Some parts of it are too much for me, honesty, but some parts are incredible....

Not really my bag, but no doubting that the guy is an amazing player. The instrument sounds terrific, and he's definitely in command of it. Thanks for sharing this!

Not my bag, but the man's got a powerful muse and it is, after all, his bass. I'll stick to my practice of never doing any of the following three things:
  1. Mess with a man's woman
  2. Drink a man's last beer or smoke the last of his weed
  3. Pass judgement on his dreams

I'd like to hear it in the context of some music...

Seriously though, I love to see when folks take the instrument somewhere totally different - The only problem for me is, for whatever reason, it seems to always only hold my attention for a fleeting moment.

Whoo-Wee! You guys are a tough audience!
I'm an old Rock 'n Roller, and I play what I want to hear.
But for listening pleasure, I like something different.

The main reasons I thought this vid was appropriate are:
The Roscoe is the featured instrument.
The player is great.
The vid is unusually good for YouTube.

It's also great to see a bassist lead a band.
Anthony Crawford is doing the kind of thing
that attracts the attention of bassists.
And may inspire some to think,
"oh, man, I've gotta get a Roscoe."
Who knows, maybe he'll do for Roscoe,
what Victor Wooten did for Fodera...

Wait a minute...
that means it'll cost 4 times as much for a Roscoe!
Oh, no, what have I done!?

Peace,

Active

All three reasons are absolutely valid, and the goals were accomplished. I was sincere when I offered my thanks for sharing this with us.

I agree with Jerry. His playing is wonderful. The instrument sounds great. It's not my style of playing and I won't be trying to copy him but I enjoyed it.

Me neither. I've got my own bone to hone.

Yeah, beautiful.
I hope they keep putting this kind of stuff out.
These vids raise the bar on the usual YouTube music.

Now that second video speaks to me a bit more. Bruner Jr. is one bad, bad fellow. I was hoping for a bit more fire from the guitarist, but I dug what the rhythm section was doing behind him. Also would've been sweet to hear the Roscoe bare nekkid during the solo, but Crawford is a monster. Nonetheless, the star of the video, Bruner Jr., really does it for me. Chops for days, but he uses them very musically, and his pocket is as big as a house.
