Dude.. Beautiful melody and tone, I've been a guitar player for 23 years now and have always been blown away by bassists that think and play outside the box. All the bass players I ever jammed with just did the traditional root note following the guitar chords. Thankfully we have RUclips now and can see guys like you and Davie just murder the traditional bass stereotype! Beautifully written my friend!
Oddly I have roughly the same opinion about guitarists. Almost always unimaginative yet still striving for infinite wankdom. No concept of loudness or tonal balance... time. 🤣 (Then, after playing bass for almost a year, I started actually playing with guitarists who respected their craft and had more than just dreams of being famous for playing fast)
SImply amazing - as always! Was confused at first trying to figure out how magnetic pickups could work with nylon strings. La Bella Black Nylon Tapewounds are nylon wound over stainless wound over steel core.
@@thefakerscritic1397 Of course not! Moving strings made of ferrous metals in their core act as part of the pickups, making them electrical generators (AC). Only the elements iron, nickel, cobalt and gadolinium are naturally ferromagnetic (all metals).
Man, those little short slides in the beginning are subtle, but they add SOOO much movement to the phrase. And when you respond by going low after going high, there is a very brief, yet satisfying sense of resolution (0:08).
Absolutely one of the best bassists on the planet. Your technique and writing style; on top of being able to play anything. You're under appreciated good sir. My favorite bass player ever. Thanks for all the work you put in man.
Hey Charles! Just wanted to say that you inspired me to play bass, and… I’m doing surprisingly well for a beginner! SlaPPing is hard, but I’m doing my best! I want to taPP like you one day, so I never want to give up, just as long as you never give up!
I’ve played professionally for 40 plus years and I’ve played with some of the greatest bassist that ever lived but you my friend are the best bass guitarist I’ve ever seen or heard, your ear and tone are out of this world, look toward to seeing or playing a few songs sometime. Peace
This is the best example I have seen of the electric bass as a solo instrument...I always knew in my head and heart that it could be done by someone of sufficient talent and you proved it with this mesmerizing and enchanting display of your mastery of the instrument and musicianship. You truly make most of the rest of us look like the musical hacks that we are ( i count myself among that group). You have more talent in one finger than I have in both hands. Kudos!!!!!
I always said that Schecter makes nice basses. If this doesn’t prove it; your ears are bad. That bass sounds great! Even with nylon strings on it! Love it!😌🎶❤️👍🏾
Given that he is always playing a different bass, with varying neck and fret dimensions, the level of precision is mind blowing. There is more than just mussle memory going on here. The focus and audial awareness is stunning.
What a beautiful sound. And the sudden contrabass from those sparing taps on the 6th string, what a delightful textural juxtaposition. I could do with a whole album of that.
That's really Something, Charles. Superb. What a pretty timbre you've found experimenting on that neat bass with different materials. I envy you to death, I never developed my wannabe skill. Keep Playing you're definitely an artist. God bless.
I couldn’t thank you enough I have been playing bass for almost a year now and I really enjoy it but as I went further and further into the music community I realized that everyone was freaking out over guitar, drums, and this dude who can sing real well, “oh and bass… we could do with out” but watching you and other really good bass players it made me feel important and that bass does matter, also I didn’t quit sooo. So thank you 🙏
My favorite thing about nylon stings is the fact that they are used on classical guitars even though nylon wasn't around when classical music was being written
I'm really impressed with the attack he was able to get with these. I like the gold strings sound better but he managed to make these sound better than I expected.
I’m wondering now it works? Don’t you need some metal in the strings to cause the pickups to work? Do these nylon strings have metallic centers? I don’t understand it. But it sounds amazing!
@@alphagt62 Piezo Transducer in the bridge or in the body. The Pickups are dead if this are massive nylon strings. Or maybe this are Nylon strings with a thin steel core, then the pickups get magnetic vibes. Both is possible. Without the description of the strings we can only speculate about the way the sound is created. I own a bass with 3 Pickups. 2 Magnetic and one piezoelectric. In High End instruments this is a interessting combination to Mix a little bit "Mechanic" into the sound.
