Tabs?

Tabs?

[11010ironelephant]

what kind of bass are you using? Brand? some great fretless tone and i must find out.

[explo32wunderwaffe]

Is he playing with 2 or 3 fingers?

[Charliedethklok7]

@explo32wunderwaffe He uses 2 AND 3, he uses 3 when needed, like for 16th notes

[ThrasherGuitarist667]

Damn nice cover

[cbpunkheavymetal665]

Im not a bassist but i was wondering what difference no frets makes

[Tie4821]

Why always these death metal bands' titles are so strange?

[barszamotuly]

Obscura is not one of my favourite bands but... I fuckin` love (not being gay :D) watching you play their songs

[Aprch]

I've always wondered where you get the money to afford all of your 3243985734 basses.

[xixbodomxix]

@Aprch He's used 8(currently 3), he has them all list out on his page. if you want to see what they are. and most aren't terribly expensive

[AfterburnerDM]

Great work!

[nycbassist76]

i notice you don't have this bass anymore...why weren't you happy with it? I was thinking about picking up a brice 6 string frettless myself

[Woodbogger13]

add headbanging you have TYR from Emperor

[tylerwylie]

Hard to play in tune at such a pace.

[keurg]

Fucking good job man ! i love this song !

[payazokoki]

good stuff man, awesome playing! Can you please tell me how many basses has your mommy bought you already? Daddy must have a lot of money cuz you seem like a very spoiled little biatch! hahaahaha great playing though, keep it up!.

[sandrastaley]

@payazokoki jealous much? ahah

[payazokoki]

@sandrastaley actually FUCK YEAH!!!! jajajja

[YoDonViito]

I want this bass, but six strings are so expensive

[bree112233]

marry me. lol

[Iliketacos091]

Kudos on figuring this out by ear, but going that fast, there's no way anyone is going to get the intonation 100% perfect, and I noticed a few notes were definitely off. That being said, you did way better than I (and a good portion of bassists on youtube for that matter) could hope to do any time soon.

Also, what brand is that bass? I have a fretted that looks a lot like it. Same shape (body, headstock, etc), bubinga top, brass nut, and huge heel.

[caramon770]

@Iliketacos091 It appears to be an Ibanez, judging by the headstock. But I could be wrong.

[Iliketacos091]

@caramon770 No, I really doubt it's an Ibanez. First off, the only fretless Ibanez 6 string is the Ashula, which is actually a hybrid (Low B string to the D string are fretted, and the G and C strings are fretless) that looks nothing like this bass. Also, a LOT of brands have that headstock shape. The only bass headstock more common than that shape is the classic Fender P bass headstock. And the most common Ibanez headstock shape is the super small SR shape.

Thanks for the help though :D

[zacbrain]

@Iliketacos091 its a brice 6 string from rondomusic (google it) i have one, its good, and very affordable actually, i got mine for about 150 bones.

[thefacelesswish]

amazing dude!!!!

you get surpriseme!!

[BER2ERKER]

@Guinesso I'm pretty sure it's for tone, and obviously sliding is going to sound way better. I play guitar though I'm not

completely sure. I believe it's because of tone.

[luvlyluv]

i have your shirt!

[Guinnesso]

Is there an advantage to a fretless bass?

[MrKrabkrab]

красотка процт )

[djgpk]

lol



[guitardude4lyfe]

Whats the advantage of having a fretless bass? Is it easier or better sounding or something?

[TheKeyWestian]

@guitardude4lyfe Its an added skill level among others.

[tart9]

@guitardude4lyfe It's different sounding. Some people prefer the sound of fretless like some people prefer the sound of tube amps (It's a lot harder to play, though)

[MrMetallicious]

@tart9

It's not all that much harder. If you're playing a fretted bass correctly, then you're pretty much on the fret anyway.

[prenticeanyonywright]

@guitardude4lyfe listen to that mwahh, check out:"six string fretless bass sonata." on youtube

[robs70986987]

Awesome shirt

[epamibass]

Very greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaat!!!!!!!!!

[jacksonshredder91]

Seriously, are you in a band? Cause it just so happens that I am looking for a bass player for my tech death project. You can email me at jaasko91@yahoo.com.

[Loraluviel]

It's unfair :C

[CapiDice]

sdflajsdfkljaskjfa LOVE IT

[maggot4life1856]

This video made me go out and get a bass and start taking lessons

[alegrin1]

Paul Gray? ... no tengo idea de quien es?

[CapiDice]

@alegrin1 es el bajista de slipknot

[TheProvolot]

Ragazzi! che mito! complimenti...

[fearcross]

What bass? How much?

[superstriker00]

Holy fuck you play well.

