moonlight Sonata Bass ( Basslab STD 9 )

[mazdaman14]

@Thunderthumb where did you buy that bass ? i would like to buy one too

[HuhnK0t]

no problem on 4 strings tho

[dubber2001]

Very good bro. One of my favorite pieces. Would you try Fur Elise?

[Thunderthumb]

@dubber2001

Thanks a lot, i will ;)

[andreking84]

just have to ask one thing how do you even tune something like this,btw im diggin the tone it sounds really great

[Thunderthumb]

@andreking84

Thanks a lot :) I tune it at the bridge. It is easy to tune

[Haartian]

Hey, well played mate!

[Thunderthumb]

@Haartian

Hey man, Thanks a lot ;)

[buda329]

That not a bass!!! It's a weapon of Mass Destruction!!!

[thefaithcommitment]

yo, good job, can I have the tabs please???

Thank you very much

[Thunderthumb]

@thefaithcommitment

Hey there....don't know why your post is spam, but i can. Send me a PN with your email ;)

[Thunderthumb]

@Thunderthumb PM

[vikingmetaliscool]

Dude that is a sick looking bass

[AaR0n16]

sounds like guitar pro



[Thunderthumb]

@AaR0n16

No, it is not, but the sounds are poor, yes....it wasn't made for youtube, one of the 2 versions i will upload will have a much better backing track ;)

[gibbsies]

why would u name something STD?

[Thunderthumb]

@gibbsies

Cause Basslab named it like that, and STD means " Standart " to me and most of the other people internationally ;)

[coloredCYANIDE]

nice job man! I'd love to try a bass like that one day.

[PhilippRsN]

Holy shit, that was epic o_O

[Thunderthumb]

@PhilippRsN

Thanks man ;)

[mrshred65]

that was fuckin sick

[Thunderthumb]

@mrshred65

Oh yeah, it is ;)

[Kinjutsuu]

lol it's been 3 years and still no full version : /

[Thunderthumb]

@Kinjutsuu

i have a preview since today online

[RebelAngel4321]

Funny how the pickups are going out of the body.

[Thunderthumb]

@RebelAngel4321

Yeah, but they are a great thumb rest ;)

[LoKo4028]

ehre is the full version??

[Thunderthumb]

@LoKo4028

I'm practicing it, it is very hard to make as i wish to make it, ready soon. I'm at around 80% now

[Orangemongoose1]

What's the tuning on this bad boy?

[Thunderthumb]

@Orangemongoose1

B-E-A-D-G-C-F-Bb-Eb - that is the tuning

[cdmolenaar]

You're a kick ass player, don't get me wrong that was awesome, but I'm not a fan of your tone at all.

[Thunderthumb]

@cdmolenaar

Hi man, thanks for your comment. I don't get you wrong, i'm always happy if someone gives me critics like that. I don't like it that much either, but i had to find a sound that really brings out the high notes, and this is the most balanced i found out, yet. :)

[cdmolenaar]

@Thunderthumb I know what you mean, it's hard to create a good, evenly-voiced tone. You did a good job finding a balance, as in the high notes are clear and the bass notes aren't muddy/drowned out, but I think it's still a little too plucky for my taste.

[Thunderthumb]

@cdmolenaar

Yeah, it also is a matter of taste. Some write they like it, some don't like it :) As you said, i just tried to find the most balanced tone. It is a very metallic and very direct sounds, hi mids are pretty up ;)

[tony57286]

Sweet...

[Thunderthumb]

@tony57286

thanks a lot ;)

[tony57286]

@Thunderthumb Hey Bro. Your bass tone looks like fender Jazz Bass.

[Thunderthumb]

@tony57286

Hey man, it is a little too metallic for a fender sound, but it is close, yeah ;)

[tony57286]

@Thunderthumb You can play with Jordan Rudess, It's so cool play bro.

[Thunderthumb]

@tony57286

Thanks bro, i hope one day i will ;)

[Brittow]

This is the first act..

[Thunderthumb]

@Brittow

Thanks, didn't even notice the mistake, i fixed it. Thanks again

[kalmahman48]

what kind of bass is that?

[willass89]

That is fukin outstanding.....just fukin great.....its not the whole tune.....but it fukin rocks...what I heared of it....

[YeahIWrestledaBear]

obviously there aren't enough enough strings on that bass

[caramelskater]

What a magical and sexy instrument

[MrShagification]

Wouldn't it make more sense to use a piano/keyboard?

[TheVictorTBR]

where did u find that bass? 

[Thunderthumb]

@TheVictorTBR

You mean, where i got that from?

[TheVictorTBR]

@Thunderthumb yea cuz ive been looking for a new bass

[micalishis]

It looks like a harp or something because it has so many strings.

