Bass Sounds 

you know? that bass made my mouth water.... jeez but he had some pretty tones going through with all of those basses... talk about bass porn!

I know! Bass perfection, right there. Then I looked at the price. Welp, I guess I can eat beans for the foreseeable future.

***** HAHAHA so true!

You're right holy shit

I ama buy it.

+Dojix Same!

+Dojix ikr

+Dojix Agreed. It really is very deep.

+Dojix 1:28-1:47 Did you notice that it's also the fifth bass he plays in the video?

its the sexiest thing ive ever heard

right??

me too man, me too

no wonder why they cost 5 grand, those basses are top tier in terms of materials and craftsmanship

That scene's great. But I though Cellos were GDAE just like violins and violas.

No it CGDA LOL

Daniel Weston LOL, that makes it even worst, too far from a bass turned around.

Viola and Cello are CGDA

Ah, School of Rock.

OffsetSolid carefully he’s a hero

the note at 5:12 is a C, a major third below an average bass's low E

@Timur Gavrilov no, it is the Toby chennelle arco bass.

@@ts4gv Thanks !!!!!

OffsetSolid we all came here for the cello that’s was on his lap 😂

It sure does, even with the subwoofer on.

I had a deep five for a while, did not know what a gem it is...

the yamaha bb300 with the bassmute is puzzling to me, with all of the exotic basses he's playing. I have 6 so far and a twist bass...tobias growler with whammy bar.....but a bb300?? Im getting it and a bass mute!!

Would love to have this backing track available!

What are you, a " trust fund " baby?

Bart is way off skilled

Same...

Cameron Guarino it reminds me Jaco Pastorius

maybe its just me but... does it sound with a little slow attack?

Pedro Henrique fuck yeah man. I'm reminiscing about dolphin dance, it's my favourite jazz piece.

same

それな　クラシックって感じが

Evan J that's what I've always thought was amazing about all of Leo's basses - every model has its own distinct sound and personality, yet all of them are useable in almost every musical context. More or less, any one of his basses can be used for anything, given the right settings and EQ, and that's something to be said from an engineering standpoint. The man was a genius

Absolutely. The technicality and feel combined. So well delivered.

I can tell you're british

are you related to a victor?

says the Wooten man himself lads and gents

Daniel Bartleson I know right? It's so special

I have an RB-5F. The fretless is wonderful. Especially with Thomastic AcoustiCore strings which I didn’t like at first, kinda rubberbandy with the nylon cores but they growl so when you dig in. I now have them on my Tacoma ThunderChief fretless 5 as well. Very woody sounding.

All his basses are wonderful. But that rob allen made me drool.

1:27 to save someone having to scroll :)

Or he just played all of the basses in some buncha guys' studio.

Then the studio guy must be fucking rich.

Studio guys are rich.

hahaha

He could be mini rich if he sold some of these.

5 years later, still in love with that video

+ChidoriSnake I really want the fodera emperor, at the moment I have a fretless squier jazz bass and a stingray/fleabass and for my next gig i can use a yamaha p/j

dude, I just got one this year after saving up since i was 5 (I'm 20 in a few days) and it was the best purchase I've ever made. II put a toaster pickup in mine. but if you ever get the chance try one. make sure you play one first though. it feels like you're playing a baseball bat because the neck is so thick. but I absolutely love mine. highly recommend one.

Fuck off you didn't even know how to play bass at 5, let alone what a Rickenbacker was. Lying ass.

MuscleDad420 don't care, dude. Believe what you will. I know my story, I was there. You can believe whatever you want. Doesn't bug me.

I believe you're a compulsive liar. I don't believe you own a Rickenbacker. I believe you own samurai swords and are a bronie.

That's what I was thinking

That was my first bass. Well, a copy.

Hello there! Those are DR Lo-riders roundwounds.

Bart Soeters Dear Bart. I own a '76 pbass. Can you tell me what chain you've used to obtain such a fat beautiful pbass sound?:)

Hello Bartoz, Fender P-Bass direct signal mixed with mic (I've to check with the engineer which one) in front of Glockenklang! Kind regards, Bart

roundwound DR

Thanks Bart. It seems i should try a Glockenklang:)

Stгคzzเyค B๏ςђภ๏ש IV very good question you sir

i knowww man! and most of his basses are not very common to find 😂

He's locked away in a madman's bass guitar collection museum and forced to play bass in exchange for food and water.

hahahaha

Pretty sure he makes music and teaches at a university for a living if you look at his website

flying lotus is jazz-inspired

+Herman Pouderoyen Dank Herman! Wederzijds!

Thanks! It has a Hipshot D (C)-tuner.

yeah they make Hipshots for uprights now. and Hipshot sells the piece you add to an extender to give it two options. that is, instead of dropping from E to D only, you might drop down as low as C... idk how much control the user has over the range and don't have much experience with extenders. I just use my ear and turn the key. but I would be interested in running 4 Hipshots with those pieces and rigging up my own sort of manring style hyperbass. anyone know whether that would be feasible? also, did you only happen to use the extender? sent couldn't you just have tuned down? I can't remember if a type of octobass was in the video and can't consult the notes on the video while writing this comment, but on the bass we're talking about, what's the original range and the tuning the Hipshot allows?

can he play that upright?

Bro I totally heard of C-Extensions. But this is not a regular upright sizewise (although you can play it upright which is why I love it) and an extension is obviously not visible when he plays the Chennell at around 01:20. That is why I asked the question which was answered quite a while ago by Bart himself (Hipshot extender in the tuning machine). The upright Hipshot Xtenders work really well, the main problem with them is actually the strings themselves and the fine tuning until the drop interval is clean - if I remember correctly steel strings are better because they don't lengthen as much as synthetics.

You need to understand the context of these chords not just tab. If you just want to copy the notes he's playing you can listen and look.

Andrew Teller In actual upright sizes this would be maybe a 1/8th, probably less

3/4 is the standard size, and that was closer to being a cello or a 1/16 bass.

No way he's playing a 1/2 size like that. It's at least 1/8

TechnoMonkey you dont know if hes a giant or not soooooo
