I used to listen this on loop, about 7 years ago. It just appeared in my yt recommendations after many years and I can still remember every note. Love it so much.
"What instrument do you play?" "Cello" "Ok, come here. This is called a bass, its just like a cello, but turn it on its side and CELLO! YOU'VE GOT A BASS!"
Thank you! Cm7 I Abmaj7 I Emaj7 I Eb7#9- Db7#9: The chords are sometimes replaced by alternatives 'spontaneously': the Db7#9 is often approached with the tritone G in the bass: you'll get G7/13 as a result of this. During the piece some alterations: cm7 is sometimes approached as Cmaj7 for example.
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!!
One of my all time favorite bass videos on you Tube. No overindulgent, drummer wannabee bippity- bobbity bass! Just an excellent musician playing some really great melodic ideas over cool chord changes. I loved all the basses, but the timbre of the last 'C' on the Esteve, is amazing. The 'F' bass is also killer.
i hate you. Because this video should last longer. i want the same but for 20 minutes please. its finish so fast that it made me get back to real life. PLEASE MORE
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.
I love how a simple stingray still holds up as a very distinct sounding bass against all those 4K+ models, I live next to the factory, surprised I still don't own one. Really liked the F-bass as well.
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
The F bass sounds astonishing, better than the Fodera. Rob allen Deep bass also amazing. And the Esteve....Wow, it's a bass sounding right like a classical guitar. Conglaturations for the shoot out.
This is by far, one of the BEST bass related videos I've seen on RUclips! A KILLER bassist, playing some amazing basses... to a nice recording over cool changes.. As far as these basses go, some are familiar to us, some not so much. EVERY one of them has a usable and nice tone. WELL DONE!
That was amazing and that Rob five was sooo deep my walls were shaking, absolutely stunning tone (and stunning playing as well). However, I felt the lack of a Warwick
I love those bass sounds. I just heard it from my Bose speakers with the subwoofer which are hooked up from the a/v switcher, and they sound beautiful.
I'm old school minded, really. But the sounds of all the basses in this video are all so very spot on. Because of that they are all of true beauty and honest to their design and purpose. And, the playing is really terrific. This player so much understands his music and the various tonal qualities of his instruments in the context of it. These different basses all deserve a player like him, really. This is a lesson to me, and I feel somewhat guilty that my basses don't get to shine in their own tonal niche, like the ones in this video do...
I am never bored to watch and listen to this video. I Open at least 2-3 times a month and leave myself in the arms of the bass and jazz. It every time fascinating!
This is so far the smartest, most tasteful, and best demonstration of electric basses on youtube. Great sounds and elegant playing. Each note is phrased like a pro bassist. No showing off. Just perfect musicianship. cheers.
That very first Precision sounded EXACTLY like the bass on the Hair sountrack. You don't want to know how long I've thought it was a Jazz. Thank you so much, my search is complete.
You just proved my point: without all those basses, I can’t sound great. Awesome playing! I love how you change your approach depending on the instrument in your hands, and that you are good enough to sound great on all of them.
+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.
No joke. Came here to check out several basses in the same setting... But that was 3 listenings ago. Now its just sick as fuck bass line writing. Damn bro. You live so deep in the pocket.
I think my favorite parts are when the voicings layer over each other for a brief moment. Always fills my hearts a bit hearing these voices sing together.
I don't even know how many times I watched this (and I started soon after it was first published)... It is so great: especially the way you express the voice of each individual instrument... Thanks for sharing... Ciao...
Just coming to pay respects to THE bass video of bass videos. Never forgot about this one. Coming back to it today, it sounds even better than I remembered. You really hit it with this.
I noticed a rising action, climax and a falling action with the music. It was mellow it the beginning, slowly getting more lively. When it reached it peak, the music got more slappy and energetic. Then it slowly got more calmer towards the end of the song, resolving to those low thumps of the last bass. Me big brain
Thank you for sharing all of the different basses and demonstrating their distinct sounds. Very informative :). You are a truly gifted player and also have a very nice collection of bass guitars.
GREAT sound quality and immaculate playing! Really loved the wide, eclectic variety of basses and the inclusion on of acoustic/electric as well. Thanks!
What an awesome video. I love those fender jazz basses, especially that Deluxe! The fretless were awesome too and that F bass. Bravo! Great chords and solos!
Terrific sounds, really lovin that Toby Chennell Bass - how did you manage to get that low C out of the 4-string in the end? Just tuned it down? Sounds quiet but very stable!
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?
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 practice more. Just kidding - you should practice less. still joking, we need these skills to stay sharp. now what the hell am I talking about
That Rob Allen Deep 5 is the best thing I've ever heard in my life.
+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
That Rob Allen Deep 5 gives me the shivers every single time.
Want.
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.

@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 😂
I used to listen this on loop, about 7 years ago. It just appeared in my yt recommendations after many years and I can still remember every note. Love it so much.
right??
me too man, me too
That Deep 5 is the best sounding instrument I've ever heard.
no wonder why they cost 5 grand, those basses are top tier in terms of materials and craftsmanship
"What instrument do you play?" "Cello" "Ok, come here. This is called a bass, its just like a cello, but turn it on its side and CELLO! YOU'VE GOT A BASS!"
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.

What are you, a " trust fund " baby?
Still, great fun to watch a decade later.
It sure does, even with the subwoofer on.
That rob Allen deep 5 is the best thing I've ever heard
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
I always come back to this video
You are a scary bass player. Wicked man, you really feel the funk.
You make them all sound good. It takes a skilled musician to bring out the basic character of each instrument. Excellent job and nice playing.
Bart is way off skilled
we need a ten hour version of this!
That was beautiful, and the rob Allen was my favorite
I had a deep five for a while, did not know what a gem it is...