Make an album on this bass, send me the link, I'll buy it. Honestly never been much of an instrumental fan, I enjoy vocals, but you have some very listenable stuff you put on here. I know I'm a relic who still enjoys CDs and albums, I wish I could go to a record store and get a copy of yours. Cheers man.
The albums he puts out in my opinion are sort of a jumbled mess.. is like he tries too hard to make it too hard and winds up sounding like its all smashed together and sloppy. Compared to what he puts out on youtube, to me its night and day difference. Like he doesnt have any direction on albums and the structuring is all over the place.. like mashing two classical songs together at the same time.. every now and again youll hear something that works together but then it goes into an argument within itself.. i dunno why he hasent gotten with a group of people and made friggn music.. even wooten has a band he always goes to..
@@Z-Ack well I'm willing to give them a shot and support him, even if that's true maybe he'll learn from experience and develop better albums as time goes on. I dunno yet, but you gotta start somewhere.
Great playing, as always, and nice strings! You know, the lovely thing about 6-string is how it gives you the range of a contrabass (C1 - C3), bass (C2 - C4), tenor (E3 - A4) and alto (G3 - C5). So such a thing is quite versatile. You basically have 4 octaves at disposure. By the way I notice you’re playing with the lowest string on C. This is my preferred scordatura on my 6-string. It is a bit like a 5 string double bass tuning, just with a sixth string on top. In my opinion there is little use for a low B. It is not really useful in most keys, does not sound particularly good and requires awfully heavy strings not to feel weird. I’m playing 130, and still this does only feel right one halfstep up.
Depending on the style you want, you may actually consider going far lighter for your low B and lowering the action considerably to get a far better tone from it. For example, I have multiple songs that tune to F#0-D3 (Five string Dingwall) and use a .145 as my lowest string and it sounds incredible. I had to go from a .165 to the .145 since the .165 had zero overtones and harmonics to it-- it was just a fundamental note and sounds way out of balance with the other strings. I've found that more often than not, people dislike how the low B sounds because they're putting on strings that are waaaay too heavy and that creates that lack of harmonic differences the other strings have. I should also point out that you can easily play with stupid-low action and simultaneously stupid-low tension and still get that string to sound great. (My usual goal for string tension across strings is ~25-32lbs MAX and currently have a set on my Dimension 5 that is less than 30lbs on the tightest string) **there is a drop off of utility in standard, linear music with notes slightly below that F#0 being that human hearing usually drops off at 20hz or ~E0, but you can make anything musical if you try hard enough.
@@GeroMZ I happen to love opening people's eyes to a very different approach to stringing an instrument that allows some people the exact sound they could never find on their own
How do the pickups pick up the string vibrations? I always thought that metal strings vibrating in the magnetic field of the pickups was what drove the pickups. Were the nylon strings treated in some way that they could be conductors or maybe magnetic? I would love to have this setup, but I don't understand how it works - how it even works.
Had the same question and seems like it’s one of two things. Either the strings have a steel core wrapped in nylon OR something called a piezo system where the bass actually picks up the change in pressure made by string vibrations.
They are tapewound strings. He notes the exact strings in the description. They are still metal strings, but wrapped in nylon tape. The pickups still pick up the metal core and windings under the nylon tape.
Charles, your level of skill is mind boggling. I have been playing bass for 40 years and while my peers consider me “good”. Watching your videos makes me either want to practice more or just give up and sell my gear. 😂
Aaaah, I love watching you play. Beautiful sounding music. Thanks dude. RUclips serves you up first because you're the first thing I always pick when I open the app.
To say the sound these strings created with your ability to play was jaw dropping would be an understatement. I knew that a bass guitar could create soft and gentle sounds, but not to this extent. This is absolutely gorgeous. The amount of pure experience you have really shows in this as you play such a wonderful piece. Lovely work man, keep it up.
Bro, i heard this song 1000 times and i can't get enough !! Heavenly is the word ! I come back on this song every week like a drug ! Its so good ... Can u try to do 3 mins of it ? :p