[satyrludi]

What bass is this? I've never heard any better bass sound than this, by the way, awesome playing, dude. Please reply to this when you have time, I'm searching to buy something like this.

[matt420740]

@TTridata

WTF are you talking about?? This is no Ibanez.........

[TTridata]

@matt420740 Ups, you are right

[usedinpublic]

@satyrludi It's a Brice HXB-406 fretless, I had the fretted model and for the money you can't find better. Rondo music usually has them

[MrSeemby]

@satyrludi They cost about $350 to $400.

[Theshemproductions]

Classical/Jazz influence....

[xthecomingcurse]

Holy fuck. I wish I had this kind of time to practice. \m/

[PanzerTank521]

I hear buzzing. I think it's the pickups.

[MrSeemby]

I have the same bass with a different finish :P

[JustMetal64]

nice T-shirt :)

[Klasharx3x]

YOU SHOULD RE DONE THIS COVER WITH YOUR THUMB!!!

[fiddyfoosh]

I have that base except mine has 4 strings,

The only thing that beats vintage bases are rickabackers

[milezcarpetpython]

28 people are jelous of his gotee

[bass4312]

@Tokingreen420 Its a joke because its a fretless, so its either 0 (open note) or 1 (Press down on the single fret) haha.

[minusjason]

@bass4312 Joke still doesn't make sense to me... if it's fretless, it doesn't have a "single fret."

[bass4312]

@minusjason Aight.

[jamma246]

@minusjason True - if it had a single fret it would just make a single note wherever he pressed on the neck lol.

[ItsNotaTuhmah]

Overall nice, excepting when you go out of tune doing octaves and some higher notes.

[SpartanLaserCanon]

Thumbs up if fretless basses make any type of music sound old school even when a songs not

[slatan420]

@SpartanLaserCanon I think it sounds more spacey than oldschool.

The muted tone they have fits to space shit real well.

[myrkul777]

@SpartanLaserCanon But Obscura use a fretless... or is that your point?

[Blacksplayer]

" Cannibalistic Zombie "

What should I say.. Poor kids.

[Blacksplayer]

Metal is so funny... So cliché. x)

[shhme3]

slappin' da bass

[FrooTxLuPs]

Amazing, do a cover of a song named Impact by Pitbulls in the Nursery.

[lachygonzalez]

Nice Shirt!!! ;)

[CephalicZyklon]

is that all stock on that brice sir?

[Unhumanyouri]

excellent job!

[TerminusCOBHC]

I'm still waiting for this guy to post some video lessons.

[bassclefchef]

you display a ton of control and disciplined playing. well done

[ThoughtPatternss]

I have tabs. 1-111-1-0-00-1-1-1-1-1-11-1-1-­11

[skruvmaejsel]

@ThoughtPatternss interesting instrument whit one string and 111 frets

[ThoughtPatternss]

@skruvmaejsel Nope, it has one fret.

[TheGrimBassist]

@ThoughtPatternss The fret number 111 is mentioned in your tab though :/

[ThoughtPatternss]

@TheGrimBassist Sudden triplet maybe? :O

[TheGrimBassist]

@ThoughtPatternss :OOOOOO

[diegojosegonzalez]

@ThoughtPatternss for guys like you i love youtube XD

[evilkanival1423]

@ThoughtPatternss its a binary tab

[psychomange]

you're flat, stick to frets

[SmootheTank]

@psychomange Fuck no, Fretless makes it brutal!

[tuulenkoti]

haha ridiculously awesome !

[CthulhuRunes]

Just how...How can someone obtain skill and perfect it as such? This guy is so good that he actually (not directly) got me to quit bass for like 2 months...But I'm guessing practice makes perfect. I now realize this CannibalisticZombie guy is my inspiration. Thank you man!!!! :D

[gigabroly]

Need a Cynic or an Atheist cover !

[FoxEnyuron]

@gigabroly Hells yea!!

[SkollDrum]

the bass sound like Death bass !

[nounever]

The bass is sex.

[MetalliDeth1223]

cynic cover? please? for me?

[malaysianmetalhead]

perfection dude!!

[Bummeh01]

You're a beast man. Keep it up! :D

[RandyLeeSnyderJr]

I wanna grow up to be just like you!

[GWTSPEC7RE]

How much did that Bass cost?

[lordie611]

i got the same CC t-shirt as you ;p

[TauKotoni]

Could you send me the TABs please?

[Metaldiabolic]

@TauKotoni there is no tab. the base is fretless :O

[joevandal13]

@Metaldiabolic Smh. they still have fret markers.

[Metaldiabolic]

@joevandal13 not necessarily 

[TauKotoni]

@Metaldiabolic

I know dude, I was just trying to be funny, but didn't work this time. Great video by the way!



