That song is awesome, I can't seem to find it anywhere though. If I search for "glide pleasure" I get some really weird, NSFW results.....

I thought his sound was bad, then I downloaded the original recording, and his sound is almost identical. The kid does a nice job with it, but boy do I hate that sound! Too bright and plinky. I can't believe I used to have a similar sound.

+1

his tone is too harsh for me. funny though.

I kind of dig that sound. His tone is absolutely spot-on. His feel is too, though the notes he's playing are not.. It still serves the purpose cause its funky
Anyways thought you guys would like that

I'm not being sarcastic but the tone of the Bass in the video clip sounds a lot different than the tone of the original song.

a tone that I can differentiate in my sleep.

Here's the original(Glide by Pleasure).

Well of course it is...Glide recorded in a studio, and this kid recorded with a video camera. But it;s not that far off.

JimmyM · #11 04-07-2007, 09:02 PM

Whoops...I meant Glide WAS recorded in a studio.

Definitely different tones but he's not far off. His sound is harsh because it being overdriven on his video recording. Sounds like he had fresh strings on his bass too hence the brightness. I did this Glide intro section some years ago. Not as bright (old strings). One day I'll record the verse section! One of these days!

The tone is close enough for not being done in a studio, but properly applied compression and some mid-range frequency scooping would bring it that much closer.

Hi Mark,

Thanks! I used to love the Bros. Johnson when I was younger (and still do!). I was suprised to see a picture of Louis playing a Gibson Grabber.

I bookmarked louisjohnson.info, but still need to go back and read some more.
