Six string Fretless bass improvisation

[ZappaFan101]

I won't comment on the 'music', but I will say you have fast plucking hand

[claudiokreator1]

toca como una niñaa

[Jurgenmycroft]

what the fuck is this guy playing ? absolute nonsence.... sounds like termites running in a tin can.

[thatguyknowsit]

Not sure what you're playing but the bass sounds freakin awful.

[notokoyass]

Que mamarracho!!

[TheFunkyCriminal]

its strange.... cos hes obviously really talented... but it sounds like a muddy orgy of sound.

[JanoElBozo]

I'm astounded how a certain portion of internet can be infuriated by a sped up video of someone playing a joke solo.

I don't feel like reading through all comments, but i hope someone mentioned that it was sped up... Just watch closely.

[Custom2212]

@JanoElBozo I doesn't seems speeded up to me. It just seems like random nonsense.

[JanoElBozo]

@Custom2212 Hmm... Possibly, possibly, i was pretty sure it was sped up. nonetheless, it's an excellent troll video, since so many people caught the bait.

[tornmask]

fantastico! =0]

[paulpaul00]

No time, no sense, no meaning, no music, worthless. what a pitty....

[paulpaul00]

No time, no sense, no meaning, no music, worthless. what a pitty....

[wasid13]

i find it ironic that he said "precision is everything" in the beginning

[acewizard44]

first mistake was buying this bass.

[rockout7190]

u know i kinda like it, im a guitar player myselft but i just think its funny to hear not really great bass playing but its still pretty funny to listen to

[MuffinFromBoo]

ugly

[hypa4]

Sounds like he's hitting a hallow log as fast as he can xD

[ZappaFan101]

Hmm... whats goin on here?

[MrRockstart]

Precision may be everything, But not playing as fast as you possibly can.

[BoomBoy13]

Looks like something I do when I just fuck around.

[Ghik1987]

195 people are deaf

[vladaroo]

slow down for fuck sake. This is crap

[PhuckHue2]

I always show this clip to other bass players so they can get a good laugh

[mouriceviana]

Q CAGADA ESTA MIERDA, LO Q MAS ME ARRECHA ES EL ESTUPIDO HABLANDO DE PRECISION AL FRENTE DE UN MONITOR DE COMPUTADORA DAÑADO.......DEBERIA DARLE VERGUENZA NO MERECEN ESTAR EN EL MUNDO D LA MUSICA SON UNA ABERRACION.....Y EL OTRO DEBERIAN PEGARLE EL BAJO POR LA CABEZA NO TOCA UN COÑO

[Bassplaya919]

-Jaco rolling in his grave-



[valdivia046]

K mierda es esto, necesitas tomar clases. Cual Precision?. WTF is this for real? 456 people knows what piece of garbage this is.

[zaprutertape]

lol trying to play portrait of tracy

[abzakabzakable]

it's good but u'll need to be really critical of urself to really move forward in ur playing. ur strong point is ur right hand technique, but one of ur weak points is ur left hand fourth finger. also look for more meaningful lines and not just patterns. be very deliberate. go for it!

[LuminescenceAR]

What in the name of fuck just assaulted my ears?

[gilbiker1]

Tanta velocidade...mas sem sentimento!!!!

[gilbiker1]

???????

[Zechdlak]

EVer heard the term, "musical masturbation"?

[dogoneesi]

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT????!!!

[kamelheoth]

Pero ke mierda de video el pendejo ese roja de la mierda ,es mas ni toka es un pendejaso si kree ke es bajista y sus amigos también si piensan ke ese idiota sabe hagarrar un instrumento , lo debería de linchar ,lo bueno ke se trabo mi iPod y no akabe de ver esta porkeria de bajista

[KeirWasHere]

Bad ass man. Dont give a damn if squares dont understand.

[calebfain]

Sounds like a hungry peter griffen

[BrokenDash4]

Way to shred the chromatic scale.

[superiansuper]

look at his right hand

So stupid ;]

[solterodeoro]

Pues hombre ya que lo que va a tocar es semejante mierda, todo enguarrado y que lo ultimo que tiene es precision os podiais haber ahorrado la frase del principio. Lo menos musical que he visto en tiempo, puede hacer un dueto con pepe bao

[LuminescenceAR]

Awful tone, mediocre playing.

This sounds bad and you should feel bad.

[pollorossi]

no music, no melody

[taufoofar]

If I close my ears, you look pretty good. But when I open them, sorry to say this, but that was terrible.

[jdubbjazzbass]

???????????

[rcatchpo]

Oi, I asked for the tabs 9 months ago and I'm still waiting!

[cameronj279]

@rcatchpo its a fretless bass......how can you tab a fretless bass when theres no frets?

