Would love to get critiques of this bass solo (Video)- coming out of 10 year bass retirement

[rkforum]

Hello fellow bass players

I played hundreds of gig from early 90's to 2001 but retired from bass playing.

Recently I was coaxed into doing a gig at my company picnic. I played the following bass solo (re-recorded the next day since the camera at the company function did not pick up the solo):

Since it was the first time I had played in nearly a decade I decided to have a little fun.

I'd love to hear from other bass players what they thought of my playing after a 9 year period of no playing. Criticism is welcome. Thanks in advance!

You didn't retire - you were just resting.

Welome back to the low end - Love your Rik.

"Wow! I didn't know a bass guitar could make these sounds. I always thought it was just really low, deep notes that kind of played in the background behind the guitars."



I thought the bass playing sounded good, especially if you've not played for 9 years...
