You've been listening to too much Cliff Burton. You have potential, but it's time for you to get into some other bassists. For starters, there's Geddy Lee (Rush), Chris Squire (Yes), John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin)... if you're more into metal, check out Steve Harris (Iron Maiden)... one last tip - play clean, stay in the pocket and keep a fat, groovy bottom line going... there's much more to bass than soloing like Cliff Burton...
It was alright, you could use more lows with the disortion though, too much treble gives it a twangy guitarish sound but that's just my advice, but go for whatever you feel.
Whoever said Cliff was the only one with this style? Billy Sheehan plays the same way too. So if you don't like my style of playing, then don't watch my video, go to another bass player's video that you want to hear, because I'm not going to change my style because you and two other people said I should
OK U CAN PLAY WHAT U LIKE AND THAT'S IMPORTANT... NICE WAH... I HATE UR TONE THOUGH, BAD TECHNIQUE.. AND QUIT LOOKING AT THE CAMARA CAUSE UR NO BRAD PITT FATASS!
hahaha, out of all the lame ass "put downs" that has got to be the funniest. You know I give the others credit for actually making sense with their "put downs" but dude, yours is fucking lame
You know, I'm not even going to waste my time typing to some worthless sack of shit like you, so take your shit to someone who cares. Because I really waste my time reading your retarded "insults" and replying back to them, so take it to someone who cares
HEy, I like it. It's a diffrent style. Kick ass, man. finding one's own path is hard. following the path is even harder. Go on, man, play as you will.
Then lets see you play better, wheres your video, oh thats right, you don't have one. So you don't have the right to talk, show me that you can actually carry a note, then I will respect your judgement
hahaha, I think its funny how people are trying to insult me over the internet. Very tough of you guys. If you had any lifes what so ever, then you would not try to act like a bad ass over the internet. You guys are never going to see me in real life, so my advice to you is, if you got something to say, you either fucking say it to my face, or shut the fuck up. And yeah, I know you might be laughing at this because I'm saying shit over the internet, but apparently, its ok to do so
what is this shit.

Umm... yea... try playing a bass without distortion, it sounds a lot better, and stop listening to metallica if you want to be a bassist.

It's a BASS man--so put some B A S S in your tone! Or just go ahead and get that guitar we know you'd rather be playing.