[Zechdlak]

@cameronj279 Are you kidding me? Really? Tablature is indicating NOTES for those who are too stupid to read formally transcribed music. Fretless basses play all of the same notes as a fretted, and if you have fretlines, or know your instrument the way you should, same rules apply for tabs.

[cameronj279]

@Zechdlak yeah but it's pretty hard to get the exact notation every time, however tabs would be good for a general guideline.

[moomy1982]

@rcatchpo Why would you want the tab for this? Improvise.... would probably sound better.

[ZOMGItsRobot]

Honestly, the tone isn't bad, it's just the combination of the room and the mic on the camera that give it that empty wooden sound.

And, this guys technique isn't bad either, I can see from what he's doing that he's got some legit timing between his left and right hands, and some interesting unique technique things going on in his right...

But good lord. slow down, at least sometimes.

[freewillrecords]

Man, that tone is... I hope that my bass will never sound like that

[renanmusic]

por que maltratar o coitado do baixo assim..?! so much pity of this poor bass...basses are ladies, play it smoothie

[Goferan]

Horrible solo! Precision? Yo no la he visto! Yo tambien siento lástima por el bajo y por el bajista que le esta quedando una imagen desastrosa.

[Goferan]

Malisimo! Deberia estudiar algo de Armonia porque no da ni una con sentido. Horrible solo!!!! Descolgad este video, harias un favor al bajista.

[Goferan]

Malisimo! Deberia estudiar algo de Armonia porque no da ni una con sentido. Horrible solo!!!! Descolgad este video, harias un favor al bajista.

[catboyzee]

Kudos for the speed and the tone. Difference between this fellow and Jaco is that Jaco played with a melodic, harmonic, and musical sensibility. This its just some really impressive power noodling.

[freakystyley4000]

Oh fuck you all - I LIKED IT - it was like a retarted flight of the bumblebee. Yay!

[jazzflea]

@freakystyley4000 hahahahahahhahahahahahah! A retarded flight of the bumblebee!!! I needed that! Woke up the hood with my laughing! Thanks :)

[jaqetall]

Jaco is coming alive only to kill you, that's really awful....

[PeopleOfTomorrow]

*SHOCK* that was fucking terrible.

[taufoofar]

Lose the cap, Jaco wannabe.

[29573428937]

kind of ironic how he says precision is everything, yet he's not playing notes found in any western scale.

[cornholio530]

as charles would say T R B L trbl

[PatrickDocmanov92]

i feel bad for the bass

[GoodOldDeathMetal]

You have to respect his technical ability. With some more direction and a better tone, it could be really great.

[Kodyripsfaces]

at 1:38 he attempted to make a melody... and then failed.

leave this mindless wanking to guitarists.

[Gerdellos]

Nice bass.

[knappymer]

Hey, let's try the same technique all over the neck and just see what happens... nice speed, but not impressed with your scale or left hand.

[ninjawest12]

That guy at the beginning is aggressive.

[orlandoCF1]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DistorsioneEun4Corde]

Can you tell me the name of this bass?

Thanks.

[HerrTony21]

se le nota una melodia, demasiado complicada y muy rapida, muy precisa por lo menos XD

[sadchad1]

just by the way ur playing im guna assume you dont know any scales.... you neeed to know them or all ur music sounds like crap..... this "song" is a shining example

[dtonbassist]

If you are gonna play fast. play something that is good. this is bad. I think i speak for everyone when i say I cant get into this or feel it. It is bad

[PhuckHue2]

wtf? he's just playing anything. look at his fretboard fingering. he's fingering in between the lines. FAIL

[GonzaloAlbarracin]

Ami sinceramente me aburre...

[1397130]

jolinesch tio!!!!!!!

[xXgrilloXx]

mucha rapidez de dedos pero no se entiende nada lo que toca

[squarcy2010]

[markwoodruff777]

WTF?????????

[JJ9951]

[ozanazo]

and then tellin other people to be precise and is evrything???

go fuck yourself..

[consumptionmishap]

lol

[gebass6]

He isn't even trying to play in tune!At 2:20 his fingers are in between the fret slots!Mr "Precision is everything"should know when you play fretless,you put your finger slightly behind the place where the fret would be.Not just any old place!!

[TheModCon]

That was horrible 

[MrMember12]

have you turned on your amp?

[4nss1]

He looks like Dave Mustaines latino cousin

[000MetalHeart000]

I'm sorry but that was really awful, I mean, it seems like he's playing just random notes... Tha's really not an impro man.

But well, at least he's fast.

[zomhby]

jaco ?

[gebass6]

@zomhby NO!!!!!!!

[GoodOldDeathMetal]

sueno como un banjo jaja. raro, pero que rapido!

[Pinstripedtie]

Well, the positive here is that he can play a lot of notes fast!

