electric bass [attempt] chromatic fantasy J.S. Bach

[rockandroll627]

how do u get that sound?

[ars9magna6opera]

great version mate, a little unclean at the start but what the hell its been 4 years , you probably play this with no sweat by now, got the tabs of this complete version by any chance¿

[Pharmakon7]

@ars9magna6opera You can find notation and tab in the Jaco Pastorius Bass Method book by Hal Leonard.

[bobulibobium]

your bass is my fantasy...

[addyr100]

[vergus45]

respect !!

vergus

[georgesorosisgay]

awesome!

[Changles]

This is awesome. Good tone too. Very punchy. What bass is that? It looks like a jaco tribute bass with a different neck on?

[ebkurd]

Good job! It's hard for me to memorize Bach.

[MuLdY85]

attempt! lol!! very modest! and good job!!

[roadtonever]

That's bad-ass!

[spasticteapot]

I really think you might be on to something with this, though it's a shame that your recording quality is so awful.

[tryx33]

Holy shitballs! Incredible playing. Mindblowing.

[weathered79]

thats it i quit because i know know matter how hard i try i will never be this awesome

[gnpahdc]

Here's another bassist with a post. Great job. Anyone who can play that many notes with zero fret buzz and such articulation deserves an award of some kind. Of course, playing this so well is its own reward. My practicing is moving from jazz lately into simple bass fugue runs from Bach, and dude, I'm taking it slowly. Again, great job. By the way, nice tone and clarity down on the low end.

[TwoYoub]

Wow, good job! Very impressive with super control. from another bassist. TG.

[jayven007]

DUUUUUUUUUDE it jason man you kick ass not to many Bass players like you rock on

[Dodkar]

I admire your stuff because I played the bass but try to speed it up !

[chopper3a]

nice !!

lots of works.

love your version !!

thanks to put your work on the web !!

[rabbitfish63]

Jaco has left his mark on all bass players!

[indigoblue555]

Respect !

[DonPMitchell]

Cool. Try to find Robert Fripp's guitar version.

[gonsotube]

By the way that's an incredible exercise to check the triads out. Bach only composed on a triad based harmony. Only the Vth grade is played with the 7th note. Musicians by then thought triads were more pure than cuatriads, the tensions were considered evil, so until Debussy, who introduced the tensions to classical music, the music had a special feeling, only triads on it, but a strong harmonic movement.

[UnemployedAndroid]

"Bach only composed on a triad based harmony" is incorrect actually. Baroque compositional practice was based on counterpoint - simultaneous melody essentially. There were 'rules' of voice-leading and acceptable consonances and dissonances, but it's very easy to find examples, especially in Bach, of many sonorities that would be considered 'out' by today's standards, including 'upper' intervals. 'Triadic' harmony and chord theory was initially advanced in the early 18th century.

[gonsotube]

That good old jbass sound! No additional effects used, like a nice good looking lady. You dig it?

[tornmask]

i-N-c-R-e-D-i-B-l-E ! ! ! . . . =0O

[fenerp1090]

Absolutely amazing.

Can I ask what settings you are using to get that tone?

It sounds great

[bioarsonist]

wow. very solid, 5/5

[solowbass]

Only a bass player can understand what it's like to play this a on 4 string instrument. Thanks for the lift!

[Ubernaut]

Incredible.

[dbleserman]

the day I can play this song in it's entirety on the bass is the day I will consider myself a good bassist.

[linkabombs]

im totaly with you

[ifbasscouldtalk]

awesome

[skateebee]

Well done!

[ronzococo]

dude that was just great!!! you have tabs or partitures? i really need if you have them, thank you!

[bentorrey]

yeah man!!! Nice!!!

[brewtronics]

great man...

really nice job

[PhuckHue]

you nailed it! the left hand positions are perfect. I tried playing this years ago and the practicing was taking up too much of my time

[dragonrider929]

really nice tone, it's a miracle these days for a bassist on youtube...

what's your set up?

[theremoteisfound]

(btw good job)

[theremoteisfound]

the spaces between the strings seem wider than a normal 4-string bass for some reason

[432hertz]

19mm at the bridge(center of one string to next) standard for old Jazz basses I believe.

[kizzandbye]

@theremoteisfound i think its just a visual effect. The camara lens

[z1chuckster]

I much prefer fingering to tapping or slapping ....It sounds less percussive , and a deeper tone as well

[FrozenSilence]

I was rather critical of how this would sound on a bass when I clicked on this, but I must say, this is quite impressive, and sounds very nice. Good work. =)

[royski9]

cool-by ear as well?

[432hertz]

I wish !

[mintyfreshnass]

wow i like the jaco style better than taping nice job brother

[Amazingripper]

Very cool! You just didn't do that Jaco version that I don't like as much as the original piece! And also continued the piece. Very good job man I'm still learning the thing :)

[ojebrown]

Excellent.

Where do you come from?

[Johnnyplayedguitar]

Damn thats a nice sounding bass! Keep up the nice playing!

[calvinlotz]

Watched the whole video... I dig it! I like your train of thought.

[alfmarius]

As a fellow bass player, all i have to say is; nice work:) I know u've put

[baxbobby]

[michaelhutchinson]

Good goiing 432hretz

Love Bach too!!

[bassotto89]

Cool!nice job!

[432hertz]

thanks kindly for feedback!This will always be a continuous work in progress for me.

[moomoocajoo]

about as sketchy as...i dunno, you're awesome.

[DaveGrossmanSoloBass]

Whoa, nice! I've worked on this piece here and there over the years. I never made it that far though. Nice job! Not to disparage the 4-string but you would be wicked on a 7-string.
