Are you using those pickups as humbuckers or single coils? They sound like single coils to me, thanks.

[loneymcgunman]

Beautiful!

[Mattroful]

[TadeuTakebayashi]

[Jaco2k]

I looooooove my Warwicks - nothing sounds like them :) Great tone and of course the playing is also very good. Nice one!

[LoweJoe]

hey Andy what tuning is that? D standard?

[bassist4dalord]

Interesting pickup configuration, never seen that on a Warwick. Custom Shop?

[gz4txb]

P.S.: cleverly chosen tuning. it's just perfectly in line with your style... cheers =)

[gz4txb]

I WANT THIS BASS!

Awesome sound, man!

Your tune does exactly what music is suppost to do: it tells things that cannot be said in any language but music...

[LoweJoe]

bro... that is so amazing... I had an eargasm listening to you play that warwick.. the tone is perfect.. tell me.. what's it like to hold a warwick??

[deviltris69]

Awesome fucking tone man!!! Awesome talent also :-)

I have a Warwick Thumb NT and a Warwick Corvette 5-string

[Dany9270]

Dany9270 That is great great great. I m speechless.

[poprocksandcoc]

@ANDYSAXTONDOTCOM thats great man, i need a tabs fo this songs soo bad i had to learn my own shitty version by watchin the video over and over

[geoffgayton81]

Hey Andy, this is the one I was talking about when I saw you in Guildford, I love it mate!

[bhuygen]

Hello Andy, is it possible i could know you from the Warwick forum?

[Walkdabass]

very nice! not slapping just for wank or slappy sake, but well utilized within the context of the composition. excellent composition as well. good work!

[funkbassboom]

amazing playing man, i need to come get a lesson off you dude!

[talrmn33]

Its like Michael Hedges on a bass...Nice work.

[jjjb9098]

@ANDYSAXTONDOTCOM Do you still have your "Dirty Blonde"? I own #6 of 93-bought it new in Arlington TX abt 3 years ago and is an absolutely amazing instrument. Great tone you've achieved on yours-what strings did you use on this vid?

[russandh]

OH MY GOODNESS !! P.S. Do you know a guy called tom ?

[311bassfan]

oh my shit

[kirkhammet511]

Easily the greatest bass tone ive ever heard

[lebensraum]

Holy shit that's a clear sound.

[atomisk]

is he tuned to a high C or a low B?

[SlapPopStacy]

@atomisk As far as I can tell from watching and trying to do this on my four string, I say it's damn near impossible for him to be using a low B set.

[ltescum]

Nice and clean! You should hear what it sounds like in a FRETLESS! B-U-T-T-E-R not Parkay!

[2scrimble9]

Too bad they dont sell that bass anymore... I think?:p

[feedingfiction]

@2scrimble9 THat bass was a ltd run of 320 4 and 5 string basses. I was lucky enough to snag a 4 stringer last week at bass northwest in seattle. Still waiting for it though. This video was my inspiration for the buy for sure.

[delpalo]

you're a fucking genious man !!!!!

[fmmgl]

I hate Warwicks, but that one sounds pretty damn good. Well done.

[METALMICHEW]

@fmmgl dont you think thats because of sum kind of chorus pedal?

[Tormentor83]

@fmmgl: Jealous that you don´t own one...right?

[fmmgl]

@Tormentor83 no not at all, I'm a Fender guy

[aceofbass131]

@fmmgl But there are some many things that you can do on a Warwick. Like pronounced harmonics and...ummm, good tone. If you like 50 year old bland tone with worse durability, buy fender.

[ozsat1990]

plz, someone send me the tab from this!

[russandh]

Absolutely amazing. I'm trying to think of something more to say but your bass playing has turned my mind to jelly!!!!!!!

[MrHarry5150]

Amazing Mate ! ! ! you inspire me to become a better player

[bassdemon16]

THIS IS NOT NATURAL! I could play for 300 years and never be that good.

:(

The tone is amazing. It's the kind of tone that everyone wants from a new bass, but we usually settle for less, based on budget or equipment. It's a godly tone.

