[andy54ful]

BADASS



[Bathead0040]

I come back to this video two years later, and people are still bitching and asking about the headless bass.

[kwfsuperstar]

wtf is up wth ur bass

[martinmelon]

hey thats interesting and different :P a headless bass graphite? hmm doesnt go with the bass but original and if you think about it sound pretty cool :P nicely done respect ;)

[Rykune]

It's like the Protest's bass players guitar, sexy :)

[TheSentimental97]

i love it fuck the haters....Boats an Hoes!

[MrBobbymcBobbers]

wow that is one fucking ugly bass

[bstoybox]

@MrBobbymcBobbers Well dude its actualy a fucking ugly 1000 dollar(or more... D:) bass...

[yousuperpussy]

ok so in my opinion you are playing a bass, like a guitar.

[bass5445]

@yousuperpussy i didnt know there was a certain way a guitar is played and a certain way bass is played. they are just both tools to express yourself. so narrow minded....

[yousuperpussy]

@bass5445 you fucking wish bitch.

[bass5445]

@yousuperpussy you clearly dont play an instrument. why are you even looking @ this

[yousuperpussy]

@bass5445 once again you fucking wish bitch. if you think you can tell anything about me other than I like to curse and insult people that annoy the fuck out of me your dead wrong.

[nomaddrunk]

god I hated that bass it was my first bass , but nice playin man

[TheThunderbass71]

@PiaggioMax Ummm... overdrive is distortion.

[assadbokhari]

isnt this guy just a guitarist on a bass?

[BTS252]

@assadbokhari I agree with you,...

[yousuperpussy]

@assadbokhari AMEN!!!

[simonsimon4131]

I really like it! Looks like you're having fun too.

[Metal8909]

He sucks, sounds like crap, and look at his shirt, tucked in and shit

[Sambbab]

buttery tone

[theoriginalnoob93]

its a Steinberger headless bass....the noob knos sumthing :)

[fluflu11]

You got the groove, but it sounds ugly xD

[fluflu11]

You got the groove, but it sounds ugly xD

[Killerdog2100]

that style of bass sounds like crap

[anguzzz1]

can anyone get the tab to this?>??

[suxdudemungus]

please someone tell me kind of bass this is!!!!

[suxdudemungus]

what kind of bass is that!? I saw one just liek it at a pawn shop i live by..might need to go pick it up

[XxHawaiiFiveOXx]

Amazing

[psychadelism]

Cool riff, for guitar. You play the bass, which is awesome in a whole other way. Don't try to be a guitarist just because it might seem cool, lay off the distortion and use your fingers and play like a bassist and not like a guitarist with a bass.

[neemarco93]

pessimo D:

[kesiziher666]

rock on dude, you're good :D

[md80x15]

hummm someone gave a guitar player a bass!

[666abigailwilliams]

where are the tuning knobs

[jmaguerra]

@666abigailwilliams There are none. The strings are tuned at the factory, and they stay that way. Forever.

[0magertrud]

@jmaguerra

thger are tuning nobs They arer hidden in the body . You have to take special strings with balls at both ends ffor this bass

[jmaguerra]

@0magertrud Thank you, captain obvious ;) you just won the prize for least sarcastic person of the year.

[LRMMcDonnell]

played just like a guitar :/

[SaintUdnitz]

god...this is bad. learn to play guitar. a bass doenst deserve to be played like this...

[ebbeef]

Keep doing this dude, because if people are saying its so bad, then they should try and do it, because most of you guys dont have a clue about music, or how hard it is to play an intrument, i think that sounded amazing. And if people dont agree, then you try. Simples.

[mkrokocki]

nice sound, but i think this bass is ugly ;D

[goldenaxel321]

@mkrokocki That "bass" is hideous. It's one of those shitty fake "electric bass". A REAL bass is a REAL guitar, not this crap.

[AllRockable]

are you to stupid to play with YOUR FINGERS or what ?

[proggod876]

too much false harmonix man

[Brian19451]

What kind of bass is it?