[mynameisfun1]

LOL

[MrMrFreddy]

It looks so easy compared to your cover of Cancrum Ortis... but it's very, VERY difficult D: and you play that so well, like always

[skull9111]

awesome man but man how do you learn fretless bass?

[syndrome666]

@skull9111 With lots of patience and first knowing the rule of a thumb for fretless being that the notes peak at where the fretline (aka the actual fret) would lie. Fretless does NOT work the same as fretted. You have to be careful where you place your fingers as the notes shift with the slightest shift of the finger positioning. Just keep your eyes peeled at the fret side dot markers and picture the in between lines as they would lie on a fretted. Or just get a lined fretless for ease of use.

[Nitemortis]

fucking awesome!!! horns up!!!



[SOAD525]

someone explain to me whats the purpose of one of theses?

[Defenderofeyre]

@SOAD525 it sound way different from fretted bass (:

[SOAD525]

@Defenderofeyre in what way? sorry ive never heard of this kind of bass

[FokasSk8er]

How can you play without frets?(Im a guitar player,I dont know much about bass)

[Defenderofeyre]

Svar på denne video ... 

[Defenderofeyre]

@FokasSk8er you just press the strings directly down on the fretboard, intonation is difficult, but sound production is easy enough because incredibly low access is easy to have while the good tone remains (funnily fretless basses dont get loads of fret buzz :b)

[FokasSk8er]

@Defenderofeyre Difficult huh?

[prenticeanyonywright]

don't replace Jereon, this guy is good, but not THAT good.

[yamanick92]

so why did you leave for pestilence?

[DamageIncM]

How do you play this?

Is it 0-0-0-0-0-0-0 or is it 0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0?

[TheFireInside9]

@DamageIncM what the shit?

[DamageIncM]

@TheFireInside9

No frets... Get it? XD

[TheFireInside9]

@DamageIncM ahh! :3

[SuperStevebarnes]

@DamageIncM You're wrong here..

[okamasphere]

I honestly think this guy would kill a female if he fingered her.

[bassguy1708]

You are a piece of a fucking skilled bassist, that's for sure.

If Hannes Grossmann, Steffen Kummerer or Christian Muenzner had seen this they would definetaly contact you.

[SpiritualHealing1349]

are these Brice basses any goood?

[51362879]

@SpiritualHealing1349 For no more than they cost, they're a great value.

[MrSeemby]

@SpiritualHealing1349 I hope so, I just ordered one XP

[REDRUMjohnny]

Skilled

[SlayerJes]

You must be the new Obscura's bassist

[reaver901]

[AustinxRodriguez]

Yeah dude you need come hit my bong and make it awesome

[Unrated48]

You just made me discover Obscura. This is an amazing day. Thanks. :D

[mquirk00]

Tight! I always thought this song could pass as a Death song. Sounds a bit different than the others on Cosmogenisis.

[chapapwnszombies]

are those flats or roundwounds?? im planning on buying a 6er off rondomusic ;D

[chapapwnszombies]

are those flats or roundwounds?? im planning on buying a 6er off rondomusic ;D

[TheGreatwhiteape]

[HarlequinFolk]

@TheGreatwhiteape Nope. Thats Brice bass, pretty cheap.

[FlamingAntelope667]

Small world we live in... Just checked this guy's channel and he lives 5 minutes away from me in the next city over!

[Neltheros]

[musicmaster555]

[TheGunrebel]

[SpMeKP]

That bass is a piece of art.

[cfiore88]

@SpMeKP I had the fretted version of this bass, but I sold it last month. Great bass for the money. You can buy 'em at RondoMusic.

[SpMeKP]

@cfiore88 Thanks for the info!

[yareshs]

@SpMeKP i agree. the funniest thing is that the price on ebay is just about 350 bucks, wich is pretty cheap!

[alpedistas1]

[sesspleftocore]

Maybe you should redo this cover with your Warwick :]

[shredibanez666]

[Ollieaxman]

@WrestlerMan235 This is the most hilarious thing I've read on Youtube all day, it's been a long day.

[JustinDunGoofed]

Thank you for introducing me to this sick fucking band.

[AlexMakesThings]

Very crisp. I like.

[Raconteur1990]

Anyone know how to get these nice brice basses in Germany/Europe? I have already a six string but these fretless babies seem very nice. Anyone know how the pickups of these are?

[websterx9]

@Raconteur1990 They are not bad if you have a low budget,You can buy them online or at a local music shop...I guess :D!

[Synequanon]

@Raconteur1990 I believe he has changed them for EMG :)

[ACowWithTetanus]

just wondering, how do you read/write tabs for fretless bass?

[RamenSlasha]

@ACowWithTetanus With notes/score. Like a violin/cello
