- Having fun with some funky & freaky ideas we came up with while jamming around. I'm stepping my oc-2 octaver on/off a lot during some riffs, also used some chorus and driving some gain from an ebs microbass II pre-amp. Get this track on iTunes: itunes.apple.c... Thanks for watching!

Cheers!
7 years later and I still had the beginning riff stuck in my head
Same, it's just so funky
make that 8 years, man
9 years for me dude. I catch myself whistling and humming that shit almost everyday somehow
Yeah never heard such way of playing bass! I humbly try this riff everyday, and won't get it tonight nor tomorrow I guess🤫
Awesome eighth note, surgical precision, GoodOld90s bass sound....and EarlyTech.. waow
Je dis: Bravo!
Dont forget the drummer, holding his own too.. Awesome...
precisely...wise words!
Having a vast knowledge of the drums )applied and theoretical )my verdict on the drummer is this. The bassist may as well be using a drum machine, the drummer plays with next to no feeling or groove. I could understand the lack of innovative fills if the drummer had really got in the pocket of the groove, however he did not; leaving much to be desired. The bassist on the contrary is beyond virtuosic! And loved the video none the less 😋
Joseph Natana EXACTLY he plays perfectly on the drums... he is very tight and well timed... this is all remco asks for... the video is for the bass afterall
@m1nty99 You don't need to brag
m1nty99 I actually admire the drummer holding back and just keeping the groove. You can hardly hear the bass drum and the bass guitar is mixed too high. Having sold my ‘74 Precision fretless with rosewood fretboard I regret it after seeing this, nice stuff👍
After 35 years of rock'n'roll, I think I've found my definitive favourite bass player ever.
Wait till you find out about Les Claypool
@@BudderB0y2222 Hi, I don't know how old you are, but I listened Les Claypool for the first time around 20 years ago...
@@zeelias_zezito65 Hi, I'm 76.5 years old and my original comment was sarcastic.
@@zeelias_zezito65 Bro that is nothing, I know people that listened to him 40 years ago.
check out Charles Berthoud
I love the riff that starts at 1:18
deserves it's own song imo! Could be a great Primus song. You're great man!
That would basically be Wynona's Big Brown Beaver. Lol.
It is one. Lol
he was kidding
LOL I THOUGHT THE SAME THING
This is dope
Bass + drums = best rhythm section(and beyond) imaginable.
True! I want to hear a guitar player and singer lay their tracks on top of this! What’s not to love?
1:18 sounds like a mix between Primus and Pearl Jam. Fucking sick bro keep it up!
+Trolls Boggle they suck (:
thats their slogan
ok lol
+Trolls Boggle hey, its my other account, check out my new my name is mud tutorial if you'd like (:
It does yeah.
He's like a mix of jaco and les claypool
Not 2 mention MARK KING & or John Taylor
He slaps like Flea too!
Mick Karn and his frettless playing
is not to be missed in music history.
Mick don’t know some people.
Mick Karn was the bass player of
‚Japan‘.
--
This guy here is very good.
Outstanding.
Is Mick Karn much better that this
guy here?
I am really confused.
He’s using the claypool fx pedal
Justin Brule Yes Flea slaps. That is a fact.
I love how both dudes are just jamming and having so much fun getting into it. Music is always better when the musicians are enjoying it like this! 😁✌️
props to an excellent drummer too
Your style, grooves, and playing reminds me a lot of Les Claypool. Keep the great work up.
HOLY SHIT, the most innovative and fresh bass i've listened so far!
that drummer pulled it all together. Great playing on both parts
1:52 has so much funk that you might cause a heart attack to someone not ready for it!
Gun Sam holy sht it does
I came here looking for Funk. I thought I was prepared. I was not prepared. I am now Funkified until further notice. Best Regards All!
Sounds like Primus at some points, great work and style :D
***** It's probably just Geddy Lee with a lot of time on his hands.
60% primus
30% drums
Zaqq do you say for a sliced melody?
Probably because of the fact that he uses a fretless bass, has some similiar effects on and implements percussive playing.
Man this is great! I saw this last night and couldn't help but move my head with a big smile on my face! I watched almost all your videos and they're all great but I can't stop watching this one. Such an awesome funky groove. I really dig your bass tone and how you come in on the "and" right away without waiting for a measure. Great tune I wish I had a cd of this!
RAWN....RAWN...RAWKY?
I think we can all agree that guitarist ruin everything. 🖤
Yes unless it's just guitar and drums
@@russelmurray9268 Naw. Just drums then. 😎
I just made a fretless out of an old bass, it's such a phenomenal way to encourage creativity
I love how aggressively punchy your tone is! A+ man!