[proggod876]

@Brian19451 a steinberger headless bass

[CLIXODO]

which bass is ?

[dtonbassist]

im not saying he's a bad bass player or all of the other stuff people complain about on this video but i just dont see it as a very interesting bass line

[iop223]

how white can you get?

[lukas28ytb]

the bass soiunds so cool

[MaruStien]

dude can u tab it ? xD , i'd like to learn it

[black3unlimited]

lol, what the guy is playing is easy to do without the pick. Its not even that spectaculair.

He keeps on holding thesame rythm which is....boring?

He's not a good bassplayer, at all.

[AustralLord]

Nice!

[Rovdyret89]

that bass looks really messed up to me :) but good played

[Dakeyras42]

You have to work on it.

It seems that you are a bit confused.

By the way, plectrum is OK!

[BertisEvil66]

work on your groove man !!!

(and your sound !!)

shit

[fparkm]

the reason why he is using a plectron is that he is not used to spank his riffs away x) lol

[DefenderOfTheFaith92]

but you could argue tht if he can play all these licks tht he will surely be able to play gorves and bass lines

[dharmaseed]

I don't know...a groove player will timekeep with some part of his body..don't see that happening here.

[AustralLord]

He's moving! C'mon, this is great!

[simonsimon4131]

@dharmaseed

some do, some don't

[sailingseb]

now i know it all: this guy was soo bad at the guitar in school, he had to play bass. to get over it, he played all the guitartunes on his bass. thats why he uses a plectron. right ?

[sailingseb]

shure i hate his bass, well the look of it, but he knows how to play it. respect !

[spoofzilla]

That's cool, but I think you should play a bit more in the low end of the bass, after all it's not a guitar it's a bass.

[luapduape]

man this is kick ass

[0wntJorBacon]

Lmao

I love the way he bobs his head.

[FreshBeefDips]

Excelelnt

[tonefinder]

buy a guitar man...

[onehundredfortythre]

You are such a BAMF... =]

[Detlef353]

whats the name of the song? tabs?

i like it

[Momcilo93]

very nice

[apc467]

"another cool riff" im yet to find a half decent riff by this guitarist wannabe. I serisouly dont see why he doesnt play guitar... well he probably does, but i bet he thinks he is skillful cause he THINKS he can play

[Cr0fter]

kk, well you post a video of you doing better

[cptnzoso]

Its not a guitar.. geeze.

[mjriley2994]

im not against usin a pick but i think if you do you better have some serious chops cause with a pick it's just a guitar with fewer strings

[Coflict1234]

Epic Fail - thats the only way to discribe this...sounds nothing like a bass...

[Xakaryus]

so your saying that a bass player has to be stuck playing boring shit in the backround, or it has to be a smooth soft bassline, because personally, I love it when the bass player pulls crazy shit out

[Momcilo93]

i agree

[mcduym]

This is not crazy shit.... It would sound horrible if you actually tried to make a song with this as the bassline. Bass is supposed to bridge the gap between the rhythm and the melody or guitar. This is not a bass line.

[tortillachip520]

well with all the distortion there would be no bass to the song, it would be all highs and trebly and be a miserable thing to listen to.

a little distortion is alright, just look at geddy, but when there are no lows there is a problem.

[simonsimon4131]

@mcduym

yes, because all things musical should be precisely defined, no stepping out of line here sir.

[Dragunai]

@Xakaryus Some of the fun songs I've heard and actually inspired me to start taking lessons where things like 3 days grace - Animal I have become while on the total contrast you have feel good inc by the Gorillaz. I know they are kinda samey after the 1st run through but I love them. This riff is pretty awesome though.

[kevinrocksatbass]

dont use a pick bro you gotta pluck it

[iluvpunisher]

Wait... hahah. What?

[aqren550]

way to be close minded youtube. these may be more so guitar riffs but is it a bad thing? i mean whats the point of playing an instrument if you can't just play to be who you are?

