I know his antics irritate some, but the talent is there. The bass looks like a Hadrien Feraud Ken Smith. Here is an instrumental too.
Shata ka ka Dr Cheese . He is so funny. I picked up on "The Walk" yesterday and liked it a lot. I hadn't heard him sing before... certainly not his strong suit. But personality??? Wow. I could live with a few less antics, but he is a showman, for sure.
The 'antics' are on his bass reviews (of which I have watched many) The vocal in the first clip, is too dry... needs a touch of reverb or delay. A fan of Johnny.
I have always liked Johnny. He genuinely loves bass and basses. I have seen him kiss a head-stock and I know exactly how he feels.
You kidding? Johnny Long rules.... Yeah sometimes his videos can kind of drag, but he seems like a really good man and IMO a great player... L
He's a funky player with a positive spirit and a serious love for bass and performing. Hard not to like that.
