[22FretsIsNotEnough]

'Thank you for purchasing my video' Oh uh, yeah... Awkward.

[RyanakaRhino18]

lool this dude is jokes XD

[bassbiff]

I have tried to play 1:28 for soo long now....can't do it!

[M4Vicente]

@bassbiff I'm a keyboard player, never touched a bass in any serious fashion. When I listened to that bit at 1:28 I thought "That must be the hardest thing to do in this whole video." I mean, you still got the bass line on and he's doing a funk vamp with a 2-string chord on top of it, right? Oh and at the speed of light. With one hand.

[TikiShootah]

why is he playing with tho rhythmless chumps. They sounded awful then he shows up and its like he was visitor he was so good

[IronBassMaiden]

Dude This blows my mind!!!!!

[nakedyoga420]

Black music at its best baby!!!!

[Whizzblitz]

Holy crap, this gguy is Entertainment Incarnate... and an amazing bassist.

[TehHaloNoob1337]

[simenandreas]

[coopah1]

Great showmanship! Man you got it.

[punkiassjunki]

the start sounded like suck my kiss by red hot chili peppers

[KrusemarkMusic]

Today we're gonna cover a lot of ground.

And while we''re at it - hold on!

(Connects with the mothership

I'm back!

[mynameiskyled00d]

1:28-1:34 his fingerwork is unfrigginbelievable.

[GaryStanionis]

It's all about Paul Jackson...... TM is bad but The Headhunters was all Herbie, Paul and Harvey Mason...... Paul is the funk!

[clamNshaun]

"Today we're going to cover a lot of ground and while we're at it- wait a minute"

Connects with the mothership

"OWW HUH........I'm back"

[TrashcanBoogie]

got to get up to get down! got to get down to get up! bootsie collins begs for a sitdown.

[Rsspecial1]

from 1:57 to 2:00 that little riff has had me amazed for 2 going on 3 years. such a catchy little tune.. all 3 seconds of it ahahah, love it!

[Yamchakka]

My name is Tim Stevens.

Everyone is gonna start calling me Teem Stevens from now on.

Great.

[oggi1994]

thank you for purchasing my video...and we're all watching it here on youtube xD

[levistoner]

Yeah, TM is the REAL deal. Dude can play his ass off, but he can lay down a thick groove right in the pocket when it's needed. Funky like Bootsy and rocks it like Cliff.

[fenderfreak99]

Cocaine is one hell of a drug!

[yellofury]

that bass afterwards was saying to itself "#^@@ I need a drink of water after that $^&#!!!!"

TM gave that bass Stockholm Syndrome

[5lug]

AHAHAHA DA DA DOO DOO DA DA DA DOO DOO DAAA YOOWW HEEEEEEYYYYY

[dartweider89]

też chcę być takim pokurwionym murzynem:D

[HumpDeBump100]

its a black version of Flea lmao

[DonaldDemon]

TM came out to see my band last night and gave us major props. Probably one of the coolest nights of my life! He is such a humble and good person, nuthin but good vibes. I am lucky enough to live in the same town! He is a mutha funkin bass masta!

[jreg88]

"Ok Token, now give me a smooth bass-line."

"I don't know how to play bass."

"Token, how many times do we have to go through this? You're black...you can play bass."

"I'm getting sick of your stereotypes."

"Be as sick as you want; just give me a goddamn bass-line!"

[FatTomy]

@jreg88

1:27 ;) best bassline ever heaaaaaaard!

[82613880889]

Thanks for this upload, pickle965!!

Love you TM!!!

[Deetroiter]

Anyone know what song he's playing just when he comes back from his zoneout and says "im back"? That groove is nasty as hell. Please let me know if it's a song of his or just him groovin

[SHIFFTY666]

@Deetroiter Thats just him groovin. I saw him live 6 times and he's doing that stuff in his solos every time.

[Deetroiter]

Stops in the middle of his own instructional video to zone out and break it down...haha

[newfighter20]

[djchopsticks0208]

[Xiuxiu1121]

[JackytheRippler]

@yellofury He's like "The Animal" on bass!

