but I bet singing and playing it simultaneously would make it a little more tricky. I love When the Bassist is also the lead vocal.

[infusion26]

@MrUnderdog1970 Mark King is a good example.

[joshprice9]

@infusion26 And Geddy Lee!

[ClassicRockerSr101]

@MrUnderdog1970 like geddy lee? anyway, great video! nice bass sound! John Decon, Paul McCartney, Brian Wilson and Geddy Lee Would be proud!

[mattydread2]

Excellent!

[diebkgast]

[infusion26]

@gitaresco Nou geeft niets, we zitten nu toch al op 661.......LOL

[Ionizap]

Don't stop....you are introducing me to so much bass music. That said I'd love to hear "Roxanne".

[constantine2112]

[iaminbetweendays]
