[TagaComp333]

[dankosoul]

Damn, Incubus rocks, nice cover like always!

[XxChoosingxX]

It'd be cool if you could give me one

[danielfnj]

[DefunktThePistol]

@danielfnj It's Tuscany.

[30Edwardlover]

This video made me realize that bass is way cooler than guitar. THUMBS UP if you agree :)

[FishofHate]

Great playing and great musical taste!

[RegizLuca]

Vc é brasileiro?!?

[PSZenPS]

@RegizLuca não cara, ele é francês

[TheMrSuperBitch]

IMPOSSIBRU!

[pippoMASO]

Learning to play hard guitarline or bassline requires hours and hours of training, and I admire people who are not scared about that

[llisboafelipe]

FLAWLESS !

[pablofernandezbass]

This song is very hard.

[Rock4Ever80s]

i dont play bass, but i definately think that this quite hard

[Samwise7heBrave]

where did you get your bass?

[WPGlongboarding]

holy shit. this is so intense it made my Youtube stop letting me pause it...

[espsir]

Playing at the beach LIKE A BOSS!

[shrinkingviolet989]

awesome! love the beach cam, though u must have damaged ur bass doing that :)...good job anyway

[BullHOnkey347]

No ones dream should be to play any instrument on the beach you moron. All of that intense sunlight is incredibly damaging to the instrument. Think with your brain.

[cursedswordsman]

@BullHOnkey347 I agree. This video is just so... ridiculous. Attention whore much?

[SamThomas23sr]

@BullHOnkey347 cunt

[enowmusic]

THUMBS UP IF YOUR DREAM IS TO PLAY YOUR FAVORITE ELECTRIC INSTRUMENT ON A BEACH LIKE THIS !!

[andrew19vato]

awww man where are you in this video!? that beach looks gorgeous

[PLEOAVCEE99]

i wish i could play with my shirt off, my bass is always really cold when i just pick it up and i freeze my nips off...

[morewood555]

@PLEOAVCEE99 Davids

[morewood555]

@PLEOAVCEE99 Davids got nips of steal

thats why he can play flea style :)

[CHiNCHiiLAR]

marry me <3

[xXlizardmasterXx]

[obaoobao]

Are you brazilian man?

[Orangemongoose1]

@obaoobao he's Swiss

[Fortress6661]

Sick chops man! You're tone is kind of iffy though :P

[Luuk20122]

My hero David were in São Paulo *-* David in Brazil OMG

[jaaaaaaaapie]

[olszes9555]

[olszes9555]

FATHER OF BASS 

[walmars3curity]

[KIjubreu]

@DavidSinRocks nice video mate ! and btw r u brazilian ? anyways i been watching ur vids and i like it . u think u could make a video lesson of "tell me baby" from RHCP ??

Thanks from Brazil

[Carniverousbarney]

I wish I could say this was good but it's not......... it f+*^++cking amazing :p

[fuhnetikFilms]

Hated it. It was WAY too good.

[xOneManBandx]

0_o

[nebalulosa]

COOL =)

[tlswhdgjs]

Happy one year :P

[StackoST]

Lovin' how the cover has more views than the actual Incubus video.

[forrestfire101CLUB]

:O I dunno how you do that, when i play bass i have to rest my thumb on the string i'm not using, i can't play like that whilst having my thumb resting on the square bit w/e the hell its called CRAZY DUDE Awesome

[CaptainSchnapps]

@forrestfire101CLUB Pickup. I rest my thumb on the pickup too and playing the first string is always hard because of the stretch. =[

[SuperPlasticbeach]

@forrestfire101CLUB its called a pickup bro

[jordelle69]

well done son! my fingers ache just watching it :-)



[Natsukaichi]

Les 23 qui n'aiment pas cette vidéo sont vraiment des jaloux de ton talent.

T'es incroyable mec, je sais pas si aujourd'hui tu t'en rend compte mais moi comme bien d'autres bassistes, on s'inspire de toi pour jouer, pour trouver des morceaux a jouer, pour voir ta technique.

T'es une vitamine a toi seul :D

En tout cas continue tes vidéos, c'est génial et bravo pour ton groupe qui est vraiment bon.

A un de ces jours j'espère :)

[TheGerogero]

Talk about a sick backdrop :D

[austin4798]

how long have you been playing?

[Slashyxful]

Vraiment très bon ;) Bravo gars

[moshafreak616]

how did you record that on the beach?

[newbass28]

@moshafreak616

Probably through a guitar interface :)

[NOLEMANful]

Who does not like this let him drop dead refrigerator

[SammieDog267]

you have reached... TOPLESS LEVEL

[Nuvazo]

Une pichenette , et t'es mort :D

[PrfectRoll]

Suddenly, Tsunami.

[wackenthaljef]

David...je sais pas ou te demander ça,mais tu pourrais nous faire Too shy,Kajagoogoo,tu vois?

[SirDmenol]

cant even hear the regular version without thinking of this video... >.< and thinking of taking back the bass! o.o i feel..... motivated!!!

[labbern]

Only Flea, Tim Commeford and David can play without a shirt!

[WhiteWolfDief]

@labbern Don't forget Sting. ; ) One of the hottest bass players ever.

[TheOpiks99]

Nice song,very nice bass cover, and your jazz bass! I love it!

[marineboy8]

Whenever I'm feeling crazy, I play this as fast as I can and see how far I can go with out screwing up.

