I remember my dented $900 Trombone sounding better than the $2,500 ones next to me in school. I truly believe it's always the player, unless it's pure garbage equipment.
Also reminded me of Chris Wolstenholme from Muse. Doesn't do it quite so aggressively anymore, but he would basically be head-banging for the whole 2-hour live show. His hair also used to obscure his eyes, so you know he was just completely in the zone and didn't even have to look at the notes he was playing.

man, you're the best. love that you demo'd higher ground on the cheap bass, just to show any newcomers looking for an instrument that, yes, its possible to play amazing music on something that doesn't cost a fortune if you put your mind to it
@@guidoscalise nah dude. Haven’t you heard that Woody Goss wrote Dean Town? My mom tells me that every time I go to see her. -please don’t tell me i fucked up that joke-
I discovered that years ago, that a cheap bass can sound great. I've been playing 35 years and the last 5 basses I bought and played with are Squiers. All of them have been the vintage modified series and they are great values for the money.
Thanks for this video. I used to play guitar and piano but due to arthritis and a severe right hand injury I no longer can play. I used to enjoy playing music so much, now I just get aggravated trying. It's so frustrating , I thought about buying a bass but that wont help my hands either. No need in making the investment,. BUT I could wrap my hands around a $85 bass and small amp with headphones and play again without bothering anyone. I'm not looking to impress anyone, I just want to play again. Thanks again for this video, and KEEP YOUR HANDS HEALTHY.
Nowadays you don't even nerd an amp. A audio interface and you can just plug into the computer. Just saying if you are trying to play on your own. Whole lot easier than it used to be. Set of headphones, and you can jam all day, even over music you l8sten to. Just a thought...
KILLER, as always. Vulfpeck is the BEST example (along with Black Sabbath) that the pentatonic scale is all you need to sound AMAZING with the right ingredients. 2. INTRODUCING THE FEARLESS FLYERS has been kicking my ass. It's tough to learn, to me, and I've been playing a long time.
Love this. Proof that your sound comes from your technique (signal flow), not just because you buy a really expensive bass. It's especially cool since Joe Dart played a few of these on a Carlo Robelli.
I'd fallen out of practice for the past few years. Then I discovered Vulfpeck, absolutely HAD to learn Disco Ulysses. Now I'm learning 3 on E, and I'm gonna eventually work my way up to Dean Town.
My friend bought a Glarry bass and yeah, it took some setting up for sure, but once we tweaked it into shape it's surprisingly fun to play considering its wildly affordable price point. I play a custom Yamaha 4-string and a Carvin 6-string bass and honestly feel the Glarry is a steal at that price. My friend actually got the same model Charles is playing here for $65 and change, and he's been super happy with it.
Ghost bluster and Ethan are both right. Also change the tone capacitor. It's a $3.00 or less upgrade. I recommend orange cap. You just have to research on what value you need if you want to go higher or lower tone wise
@@ethanlocke3604 nah, when you get to a bass as cheap as this one, you are going to have fret buzz. I have a $300 music man and it even has fret buzz on some of the high notes.
Thank you for this awesome recommendation. I've always wanted to play bass but didn't know which one to get for my first one. Now I do thanks to you 🍻.
What an awesome video -Dart has some amazing lines but that tapping was out of this world!I've played bass professionally9off and on) for 25 years and you are a brilliant bassist.
Vulfpeck has shout outs to all their heroes all over the place, so probably. Listen to any love Beastly solo and you will recognize other songs. Fame and Jungle Boogie come to mind.
I respect you immensely and this video is amazing, I can hardly play the main riff of Beastly, let alone the solo. But still, I’d like to point that in It Gets Funkier IV, at 2:18, I could’ve sworn that he goes to the low E string.
My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.
Joe Dart is probably the most influential bass player of the last 10 years. Really awesome top 10. Would you ever want to be associated with one act like that, Charles?
Big Joe Dart fan... Funny I was going to mention the most important thing was you could get a great sound out of that Glarry bass then you explained exactly that! Shows it's usually the player not the instrument :D
Never liked a video so fast! I play on a pj type bass that I got gifted by a friend who bought it online for like 30 bucks, and it has super high action, but it sounds fairly good and I kinda like it :p And almost the only basslines I play are Vulfpeck basslines!
I understand that’s the tone you are going for but that bass sounds like a muffled $100 bass. Amazing playing though as always. Edit: just watched the ending, it’s an $85 dollar bass LOL. Ad for a cheap bass nice move.
I know you vary it up all the time. But it's still weird to see you not playing your Le Fay. Brilliant as always thanks for being an inspiration and being you 🌟
Thanks to you, I have just bought my first Bass! Ofc it's full price now, but that was still under $140 for bass *and* amp! I'm so excited to start practicing 40 hours a day. :P
Thank you for showing that skill trumps pricy equipment hands down! Way to many gear snobs out there who think you need a $1000 + bass to sound good. Ive seen lots of guys pick up a cheap bass and totally rock that thing. This is a great video for young musicians who might get fooled by people thinking they need something expensive. Granted a more expensive bass will make it a little easier to play well. But nothing substitutes good old practice.
I don't tend to see a lot of metal on your channel (which is totally not a bad thing..you've inspired my son to want to learn bass!!)..I was curious, though..the Mudvayne song Severed is one of my favorites and has some incredible bass playing. Maybe a review or a cover? Thanks for all that you do! Cheers from Arizona!
Thought about getting a glarry fretless, I had a prepaid visa ready to get one. I've been saving for it and then I bought it. Waited a couple of weeks and nothing, so I called the card company and they said that all the money was still on it. So, I settled for some fretted one off amazon. Later after I bought the fretted one I realised that the glarry fretless was also on amazon. But, it was five dollars more than I had. But anyway, I'm happy with the electric off amazon. Thanks for being one of my main inspirations for bass.

Buck Meek of Big Thief also has some crazy jerky movements, but he is a guitarist, not a bassist. Still worth a check tho imo

I got chills on your tap solo at the end.

"you can make this bass sound good for fingerstyle, slap or tap" - ok, but what about the fourth charismatic technique, the quintuple camera?
Damn good job my friend. I’ve been listening to this over and over again. Cause I wanna learn all these bass lines.

I've been waiting for this the whole time. As always. Awesome Charles!!!
This is definitely the best low budget bass commercial I've ever seen
I usually skip ads and sponsor infomercials but watched all of this for Glarry and I’m a drummer. Great job as a spokesman.
My Glarry bass sounds horrible! I can't get a slap tone, fret buzz on the e string. I have tried adjusting it but no use after months now
just make the action higher. on the E string
Sounds like you should try different strings and get it set up by a professional

I also love that one

no sky mall?
I love the funky fingerstyle stuff. Another superb video Charles!
Putting aside humility for honesty, Charles, has there been a bass line written or performed that you can’t play?
Probably loads. So then he practices them for one billion hours and now he can play them.
In all honesty, his talent is freakish. I would put my money on Charles being able to play any gig/piece that's put to him. He's world class for sure.
@@geoffbeyer1873 Well he is a PRO after all ;)