Absolutely. The technicality and feel combined. So well delivered.
I can tell you're british
In this case, the player's musicianship and richness of playing ideas, is the thing that's making all the basses sound great, though! lol
are you related to a victor?
says the Wooten man himself lads and gents
I absolutely fell in love with the Gretsch feel and tone. So mellow and deep. And a gorgeous bass as well!
i hate you.
Because this video should last longer. i want the same but for 20 minutes please.
its finish so fast that it made me get back to real life. PLEASE MORE
5 years later, still in love with that video
@@Azety93 honestly same, wish there was more of these type of bass videos on youtube
You have more Bass Guitars than I have clothes...

rob allen deep 5 wot a sound !thumbs up..!
All his basses are wonderful. But that rob allen made me drool.
1:27 to save someone having to scroll :)
I love the Rick Turner Renaissance Bass.
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.
I come back to this video every few months just to hear the Deep 5
I love how a simple stingray still holds up as a very distinct sounding bass against all those 4K+ models, I live next to the factory, surprised I still don't own one. Really liked the F-bass as well.

The algorithm took me here, and I'm not disappointed, awesome video!
This guy must be fucking rich
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.
I just love the sound of the fodera it's so clear and present
Extremely tasteful playing, Bart. Thanks for the demos.
The Rob Allen sound is really amazing, and also the F-Bass'. What a gorgeous sound! Great video, thanks for making it!
Best to have all of them, good to have any.
The violin bass was suprisingly very much rock sounding.
I've watched this so many times, I've started to remember note by note every single line from every bass.
this is a good example of how import the player is for each and every bass... you can hear the difference between them... but NONE sound bad.
Rob Allen's sound is marvellous !!!
That was amazing and that Rob five was sooo deep my walls were shaking, absolutely stunning tone (and stunning playing as well). However, I felt the lack of a Warwick

Sometimes...words just are not enough to express feelings......THIS video is one of those times! Thanks so much for the upload! Cheers All
Very lovely, thanks
what a great idea here~~thx for the tour, ehya
That very first Precision sounded EXACTLY like the bass on the Hair sountrack. You don't want to know how long I've thought it was a Jazz. Thank you so much, my search is complete.
Also: all pickups open/ in neutral position, eq's on the basses flat. Except:
Yamaha: tone 70%
Rick Turner: tone 40%
You just proved my point: without all those basses, I can’t sound great.
Awesome playing! I love how you change your approach depending on the instrument in your hands, and that you are good enough to sound great on all of them.
great tone on that fender jazz bass deluxe!
Nice bass playing, man!
My God, I REALLY want that Rickenbacker!
+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

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.
No joke. Came here to check out several basses in the same setting... But that was 3 listenings ago. Now its just sick as fuck bass line writing. Damn bro. You live so deep in the pocket.
I love the Arco Acoustic Bassguitar's sound :)
found this song in early 2014 and i still get over it...such an awesome song...only if it had sheet music.
This video popped into my mind after years and I decided to watch it again. Great video, great playing and great basses
The groove...amazing!
I think my favorite parts are when the voicings layer over each other for a brief moment. Always fills my hearts a bit hearing these voices sing together.
Fender Jazz! anytime!
Beautiful playing, and a great concept for a video! I just wish for this demo that the keys weren't so loud in the mix. Thank you for this.
I'm a singer, not a bass player, but totally enjoyed this video. Watched it twice!! So nice!
The höfner deluxe violin sounds perfect
That's what I was thinking
That was my first bass. Well, a copy.
Still jamming to your grooves after 6 years 🤘🏻
F-bass BN-5 sounds amazing.

a marvellous piece of artwork... both for the instruments and the musician's quality
this groove almost reminds me of flying lotus
flying lotus is jazz-inspired
I will honestly wait until the end of time for #3
1:19 my man that’s a whole cello
The Rob Allen bass sounds amazing! You sound like a totally different player with each bass. Thanks for uploading!
How could you not play the Takamine TB10?!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing all of the different basses and demonstrating their distinct sounds. Very informative :). You are a truly gifted player and also have a very nice collection of bass guitars.
How did you afford all of those basses holy shit
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
Don't know what to say except that this video and it's performance was special. Thanks for posting. I know I'll watch it at least 20 more times.
Which bass? Well... why not all of 'em!
GREAT sound quality and immaculate playing! Really loved the wide, eclectic variety of basses and the inclusion on of acoustic/electric as well. Thanks!
reminds me of gran turismo
I have to comment again: Extremly tasteful playing bringing out the nature of each bass. Superbe.
The F bass is perfect
Very nice!
Great way of hearing the differences in basses, Well done.
Thank you Thank you
No one needs that many bases my wife would never allow this
Beautifully played, photographed, and recorded! Thank you!
Simply amazing!
What about the strings on the Precision?...flatwound or roundwound?
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:)
What an awesome video. I love those fender jazz basses, especially that Deluxe! The fretless were awesome too and that F bass. Bravo! Great chords and solos!
May we discuss tabs? 😄
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.
most satisfying bass sounds i´ve ever listened to
Terrific sounds, really lovin that Toby Chennell Bass - how did you manage to get that low C out of the 4-string in the end? Just tuned it down? Sounds quiet but very stable!

that song was called: "when I win the lottery"
That acoustic bass thing that looks like an upright bass is sick!
Token, lay down a bass line
I don't know how to play
Damn it token just lay down a bas line
(Plays bass)
Damn it
I watch this video every 2 years
lmao I've never seen an upright played like an electric, must be 1/2 or 3/4 size
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
This is one of my few favorite videos on this website. Incredible.
