A great random YouTube bassist...

That was great. The solo was beautiful. Lovely tone too.

This is, sadly, where my knowledge of the Bass lets me down and I feel it. It doesn't normally bother me much, I just play and enjoy it. But I hear something like that and I don't know where to start to go about getting a tone like that or even the scales used.

So hearing it made my heart swell but left me feeling sad...

The trouble is that I think about it too much, I need to trust my fingers and feelings. I've just put my Bass down after messing about until I did get a similar tone that I liked and while I don't know what scale I was messing about with, I got the notes I wanted.

I can't afford lessons and theory doesn't seem to stick. But I only play on my own so it's not the end of the world.

Nice :)

KinBollock. It doesn't matter that you can't play the things he plays. What matters is that you tried and you took something away from it, its now sat in your subconscious library of bass :). You've just been influenced.

I'm couldn't care less about the solo bits, I prefer the groove underneath it. It just secreates coooollllness

the bass line itself is very nicely understated and modest and moves beautifully

For the tone he did say in his comments that he has an aguilar pre in it, its a good start for you!