[CoryZamparelli]

This bass looks like something off of bleach -___-

[93thrasher]

this is cool, although wheres the rest of it? And why add a backing track when youre already playing both hands' parts? unless you actually plan on doing something exciting with it

[Thunderthumb]

@93thrasher

I said it a lot of times, because this was imply a test for me to record audio over video, and to put in some midi sounds of cubase......this was simply a test, the full version, that i practice now, won't have a backing track.... ;)

cheers and thanks for the comment :)

[InfamousMaximus]

@Thunderthumb Silly how people don't understand it just by listening?

[ucaroy]

I honestly thought those were a child's hands at first. Then I realized how enormous that guitar is lol. The mind assumes too much!

[spcforty55]

That would suck royally to restring that beastly bass!!!

[Thunderthumb]

@spcforty55 

That is so damn true.......;)

[TheBanderson22]

how could someone dislike this..

[Thunderthumb]

@TheBanderson22

Most people like it, i'm more happy with that, actually somebody here really hated it, but that is ok :)

[tengokunoshi]

@TheBanderson22 it's too fast that's why it has dislikes

[Thunderthumb]

@tengokunoshi

and too much in time :)

[JEDIMASTERZAK]

the point at which guitar is no longer cool is when it gains 5 inches in fretboard width XD

[TheFaceSoap]

This video is lovely oh my god.

[Thunderthumb]

@TheFaceSoap

Thanks a lot ;)

[tengokunoshi]

why so fast!!!??? >:@

[Thunderthumb]

@tengokunoshi

'cause i can do it ;) ...........no seriously, i just programmed a metronome and played over it.....this video wasn't made for youtube, as i said in my welcome video, i was just paling around....i'll do a new version

[TheFISHPUCK]

HAHAHAHAHA the video has STD in it

[siegfriedkantus]

Nice job man!!!!! Greetings from México.

[blackwolfkodi]

pure awesome...nuff said

[haurlame]

very impressive but can you play twinkle twinkle little star?

[trammell2004]

That's really cool!

[floydforest]

Nice bass and excellent skills. They compliment eaach other quite nicely and for that I compliment you. Hats off fellow bass player.

[TheChaninnator]

Nice plank...

[buddythedog12345]

very good.

[usahamer]

good job

[Jaypee319]

DAT BASS

[Level80irl]

how do you know how to play this

[Thunderthumb]

@Level80irl

By Piano Notes and Piano Players

[11nephilim]

I was thinking to myself 'sweet I'll go learn this' then looked at the number o strings :/ balls, need a new bass

[TTGSynysterGFX]

So....is the neck just pure Bark?

[po0pzmcgee]

ha std 9

[grayfoxx11]

Resident Evil. 

[TheXAtreyuX]

@grayfoxx11 beethoven ...and earthworm jim u prick

[grayfoxx11]

@TheXAtreyuX  Resident evil over earthworm jim anyway

[blllaaaaaaaa]

Would be better if there was no piano.

[snowboardingfreak94]

didnt know you could put strings on a surfboard

[elcompafaby11]

How can you Play that thing :yuno:

[TaKENoTeezzzGaming]

How do you buy strings for that monster?

[TheEstudiopaiva]

incrivel!

[willmalauch]

now play the third movement :D!!



[immortalperser]

That was good but where is the rest? I was actually enjoying it...

[SilentEarthxx826]

why anyone would need anything past 5 or maybe 6 strings for bass is beyond me, but this is spiffy.

[gibsondanny]

@SilentEarthxx826 people get basses with that many strings, to do stuff like this... is a tone that you dont get with a regular guitar... and a larger range of notes than a regular bass

[STEVENPARKFELIX]

PIANO BASS AAHHHHHH!!!

[IAMinDreams]

no that bass is cool, but war guitars are cooler

[seth3556r]

Dude, just get a 12 string chapman stick. l:^[

[sservetus]

i know right the huge bass section

[xlph]

I believe this bass would qualify as a final fantasy weapon

[lambinoe]

lol

[Thunderthumb]

@xlph Pretty good Idea ;)

[bonetrainmusic]

nice...but Stu Hamm did it 25 years ago.

[jigsawonfire]

VANILLA!!!!!!!!!!!

[Olle00]

Dear santa...

[ThrasherPunk666]

resident evil! >.>

[penguinseth]

this is sweet man

[musicman91900]

this is pretty cool, but it kinda looses the soft legato of the original piano. Verry verry cool though

[lilfili123]

TAPA DA BASS MAN

[panterask8r14]

Much respect for this guy and his interest in bass; I love playing bass as much as the next guy but damn, I seriously would've gotten a car or something with the kind of money those things must cost.

[MrRock0ut]

Damn, I miss a Stu Hamm bass solo behind it.

[christopherr101291]

good job bam F**k the haters like to watch them do it!!

