Hilarious at 4:50 when Lukey says he’s gonna plays a song and he says “what’s it called?” And he’s struggling to remember what it’s called. And the answer is literally KGLW 🤣😂🤣
I loved that :D I can't remember half of my band's song titles because they go through name changes a lot and most of the time they're just "the new one" :S
No questions at the moment. I just wanted to thank you and all of the band for sharing so much of your creative processes and sharing these videos with us. Thanks for all the great music during these shitty times.
It's so good to see you make mistakes. Seeing you're "only human" will help many rookie bass players build up their confidence. You don't need a 100% flawless execution every time kids, EVEN Lucas from King Gizzard fucks up!
Only finding this now, but damn, hearing it isolated like this really makes it apparent just how rich and meaty this bass sound is. It also heavily contributed to my particular enjoyment of the song Magma on the recent IDPLMAL record.
Enjoying these series because of their sheer authenticity. It seems many musicians these days want to be perfect and will do anything to cover their mistakes rather than adopting a healthy sense of humility. IMO These videos show the sense of humanity of these artists have and that they aren’t just perfectionist lizard gods from the multiverse who write epic microtonal music. Really Good stuff.
Cheers Luke. Thanks for indicating the time signature changes. LW had 7/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/8, 9/8, 11/8!!! that I can remember. Apart from bass skills you need a good memory. Ps: 21/8 counted in 8s and 9s! Hahaha
I don't know if you're still reading the comments but, as a bass player, the bass lines you play are seriously some of my favorite lines to play. Please keep it up with the awesome music!
Thank you so much for this Lucas. You and the band were the reason why I started playing bass. Do you have any advice with regards to locking in with drums? Is it just from loads of practice or is there something else to it?
@@KingGizzardAndTheLizardWizard how deep do I need to stare is it just like a simple “we’re in synch” thing or do I need to stare right into their soul and imagine the two of us settling down and starting a family?
Hi Luke, thanks for showing up haha. It's lovely to hear from you so up close and personal. Wah bending sounds sick. I'm looking forward to see you venture up the higher notes on this monstrosity. If you dare.
The bass is the bedrock of any great band. Lukey you are up there with Flea and Timmy C from my ear drums perspective, I think you are one of the reasons Gizz often sounds better live!
I don't care if Lucas trivially do mistakes during live shows and I don't care that he don't record his bass by himself. He is an awesome bassist and I love him.
Thanks for making this Lucas. It's not like I'll ever have an instrument like this but you continue to be an inspiration for me as an aussie bass player myself. Hope to see you guys one day.
Hi Lucas! Great to hear you talk about stuff, thanks for doing this! I seem to have a recollection of Zac Eccles making a blue fretless bass for you, did you ever use it with Gizz or do you have other plans for it? Cheers from Ukraine x
I bought a 5 string bass and I'm going to learn to play along to you with it as my first song. You're legit a huge inspiration for me. Only problem is I gotta bend my microtones since I don't have a fancy maze fretboard like you.
Amazing stuff, fascinating to see you play up close and to hear the time signatures as they come n go - I’ve been trying and failing to count along to KGLW for weeks now haha
Huge thanks to Lucas for being the main inspiration for me picking up bass last year. Your the GOAT in my eyes mate. Thanks for all the tasty bass lines over the years!
I hear about 12.51836% Justin Chancellor influence. Love the bass, LOVE the low B! I play a lot of Fretless basses and that’s the only way I can play any microtonal notes... but I guess being a Fretless they are all microtonal... keep up the good work, mate! From a fellow thumper from the arrogant colony! (America).
Though I love the mustangs, this is a sick looking and sounding bass! Looks like the giannini formigão that were produced here in Brazil in the 80's. Love your playing, mate.
love u lukey, huge fan. I think i've never found a not interesting bass line from you guys, and many of those are in my top favourites of all time, they're so much fan!! What would you say it's your favourite to play, even as a warm up, and who would you cite as your top bassists inspiration? love u xoxoxo
I love the really melodic basslines - beginner's luck, this thing etc. inspirations: Bernard Edwards, Carol Kaye, Fiona Kitschin, Kim Gordon, Holger Czukay to name a few off the top of my head
god damn that bass looks like some alien instrument. also good to see a professional admit they fuck up, granted you couldn't blame anyone for messing up timing on that song.
hey lukey, have you ever thought about using a fretless bass for microtonal stuff? i've been learning your microtonal stuff on fretless bass & it's worked out petty well, so i was wondering what you thought about using a fretless
thanks for taking care of the gear nerds like us, Lukey! do you have any tips for keeping track of all the weird time signature shifts in songs on the proggier-side? i would imagine it could be pretty easy to slip up and miss your cue, especially when you're in the groove.
Hi Lucas, I really liked your new Bass. Will you use it to play the entire Microtonal repertoire with KG&LW? The last concert they uploaded, and in which you used it, wow !! be impressed with the new Lizard sound, added Michael's new set. And another question; Being 5 strings, how difficult was it to transport the songs to this new bass? ... Greetings from Mexico !!
When touring internationally, is all gear (minus bass and pedals) rented? If so, is it ever weird adjusting to an amp or cab that you haven’t used for years?
We've got a backline stored in each territory - so I know the gear well, but it is still weird. I plan to take this little head with us where ever we go from now on though
"I don't know how to count it though" what a chad
Lucas’ voice: ᴬˡʳᶦᵍʰᵗ ᵗʰᶦˢ ʷʰᵃᵗ ᵗʰᵉʸ ˢᵒᵘⁿᵈ ˡᶦᵏᵉ
Lucas’ bass: AAAHHHHHH
Hahahahahahahhshs
Bassists are either quite reserved or fucking insane like flea or less claypool, there is no inbetween
“Back to 7.”
That’s it. That’s King Gizzard in its purest form 1/7.
The King Gizzard theme song could only ever be in 7/4
'The Lukey & Walkey Show'. Would like to see that one 🦖💚
classic straight guy funny guy dynamic
"There WILL BE f*k ups" and "This is on 7... I don't know how to count" made him one of my fave bassists already

I'm a huge fan, and a bass player. You're sounding killer on all the new material, and your live tone in Melbourne is amazing.

