  • Awesome Bro!

  • Which amp is being used here? Also any pedals?

  • 2:05. Improv or crazy horse by Black Label Society?? Awesome bass.

  • Comment removed

  • great playing! that 5 strings is definetly heavier than the 4 strings , right?

  • Killer groove at the end.

  • loving the slap bass. adds major funk to any bass line

  • Would like to see some more slap bass videos mate :)

  • Hammer smashed face! Hahaha nice.

  • never seen anyone use a kerchief to mute their strings, pretty sweet idea if you ask me lol badass as usual sir

  • Great bass. You should be proud of you, you have a big and beautiful troll. Not all people can say that!

  • Hey, nice video and bass, what do you think of stringing it EADGC instead of BEADG? To get the higher regester to octave-double some guitar parts.

  • Hi. Saturday I have got one too. It's really impressive how a Squier sounds so great for a cheap price. This Vintage Modified is really cool!

  • Does the pickups have

    any kind of hum ?

  • HERES A TIP: TRY TO PULL THE STRING UPWARDS RATHER THAN HITTING ONTO THE FRET.

  • I did a review of this bass on my channel. I own it and love it. It's on of my favorite "AXE's!"

  • Awesome video man! Where you from? I'm in Shropshire :)

    I've been looking at either getting one of these or the Squier Active Deluxe V. Whats the spacing between the pickguard and the strings like? I sometimes find it hard to get your finger under there when playing slap.

  • fukin epic bro!

  • Hey mate nice bass ! Just a question aren't the strings to close to the pickups ? It sounds like a super low action to me but I don't much about 5-strings bass ^^ anyway great playing !

  • woww ben you play bass awesome as well got to say it looks awesome !! cal  !!

  • Ben i think ur awesome m8 and so is chappers the only thing jealousy gets you is across the floor in a tango lol

  • Yes! The Bogeyman By The Maestro, Yngwie J. Malmsteen. At 2:05 WIN!

  • ...nice, benny ! LES (germany)

  • Hey Benni Im looking at a other bass how this compared to say a Ibanez SR or BC Rich thanks

  • you look like shaggy from scooby doo now you've grown a beard =D

  • a lot to say but fuck all worth listening to!

  • @outtacastatv

    Lets see you do better you twat!

  • @outtacastatv

    Haha wow what a speech mate!

    Would have taken it into consideration if it weren't for the fact that you know shit all about music! How sad are you? Going on random peoples videos writing complete crap with none of your own!

    You need to grow up mate and find something better to do with your time!

  • @benwilshire benni, i wouldn't do that if i was you, that guy just used 3 commas on you. that's right. 3. holy shit man you're screwed. :/

  • @outtacastatv seriosly why are you such a wanker ben is amazing such a legend and he is fucking amazing at bass and electric guitar dude common

  • @outtacastatv Speed is another aspect of musical proficiency and expression. Feel otherwise? Ask someone like George Benson, Les Paul, Al Di Meola, Charlie Parker, Django Reinhardt, John McLaughlin, Wes Montgomery, Louis Armstrong, Lester Young, Bach, Nicolo Paganini, Beethoven, Mozart, and countless thousands of other fantastic musicians throughout history who set the standards for feel. Put some though into it next time you decide to insult another musician for petty reasons.

  • @outtacastatv

    Yo shut up mate! Why the fuck do you think the techniques used in this video were invented? To be used. Metal, rock and even some forms of blues are built on things using speed, just because it's faster than 10 bpm doesn't mean it has no feeling!

    Good luck on getting somewhere in life with an attitude commonly associated with inanimate objects!

  • @outtacastatv Nice try dude, but not even close.

    The point you musical elitists miss is that speed doesn't take away from expression. It's just a different way to express in music. If it's not to your liking then it's not to your liking, but that doesn't mean it's not to my liking.

    For example, you can play chord progressions to express an emotion, but you could also play the same chords in scale shapes during a solo. You will get the same feeling using the same notes, just a different vibe.

  • @outtacastatv cunt like chappers? hahaha! you obviously havent watched any of ben or robs videos...

  • @outtacastatv faggot,you probably cant even play a flute so you go bashing people.sad faggot!

  • @outtacastatv number 1 he has soul.number 2 i dont give a shit what people play on guitar even if its souless i play what i want to play ,and it should be about doing what you want to do and im sure ben does. number 3.. fuck off you dont even put up your own videos playing guitar their just you rambling on about shit and finally look at your 3 subscribers then look at bens and chappers and go back to wanking over yourself. (keep going ben love your vids lml)

  • @outtacastatv dude leave him alone it takes an unbelievable amount of time and skill to do what he does

  • @outtacastatv To be honest you can have soul and speed it knowing when to use it. As I bassist and guitarist myself learn in time when to be more soulful and when I need to use technique with jamming with people playing in bands eg. Also Technique leads to being more creative and if you have a passion for music, the soulfulness will shine though

  • @outtacastatv Don't talk shit about Chappers man, that guy can play with feeling and i am sure Benni can also.

  • nice goutee (Y)

  • HAMMER SMASHED FACEEE!

  • if i could play malmsteen id be content; if all i could do was play slap bass id be even happier.

  • Cannibal Corpse :D Nice playing and cool bass!

  • @12ganes34

    What song is it?

  • @shadowknight132 Hammer Smashed Face

  • nitro finish ?

  • @superiansuper mexi fenders dont even have nitro's mate.

    dont expect squiers to have em :P

  • holy fuck amazing playing

  • Loving your make-shift capo! ahah

  • @JosephODonnellMusic

    It's actually just to mute unwanted string noise. That's usually done with tapping only phrases. You don't want other strings ringing out since you can't really control(mute) them because you're using both hands.

  • @dahudge14 Ahhh, cool :)

  • slap that pig!

  • what amp you using ben?

  • Nice Benni! Your uploads are great! Charles.

  • COOOL! slap that bitch