[XxFoolzRkoolxX]

not bad skill, but nothing like a bass guitar.

[philliploposser]

I would say that it was good... BUT considering its a BASS GUITAR!!! I never want to hear that again. Stick with guitar.

[ryzk93]

wow....he ruined the term "bass guitar"....awful 1 star

[BizarroStu]

So would you say Cliff Burton was a bad bassist?

[ryzk93]

never herd of him lol...and if he plays like this...yah yah he is

[BizarroStu]

That's the most disgusting thing I've read today. Coming from a guy who's first video is of an attempt at a Metallica song in GH...

[ryzk93]

its rock band two years a go lol :P...and at least metallica nos how to keep music to its tradition

[BizarroStu]

Now that reply really made me giggle...

And btw, Cliff Burton was the legendary bassist on every Metallica album pre ...And Justice For All.

[ryzk93]

shit lol yah cliff burton was by far 3rd best bass player aside from iron maidens and rush's but he doesnt play with that tone...lol, he plays with no distortion

[Ruskiedann]

...Cliff plays without distortion?

Are you 12 or just retarded?

[ryzk93]

he does not play with distortion you fucking fag...ask metallica ur self jesus fuck....and yah maybe im both...r u makeing fun of a 12 year old retard?? grow some fucking balls you fag

[fercho2040]

...? Ever considered shooting yourself man?

[ryzk93]

yah my dad commited sucide thanks fuck head....thanks

[fercho2040]

why bring that up?

[MattToThe2Power]

@Ruskiedann lol right?

Cliff is so well known for playing with wa-wa pedals and od distortions

kudos for knowin your shit

[MasterMetallica010]

@Ruskiedann what's you fcking problem with 12 year old people??

i'm now 12 and i know everything about metallica you asshole

[Soboliew]

@MasterMetallica010 You know shit boy cause you didnt been even born in the 80's

[MasterMetallica010]

@Soboliew so

[mikaboom123]

@Ruskiedann well (unfortunately) Cliff USED TO PLAY with distortion(thats good).... but we dont have him with us anymore

[PenguinThug]

Hmmm...

Does playing a headless bass give off a different tone? Or does this guy just like the feel of it?

[theScytheofGod]

I'm a musician, and quite frankly, he sounds like he should be playing guitar. And, even though I occasionally play bass with a pick, I still think it's kind of cheating. Still, I'm not trying to take anything away from his skill.

[rafizzle6]

that's a distorted sound he's using right? man i still got to figure out how to make certain sounds by tuning my amp.

[Jonny29889]

Am probably gna get slagged of for this but.. I dnt like them type off basses.. but it does sound nice.. n its one good bass riff! x

[hangar31]

how the fuck does he tune that thing!!!!!!!!!

[Tylerandhisbass]

Fine tuners, around the bottem. It's called a headless bass.

[OtroMaZ]

Thats a guitar riff.

[xxxslurpeexxx]

...thats a fuzz box he is using =P learn before u speak

[lavaxtris1]

what?

[csRocker]

its barracuda right?

[alphamaha2]

sweet, no head bass

[dependentvariable]

I wanted to see a bass riff, not a guitar riff.

[gofurr360z]

it is a bass riff but unfortunatally sounds like a guitar

[bassistfromholland]

yeah i agree, its not really " Bass(ie) "

[gofurr360z]

lol "bassie"

[SLUH2011]

i play bass like a bass. this is a guitar riff

[elthoro94o]

TAB THAT SHIT

[80srockixass]

dude you kick ass at the bass

im a bass player myself but i gotta say, this is a guitar riff

[P00Ntrawler]

i dont care if it sounds like a guitar riff its still awsome

[bradH2414]

wow this is more of a guitar riff than a bass one... go buy a guitar u traitor

[theorytest5]

it isn't  a riff though really people throw the word riff around too much and don't use it correctly...

[theorytest5]

i retract the above statement, i forgot which video i was commenting on.

[12345JJBB]

Fuck off.

If you want a guitar sound...