[KingOfPain35]

@yellofury HAHAHAHA! I'm going to have to find an opportunity to use the word "Funk Muppet"! Instant classic.

[MysteriousDrF]

:o Oh man, that guy needs a medal for services to the funk... *looks sadly at thumb*

[WOLVOSTONER]

@MysteriousDrF lmao

[KingOfPain35]

@MysteriousDrF "*looks sadly at thumb*" ok, that just cracked me up. hahahaha

[DiseaseAndPlague]

I would sell my soul to learn T.M.'s harmonic-basslines. Sounds so fucking awesome!

[m0j0101]

i wish he was my uncle

[magnalemuria]

im sure that im not the only bass player that picked the bass after this video xD 

[InternalError10]

i dont know what just happend..but this is awesome

[StrawberryJungle]

That is JAM HOT!

[Basis213]

Yeah man, saw you last week in the Village club here. You were rocking Bavaria really well. This person is magnetic. He comes on stage and involves the audience to play and dance with him. My friend played guitar with him.. still unbelieveble. very open minded and kindhearted man. And funky as hell! Thank You!

[paolohginc]

he's got the fuckin' groove!

[Voidhead]

Anyone else thinks he sounds like a muppet?

[DrumCoalitionWithWar]

haha 1:47

[MrMattFightmaster]

this guy, for me, is who pushes the boundaries of bass should be ... the blend of metal distortion and pure funk groove is just incredible - if only all music was like that

[koolfraser]

...and while we're at it, wait a minute, duddudududududdududdud, haww! yaaow hey! uuggghh!

[xXBuccinOXx]

[Xiuxiu1121]

groooooovy

[Semimentalman2]

whatever he does at 2:25 is an amazin sound

[Fuckshockofgod]

@Semimentalman2 It's some kind of effect pedal

[SHIFFTY666]

@Semimentalman2 It`s Distortion and a Whammypedal.

[Semimentalman2]

@SHIFFTY666 its an awesome sound int it?

[SHIFFTY666]

@Semimentalman2 Yes it is, he`s my favourite Bassplayer i saw him live 5 times.

[ToX23in]

@Semimentalman2

Sounds like a controlled ring mod to me.

[cricket12ish]

i here the funk yo........

[Aryo3]

[ArkanePhantasm]

[bdchancer]

Today were gonna cover a lot of ground....and while were at it...wait a minute...DER-DER-DER-DERDD-DDE­R-DER-DER-DDER-Ow!--Yah Hey!!....I'm back!!!!....fucking brilliant and piss funny

[alstocko]

I love the cheesy-ness that he was just sitting in his van and happened to hear drums...

[matiasngrau]

it's a warwick streamer stage I (or maybe a stage II, but a warwick streamer for sure)

[alstocko]

The final frontier of Bass, the final frontier???

I like it!

[pakitoolove]

excelente funk

[FatKidCookie]

WAYYY FUNKY

[SuperNinjaDrummer]

any body here a bass player contact me

[faisalfarissi]

that was cort bass isn't it?

[gladglizzurrb]

@faisalfarissi thats a warwick

[faisalfarissi]

@gladglizzurrb it's cort dude, look at the bass head.

[WeisseSocke]

@faisalfarissi No it's Warwick. T.M. Stevens had a signature Bass by Cort, but that is much later then this video. BTW, he went back to Warwick now.

[gladglizzurrb]

@faisalfarissi and this head is pretty unique with the machine-heads pointing towards the player, and at 1:20 you can "see" the W...

[alstocko]

@gladglizzurrb It's not special because of the headstock and machineheads, a lot of warwicks have that

[gladglizzurrb]

@alstocko i totally know that. and i only wrote about the head to make clear that this is a warwick bass, and not a cort or something else, as it was said before

[mrbassmasta]

@faisalfarissi i See a big W

[bassman0325]

elegante el viejo TM steevens
