[Dente18]

What a great job you've done, bloke.

It is helpful, indeed.

[nickbaldeagle01]

This is the best bassline to any song ever.

[cc014m5507]

spot on !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

[jonnd272]

Thanks a lot man!!! Haha <3



[MobiusRoom]

thanks for teaching me how to play that!!much appreciated....(altho im ashamed to say im playing it with a pick!!....sounds too aggressive....wheras you got that bubbling nicely)....

[animotionman]

@MobiusRoom Wow, if you can play this bassline with a pick, I'm very impressed! I find picking very hard...:-)

[FaunKeH]

@animotionman i dont think bass should ever be played with a pick :P same for me though, smooth on the two fingers, not so great with a pick. its the reason i switched from guitar to bass

[Ystadcop]

Wow, great stuff. I remember a gig years ago when the singer (can't remember for the life of me which band it was) was introducing the other players - finally he turned to the bassman and said "And jackin' off on the rumblehammer is..........."

Sums up bass playing doesn't it?

classic-killer-lownote-groove! great cover and lesson

[pboshell]

Wonderful......Love the way you broke it down. well done 

[orchid81080]

your lakland sounds mean man, is that one of the US made ones, the duck dunn or somethin?

[animotionman]

@orchid81080 Thanks. It is a Lakland Darryl Jones, Skyline model. One of the best models they made IMHO.

[kiwijohn01]

I LOVE this song... and I knew the bassline was tough but whoa.!!!! ... well done mate.

[jamesjonesrocket]

thanks so much for your time mate, excellent teaching video ( and great playing as well!)

[derrymadness]

one of the best bass lines on the planet. great job man

[Geomaxify]

I am a struggleing bass learner but selected this bass line as it sounds great. Really useful to see how it's meant to be played. Awsome fluidity to your play. Any other pratice bass lines /tunes you suggest to help my play?

[animotionman]

@Geomaxify

Thanks. Try "The chicken" by Jaco Pastorius. It's a great tune for learning about timing and playing in the groove.

iN THE WILDS OF bORNEO...CLASS

p.s JESS you have an exceptionally cool dad - good blinking luck!!

[jesssargentx]

my dad made a deal with me that if i learn this bassline, he'll buy me a fender jazz bass. as a thirteen year old with no money, that is an offer i cannot refuse.

it's bloody hard! so thanks for this, helps a lot!

[animotionman]

@jesssargentx That' s a great deal! You have a great dad.. :-)

[johnkx]

@jesssargentx Can your dad adopt me?

[EoinLfc09]

@jesssargentx my dad did a similar deal with me when i was 12, with Led Zeppelin's 'Ramble On'. Have to say, I've loved my jazz bass ever since ;)

[stingray1979]

Thats a great tone man! what Lakland model is that please? you play with amazing fluidity & make it look effortless!

[Beccazzify]

OMG!! You are so good! 5 stars for you :)

[massivedickweedohyea]

what's your bass by the way? it's such a cool design.

[BIGeSTRING]

mooi markbass versterkertje heb je achter staan, die dingen klinken me toch een partij.

wat voor jazz basv is dat trouwens waar je hit me op speeld, dat is toch geen sandberg of wel. ik kan de kleine lettertjes nl niet lezen haha.

[SteeleCurtain411]
