Stingray5 Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 ...It's actually not too much of a slap-fest, either! Quote
AndyTravis Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 (edited) Takes three minutes to get interesting, and i still don't care. Have i missed something? The slap section is rough too. The guy is playing a lefty Stingray, Strung like an upside-down righty...hmm. Still don't care. *i don't personally get it, as a 'demo'* Edited September 4, 2010 by AndyTravis Quote

patch006 Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 I'm sure this guy is normally a good bassist but that was pretty terrible! Quote
witterth Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 MMmmmm... I suppose so gentlemen, but if you were to have to say what a stingray "sounds like" thats pretty typical. isn't it? hence that "demo" I suppose.....errr..yeah, I'm right Quote
stingrayPete1977 Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 Thats not the best way of showing it though is it,Do I need to post the Louis Johnson clip again!? Quote

Some people assume if they don't like something then it must be rubbish. Quote
stingrayPete1977 Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 Its not the playing so much as the cheesy crap music behind it Quote
Chris2112 Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 Urgh, "bass noodling" at its worst. I love a good youtube bedroom slap fest like the rest of us, but this really struck me as aimless and uninspired. The recording was pretty poor and doesn't show off the MM well, as it sounds hollow and lifeless. I didn't enjoy that. Quote
thisnameistaken Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 It sounds like his timing is well off. Quote

stingrayPete1977 Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 And also watch some of DKmarlowes clips that come up around it, he is always good! Quote
swanbrook Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 He can play that is for sure, however far too many notes for my taste but I would bet at a gig he never plays like that. Quote

Chris2112 Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 (edited) I just keep thinking of roasted peanuts when I hear of these roasted necks! Of the roasting Sterling Ball has gotten over them! Edited September 4, 2010 by Chris2112 Quote
AndyTravis Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 I think i was a bit harsh last night, nice bottle of white sharpens the tongue - I try not to be a negative whingebox. I reckon i was just a bit underwhelmed by this chap, considering he's obviously a 'name' player doing demonstrations. Maybe i should change careers. Anyhow, fair f***s to him, i'd love his job. I want my neck Roasting, but it won't go in my oven. Quote
Vibrating G String Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 It's probably just the bass he's playing Here's the same tune with a different bass. I think he sounds a bit more inspired and funky here. Quote
swanbrook Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 Wow night and day ! This cat can play. Still not my cup of tea but there is no doubt he has skill Quote
