Funk slap bass (Fender jazz bass 1972, US made)

[AbsoluteFunkFan]

Every bass player out there has spotted this is a fake, that's why they disliked it. The left hand moves don't even get close to what is played...

[daltonauto]

@AbsoluteFunkFan That's because youtube can have the audio/video timing messed up in the upload....

[xptube1]

VAI CRIAR VERGONHA NA CARA E TOCAR DE VERDADE :s

[MasterShower13th]

Chingón.

[beautyinbreakdowns2]

[FtGoMETAL666]

Badass dude...that was awesome

[fishooke]

[BassGuitarGuy128]

You're a badass motherf***** hahaha nice work!

[LOL11306]

nice phat sound...i like it :)

[adebicki]

also Elvis owned a '72 fender Jazz bass.

[adebicki]

this is super cool bud. don't listen to what those 224 dickheads say. awesome fat funk here. great use of dead notes. i love dead notes and palm muting.

[adebicki]

bad ass groove! great FAT thud sound too.

[TeeFunkable]

Great playing, good pocket... What really got me interested was the fatness of the higher strings, something I've found to be suprisingly string specific. Do you mind me asking what strings you use?

[deyoviC]

Dont even know that Roy Orbison i playing bass

[loserhead619]

223 Suck dick at bass guitar, and are jealous of this guy!

[adebicki]

thudstaff general!

[RockRaddar]

Nice "Beat" really enjoyed it!

[brian395717593]

@RockRaddar NICE??? HEHE HE DONT PLAY, HE ONLY DO THAT PLAY.... THIS IS A GRABATION

[tvrulesnation]

Techniques real crazy, i assume though the placement of yer fingers (ie not the thumb) allow for much easier multiple plucking

[TechSmack]

great playing dude :-)

[byjuu246]

It's amazing how when you don't try,

you can come up with the best

grooves!!!!

[Bradford621]

[Drillogik]

Hey man. Not bad. well done... what advice do you have for someone who has been playing for 9 years but seeks to become AWESOME... thx. and keep jamming.

[CoolSliminns]

If you were wearing those shades and playing crap then I would make fun of you, but you get great sound from that bass so you pull them off! :)

[GRHellFireGR]

Cool playing! You look like terminator......

P.S. Is this the Japanese made Geddy Lee bass?

[kjg8erz8]

[andreking84]

[JCM1325]

What ever happened to good old fashioned finger style playing with no compression?

[stupot295]

@JCM1325 what's wrong with slap and compression?

[UltimateMauno]

Nice, you really got some skill. I wish I was that good =D

[nerooTR]

[LazzzD]

fucking nice song dude xD xDxD xDxDxD xDxDxDxD xDxDxDxDxD xDxDxDxDxDxD xDxDxDxDxD xDxDxDxD xDxDxD xDxD xD

[stevoe1000]

is that an active jazz bass...

[KillbotExtreme]

I'm sorry but that was waaaaayyyyyy too repetitive. Great sound and Technique, no mistakes I could pick up, but I would only listen to something like that if there was some badass guitar over the top and a better drum beat. Try to incorperate some different techniques, rhythms, and pitches. For a solo I'd give it a 3/10, for a backing under a lead section I'd give it a 7/10. Keep it up and try fit some more variety and even some space in there.

[adamles5]

Really, respect man.

[horridism]

hey man is that a new geddy lee signature bass??!! awesome!!! i was thinking about getting my niece one of those instead of the daisy rock bass. i think i'll get the daisy rock bass. the sunglasses might be a good idea though. thanks.

[horridism]

hey is that a geddy lee signature bass?! those are great. my neice wants one of those instead of the daisy rock bass. i still think i'm gonna get her the daisy rock bass.

[PineappleDay]

DAAAM that was tight, so chill. Howard Moon would be proud.

[EvenHummROCKS]

God damn that was awesome!

[fiorentinaregna]

fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

[SouthernRockShock]

what amp do ya use?

[VeteROCK88]

That's NNNNICE!

[pegasus619Q]

are you blind? why are you wearing sunglasses?

[menga111]

hahah

[jaypusha]

hey man, nice chord work...by no means am i a musically inclined individual, but i do appreciate the sound of good music. was thinking about getting into some sort of music again, even if it's one of those flute-like recorder thingy's...got some alto sax experience in my past and got some uncles that play a few different chords. by any chance would that be a Japanese Made Getty Lee Bass you're strumming there?

