Gev Delano (new title)

[truand85]

And the big question; would I go and see a Black Sabbath tribute band when all the members are 12 and under?

Well if bats are involved I'm in.... Nevermind

 

[Iristone]

I think some nice PRS models are made over there, too.
They used to say similar things about China... Then came Classic Vibe, and DTC.

 

[Fonkamex]

Many Asian instruments are great value. From Japan, Korea, China, Vietnam, Indonesia and maybe more. They’re working hard.
On a side note, Brazilians De Oliveira look awesome too.

 

[Joebone]

Haha, that kid is a trip I dont know what's better, that groove or the faces...

Yes - clearly a young master of BassFace!

 

[Joebone]

These kids seem to play so slowly even on the faster licks look pretty relaxed. There is a similar comment about the Australian rally/raid motorcyclist Toby Price made by one of his team during his early days racing enduro and the Finke Classic, "his bike is so still and he is so still it looked like he was going slower than everyone else". Very high levels of talent seem to almost defy logic.

Black Sabbath? The real question is how some seriously talented musicians relate differently to space and time than the rest of we mere mortals. Two drummers come to mind, both of whom I've seen live. Robertinho da Silva with Milton Nascimento - his arms hover over the drums, and suddenly drop and lay down some seriously wicked stuff - it looks like he's suspended in gelatin while the sticks fall, but the time precision and groove are uncanny. Case two - Brian Blade with Wayne Shorter - so relaxed, and yet so frickin' impactful and precise - it was like a form of dance, yet deeply responsive to the musical moment, rather than choreographed. Have also talked to race car drivers about perception of space and time while doing high speed - it's a whole different way of being...and the young bassist rockin' this out is clearly inhabiting that space!

For the record, and for this fogey who doesn't much get out, who is the artist and original bassist on this play-along track?

 

[GreyBeard]

He is not only a player but an entertainer as well. His playing is outstanding but he is just as much fun to watch play as it is to listen.

What Ampslut said!

My ESP LTD B-414SM (Made in Indonesia) is as nice to play as any of my G&L or Fender basses...maybe a bit nicer. The neck just feels right. Too bad they quit making them.

 

[Stempelloos]

Talented guitar players, rockbands and musicians from Indonesia are no surprise to me.
The first rockbands in the Netherlands were from Indonesian descent.
Most of them had a good act with the music too.

My company supplies components to the Indonesian guitar outfits who subcontract for the big names.

They are using for the most part high quality parts spec'd in by the OEM.

 

[scuzzy]

You can tell the kid actually loves the song, not just the bass part. Great playing and groove!

 

[ChrisBowsman]

I have an Indonesian Yamaha bass, and one of the Ibanez Paul Gilbert guitars (the reverse Iceman). The Yamaha is a budget model, and the Ibanez has premium hardware and electronics. They’re both excellent.

 

[higain617]

The kid in the original video is the reincarnation of Bernard Edwards.

 

[Spirit of Ox]

This thread got somewhat botched. Was it originally about Indonesian basses and now about Gev Delano? Not sure what the correlation is.

According to Wikipedia ...

No one played on this. They recorded Dua Lipa and another girl for backing vocal and the rest was done by the composer using midi

Good; when they tour it then they know where to find a bass player!

They have toured it and used a very real bass player.