Get a guitar.

Bass kicks ass though, this just isnt... bassy

Y'know?

[lowerclassrock]

i play bass many diffrent ways somtimes with a pick and i think this guy is really good i wish i had that type of bass

[ertdfg678]

that is a stienburger i think

[rlockett]

one more thing, what he is doing is not bad, infact great and alot of ppl cant do what hes doing. and playing with a pik is a different sound just like playing slapbass, BUT and a big but, his souond he is making in this video takes away from the bass and sounds more like a guitar.... there are way to pik and sound like a bass....BUT HIS GUY CAN PLAY BASS AND GUITAR WHICH ALOT MORE PPL CANT DO....im not hate'in, his guy has a compelet parkage.... keep up the gud work man

[rlockett]

doesnt sound like a bass, i play the bass and i just not feeling what your doing, its cool thou. and it sound like a guitar with ur eyes closed.....cool thou.. REALLY, and u got skillz man.

[pimpjuice8921573]

your bass is decapitated =[ lol jk

[seventhCrucifix]

All you people who are telling him to "get a guitar" and all this bullshit must not actually play the bass.

There's nothing wrong with a pick.

This is a badass riff, ya'll are retarded.

[JohnnyCoolMusic]

YOU ARE RIGHT! :)

[SvartHelligdom]

buy a guitar...-.-" !!

[ryanmugs]

a good 1 and the kind u play

[EricN1995]

wat kind of bass iz dat

[bassforlife4]

its synapse bass

[wormsinya]

he got to start acting like a bassist instead of guitarist but the riff is still awesome

[wolfynessness]

So your someone who thinks bassists are confined to playing the way they do in all of today's crappy bands.

This was a tasty ass riff, I just don't like the headless bass.

[wormsinya]

its a good riff i just said he doesnt sound like a bassist he sounds like a guitar riff

[ruulz]

get a guitar!

[marc1979Guitare]

Is it the solo of metallica?? robert tryjilo at mexico?

[fuhcq2]

where can i get tabs for that i like it

[JHeifetz100]

[FreshBeefDips]

Nice!

[elbagina]

This shit aint cool, go fuck yourself dude

[josephschreiber]

Why not just play guitar

[Rhysinator19]

sweet riff.

[MagnificentFiend]

Ditto - way awesome!

[fetiz2323]

HEY MAN! dont listen to the others you were awesome.. who gives a fuck that he uses picks? it sounded really cool man!

[metalhound69]

wtf if someone finds that picking comes easyer to them and sounds better there is nothing wrong with it u dumb ass there is nothing wrong with this dudes playing and it is distorted because he is playing by himself and not with a band idiots!!!

[metalhound69]

that was pretty awsome and hey billpurcellll i bet you cant even play smoke on the water on bass

[GecSword]

Why? Because he uses a pick?

I can name at least 10 VERY famous bassists who use picks. Are they embarressments too?

[slabness]

Lol, You needs a guitar mate, more power to you, but a bass guitar shouldn't sound like that, the word "bass" kinda means it should be... let's see... bassy!

Fail

[xeatmyshorts]

nice sound. i like the cowboy skipping type sound in it. :]

[Necrom101]

I know, it was so catchy that I wrote something similar for my guitar...I can't stop playing it!

[trigger15239]

y dont u just buy an electric guitar? That just ruins REAL bass guitar

[dallasmaurice23]

how do you tune those things?

[Bobsunckle1]

Normally the pegs are in the main body part (other side of strings)

[username125418]

i dont know why all you pricks are giving him abuse have none of you listened to riffs by cliff burton? listen to the song anestesia by metallica its all fucking amazing bass like that!

[gordeteh]

[hillbillyvampyre]

4 real!

[666worshiper]

[artistanbul]

I hope none of the people dissing the bassist is worshipping cliff burton.

[AzetFireStorm]

YOU'RE FUCKING PLAYING IT WRONG.

[zcl812]

[seedaddyfly]

[tacoman92]
