That bass waited nearly 40 years to be played by Mr. Experience. It was worth the wait.
Hahahahaaa
Donny, you don't just create music, you also create a little bubble-universe all your own into which you invite us to step so that we can really experience and get a sense of what you're trying to achieve through this wonderful artistic project of your. Mr Experience is quite a clever title. Much respect to you, kind Sir. You are an amazing Artist.
That Smith sounds amazing. It's clearly in the right hands.
Best part of 2023 was seeing Donny in concert.
I saw him in concert back in San Diego last year; i swear to god the raw sexual energy he emits is too powerful for this universe
Don and Ken. A match made in heaven!
How has it taken me this long to discover you Donny? You're the saviour of music in these troubled times. Keep doing what you're doing. Amazing.
Donny, you really ARE the boss!
I am so, and I cannot stress this enough, HARD right now
I rarely see musicians reveal their secrets this way. Donny is just so real and cool, he's happy to show you all the riffs. Haha
The bloke is a national treasure and she be protected all costs
Yes, brother Don.
If Donny did a gig on the moon, i'd hitch a ride on a starship and meet him on the Sea of Tranquility.
The bass in that fade out section of Love Online is so damn grooving!
God I love this mans charisma !
On the seventh day God rested and relaxed by putting on Mr. Experience.
...and the Lord said it was good
This man is one of my heros!
JUST SAW YOU IN LA AND MAN WHAT A SHOW. You had absolutely the most CRUSHING and smooth, tone ive ever heard live from a bassist. Mr Experience himself is a life changing show for anyone. donny is the 🐐
That switch, sounds like clav mode 🤩
Bloody fuckin' legend, hope to see him live some day! (I'm American btw, but I love Aussies and 🇦🇺)
This man changed my world. I love his music! He is so talented and a cool 😎 guy.
Good lord Donny what a bass you've got there. Sounds magnificent!
love the balance of great, intelligent composition and simplicity. nothing unnecessary and everything in it is beautiful alone
You know it’s going to be a good day when The Don uploads to RUclips.
Gorgeous Kent Smith! The Konichiwa video is the best video ever loaded on RUclips.
Thank you! 😊
Long live the funk!
Worst part of 2023 was missing donny in concert.
Not for me haha
Worst part of the invasion of Poland in 1939 was missing Donny in concert.
I know I’m in Turkey 🇹🇷
Should have been at the bimbo 365 club in SF on st Patrick’s day. Too good 🔥
He killed it in L.A.
The rhythm is the bass and the bass is the treble 👍⭐️
to this day, i still don't know what that means..
Donny tu es le meilleur, quand reviens tu à Paris ?
I'm in. You're worth listening to.
I am a bassist and I cannot FUNK like that!... awesome!
Please give me lessons!
Its the placement of that open A in that lick that's so boss
Mr Donn,you are the Master
What a damn good year!
tonsillitis serendipity, glad reality doesn't disappoint teenage nerding out

Definitely some slippery licks there in the last few mins. 💯
Bountiful fruit delivered fresh by The Don 🍓🍎🍍🍒
Donny Benet & jamiroquai -nice team !!!!!
Simply cool music.. Hey, let´s make a song about peace in these strage times!
Donny you adorable music nerd, keep on funking!
"I have plenty of basses, but THIS one has a bass cut switch!"