[Dysfunction757]

Respect...

[mmotor100]

I agree, this guy rocks but I guess haters still hate

[NOLEMANful]

who can dislike this ???

[Girostix]

@NOLEMANful I don't know , they're crazy ... that's a famous cover with a magic sound , and great view on the sea !

[arloplaysbass]

Good stuff. What bass is that?

[labbern]

he is a pro bassist! let him

[luizaramonah]

So hot.

[patian9]

Do some sum 41 ahah jk you probs dont like that :) amazing cover

[morenoamanda22]

Every part of my body just had an orgasm...

[JerahmeelCosinas]

it looks cool and all but tbh, it doesn't sound good. I think there's too much attack and treble (well compared to how BK plays it). I'm guessing its because of how you pluck the strings but I'm a guitar player so I'm probably wrong.

[jrwaneurysm]

@JerahmeelCosinas The song was meant to be played with a pick.

[JerahmeelCosinas]

@jrwaneurysm I would agree but it wasnt played with a pick in the ofcial video

[Smonsequenses]

@jrwaneurysm It's obviously not played with a pick, in the video nor the album version. If you play with a pcik you generally have even more attack and sustain. It's just the difference in the sound of the bass, not in play style.

[DefunktThePistol]

@jrwaneurysm It's a cover, this song wasn't "meant" to be played in a single way, you just have to add your own style to it.

[MrMousefield]

@jrwaneurysm just because you can't play that fast with your fingers doesn't mean no one else can

[jrwaneurysm]

@MrMousefield That has zero relevance at all to what I posted.

[MrMousefield]

@jrwaneurysm did you write it?

no you didn't, so I don't think you have the right to say what it was "meant" to be played with, so just shutup and play it your way and leave everyone else alone \m/

[RaffaBass95]

what's the exact brand of thtat bass?

I realy need to know...

[jkjgiants26]

@RaffaBass95 he said in the description, its a Tuscany. Google them Tuscany guitars.

[RaffaBass95]

@jkjgiants26 i saw that after making the question xD

thank you anyways

[RaffaBass95]

what is the exact brand of that bass?

I wan't to buy a new one...so I realy need to know

[BlackwalI]

Haha elle est trippante à jouer cette ligne de basse, joli montage au passage ;)

[Speakman17]

wow that's amazing

[dakio21]

YOU'RE THE BEST!

[TwoSevenElevenEighty]

HOLY FUCK!

[EspeonVI]

This is why I love bass players.

[boubouthebass]

Très bon travail :) t'a les tab stp ?

[aristo19961013]

[oaxaca911]

[JELLYS1AP]

[KillingWithASmile100]

That was amazing! please never stop playing

[basketstyle100]

Love you.

[TheCarbonPONreoxide]

The beach huh? touche!

[Emptyhand]

Am I the only one who thinks he's plucking waaayyyyyy too hard?

[rahagbab]

@Emptyhand That's the only way to get a nice precise tone on the bass, I do it too.

[maxprix]

@rahagbab well, it depends on what you are playing...! there are songs that you can't play in this way but look alive sounds just perfect played like this!

[rahagbab]

@maxprix True.

[samillaji]

That is so good bro, i love this song, keep rockin bro :)

[santofreak]

SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lele634]

Just look at how his bass perfectly suits The background..

Loved The song and how you played it!! -3

[trykkermike]

great :) perfect. - and great vid.

[goldielockstherobot]

@hhh121100 it depends on the style of music you're playing. dont hate on a different style, there are times when using a pick sounds better in general or maybe just better to certain people.

[stopwarstartmetal]

OMG awesome!

[xbobbyx100]

David never use a pick because he is that awesome! :D

[JustinPlaysBass97]

@xbobbyx100 fuck you

[xbobbyx100]

@JustinPlaysBass97 Jealous enough bitch? You obviously don't have the skills like David does, so do you know what I suggest you to do? GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS and learn!

[JustinPlaysBass97]

@xbobbyx100 no david is my favorite bassist and I am learning. I play 3 hours a day. All I said was I don't personally think its bad to use a pick.

[xbobbyx100]

@JustinPlaysBass97 Then don't just curse people for nothing, I said he is cool enough to not use a pick, you can have many styles as you want, if you rather to use a pick then use a pick and if you are good enough using a pick, it's awesome! But what I meant is Davids' style is cool because in most of his videos he uses his fingers that's why I said it.

[JustinPlaysBass97]

@xbobbyx100 Okay well sorry if I offended you. I thought you were one of those anti- pick bassists. Personally I use my fingers or slap 95% of the time, but I think picks are okay sometimes. Have a good day

[xbobbyx100]

@JustinPlaysBass97 Lol it's okay, I'm sorry for getting angry :$, but yeah slapping is funky that's why I like about it. :)

[JustinPlaysBass97]

@xbobbyx100 yeeaaahh

[kbretones]

i just learned this song on bass with my fingers it is not easy

[KagrraArchives11]

you're doing it right, the song isn't supposed to be played with a pick

[MoShow56]

Mec! Tu gère vraiment ta basse, j'ai appris en regardant tes vidéos donc merci de m'inspirer et de me donner envi de jouer! =)

[vicmagondi]

fantastico!

[Orangemongoose1]

I can play with my fingers really fast now, but you keep one-upping me Daveyboy. You're a fucking prodigy and you need to upload more videos after your band's on tour cause we (mainly I) miss you!
