Having a Fodera when you're in college is perfectly fine. I mean, why is it that when a kid gets a Fodera in college, it seems like a gigantic luxury. But if he can play, why not? This kid is amazing. But yet, when rich kids drive fancy sports cars that their parents buy for them, they're "cool".

@taufoofar Thanks, but just for the record, when I started Berklee I already had the Fodera. Before Berklee I had a degree in Graphic Design, which enabled me to get a good paying job and save up the money to buy the Fodera, which I got used. I'm also much older than I look and definitely not rich!

Give the kid a break he's dong a nice musical solo, its not about being better than some one just play music, good on the him for playing the changes and conecting them well.

nice bass by the way.

doo dee doo da dey, you are great, but your solo sounds very sticky any way you can make it flow more? Not dissin' you, you're technique and knowledge is clearly awesome, far more than mine, but it's just it sounds constipated. Bass player laxatives anyone

@blakebranchbass Hey man!nice playing. How much does a semester cost right now at Berklee?

[awfulguitarplucker]

@blakebranchbass but theres more...while its clear that its not the instrument that makes the musician, if the musician WORTHS the instrument he/she plays,and ultimately bought the instrument with HIS/HER OWN BILLS, then..wheres the problem?

To all the haters...! You can't play a riff this kid is doing...! You can't play worth shit period!!! You can't even play with your dick!!!! So shut up and learn!!

To the musicians in this video, GREAT JOB!!!! Keep it up! Now, you can delete this comment if you want!! Had to say my peace about the jealous assholes commenting about what they know nothing about!