I think I saw Donny and his band at the Newtown Festival. Im thinking 10 or so years ago maybe more can’t remember. Anyways It was fantastic . My friend Chris plays one of those basses they are bad ass . Anyways enjoy whatever it is you do . Peace ☮️.
those fills!! yeah!
Love Online is rad!
Sensei Benét! You are a true Bass-master. I bow in respect!
So smooth. So funky. The love has never been this online
The most "Everything falls into place" vibe video on the net. Amazing as always
Ciao Mr Benét!
I hope to see you at Eurovision Song Contest sooner or later!!!
Well made songs, great bassist and person too!
Greetings from Italy
Fantastic!
Legend
I love you brother.. please more content !
Your combination of superb skills and down-right fun / joie de vivre as the French may say / is absolutely inspiring. Thank you Mr. Benét !
That’s Right baby!
Drove two hours to see your March show in Boston with my pal Rob. It was amazing! Nothing beats a vintage Smith.
This is amazing. I dont even know how to play bass yet here I am at 43 thinking I should take it up. Thank you for all you do Donny and cant wait to see you on the AU tour in June!
Ho yeah slap that BASS DONNY
Konichiwa ! I Love You !
❤❤❤❤
La Piano, hands down my album of the year, keen for a follow up!
Please come to Hawkes Bay!
Outro of Love Online combined with little soloing was incredibly groovy (ideal sound for night pursuit)!! Ken Smith sounds superb! I'm waiting for next Europe tour! Love you Donny!
Today was the first sunny day after a long time in my country.I put on "forgotten spring" to boost my mood into the higher dimensions, then I discovered this video and what a day it was. Thank you good sir, I love everything that you are cooking
Just recently stumbled upon your catalog and I can't get enough hope to catch you live one day!
Sweet
Sound on this video was pumpin. And that opening was a banger. So glad you scored a legacy type instrument and look forward to further content🎉
WOW that plays so smooth! need more Donny in our lives!
i saw him in concert back in October at San Diego. Along with the opener band, it was one TRULY amazing show!
I'd LOVE to see you here in Chicago! Will you ever come out to the States?
These types of vids are a lot of fun, even if I'm not a true bassist just a guy with a couple basses that occasionally meanders around some notes lol. Thanks Donny!!
Thank you for the insights into your creative process and the bass tutorials Donny! A real class act.
Donny, that KS is beautiful. A worthy match for your virtuosity.
New Donny video!!! I can only watch the old ones so many times.
Aw no, I'm one of the guilty ones - I played Konichiwa as part of a bass demo video, and I got one of notes wrong! Bummer 😞, should've listened more closely. Thanks Donny for showing us the right way to play it!
This is seriously the best tone I've ever heard from a Ken Smith. Such a terrific sound 👌
Donny with a Ken Smith?! Nice!
Damn those skills
As always, LEGIT. Please consider playing in Eugene Oregon again. Portland was a good set but a long drive and the city was a bit rough around the edges.
Just some quality sounds from Mr. Donny Benét! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🤌🏽✌🏾
Don't be fooled by this guy he'd make a broom sound good.
Donny I am a bass player and a huge fan of your work. Keep up these awesome videos
Saw Donny in MTL last month. Excellent show. I had a blast.
Cheers!
GROOVY

Beautiful Ken Smith Bass. Your so lucky to own it.
I saw you in LA earlier this year, brought some friends who became instant fans. Just found out that youre going to be in Santa Ana next week, I didnt realize you were even still in the country, but I just scooped up some tickets and I am so fuckin stoked, what a treat
Sounds great baldy
These videos remind me of 80's VHS bass instructional videos. Tasty!
The man! The myth! THE EXPERIENCE
Sick 🤘🏽
Donny we need that five string stingray in a video😮❤😮❤
The best of the best. The cream of the crop.
Thank you for your great music. Love the attitude !
13:56 What a transition! Thank you M. Benét!
That bass sounds so good. My '97 original Pedulla Thunderbolt is one of my best sounding basses. Something about some of the older basses....they just have that sound and are so easy to play.
Love your music dude! Le piano has been on repeat round my gaff for months 🤘 awesome groove in all your songs. Enjoy that beautiful bass my g
Donny Benèt is the man-è!
I will slap the first person to download this video. Thank you for sharing your skill!
ok i like this just by the intro
Ken Smith bass: "OMG i found the rarest human, one of the best bass players ever, and look at that svelt design! Just had to get it. Most musical moustache ever. Dont make em like that anymore"
Came home after going to my regular pub and having a bit of a run in with judgmental feelings about things and now having lasagna with bread to dip the extra sauce and Donny makes it all güd.