[SupermanHopkins]

Hey man. I play the Jimbe, and I got a buddy that plays the bass. This cat of mine is pretty sick with his bass playing, but he's all about the Fender and absolutely nothing else. I keep telling him to get up with the Japanese made Geddy Lee bass. Is that the Japanese made Geddy Lee bass that you're playing?

[WHATWEDOISSECRET77]

rad!

[YklausK]

that's really great!

very good sound, nice idea to add the drum beat ... and the sunglasses give the hole thing more funk ;)

[pekahia]

Keep it up dude

[eaton1012]

nice slapping funk dude

[alphaqnow]

Dude, first off, I think you got skills. I'm a keyboardist but I appreciate the skill and technique. Shades or no shades, do you play any different without them? Do your thang man. I do have one question that I HAVE to ask though, I'm just dying to know...is that a Japanese Made Getty Lee Bass?

[adrian480]

thanks, the shades is just fore fun, my bass is from 1972 US made

[Funkyskunk01]

@adrian480 wow 1972?? that neck looks in immaculate condition

[WitteBandera]

@adrian480 Nice bass! One day I'll own one myself...

[italyzplayboi]

goood jobb, like tha dead notes

[bman10030]

i liked the slappin it was funky i thought your examples of non-constructive comments like your gay cause your wearing sunglasses (im not saying that you do i just thought your example was funny)

[spermysperms]

yeah well rehearsed and a tight groove, but you look like a tit x

[D4ni31]

just a suggestion do you have to have your right hand like that looks kinda funky but not the good kind. if its a habbit you cant break then never mind you kick ass

[TheDay666]

no offense...but uhm..you posted that no bad comments stuff just only to scare people not to say what they really think?

still,that was pretty bad ass,nice work +)

[adrian480]

I only remove non-constructive comments, like I am faking because of the delay problem, and that I am a gay because of wearing sunglasses....

But thanks fore the comment

[lavinus]

@adrian480 ur gay 4 wearing sunglasses

nah just kidding man, you've got a good groove too

[Brutalyeah]

@adrian480

Dont take people so serious on youtube.

Nice playin mate!

[CrackerJam6]

Not bad dude, 2 thumbs up

[HappyClineMirthmaker]

wow, umm seriosly, i can't find any critisism, great groove, not relying on speed, rather your using skill, which is a big change of so many other vids on this site. Awsome.

[daveyfunk]

listened to this, and your other posts, sooo many times now. still blows my mind. sooo refreshing to see something with a groove to play rather than the fast as a flash crap that you hear far too often

[apollosaint]

what a pair of glasses

[bobbyflay]

nice man,thats pretty bad ass. i slap/pop too but i dont have any vids and im not that good. so yea,good job

[Gu1tar]

yea dude you got the funk!

[buhlol111]

[MisterNiles]

You can tell he's a bass player by the shades. Good stuff. Solid.

[TEENSPIRIT124]

[sswindgassen]

[bassistjamesd]

hey dude wow that was really good can i have the tab ( if possible) thnx dude well done !!

[adrian480]

Sry no tabs, thx fore the comment

[ab78476]

WOW hey this guy knows his job!!!! How old are you?

[daveyfunk]

[adrian480]

Denmark, thx fore the comment

[sickdiggitydog]

[flamingskull6000]

[flamingskull6000]

Miming lol

[FFTLxx]

Awesome, the shades give it the cool funky feeling to I don't know how but they do.

[davidroque]

great groove man! keep that!

[frustumator]

very nice, definitely one of the better i've heard

[bigdavew123]

lmao u lot are rite he is definatley out of time and miming

[Zeshly]

Yes, you're right. I am seeing the video about a bar and a half out with the audio, so I retract my earlier comment. However Alex , you little faggot, don't come with the insults . I could be insulting and say that I watched the clips of your band and they were basically a fucking racket with a hilarious tone deaf singer and an absolute dickweed of a twat of a bass "player".

But I won't.

[adrian480]

Take it easy 

Sometime it is a god idea to read first, before comment that people is faking

[GUINESSXTRACOLD]

that was funny nice one

[canvoodoo]

really nice man in the pocket

[Alex156]

Nice stuff dude :)

Awesome bass too...i've got the same one, but some parts needs to be repaired :/

Zeshly -> go on googlevid to watch the sync one, before saying he's miming...you stupid -_-

[Zeshly]

YOU LOT KILL ME, HE'S MIMING!

[adrian480]

What is MIMING ????

