What a cool mix of styles and instrumentation this is! It is what music SHOULD be at its very soul - inspired and joyful. I love when people make use of instruments that we all are familiar with, but give them new life by using them in unusual ways to create something as fresh as this. Bravo Martin!
Okay well as good as this sounds it appears to be instrumentaly incorrect. I guess just another one of those things that we music enthusiasts and musicians have to get use to. Maybe alter the instrument and call it a baritone guitar? I think it is what it is actually. First time I've seen/heard it so I'm thinkin as I comment.
Hi,I have a question about this bass,cuz i'm going to buy it soon,how does it feels to play it?is there something bad about it?i tried some electro-acoustic bases in our local shops,but i was not satisfied with string high - too high,and you can't make them lower(not about sound,btw,sorry for my english,i live in Latvija) unpleasant feeling and not comfortable playing,please reply if you have time to,thx
@m2804 The AEB-10 is a great bass. I felt the same way until i picked one up, i walked out of the store the next day with it in my hand. It plays very well and has a nice full, balanced sound.
I knew it since your first video I saw:"Cello Bass Sonata". Many people is obsessed with speed and your version of that song has "the soul". Now, this video confirm my opinion about you: You are a real musician with the intuition and musicianship to make us "feel" the music. You are my inspiration. I just started bass 1 year ago. Of course, In my dreams I play like you!!!
Just wanted to thank you for showing the world what can be done with the electric bass. Your playing and your musicianship is superb. I own the same bass you are playing hear and you set the bar very high. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you so much for sharing a wonderful gift... I happened on to this and I am glad... Your playing has lifted me up to challenge what may come today... thanks
I love this piece and I keep coming back to it. It makes me do the kind of finger exercises that I really need to do a lot more of. Great to practice with (but I wish I had Martin's long fingers!) I think I need the CD now..
exeletn master, i like the way you play the electric bass, i wish you the best in the world, and cuold you say to me witch marc you use in electric bass?? thanks and godbye
When someone when can play a flamenco guitar part like that, it's extremely impressive. When someone can play it on bass, it's ridiculously awesome. Thank you for this.
nie playing through and through, but ist sounds like a flamenco guitar, and you never seemed to play a note too low for a flamenco guitar. So you would do much easier playing it using a guitar, but nice done though
You are missing the point. Many horn parts would be "easier" played on keyboards. Sure this could be played on a normal guitar. But it would be barely impressive. If you want to get the point. Buy Martin's record and listen to him play Paul Gilbert's part on the Racer X song "King of the Monsters".
Bravo!

Really good! I was surprised that you didn't play a single note that couldn't have been done on a guitar. (This was the bass part, right?)

If you're going to play an "acoustic bass" you mightes well just learn upright =).
Great playing though man.
darkshadyfigure 3 years ago
i agree dude, but the upright just doesn't have the right sound for this... you need frets and a pickup system
