i love 6 string basses, that's basically the only kind of bass i like(not saying there's anything wrong with other ones), i could kick myself in the ass for selling mine :(
@rct3gamer44 i agree (this is my other account) it is basically 6 strings when u get to 7 or more it starts not looking like a bass anymore its like a different instrument. so it does look ridiculous
What do you think about doing a bass vs bass battle on here? you post, and then I post and we see which one the viewers like the most. Do you accept? Send me a message.
wow...i mean wow...watched all yur vids cause i cant stop lol...i love the way you match the harmonics in with the bass to give it an almost multi-instrumental sound..keep it up bro...woot 4 the bass
I love that ESP. You are doing a great job of bridging the gap between what role the bass is typically thought to play. I am aspiring to do the same. People like Marcus Miller and Flea showed it was more than possible. Excellent Excellent job (I know I said it twice cuz once wasn't enough). Do you have any recommendations for bands where the bassist plays a lead position (like Marcus Miller)?
Depends on what music you like. I personally am a rock/metal kind of guy. Bands like Muse, Dream theater, Red hot chili peppers, and Tool all have great bassists.
Thanx for your kind words, it really means a lot :)
same bass as mine......put through boss-bass overdrive/bass synth pedals at the same time......MONSTA!!! nice natural tone and playing here although you're playing like a guitarist would/interesting mixed style-that little run around at 1:30 is my favourite bit......cheeky little riff.....
realy realy good but cmon through some distortion and samsh some heavy stuff out! u obviously hav the skill. wel i guess its just a matter of taste, but regardless ur realy good
It is def good to know how to use your bass as a melodic instrument not just for rhythm. A lot of people believe that the bass can not be used as a solo instrument, WRONG
y do peps say this is ard u just gotta kno th basics then practise and u will be good at it in no time thats wat i did wif the keyboard and my acoustic guitar and it is wat i am gunna do whenmy bass guitar comes in!!!
Your brother is far past the average talent of his age. It sure does seem like bass is his passion, and he should defiantly stick with it because he will can be very successful.
If he hasn't already heard of the band tell him to go look up: Explosions in the sky.
I think he would really enjoy playing in a band like that.
because if we dont stay in one spot then we will not know what is a bass guitar or new players will be confused...they will say like, Do i must buy a 4,5 or 6 string bass???And then they will be screwed up!
if you actually need/want more notes then you may need to use a 6 string. i mean fuck why would you be against any kind of instrument just because its not the standard of the instruments? its fucking ignorant. and no not all basses have 4, 5, or 6 strings. a washtub bass has one string. Les Claypool invented a one stringed bass that you slap with a stick and bend a lever at the top to get a different note. i guess if you want to be a bassist you cant go past the 5th fret. OWNED FUCKFACE.
.... but you dont need to move your hand as much to cover a wider range and if you know your chromatic scale that extra string of notes isnt all that bad noob
a) Put in some work and learn beyond the fifth fret
b) The bass goes higher than usual? What are you? Some stuffy old Englishman? Who gives a damn. No one wrote down a book of rules for music saying this is how it should be and played.
c) Its very easy to learn the different notes on a bass.
Don't let you're opinion get in the way. I used to think the same thing... but then, i got into dream theater. Now, i need one. I can't do any covers of them yet! I think it's more fun to play anyway, because there's so many more notes to play.
i dont know much about bass sounds and all that shit, but this is good imo. Awsome to tell it like it is, i dont understand why he only got 4 1/2 in rating
A bass can be for anything, Slap, keeping a rhythm, making beautiful melodic music, anything.
It's like saying that guitar is only able to shred those high notes when it's easy as hell to just tune it down and get some mega-chunk out of it, y'know?
umm...tone and pitch...basses aren't as high pitched as a guitar...plus, the two are tuned differently. from the chords he's playing here...it seems as though that bass is tuned to all 4ths...Where a guitar is tuned to 4 4ths, a 3rd, then one 4th.
Sometimes I "hear" a melody in my head, and try to play it, but most of the stuff I come up with are melodies I "accidentally" come up with as a result of just jamming. If you play for hours, you´re bound to stumble accross a nice melody sooner or later :) Thanx for commenting /Victor
The fretboard is wider. It makes it tricky to play some lower strings up the neck, but I've noticed the player in this video holds his left thumb much differently than I do, so that probably helps