[revolutionday1]

I just want the neighbor next door to bust in and yell "SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!"

[RioDeVick]

this is simply amazing!!!! ...hm its not bass its tap (bass) guitar

[Gibson400SG]

Why the fuck am i watching this? ;d

[kir423rus]

Awesome playing but the guitar is ugly

[Sm1udntknw]

@themadbassplayer13 happens to me all the time. almost daily.

[rabitman700]

that things a bass and a guitar

[tjm12462]

Stu Hamm did this in 89.

[themadbassplayer13]

dont you just hate when you look something up and u find yourself looking at videos in a strange part of youtube

[timmotjo17]

@themadbassplayer13 Happens a lot. I don't know what's up with that.

[horusoftheblackflame]

What's the tuning on that?!!?

[Phergan]

I can't play this! Better dislike.

[FallinPiano]

This song makes me want to sleep... It's so beautiful :)

[madcheshire77]

totally awesome! thank you!

[kossuthman]

and then i took an arrow to the knee

[18Massam]

Why Not just Get a Piano?

[Kyussfan96]

@18Massam because he didn't want no piano fool!

[voj110]

Good cover, but IMO moonlight sonata suks...

[thedaywerevolt]

That was fucking awesome!!!

[Shadowcontheoriginal]

Just wish it was a little bit slower. Optimus takes a while to warm up. Afterall he is a diesel.

[fuhugwagads]

BOSS.

[MrBretowsky]

Awful interpretation of the music. Cool bass though.

[elrondsch]

Thats not act2(what does it mean anyway? you dont have acts in sonatas). Its just the first part of the sonata.

[jene7007]

That's the most retarded instrument I've every seen. Go sell it.

[MrGuitars69]

you people !!!!!! merry christmas love the vid

[ifilmandotherstuff]

I'm speechless. 

[joeremy24]

oh thats a bass :/

[SammyBeniuga]

you must be chuck norris to play that.Seriously!

[TheMetroidGamer]

@SammyBeniuga you know what, this crazy guy is my teacher ;)

[DietGrape]

i hate when people say 8 or whatever string basses are useless inventions when there's all this creative shit you could do.

[MalhallaH8Z]

Very cool. Great job on the fingering. That shit has to take so much time to do. I play guitar but I don't tap like that. Awesome job.

[TehRandomnessS]

Lets see a bar chord.

[Selinor578]

@TehRandomnessS you'd wanna be E.T. to achieve a bar chord on that instrument

[TehRandomnessS]

@Selinor578 xD

[lrlpercy]

awesome. just wished it had gone all the way to the end but ah well.

[Mejrm]

dammmn....



[MultiTechnicss]

prends donc une guitare tant qu'à faire !!! c'est loin d'etre le son d'une basse

[hallobadee]

excellent

[Gabysoficial]

Now try adding dynamics

[naccachea]

what's that thing above your neck?

[fapelequeseyepuss]

you should seriously aim for playing this with no terrible midi backups... and make it sound pretty instead of monotonous

[thomasverduyckt]

So perfect!!!

[phunkybiotch]

Apparently I have arrived at the unusually large bass section of youtube.

[OdieTheNoob]

@phunkybiotch Weird or Awesome section?

[phunkybiotch]

@OdieTheNoob I think its both.

[OdieTheNoob]

@phunkybiotch Nice!

[nemo227]

@phunkybiotch Your good fortune, I guess.

[LaissezFasser]

Aaaaaand.... what's the difference between that... and a piano? ._.

[jak9990]

@LaissezFasser whats the difference between a duck.........??? -_-

[STIYE101]

@LaissezFasser this is like a piano moved down an octave or 2

[masterseven95]

i want to see you all haters play like him

[amandiepandie]

OH MY GOD IS THAT A--wait. its just his chin.

[tandlaguilera420]

@amandiepandie  You made me piss myself!! :D

[Croner2323]

this just seems like a huge waste of time to put all the effort into a) Learning the bass b) Learning to tap c) learning to play this song.... when it sounds like crap ... i dont hate the bass i love bass it makes songs good but this sounds like a cell-phone

[cloud6060]

@Croner2323 It sounded like a bass to me and to a lot of other people. Learn to actually listen to the music before you hate.

[HomeWreckerA1]

this isn't even half the song, u suck

try learning the whole song before you put perfection into it

[leokillsy0mamma]

@HomeWreckerA1 dude really??? you play that shit, before you say that somebody sucks at what they're doing, you do it and prove us all wrong you scumbag

[Beatlesfan5295]

so this is the guy who taught Geddy Lee!!!!!!

[3Y3ECE]

amazing hammer on.  I gotta get that sorted out...

[laiholapso]

optimus prime phoned he wants his dick back

[orionblack]

@laiholapso LAWL!!!
