[janussaint]

[MusicBeSweetYo]

noo I really dont prefer it this fast, but when someone is this good you gotta respect their style and take it for what it is

[Pedringarcialopez]

Precioasa!!

[derangedyoshi]

can't say I like it, although his performance is impressive.

[zimmwarrior]

@derangedyoshi will only admit with you if you show me anyone on youtube who can play this better on bass as this man does ;)

[zimmwarrior]

[xFesx]

[Shizaku911]

[AZUREkiteMAN]

[claudioaguayo]

jajja y quien dijo que era capo para el bass.. este si es maestro

[i2cool4thisplanet]

gorgeus!!!!!!!XD

[StyxDubstepGamer]

Look at those fingers go o- o good job indeed

[capsomere]

There is something about a suit and bare feet that just looks right! Thank you sir, I may just have to get my bass out of storage after seeing this.

[Nostradamus81]

Can't hear enough of this.... a bit (much) faster version that i can play with a diff. that i start from G (3rd fret) o E string (got jazz bass with 20 frets).

Btw. wich bass is this?

[96Fidel96]

‎1) Easy

2) Medium

3) Hard

4) Expert

5) Insane

6) Chuck Norris

7) Jacques Bono

[BlastDrummer13300]

@96Fidel96 yeees :D

[melcochaize]

beautiful

[squiresuzuki]

awesome. way better than that 6-string Martin Motnik guy. personally i hate basses with more than 4 strings....

[turquoisecow]

This is awesome. The tempo is faster than I'm used to, but it just highlights the amazing skill that obviously went into this.

[taichifist]

No shoes and playing Bass...Awesome! :^D

[lachique100]

WTF ca c'est la classe qui tue !!!! BRAVO Mr . Bono =)

[tomwilliams1983]

epic



[ToddsGen]

every good bass player plays with no shoes

[96Fidel96]

@ToddsGen Obviously

[julianorgazmic]

dude 102 people are a nit confused in life

[gazzafunk]

fretless would have been good but the sound of the Status is awesome

[ThePowerOfMusic1995]

very good job ! =)

[vbrasil45]

Thank you You tube.:-)

[MyGustav0]

[MrLucgauthier]

@meerkat305 looks comfortable

[halimilah]

Oh my god,,,,i love this..the way he played,,face expression,,the tone,,fingering was like WOW,,i dont think any of us can cover/play exactly the same like him even if its the same bass...lastly i dont know what the hell there are 100 dislike bout this video...i guess they think they are better than this guy.

[DeadlyBlues]

Wow that's amazing!!!! But he should have gone fretless!!

[AttitudeCastle]

Very Impressive, and great tone, though i'd tweak it a bit for my preference! And this is so FAST the orginal as significantly slower when played on cello... but this is an electric bass! haha

[bassist4dalord]

Wow. That's all I can day..

[JasonStonee]

92 people are deaf?1

[Adamfulgence]

This guy is simply amazing!! Fantastic!

[igorsherman1]

xato

[conos1985]

anyone knows what bass is this?

[angwx]

@conos1985 Status Bass (: I think its a S2 not too sure

[nehpestthefirst]

All I can say is this: as of right now, 87 people have admitted to completely lacking musical taste.

[MonarcaGris]

just 4 strings

[embiamemucho]

@MonarcaGris that's thhe way all basses should be

[MrGuitarassassin]

I know this might be a stupid question, but do you have tabs for this, and what tuning is your bass in? Sorry, this is my favorite version of my favorite song ever. Music is what feelings sound like.

[FlyingAero]

@MrGuitarassassin Standard tuning starting at the 12th fret of the E string

[johhny501st]

@MrGuitarassassin

let me know if you find anything, id like the same info

[OldWeaponsRCool]

@Lucyfervlog Actually the full name for a cello is "violincello"

[PetromyzonMarinus]

@OldWeaponsRCool

No, the full name for a cello is "violoncello", as Lucyfervlog wrote.

[shikamarucool]

and i thought i knew what being good at bass was

[AzaDio]

This is a piece written by J.S. Bach for Cello... Not a huge gap of differences in instrument's here. For example, I would have no choice but to give kudos had it be performed on a Ukulele.. I feel the performer is extremely talented.. yet the work was sloppy? Perhaps I am too critical?

[bilmure666]

@AzaDio You should just view this video for what it is, fantastic.. It wasn't sloppy, he's playing with his fingers, not a bow, of course it will sound different ! This is not an easy thing! It was GREAT !

