The guy is just sick no matter what genre he's playing.

God... he's just a beast. If I could choose to be one bassist it would probably be him.

The whole thing was an amazing performance by all parties involved but those tandem licks (especially the one at 2:51) were mindblowingly awesome!!!

I bought a Lakland DJ because of him. Is it a custom shop J that he's playing?

Demon_Hunter · #4 10-16-2010, 09:58 PM

Love that riff and slide at about :55

**crustychef** · #5 10-16-2010, 10:04 PM

Yeah, I wouldn't mind being able to play like him. Such a bad a$$. So much attack and visceral tone.

And now I shall go back to practicing some lame Cars covers for an up coming show. Sooooooo boring, but hey we are getting paid to play.

Anthbass · #6 10-16-2010, 10:30 PM

Yeah, he astounds me. I love how he approaches the instrument, and I dig how downright nasty he can sound. Boy brings the funk.

Great stuff, what a career he's having!

James Hart · #8 10-17-2010, 02:59 PM

one of the current greats!

and you'll probably make more than uriah did at that gig

behndy · #10 10-17-2010, 04:34 PM

yeah, i would NOT mind being able to have done what he has. there's a VERY impressive shifting of techniques going on in that vid too. neat.

what's weird is i caught the first show he played with the Thomas Pridgin project The Memorials at a smaller club in Berkeley. there was an amazing amount of talet, but i thought they didn't really play to Mr. Duffy's strengths.

but i'm a bass nerd. i rarely like listening to a band with 2 guitarists.

That is wild, truly a great player!

He made it himself, from parts, I believe.

Evanseveneleven · #12 10-17-2010, 05:41 PM

Saw him play with Whitesnake a couple of years ago, and even though he didn't get to do anything special, his class as a player was obvious. Someone I would definitely like to hear more from.

Thundar · #13 10-17-2010, 05:49 PM

He is amazing...blows my mind every time I see him play

bottomzone · #14 10-18-2010, 01:43 PM

Uriah is an amazingly versatile bassist!!!

A Groove is a Terrible Thing to Waste!

Geddyfleaharris · #15 10-18-2010, 03:18 PM

Well I just got an eye opener. I have rarely even heard the name Uriah Duffy before. Gotta love TB!

Eublet · #16 10-26-2010, 10:33 AM

Yeah, Duffy is a great player, and his popularity is on the rise. Well deserved IMO because he plays with a lot of emotion and feel. There's a certain rawness to his style that's hard to describe. He's incredibly technical such that he can seemingly pull off just about anything, but his style is not so polished that it sounds lifeless or boring. One of my favorites, and now that he's officially separated from Whitesnake, I hope we'll get to see much more of him in various settings.

Jamie_Funk · #17 10-26-2010, 11:00 AM

This will sound cliche'....but it is true IMO - he is the total package

**crustychef** · #18 10-26-2010, 11:57 AM

Well he has his own band that has a CD in the works and he played on "The Memorials" debut album that is coming out next month. Looking forward to those. I'd love to see him live. He never seems to make it up to Seattle though.

marmadaddy · #19 10-26-2010, 12:51 PM

There goes the afternoon on YouTube watching everything with him in it.

How have I never heard of this guy?

Same here, sort of. I've always loved the DJ's, but was never a fan of white basses (or LPB for that matter). Since those are predominantly the two colors most DJ's are, I finally settled on the white simply because they just looked completely cool when he played them, along with Bassida.

Now I love white basses.
