I know you have a great new passion with photography and seeing you so happy makes me feel so good. I recently picked up a blue, headless bass to resemble the one in this very video. You were the first bass player that made me say to myself "I need to play like that" and I poured over classical music pieces to find my own voice, feel, and signature sound while paying respect to what you've done for me. You're the reason I learned how to tap before slapping and popping I don't expect for you to look at comments of old videos, but you've just done so much for me as a musician. You're still my biggest inspiration and I love looking at these old videos to remind me why I love playing so much when I'm feeling down. Keep up the photography. Keep up the joy. You've certainly done it for me
Well said, Cygnus' parts were my absolute favorite part of NeO. I miss him dearly, and he's been a massive inspiration in my own playing. Such a unique voice on the bass!
My favorite bass line by far. My wife told me about your departure from the band amd we were both down about it. Your passion amd playing were our favorite part of Obliviscaris and I even met you in San antonio. I'll forever be a fan of yours
I sincerely wish all bands with intricate basslines like this had the bass mixed this prominent for it to be fully appreciated in all its glory. Well played, Cygnus. \../
I saw you at Rockstadt Extreme fest Indoors in Brasov, Romania, 10 meters next to the band. I am also a bass player, but definetly of this skill, trying to learn the last part of the song, which is incredible. I was actually stunned seeing your live performance live, considering the complexity and length of the songs. I was so happy that day that it was the first time in my life that i bursted into tears at a concert, and I saw Megadeth, Motorhead and many more :) It baffles me also unnoticed this video is...
This song is a defining example of the whole playthrough concept. See that stuff you do at 8:54 onwards is why I enjoy these videos. Similar to the drum playthroughs, it exposes the complexities of NeO song making. Makes me appreciate you guys as musicians even more! Thank you so much (y'all) for making these types of vids!
I just can't see how they'll ever replace you on bass. I'm not sure how much I'm actually looking forward to the new album knowing that you won't be playing bass on it :/
one of my favourite bass players i got to know in the recent years, impressive playing and musicianship. i hope there wil be more coming from you, in whatever form :)
OMG yes!! This makes me so happy. You really inspire me a lot and it is always amazing to hear you play. I am glad for the new upload. Usually I never comment but I just had to, because I really appreciate it.
just came back from your fucking epic show in Sydney just now! you fucking rocked my socks off! am honoured to have watched a genuine group of virtuosos playing together with ungodly skill. See you guys next time!
Okey, I'm a little late to the party, but how do you get that tone? I am aware that a good part of the tone is given by the strings and the bass itself, but how did you set the bass, mids, treble, etc.? I love the tone and I tried to achieve something similar but for some reason whenever I feel I got it right, after a week it seems to me that I actually didn't :D
Tek kelime ile Harika. Armoniler alıp götürüyor. Hayranlik duyuyorum. Keşke senin gibi güzel bir şekilde bass gitar calabilsem. Lütfen "Ne Obliviscaris" ile birlikte çalışmaya devam et. Türkiye'den selamlar 🤘 please translate English.
BASS player here, sounds really good, and to think THEY put us in a mold: can't play metal on flats ??? Followed TalkBass link. YOU proved THEM WRONG !!!!!! Awesome BASS playing man ;)
No really, where do you learned to play bass in that way?, man you are very good , please could you tell me if you have any pattern or key with which to compose your bass lines, because you are so melodic that you impress me, thank you very much. Greetings from Venezuela.
Good day! Big thanks for the video!There is not that many of them online still. I have been looking into buying Vader bass for awhile now but unfortunately never had a chance to try one out to make sure that it'll work for me. So, I gotta question for you: Is there a neck off-set compare to conventional style bass? I have tried other manufactures headless basses and on them it seemed like the neck was shifted to the a left a bit... How was your experience with Vader bass regarding this matter? How think is the neck and do you find excess to 24th fret comfortable? Thank you very much in advance! Cheers.