[peteandurnot]

@AzaDio - The Bass (including Upright Bass) and Cello are tuned differently to each other, so I would give it big kudos to performing it properly on a Bass.

[headlessLLAMA]

wow

[Lonewolf161616]

I dont look at my hands sometimes... but not all the time?!?

[irmasil3]

Best performance of the piece ever.....

[ProphetOdeth]

amazing

[joeyg629]

NO SHOES AND KICKS ASS!

[MaxNoname]

OMG *_* :O that´s awesome

[meissie44]

yeah, that's what we mean by playing bass. Jacques Bono you rock!

[musicmaster555]

Now that's how you play a mother fucking bass!!!

[jacquesbono]

@ridgebackdk

H I its a Status Limited Edition from 1996

Rob Green made 100 basses of this kind

Best wishes Jacques Bono

[ickerolig]

Lol, he did it barefoot!!!!!!!

[xBaZeRx]

If the tempo were a little bit slower it would be excellent! Awesome video.

[lusteraliaszero]

@xBaZeRx he plays it excellently even if a little fast though.

[garryc300]

this is a status bass

[XXXXkams75XXXX]

what is the brand of the bass please ? Quelle est la marque de la basse svp ?

[drg92asturias]

@XXXXkams75XXXX I think it's a Status bass, but i'm not sure about the model

[XXXXkams75XXXX]

what the brand of the bass please ? Quelle est la marque de la basse svp ?

[XXXXkams75XXXX]

what the brand of his bass please ?

[taylorcrawford94]

this can only be played on a status

[tdag100]

really great articulation especially for the tempo its being played at great job

[AnnieGrace001]

I have to learn this for my music a level recital :/ im quite scared now.

[RyanakaRhino18]

wooow dis dude is awesome :D

[feelthelove32]

Where are your shoes! :D haha just messin, amazing pure amazement LIKE!

[tal3nt707]

learning it =D but i'll never be that fast :o

[MSumodobila]

must admit that he knows his fretboard but this piece should be play much slower.  Actually. A LOT slower. I like it though. =) Bach's stuff always sound good on stringed instruments.

[imperatorklaus]

@MSumodobila

why slower? The original cello version is not much slower than that

[JupiterAdept]

@MSumodobila Rostropovich and Casals take it at about this tempo. It does sound a bit faster when plucked, though.

[aynjel0via]

arthritis

arthritis!

ARTHRITIS ALERT!!!!

lol good job

[RsD1968]

Great perfomance !

[AaronBassProject]

What string are you using..pressurewound?

[M0G0S]

I'm impressed...

[reanimator9]

maybe too fast ? great technic anyway

[danielchrissafinis]

@reanimator9 I always found that this piece can be played at almost every speed. Although it gets happier when played faster and more sad and melancholic when played slower.

[kukucross]

freakin goooooood maaaaaann :D

[BuscemibTb]

ho...ly....shit :o

[binga150]

This is so awsome!!!

[tcupp90]

Why aren't there more views on this?

[COUGHmcCOUGH]

I've played this before, it's not too hard. I put my bass in cello tuning -1 octave and played it that way. It's pretty fun once you get going really fast.

[lampgb]

Awesome.

[LectorTeam]

All perfect,but still need shoes.

[atennies94]

@LectorTeam Shoes are overrated.

[bobillub]

That is VERY amazing. It lacks fluidity though. It's all played as though it's been rehearsed 5 billion times (which let's face it. It has to be for even the best musicians) but all I could see from it was making sure to remember exactly where your fingers were to go next. I'm not knocking it BY FAR! It's awesome work. I just like the fluidity of music better than a seamless production.

[lusteraliaszero]

@bobillub i kinda disagree, i think this is played very fluidly.

[SimpleFox]

@bobillub Wait... wanting to play the right notes is bad? So I shouldn't watch where I place my fingers?

[Rolco64]

Now YOU are one cool musician! Beautiful! You made my day-blessings!

[lusteraliaszero]

Anyone got some semi decent tabs?

[DjStaircase17]

Damn. I can play this on bass as well not as amazing as you! Im stunned, just amazed. Great job man

[Okkam07]

cool



[hellborn90]

I guess you hear that often, but any chance to get tabs for this one? Awesome piece awesome played :)

Greets

[CerebrateHyatt]

That was so awesome. An' no shoes to boot!

[nattyb3]

@CerebrateHyatt cool pun :P

[emmanuelanaly]

master...!!!



[thezach222]

I totally had an eargasm....I think it was the barefeet that put me over the edge.

