Awesome Slapbass solo (Bassline to swipe)

[JohnLMcCoy]

There's something missing from this video ...... Your shirt sleeves.

[splatcrash]

Kurt, please tell me dude... how the hell do you do that repeated note at around 0:10?? great vid as always

[KurtSandford]

@splatcrash

Its a single harsh play in time. No tricks to it =]

[MrMatyboy3000]

hey man is that a custom thumb? looks like a badass 2 bridge and inlays?

[KurtSandford]

@MrMatyboy3000

Its a 1987' JD thumb bass with a 1 piece bridge. Its not custom, it's also quite alot smaller than todays thumbs. And the headstock is really chunky looking lol =D

[KurtSandford]

@MrMatyboy3000

and the vintage thubs had inlays before they went more mainstream, i dont know why they would get rid of them though.

[MrMatyboy3000]

@MrMatyboy3000 any particular reason for the bridge change?

[operadesigns]

Go ahead and call it awesome. It was!

[deathtojersey]

Between you and Marlow i didnt know anything else was on youtube other than bass vids. bahah KEEP IT UP BROTHER,

[maddtappin]

that's some tasty licks!

[SaintUdnitz]

this is very cool, BUT:

why do people call themselves or the music they play "awesome"?? that makes me think your full of yourself immediately...

thats my only complain about this.

your music rocks, but that attitude of calling it awesome is way over the top, dude...I never heard Flea, Frusciante or anyone call himself the greatest.

except for jaco but he was an arse ;)

[KurtSandford]

@SaintUdnitz

I just put that in the title because that what gets the views... anything with awesome amazing ect seems to get all the views???

[SaintUdnitz]

@KurtSandford

*sigh*...sure it does. But is that worth it? If you call your own video that everybody thinks that you think you're awesome. I personally think it's lame to call my own skills awesome...

that's up to other people ;)

BTW if you had called it "worst slap bass ever" (Im NOT saying that!) you would have got even more views ;)

[simonsimon4131]

@KurtSandford understandable

[MCLOVIN50]

@SaintUdnitz I disagree, calling a bass solo awesome isn't being conceited at all...Should he title it a shitty bass solo?

There's nothing wrong having a little confidence in yourself and your playing...It sounds like you took the title too far..

[SaintUdnitz]

@MCLOVIN50 he said himself that he didnt title it awesome because he's confident but because he wants to get many views...I get you though...

and no, I didnt take it too far IMO, read my first comment, I'll stick with it...

[Ldg972]

Very good, giv' me your hands !! loool

[musiqman24]

That was freakin bomb bro.

I love the 0:12-0:13 part, how do you do that?

[SaintUdnitz]

@musiqman24 double-thumb ;)

[Pendokone]

oh nothing, didnt check your other videos ;D

[Pendokone]

you are in a band? can you post/send some url or something so i hear it?

[hashuan]

Hey man, I just commented on another one of your videos. I've been making computer music for a few years, but started out as a bass player & also spent the majority of my teenage years in my bedroom aping 'impossible' basslines to impress friends (& girls). I get a shivery looking at your vids because you remind me of myself (though that's probably a complement to myself & an insult to your playing :)

Hope you keep it up, and I expect to see big things from you!

[alexfunkii34]

your band is to rock for you man

[KurtSandford]

Yeah i get told that alot. I don't mind i enjoy it and i have my solo work on the side so i get to do my thing whenever. =]

[tokyojoband]

[finnishmetalfreak090]

[KurtSandford]