[idrial99]

Awesome :) The first half is beautiful :)

[fmmgl]

cool video

[vineyardedge]

Greatness!

[AmitWolfus]

This is amazing! what strings are you using?

[FebruaryDarkness1]

omg thats awsome I love the sound Its just so amazing its like the sound of god and jesus put together to make a monster baby

[vtx1300dave]

How do you learn to do that? Awesome

[ConcreteMatt1]

that bass is producing some beautiful sounds

[Kirchi1602]

@ConcreteMatt1 the bass does nothing, andy does all the work ;)

[Chinesevituperation]

ALRIGHT slapping and tapping combo that is so awesome.. i've been looking for someone who does this.. is the song name dirty blonde? whos the composer/artist? i think i really want to learn this

[PhilAndFrankShow]

@Chinesevituperation Dirty Blonde is the name of the bass he's using. He's the composer

[LoGEEE]

Mate. You have got some SERIOUS bass guitar skills.

[Galv1nBass]

he plays it with such ease...dammnnnn!!! xD

[extantia]

Very nice. Don't know that much about the LTD model. Which pick up setting are you using.  Is it NT or BO?

[exacly9989]

i could do with a dirty blonde in my life! great tune.'

[TheSmooshster]

Beautiful piece of music, simply put.

[hellcat123123]

you are my god now

[aveetozan]

Dude you're great!!! How long have you been playing?

[znoriman]

wow.................

[tanks617]

holy fuck is all i can say!

[morganchavis]

This bass sounds absolutely beautiful for everything, tapping, slapping, and especially chording. I wish my 6 string sounded that nice.

[yellofury]

that is some sick tap/slap/thumb

awesome bro!!

[Semimentalman2]

jaw on the floor, wtf, how is that humanly possible, and a fantastic bass by the way

[Zelious12]

Cyborg I suspect.

[Semimentalman2]

he he, probably

[DLI848]

NT or BO? and how much did you pay for it?

[morganchavis]

this is a NT.

[TheGuitarmazter]

Woooooooow mui bien !!! exelente

[azfryguy]

fuck my life

[Zelious12]

You've said it all my friend.

[Filzli85]

<3 that awefunkingsome tune

[no1spretty]

no words in the english language could describe the tone on this thing! all i can say is wow

[overoath123]

excellent, Unmatched, Beautiful, Unbeatable, Perfect, best, amazing... theres a few :)

[julienbass303]

Really Awesome

[penetratedsteffen]

sounds to sweet !

[croEdHunter]

Fucking awsome

[pbradfield]

i'm selling one of these on craigslist, Chicago.  check it out.

[PlanetHell92]

That. Was. Freaking. Amazing.

[SnowBoardingBassist]

I am in love with that bass...they are hard to come across anymore. I need to get ahold of one O.o. Its like an itch I cant scratch lmao. Very very unique playing by the way, more bands need to utilize the bass guitar as a melodic instrument. Thats what my band strives for XD

[pecoyamada]

You're amazing!!!

Man.... Look at that!!!!

[lucosmucos]

awesome.... man! ...is so cool!

[squeaky92]

i could die after hearing that tone....

[josh802]

good shit man

im thinking about swapping the MTD for a warwick

[CmajAmin88]

That's my favorite Warwick I finally played a NT Thumb today, where did you get your Dirty Blonde?

[rodrigotrompista]

nice

[SSJ4Brolyisthebest]

You rule mate.

5/5 and faved

[mcthebestintheworld]

I AM IN LOVE!!!!!!

[KamiDisturbed]

i want the tabs ^^

[Zander4724]

sounds great!

[TheSmooshster]

Fantastic bro. Try to watch the angle of your left wrist. The way you hold it puts you at high risk of developing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. We bass players generally have to avoid that.

[warplanes1]

What? What do you mean?

[TheSmooshster]

Exactly what i said. The angle of his fretting hand puts him at risk of developing CPS. If you dont know what it is, Google it

[KamiDisturbed]

um u mean that u cant hold it in the way that the fingers look long and the elbow is next to ur body?

