@Chao7h

How do you have your 9 string tuned? F# - Bb? How much do you use the bottom string?

I'm thinking about getting an 8 string made you see and i'm trying to decide whether to just go for a 9 or how to tune it (for the pickups and nut you see i'd rather get them right first time!) And you use your 9 string beautifully!

[Chao7H]

@AttitudeCastle Yo Yo Wotup... Indeed... tuning is 'regular' Fsharp to Bb... all fourths all the way. I don't use the bottom string that often, I end up hitting it 4 or 5 times in a full hour of set. Thanks for the nice words and, make sure to get a bass your comfortable playing. If you see the use for the extra string, go for it.

You're probably the first person i've seen using a 9 string to actually enhance a song, rather than just showing off. Bravo sir.

[Chao7H]

@Kalopsia666 That's the best compliment ever... thanks much. That was the purpose to be honest. Using technique for the sake of music and not for the sake of technique.

[Chao7H]

Hey, Thank you all so much for the nice WORDS (yeah, I had to do it) but this video is really just about my hair...

So yeah, I might have another one coming. This is only a first, I will for sure put a couple more out either from UneXpecT's material or instructional shit... Requests and Ideas are welcome.

Love

You know what dude? You fucking own. Its nice to see other guys out in the real world with chops. Your lines are well thought out and focused, and work with the music. I cant wait to get my 9, i play GTBD 7's by Conklin.

Ever work on any classical counterpoint?

[nightfox92metal]

Choath man you have got to be one of the best bass players going man. I hope to one day have a bass player for my band (when ever I get it started lol) to even be a fraction as good as you are man. unexpect rules biatch lmao

WoW

[Vamp1ro101]

Damn dude, you are amazing bass player and I have to admit that UneXpect is already one of my favourite bands even tho I heard of it for the first time just about a month ago. Keep up the good work! ^^

[Axiome3]

Super video. J'espère qui en aura de plus! Personnellement, j'aimerais tellement voir Unsolved Ideas Of A Distorted Guest!

[SixStringMental]

You're a genius on the bass, and because of that, you're my favourite bassist. You guys blew me away in Toronto. Nice job on the newest album! Please inform us when UneXpecT is back in town. Thank you!

@RapistOfOrgy No, it's a Bee Bass

[RapistOfOrgy]

Is that Conklin?

[AttitudeCastle]

@phunkymonk131 If you move everything played above the high C down an octave I think it would just about be playable though you'd be inverting some of the chords and it would sound wierd but could be cool! I think the majority of this is playable on a 6 string, though the intro-y bit would probably be at least a 7 to sound similar BUT doable on a 6

[phunkymonk131]

hey Chaoth, what do you think is the minimum number of strings needed to play this? Dou you think it would be possible to arrange it for a six string in standard tuning with some parts down an octave? or are you hitting the high strings too often?
