Dave Matthews Band -- American Baby -- Bass Cover

[IAMREZEK]

This was so good I couldnt help but watch it again!

[abshmusic]

Nice sound!

[Bissekala]

perfect cover dude! :)

[jsid7]

Awesome dude, you make me want to pick up a bass.

[iliachulsky]

Stefan is such an underapriciated bass player.

great cover man! :)

[MrStayCoul]

Nice job !! I want to buy the Ibanez SR500BM, please what do you think about it ?

[aubs1100]

Nicely done man. I'm in South Africa. I'm a guitar player too, and recently got myself an Ibanez SR 505 SDGR, So we're in the same boat, as far as "new to bass playing' is concerned. So good luck with your bass playing....

[brett2525]

Cwildenradt, this is a very nice tone your getting here. Could you tell me are those rotosounds flatwounds? How does the sound compare to the original elixer's. Im thinking of changing to rotosounds as the tone is a bit too metallic and bright. Thanks

[CountRammerhymen]

sick tone!

[ArnoldandPereira]

You kinda look like Stefan.

[mrcollins63]

Awesome! I wish you great success with your bass! Keep on jamming!

[fatfatat444]

THIS IS GREAT. I have a 5-string Ibanez SR505. You're playing is incredible.

[robertrmcm2010]

I just picked up a bass today, my first time really playing. Dude that was ,.....Awwwsome !!.I typed in DMB bass cover and hit your video first.Great job and you are inspiring.

There really insn't any reason to watch any more. Seriously, i'm gunna try to play this song !! ..what do you think ? could a novice learn to play a song like this ?

[Cwildenradt]

@robertrmcm2010 Thanks! Sure, a novice could learn to play it...you just watched one. Haha. Just take it slow in the beginning to get the muscle memory down and gradually work up to tempo.

Have fun!

[toma24987]

could you tell me the settings of your EQ? YOU HAVE VERY GOOD SOUND..!

[Cwildenradt]

@toma24987 Thanks, my friend. The settings are in the description: "slight bass rolloff, mids boosted, highs rolled off about 60%"

[toma24987]

thanks a lot my friend...

[86superdado]

have you got a tabs ?

[Cwildenradt]

@86superdado No, but I know there are plenty available with a quick Google search. Most of the song I did by ear, but I had to search the tabs to get the bridge line. Can't recall which I used though.

[sheriff1042]

I searched Ibanez SR500 and came up with your bass cover of American Baby.

Man, if I can play that well in a few years I would be pumped up. Great job, keep playing. This will be my first bass purchase and from watching you play I have a lot of room for growth.

[GORFF987]

Nice!

[c21001175]

Lassard style !! I loove !

[MrEddie2861]

Simple song good played :). Congratulations man I really mean it :). Bravo

[BelgianBass]

I'lld love to play as smooth as you

[JEUXolim]

This song has a pretty dam good bass line. Nice finger work too man =) Awesome cover.

[fatfatat444]

This is very good. I have a 5-string version of this bass guitar.



[drumkilla]

it's not only a Bass cover... it's also a Bad-Ass cover :)

[Cwildenradt]

@drumkilla Thanks!

[yoyodog99]

@kufawtom depeends on the persons preference like alot of people think bass is easyer but there talking about just standard pluckimg the strings the bass in my opinion you have alot more options and to me you can hear it more then guitar so really to answer your question it all comes down to personal preference

[Kufawtom]

Great performance...I want to play bass guitar so bad ryt now....is playing bass a lil bit easier dan guitar??

[tutumiley]

Ur an outstanding bassist ..Learned the parts..you got the gig.How u like Ibanez sr....I just got an sr505 & love it.

[Cwildenradt]

@tutumiley Thanks, my friend. I love the Ibanez, such a great bass for the money.

[robdrums69]

Nicely done man - drop by and say hi sometime :) Great technique - nice and precise :)

[bullsnake70]

Wow...great cover, and this song is beautiful, I've never heard it before!

[SkaterJams]

wat kind of strings do you use?

[Cwildenradt]

@SkaterJams Those are Rotosound Nexus Bass strings.

[Prettyflyforabassguy]

Your left hand technique is actually not bad, just watch out for that creeping thumb, the right hand does look awkward though. Try keeping your right hand more flat on the bass and check out the Floating thumb technique, it's where you always keep your thumb on the string (or pickup) above the string you are playing

[CountRammerhymen]

LOVE that sound! Nice playing too!

[smokeyupahead]

Well done and what a great sounding bass, I guess the whole setup is what rocks!