[KamiDisturbed]

and the angle of wrist is like 90 degree?

[trp826]

awesome

[elder2112]

Wow I really like I wasn't even aware that they made 5 string versions of the Dirty Blonde ..Great work really love it.

Keep on rocking from the great north Canada

Jack

[kasthebass]

Iam watching tis video very often mate. very nice

[jdiddleymspot1]

Wow... That was unbelievable. I'm inspired.

[C3sarbass]

So beautiful, Nice bass

[rizzettojunior]

niceeee

[kasthebass]

`beautiful mate

[philifan313]

thumb bass = i just jizzed in my pants!!!

[PhilAndFrankShow]

I would love you if you made a tab

[FTFsystem]

wow....great playing...and great bass too...cheers

[MBleach86]

woooooooooow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Stefbal81]

thats amazing 5*

[J3v4d3r]

Excellent.

[pbradfield]

I bought this bass a few months ago. It doesn't sound much like the traditional NT thumb basses, but it has a lot of versatility with the split P and humbucker pickups. He's tuned to E-A-D-G-C here, I might try that on mine.

[thedonutman]

Your tapping has a very Andy McKee-esque vibe to it.

[beninjamin]

i played that bass once it is the best bass i ever played

[tomXhayf]

And that's how it's done.

[20AceofBass11]

Holy %(67!$#*(~ !

[mattbergbass]

that's an amazing bass being played by an amazing player

[onemind44]

your a beast

[brassmonkey1977]

That was F'in awesome!!!

[Soobie25i]

wow... that was fuckin sick! god i want a thumb bass soo bad. except i dont have an extra 5 grand. love the color

[happyfac3]

if you can still find one of these new, they are only a little over $2k, so used would be less....this model is a bolt on, though...which i wouldn't have a problem with, lol.

[rolficak]

perfect sound and great job! ;)

[mikibirta]

Excellent job dude!

[GodSpeedDevilsRage]

Beautiful instrument! Same for the play!

[74Paxxx]

fricken amazing

5 stars *****

[Beathop]

Perfect !!!!!!!!!

[TryingToBeBassist]

just great!

[ivanspecs]

sweet! awesome sound, great playing. enjoyed it, thanks :)

[Bodomdeath666]

6 un grande....

[happyslappysoong]

nice bro. what amp you plugged into?

[77angelsfan77]

nice hat.

[sheikyertailfeather]

Yeah, love that sound. Please tell us what amp you are using.

[InFluxPlay]

sounds ampeg like

[blinky333]

ampeg is a good guess, cause he uses ampeg when playing live, but at home he just goes straight into his PC through a line 6 preamp thing

[ANDYSAXTONDOTCOM]

Im using a

LINE 6 POD XT PRO (RACK MOUNTED)-->

LYNX ONE STUDIO INTERFACE -->

MUSIC PC -->

AMPEG SVX (STANDALONE PLUGIN) -->

ADAM A7'S (ACTIVE NEAR FIELD MONITORS)

[sheikyertailfeather]

Cheers, I have a Laney and a Roland, but can never get a slap sound with my warwick(Katana).

[InFluxPlay]

i can definetly hear the SVX coming out in that, its an ace program...just wish i could get it to bloody work :@

[911jesse]

Nice job. You made your 'Dirty Blonde" sound great. I bought my '5 string Dirty Blonde' from Guitar Center in Arlington TX cpl yrs back. Mine is #6 of 93 made. What number is yours?

[InFluxPlay]

wow, just wow!

followed the link from basschat, please, please can you send me the tabs for this. I love that second melodic part

also, what amp are you running that through?

[visualnoise01]

Nice one Andy, that's awesome playing, i just don't have those triplet slap/tap thing down like you do.

You do that bass a lot more justice than I ever did, glad to see it's working out for you.

Rob

[Carlosrzz]

What up bro...I'm not into two hand tapping but you rules...I like it like that (0:58) with melodic line not so percussive.

keep the good work.

[diegobaixo]

Muuuuito fodaa

Congratulationss man !!

[Stahlross]

that was fucking awesome.