[francescaemc2]

Superbe. Un peu vite, mas c'est superbe.

[LuZeR411]

Your my hero!

[velaeagle]

fast but beatiful jacqes oh and put some shoes on ha :)

[patan1117]

good!!!

[snowie113]

wow, well played dude

[bassentence]

[Bentonias]

Beautiful!

[shad0w12346]

OH MY LOOORD

[B347l35]

[Theshiggityshwa]

@B347l35 Practicing.

[gravew0lf]

MIND BLOWING

[NameuhUser]

Super son, fluide, outch les doigts ! Bravo monsieur !

[malicant123]

simply amazing. 

[aleonorium]

your version is the most PERFECT!

[camjerlams]

wow cool sounds like you're in standard tuning, did you change the key to suit or were you able to keep it same key?? its just i tuned my bass to cello tuning for it i found the positions a little awkward, thankyou for sharing it sounds beautiful!

[halfbloodboi]

i like this version better than the actual cello version

[nightshadetheexorcis]

ive been playing cello for 12 years come september and i still cant play this song flawlessly through. no to mention that fast

[onixtheone]

hey what bass guitar is that

[gokufase100]

Oo sell me your fingers mann

[drummerdudex017]

well, MAN, i wish our bassist could do that...bravo

[The54th]

Mmmm I need new strings....

[tryx33]

Amazing playing. True Virtuoso!!!

[tacetviola]

I actually really like this!

[simobof]

WOW fantastico!!!!!!

[TheFuzzynose]

That was the single most emotional version of this song I've heard on a bass. I love it!!!

[sternenjaeger]

fantastic - want to hear more

[SebytheStarfish]

no shoes? :DD

[GerardMulder62]

Beautiful mooi van bach

[alandalman]

Beautiful, and I'm extremely pleased to see it done on the 4-string. Awesome performance!

[pupp745]

Magnificent and inspiring. Thank you

[lessimpson77]

quelqu'un pourrais le faire plus lentement histoire que je trouve les doigtés que je dois mettre sur ma basse je suis en première année et je n'y arrive pas même pas à trouver la première note...

[idri07]

EPIC

[erniez75]

Tecnically very good.Many people use six string bass for Prelude.Using four string for BWV1007is most interesting and difficult.

[ollip71]

Only one word: Wow!

[IronHorse4642]

Great playing and the tone is excellent; superb definition and not too much rumble as so many bassists usually think that since their instrument is the bass they should set the equalizer like this: bass: 10 mids: 0 treble: 0

[69amadeus]

great!

[xmccormick]

ok, so you took the prelude, and sped it up? wow, extremely impressive. i highly applaud you for your talent and dedication to your art. if only more musicians these day were as talented.

[aislanbass]

parabens ficou exelente! Fica com DEUS..

[aariehoofd]

great! i play this on cello, but now i am going to give it a try at bass:)

[ikloopop]

i really love your video :S!

I'm 13!

[Jojodog11]

what kind of bass is that

[farrar91]

Diggin the suit with the wicked bass haha awesome playing

[emmanuelanaly]

you are my idol!!! xD

[micagas]

Its fantastic to watch your left hand technic. and the independence of the fingers (sorry about my english)

SUPERB!

[CringeCrimson]

Superb! Really precise fingering and great tone for the piece.

[555matho]

outstanding

[jellynellyelly]

OH MY GOD, amazing! you have talent!!!!

[555matho]

wow just wow im presive

[TheWolfBearProject]

thts beautiful, one of the best renditions iv ever heard of that peice.

[MindSweep43]

Wonderful!! I personally think the tempo is fine. It is quite admirable to be able to play this as cleanly and as accurately as you did at this tempo. Bravo!

[alavo16]

What an awe inspiring performance. I play the bass myself but not as masterfully as this.

[JulietBrown48]

What a performance - fantastic..

[bonoretaa]

la toca muy rapido -.-

[ogar75]

wow this is just so musicly correct, so magical, so awesome! :D

[Protector777]

nice play, but for me, your version its too fast

[caglionez]

Wow! You are the Rostropovich of the bass!

[caglionez]

Wow! You are the Rostropovich of the bass!

[halwrio]

Great!!!!

[axeldor]

I like this piece, but I really think that you play it too fast, loosing part of the emotions.... anyway, I wish I had your hadns.

[jcpag]

Super !! mais si je peux me permettre c'est un peu métronomique....

[NTXC8ING]

the best part of all is that he is barefoot... Oh yeah, and the bass playing
