ThomBassmonkey Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Anything that shows people playing bass goes! One of my faves, this guy's an awesome bassist and he holds some serious groove even through the fast sections: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zqV2ymf4-k"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zqV2ymf4-k[/url] Worst, this "lesson" from "Expert Village" (sorry, had to both both those in quotes). In the guy's defense, watching the other videos shows he's more of a pianist, but it doesn't change the fact that this has been put up on youtube by a supposed expert: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_A7F_FibYMg&feature=channel"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_A7F_FibYMg...feature=channel[/url] Quote
Ou7shined Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Fave. There are a myriad of bad AC/DC bass covers out there but this one takes the biscuit. I love how he's so laid back and confident that he doesn't even have to look. I couldn't find any Brian Fox for some reason. Quote

[/quote] Its weird , I listened to the Manring thing last night and for me its actually one of the worst things I've ever heard from a professional player , I think I lasted about 1 1/2 mins before I stopped it. Not trying to start an argument about how good/ bad Manring is its your opinion and your entitled to it just amuses me how one thing can mean the complete opposite to other people. Quote
wombatboter Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Euhmmmm...it's a parody It's a Dutch bassplayer who has already "changed" vids by Mark King and Victor Wooten..great shreds (and to be able to make a parody you have to first master it..) This is the bassplayer himself, have watched this vid a lot...sounds great imo [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-IfsSWV4Os&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-IfsSWV4Os...der&list=UL[/url] Quote
tredders Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Whilst I'm not usually a fan of solo bass stuff, I've always thought this one's quite cool: - Quote
3V17C Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 haha... that Highway to Hell is just soooooo bad!!! Quote
Oscar South Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) I've always enjoyed this solo piece: A lot of great melodies and textures in there. Edited January 7, 2011 by Oscar South Quote

Chest Rockwell Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) youse guys and your widdly widdly stuff. i feel like some kind of hobgoblin oik that should never touch a bass, but then just cos Sinatra and Pavarotti rocked the heights, didnt mean James Hetfield couldnt bring something to the table. All that stuff is very impressive and clever, but when does it stop being a BASS and start becoming a piano or a violin or... Have a look at my bass world...
