its a pretty cool little solo he's got goin. :)

very relaxing.

It'd be perfect with a tiny bit more high's. It's too muddy, but that could be the recording.

almost seems like a guitar player who is playing bass...

I could listen to that for hours,its great.I believe the tone is awesome too but the recording is bad,hey its a P bass,It can't sound bad!:p

ooo man i hate it when people say it sounds like a guitar player playing bass. if he's a bass player it doesn't matter what instrument he sounds like....he's still a bassist. i would hate for you to see a video of Stanley Clarke doing percussive things with his upright. you would probably say he sounds like a drummer playing bass and if you did a lot of people would just laugh. I'm a bitter dude today, and that bugged me a lot.

...calm down :) All i'm saying is that it sounds like guitar work on bass.. I'm not insulting him or anything, merely making an observation.

there's nothing wrong with what I said, it's completely valid. if you don't agree, that's fine, but to tell me that I'm not allowed to make that observation is a bit absurd.

i love it, s'got groove.

I though he had kind of an interesting thing going on but...

Man, either play to that click track or turn it off!

well the bass is a guitar....

Ahh these remarks make me laugh, like there it is trying to define the undefinable. I personally thought the guy was good, average, but good. The recording didn't do him any justice though

Cool solo, great groove. I like the guy's acoustic version of "Willow Weep For Me" too.

Groovy!

don't get me wrong here, i thought he was good.....

Hello folks. That's my video that your commenting on and I appreciate the compliments. I am a frequent talkbass user but I usually post on the double bass side.

I originally made this video just to show my friends my new American Series P-Bass. It was strung with flatwounds and I had the tone control rolled off, so that combined with the poor video quality (it was recorded with a basic digital camera) may account for the lack of highs. The bass sounded better in person of course, but I wound up selling it because I'm just not a P-Bass guy and I needed some bread to upgrade my amp rig.

The tune was written as a bass solo and this is actually an abbreviated version. The comment that it was very "guitar player" like is valid because I am employing a similar right hand technique as when I play classical guitar. I do play quite a bit of guitar but bass has always been my main axe.

I was puzzled at first by the click track comment because I did not use one. When I listened for it I could hear a faint clicking which must have been a watch or clock that was close to the camera. Funny how I never noticed it.

Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed my little bass solo. Now I'm inspired to write some more.