[alphaskin666]

haha :D

awesome playing style, very relaxed^^

I really enjoyed watching. your way of playing is also very good ;)

looking forward to see more from ya

keep up the good work! :D

[Notofthisworld13]

Excellent playing.

[AbbyMxOriginals]

Dude that was awsome!

[mrbroker305]

Nice work man!..This song has the best bassline ever. I love it.

[andrijaVIII2]

amazing cover

[whitehartlane1882]

Awesome bro. From a die hard DMB fan whos been to over 20 shows. If you want some of Stefan's best bass lines, try learning Crush, Seek Up, The Stone, and Kit Kat Jam

[bonzzo15]

i was wondering what gauge u are using, thinking of buying these, or maybe the steve harris is they are possible to find,

[PsychoGuppy]

What amp are you using?

[Cwildenradt]

@PsychoGuppy I'm using POD Farm. The whole setup is explained in detail in the description.

[mrownagelol]

really really good :) he looks really serious lol, but an amzing bass, gonna buy this soon :)

[Badan100]

Excellent cover! Your sound is spot on and your relaxed playing style is too! Watching this makes me want to start dancing! :)

[Cwildenradt]

@Badan100

Thanks!

[khoney696]

great job bro

[bkrbtlg08]

this rocks hard!

[BelgianBass]

playing guitar before you go to bass is good, you already know how to take a chord and stuff

[Bunst16]

that was amazing. i wish i could play guitar/bass like that...where do you live? teach me! haha

stefan has an insane bass solo at the start of two step live at central park...if you ever do that, be sure to mssg me so I can check it out. great job.

[Cwildenradt]

@Bunst16 Thanks, my friend! Yeah, I've seen that solo before. It's awesome! But I don't think I'll be attempting that anytime soon... :-P

[AntonioMiguelLagura]

ibanez

[Jonnyfriday]

great job man, you sound like a legit bass player to me.

[Gittfiddle]

tell ya what dude.......really good job!!!!!!!!

[MrPrimek]

nice sound!

[prabinoo7]

how much you paid for bass?

[freeeede]

hey i`m thinking to buy a ibanez sr 500,

what can you say about it?

PS : your rock like hell

[Cwildenradt]

@freeeede Hey buddy, thanks.

I'm really happy with the SR500. But it all depends on what you're looking for in a bass.

[cedicol]

@Cwildenradt You can play everything with this baby. I play metal and i'f see guys play blues or jazz with it. The last time i wenth to a concert it whas punk rock and that guy playd it to.

[mightysonofa]

holy crap what a cover dude, you rock!!

[Cwildenradt]

@mightysonofa Thank you, my friend!

[AdorableFlower]

you're awsome *__*!

[Cwildenradt]

@AdorableFlower Thanks!

[jiafu]

sounds clean.... is that a finish on the strings? does it come off?

[Cwildenradt]

Thanks!

Yes, it's a black polymer coating on the strings. But it does not come off.

[16amends16]

God conver guy!

[thiagoibanez]

VEry good man!!! when is your next video coming out???

[Cwildenradt]

Thank you!

The next video? Soon. I have just recorded a cover and will be posting it when I get it mixed and mastered right.

[staind98498]

well i know whos gonna play bass if dave's bass player leave dude that was great i love it

[Cwildenradt]

Thank you, my friend!

[jorge23000]

So your bass is conected to line inputs from your interface?

[Cwildenradt]

No, my bass was connected to a preamp which was connected to the balanced inputs on my interface.

[jkipcount]

Sweet. Solid playing. And love that bass, I have one myself.

[Cwildenradt]

Thanks! I'm really digging the bass, it plays really nice.

Thanks for watching!

[ChrisBakerDrummer]

Sweet man... I like it. Good job of comping at the end there when Carter's going nuts on the kit w/ displaced rhythms and over-the-bar stuff. The bass was solid there and right in time

The Ibanez and all of your processing WIZARDRY sounds great

[Cwildenradt]

Thanks brudda.

Amazingly enough, the end was the least of my worries. That bridge part was the toughy, predominantly because of the finger plucking which I'm not quite used to yet. Hence the timing flubs there.

[viperx68]

I have newfound respect for the bass guitar now! thanks! awesome bass by the way

[Cwildenradt]

Thanks! Yeah, Stefan Lessard is REALLY good at making the bass a critical component of a tune. One of my favorite bassists.

Thanks for watching!

[BeautifulGirlByDana]

American Baby -- Bass Cover is a 55  ★s

[Cwildenradt]

Thanks!