I'll have to agree. I've just started with bass a couple of weeks ago and the I'm in your mind medley is a lot of fun.
Thank you so much for this Lucas. You and the band were the reason why I started playing bass. Do you have any advice with regards to locking in with drums? Is it just from loads of practice or is there something else to it?
Stay close and watch the kick and snare. Stare into the drummer’s eyes and you will find the 1.

Hi Luke, thanks for showing up haha. It's lovely to hear from you so up close and personal.
Wah bending sounds sick.
I'm looking forward to see you venture up the higher notes on this monstrosity. If you dare.
I understand like .1% of this but it’s fun to watch u play along!
disgusting bass tone, I love it
You the man, Lucas! Been a guitarist my whole life, but some of your work has inspired me to finally pick up the bass. Cheers!
Lukey! Will you ever sing again? I notice you have a mic in a lot of real old Gizz live shows
Maybe one day! Need to learn first
@@KingGizzardAndTheLizardWizard 3 years later we finally have Lukey vocal parts on Flight B!
Would be cool to see a rundown of some of the non-microtonal rigs with that classic gizz bass sound
The bass is the bedrock of any great band. Lukey you are up there with Flea and Timmy C from my ear drums perspective, I think you are one of the reasons Gizz often sounds better live!
Hell yes, been waiting for a Lukey Rig Rundown \m/
Lukey's rig rundown:
The word bass write on the bass.
the only member who actually teatches something.
We love you!! You’re the best!!
This was great, thank you so much!
Lots of love from Idaho in USA!!!
Yooo me too!
Yeehaw, me three
I don't care if Lucas trivially do mistakes during live shows and I don't care that he don't record his bass by himself. He is an awesome bassist and I love him.
Thanks Lukey, this is great. Did you write most of the part yourself or did Stu, or was it like a 50/50 deal?
Stu wrote and played the bass on this one in ableton with midi bass !
@@KingGizzardAndTheLizardWizard Cheers, thanks!
that muff sound is so satisfying
Loved the video Lukey, hope you’ll make more when you have the time! Perhaps you could show off your bass collection 😊
Bass tone on Supreme Ascendancy is supremely amazing 🤘
this is all i ever wanted. that microtonal five string is so rad
Amazing Lukey! Thanks mate!

Yep Zach has made me a fretless! I’ve used it from time to time and it’s made it’s way onto a few recordings but I definitely need to play it more
@@KingGizzardAndTheLizardWizard Oh cool, what songs is it on?
i believe it was mostly on sketches wasn’t it?
Barefoot Desert was a fretless I believe
@@GaminWarlord It does sound like it, but according to credits Cookie played the bass on that song
I don’t even play bass but this is super informative and fun to watch!
That is the most beautiful bass in existence.
Hey love these vids. Its so awesome to see so much behind the scenes of your guyses creative process. Thanks for doing these kinds of vids!
Lukey affirms himself as a top 7 Gizz member once again
Man am I hoping for a whole microtonal doom album!
"incredibly powerful and versatile for its size"
Dang thanks for the fret diagram and neck modifying sites. You’re true blue for that.
I bought a 5 string bass and I'm going to learn to play along to you with it as my first song. You're legit a huge inspiration for me. Only problem is I gotta bend my microtones since I don't have a fancy maze fretboard like you.

Hey Lukey, has the dynamic changed now that Gizz only has one drummer. Has it affected they way you & Cavs perform? Cheers man
I love these videos. They are so down to earth. Keep em coming!
Thanks for sharing, Lucas. So rad.
Incredible job Lucas! I love seeing these videos you guys put out!
That tone is SMOOOOTH

For any Gizz fan struggling with his accent the guy that made his bass and FMT banana is Zac Eccles. Cheers
Thank you Lucas. Big fan!
So hyped to see you guys in Adelaide tomorrow
He’s basically climbing up time sigs. Fun stuff.
Sounded so good the other night at the bowl dude! Is it a short string? If so what’s the B tension like?
Yep short scale! Looser than I’d like, but that’s what you get with a low b I think
The secret to the sauce. When you see a live KGLW show you know, you feel it in your nether regions.
Thanks Lucas. I've been playing forever and I didn't know about that counting thing. Also those alphabet letter things. Keep on rocking.

I’ve been using this head for a year now, best sounding amp ever, the trick is to put a smooth drive and crank the blend knob at full

As one of the bass players in all of California, even the United States, all I can say is “Dude, this is fμcking awesome!”
As a drummer, I haven't a clue of what pedals even are but this K.G.L.W. rendition is incredibly educational!
If I were a critic, my mind would be blown. But I am just a fan and my face melted off.