[HYP03L]

thats what i thought, same with his other vid

[jmiclovesyou]

Didn't you read the description? When YouTube processes his videos, it comes out with the sound delayed.

[cgpl]

kwel shit!!

[oleisss]

guenishimoooo, muy rico!! cool ouiea

[Sproutsaint]

Bass playing that has inspired me to start to learn,the bass is way cooler than lead guitar...it's a long road but i want to be this good!

[hetro94]

he looks blid:D but he's awesome dude

[funkaforfan]

you are COOL!

[iplaybassguitar]

steve manson you'd look a lot less like a douche-bag if you wouldnt make fun of the way people look when they play, its not the look theyre trying to produce, its sound... use your ears. and also if you spelled douche right...

[stevemanson]

really good, but try not to look like a doosh bag when playing

[Artus1991]

really nice. i like that funky stuff

[frodox89]

Nice, keep on rocking in the free world!

[ShawNCrow6]

WoW!

[hasanalmaz]

nice timing and cool slapping.

[WHFB70]

nice job

[adrian5b]

is that a geddy lee bass? if it is, that is exactly the one i dream of, in that same color, the one he used in rio to play driven... it sounds gorgeous

[adrian480]

My jazz bass is a US made from 1972 with a badass bridges, not the Japanese Geddy Lee. Thanks fore comment

[adrian5b]

It looks a lot like the one Geddy uses in Rio to play Driven, look for the video. Anyway, your bass kicks ass

[adrian480]

My bass is from 1972 US made, with a badass bridges rest is stock, thanks

[skuzi]

my dick is eight inches because of this, i wanna learn

[bigdavew123]

i like it m8 very good

[wolf42]

severe groove hemmorage!

[sonikJ]

nice1. boing

[drumsetman19]

keep on keeping on

[lazybass]

nice playing,keep up a good work..

[SirFunkBass]

Dude, great job...

[oblivionmankind]

now that's some cool slappin dude! hey, I'm gonna steal that bass of yours:P love it!

[Bass7X]

Man I loved that I like the bass too keep that FUNK up

[mginsel]

HELL YA! Keep groving, who cares about your sunglasses? You pop/pull without even looking!

[davimaru]

pretty nice... i hope i can play the bas that way someday...

warm regards

[ccoolhaupt]

awesome, how long have you been playing?

[shenanigans]

Fuunkyy.. :D

[DaRockwilderTwenny]

Nice Bass playing, great Job, but change your Sunglasses :-p

[TheFleadh]

Attends, en jouant ça tu devrais te faire plaisir, pas rester stoïque devant la caméra :D Nice solo !

[isaydudelikemad]

nice shades, better groove.

[spartan9180]

someone should get the tabs for the seinfeld even though its a synthesizer and play it it sounds so hard!

[greybread]

That's really groovy man. You can't beat the tones coming from that bass. Also, that drum track sounds nice with it. Usually every drum track I have sounds really cheasy or video-gamey, but this totally works. One suggestion though. On your next video, I think it would be great if you let some of the pops ring out a bit longer... but seriously man, keep playing.

[Chickybass]

fucky groove mate!

btw.. your right pinky is funny! it looks like a hook

[cdenver]

Nice groove.

[ahviamusicom]

I play a jazz bass myself. the tone is great for funk and jazz both.

[syncop8r]

LuGiah - Hunter meant playing a Fender JAZZ Bass.

[bassist13]

i love that sound, btw what strings do you use?

[adrian480]

DR high beam or fat beam

[LuGiah]

Hunter he plays FUNK and you fail at musicgenres BADLY, anway great slapping.

[RTBM]

You Kick ass with that line man!!! why not do that on stage??? HAHAHA

[Niallkelly]

Maybe hes blind

[JeeprzCreepers56]

whats with the sunglasses?

[KickAssIchi]

funkadelic :)

really like your sunglasses :p

keep it up

[camodude51]

u can grove, i agree with dave, the really fast stuff just wows ppl but they don't actaully enjoy it, this stuff seems easy but its good coz u got it

[davedutch]

u understand the art of grooving! dont listen to the silly boys who only thinks in how fast they can play

[mikebalzaryflea]

realy easy simple slap and pop nothing hard and you cant beat a fender presicion

[Hunter623]

You DO know that he's playing a Jazz, right?

[suckmeraw]

you rock dude...ill get there one day....got a ????....I need some SIMPLE drum loops to build some rhythm to..does anyone know of some good programs or anywhere to get some???

[Pipipat]

[adrian480]

Congratulation

[eyedie]