Tho it does sound like crap.

[streetrulez]

I thought it sounded pretty cool.

[grooveslayer]

noise

[2kreh]

la presicion!!!!!!!!! jajajaja a webo man

[tommyvizzle]

Super chido wey!

[kaboomhayden]

[BrunoSRO]

@hahabass lol what a thing to ask :P

[2xnkote]

sounds like a st sanders shreds

[doug604]

not only is the playing trash, this has to be the most lifeless sounding fretless ever.

[Hardy4]

The fretless sound is in the player's hands...

[tredger42]

terrible dude

[Hardy4]

sounds like shit

[AtomicDopeDog]

fake!

[adilsuat]

dayı nabıyon sen ya :D

Speed kills - in this case music :(

[jockemkniven]

[hellllli]

[ASASHANYA]

@hellllli That's right! Only guys like genius Richard Bona can play both fast and beautiful

[SLiMxShANuS]

[dpd56]

i think this great. sounds good to me

[robertvdpoel]

this is utter shit. fast shit, yes, but still shit.

[SpaceVulcan]

awful awful awful awful... what's the bloody point in going that fast if the tone's useless... that was 3 minutes of a bass guitar grunting... "Ridiculo"!

[pdshane]

Man, that was just ridiculously awful.

[OleBlandOleBlando]

esto es una mierda y no se que tiene de "maestro" del fretless, podria estar tocado cualquier bajo o cualqier cosa y si hace eso sonaia igual de mal

[LuluJordison]

[dinoantimental]

[51362879]

What the heck was that????

[alowderm]

[giobuz]

el sonido del bajo es pesimo

[squarcy]

sei un povero coglione ke nn sa suonare e fai sempre le stesse cazzate, per nn parlare ke hai rovinato un basso defrettandolo come un animale, ammazzati

[BloodCrustSupperTime]

megachromatic

[NoDoOtomA]

[klotoniano]

ANT!PREC!S!ONi

[sywannab]

[TheAcidfloyd]

xuuuuuuuuuuu O.o

[carabata64]

realmente no se entiende lo que toca .. no por lo que toca si no por como lo toca....un chamullero...

[bassvirgin17]

Dude where are the fret markers:)

[02Biggs]

thats why its called a FRETLESS BASS!!!!!

[gebass6]

Actually,if you look closely you can see that this was a fretted six string,but he removed the frets and left the slots open.

[yellofury]

great now play it with your eyes closed

oh it sounds the same

[BossBassist]

hmmm i hate the tone

[CRVZS]

I like his picking....

[omekrab]

wow....His fingering is awesome....

[michael02601]

[bassculino]

congratulations

[PAF149]

WTF*CKING FuCK DUDE!!!! D.E.L.E.T.E. THIS PIECE OF SH*T FROM THIS WEBPAGE!!! IT IS A P.U.R.E. WASTE OF TIME!~

[tapmanstick]

・・・・・・・???

[ozzyrocked]

could he be consistent on any part of what he is playing? it just sounds like random shit that doesn't sound good even to a musician.

[GrindcoreFTW]

he's fast

but it sounds like shit

[bassbiglik0]

fret wanking by a shit dude! i only like the last chord.. jaco wud say summt funny to this shit.

[JLMendo]

[manzaxl]

renault 12

[DarkTunnel4]

Really bad camera work, kinda shitty playing

[marieam513]

how is that amazing? :s how is this music?

[3applez3]

i agree

[elmaifonsex]

PURAS NOTAS A LO PENDEJO...

[krlos37]

ok, al parecer el bajista tiene cierta velocidad pero la verdad no me transmite nada mas que un monton de notas sin secuencia logica a mi parecer, creo que suenan bastante desordenadas y pues no da para muchos comentarios positivos. Te recomendaria que trabajes mas el "feeling" de lo que quieres tocar y no solo que sean un monton de notas sin sentido. Y pues bueno tambien soy bajista y pues bueno, no hay envidia de ningun tipo. Gracias!

[JLMendo]

pero no se le puede negar que es limpio y pues tiene velocidad, Desordenado..... si........ pero prefiero verle su virtud y no de lo que carece, estoy seguro el tambn lo sabe.

PD: no lo conozco.

[gabe32194]

It's a random improvisation... It's not gonna be perfect for god's sake. I don't think he was going for "groove" or whatever. Sounds very jaco influenced to me

[BassistBob81]

Totally

[mrblackmagichimself]

then Jaco would be turning in his grave listening to this garbage!!!

[gabe32194]

This is as good as anything jaco's ever done if you ask me... I don't see you playing anything better so quit hating

[bassbiglik0]

LOLOL! wat ... id like to see him arange three views of a secret and jaco composed it! omg u gay!

[mrblackmagichimself]

what a fuckload of shit
