Sign in to disble this ad
I'd like to make a thread of the most amazing bass playing you've seen on a 4-string with 21 frets or less.
Also, we all know Jaco and Jamerson were incredible. I'd like to see some vids of other folks that are less than a house-hold name.
(This is NOT knock on multi-string basses or instruments with more frets - I love those too. I'd just like to see examples of bassists working creatively within more constraints.  )
I'll kick this off with a couple of my favs: YouTube - ‪Vulfpeck YouTube - ‪thumpR - "Nail In The Coffin"‬‏
Can't wait to see more!

Can't wait to see more! | Great groove, doesn't over play and carries rythm and melody nicely.

Jeff Berlin is such a smokin' player.
I picked up a Yiorgas Fanakas album off of iTunes recently, "Maestro". That guy is no joke. I relented from posting a youtube clip with him because the quality isn't that great, so check him out on iTunes if you haven't heard that album.
I played a few 5 strings this past weekend, I've never been anti-5 string but since I went back to playing 4 string almost exclusively in 2009, I've been less and less impressed with the B string on any 5 string. They just never seem to have the same attack and fundamental as the rest of the strings. Quote:

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Sierra Vista, AZ | | Well I got a youtube subscription update this morning, that plus a little downtime at work means I had some time to catch a few new vidz... Dario Deidda on Fender Coronado bass and as usual, he's amazing. Marco Panascia mentioned a little over a year ago that this was Dario Deidda's new favorite bass but I'm just starting to see more videos with him playing it. Johan Hansen Larson. JHL (who showed up here) is flat out killin' it on a new set that his band played recently. Here's one with a nice latin feel and a bass solo. Nice comping bringing the band back in, nice scat solo by the singer as well. Richard Bona on fretless...an oldy but goody...I love this version of Bright Sized Life (Live) |

| | | | All of John Enwtistle's recorded stuff up to and including Who's Next was done on a 21 fret Fender (or Rickenbacher for some of the Sings My Generation album). He's not underrated, but Won't Get Fooled Again and Live at Leeds being played on 21 frets is pretty awesome. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