I wonder if/how much compression is used here… and how much of this coming from THEESE FINGERS.
It's a sneaky and confident slab of funk. Like Carne Asada. Lines cutting against the grain,opening up breaking points. Keeping the entire meal from becoming chewy and less memorable. You are a master at your craft and your professional approach, respecting the instrument, and also pushing its boundaries. Is classy and tasty.
The drums are really sweet as well! Great chemistry :)
Primus is strong with this one
PLEASE MAN, FIND A GOOD GUITARIST AND MAKE A BAND!! IT WILL BE AWESOME!!!
this is something he should do deadass
He is a band
Who needs a guitarist, we have BASS
@@cornifer5261 true
Are you stuck on stupid?
This is definitely one of my favorite fretless grooves in your playlist.
Soooo beautiful it makes me wanna cry😭
Some of the sickest riffs Ive heard in a very long time. Great playing. Particularly love your use of barring notes. So powerful. Also your various placements of harmonics. Great ynamics. Fantastic tone on this bass.
The sound, the groove, the phrasing and the tasty licks are just amazing
This is just beautiful!
This one just makes me happy! Chuckling at how freaking bouncy and unexpected this groove is 🤘❤
TWO ✌️
AWESOME 👊
👉 GUYS 💪
AND GIVE THE 🥁 SOME 🎶🎸🎼
BOTH IN HARMONY 👍👌👏💪
As much as this does have a Primus feel to it, You still have an extremely original sound and grooves going on. Your style is so great to listen to! I can’t wait for more music!
That octave riff @ 1:19 seriously rocks.. Def hear some Primus vibe in the double-stop riff too. Nicely done man..
Molto bravo. Il giro di basso permette di ottenere dallostrumento delle sonorità straordinarie, il bassista è veramente eccellente.
GROOVE....FOR....DAYS, AND THE SOUND IS OTHERWORLDLY !
This cures my depression
I think it cures everything
Even cancer
Wow, that was fun and one big inspiration. After 25 years of playing I ordered my first fretless yesterday. Can't wait. :)
dada dudu Do you like your fretless?
I have slowly gone from 3 fretted bass guitars and 2 fretless about a year and a half ago.now today I am seriously playing 4 fretless 1 not I am a regrettless fretless drop c bass beast.I wish all bassists a very behringer Christmas and a mesa Boogie new year.may your p bass be hummin as my 5 string ESP b 55 fretless keeps me from bummin this is straight from my Hartke 410s and my behringer ultrabass 3000h head I know even naughty kids gladly go to bed as its Van Halen is unchained and killing the grateful dead.so to you I say puff puff pass if you dont love my poem kiss my brown ass .life is a mosh pit and it's running fast .So pick up new strings so my sound is always a Christmas blast .so to all I say is ho ho show me your festive camel toe member it's always in this as pack a bowl .even in 20 it's still sex,drugs and rocknfucknroll merry motley cruehaunika wy a healthy Megadeth new year ...777
Stryper reason for the season
The thing that i like about fretless basses are the fact that they have probably the best sounding tone
I literally can't stop smiling when listening to this.
*throws wallet at screen*
Lmfao
Lol take the membership cards too!!!
After hearing Remco play I lay down my bass and rethink my thinking.
me too kkkkk
as a novice bassist, this guy inspires me! there's really no level to how much you can learn/improve your own sound
@@isaiahharris6497 ALL ON 4 STRINGS AMAZING
This is uber-cool. What an impressing groove! :)
True bassist, heart and soul!
Ramco this is mental ! What a tone too!
All I can say is "Holy crap!"...that was amazing mate....
Damn brother! Seven years later and the groove is still a mighty beast!
Funky, skillful, and more
Amazing! Love the fretless sound :)
i am just luvin' all your vids. you two are an awesome combo ! playing them as background music around the shop as im wrenchin on my old harleys. i play bass, my brother drums, and this reminds me of when we used to just come up with whatever pops into mind back in the good old days. great work !
If you play like this ,post it ,otherwise we doubt it.
I absolutely love all of your grooves. They are an inspiration.They are so musical not just jibberish or play on a bass that is not actually bass.
Whooooa.... 1:18 ,I've never heard sounds like that come from a bass guitar before, apart from your drummer of course you sounded like a one man band. Incredible playing.
You're catching on! Almost there...
Thumbs way up! :)
peace,
Tim
You can do better?
See how the others got the joke?LOL! The dude is great. Oh well, get some sleep.
You're a BEAST, me bredrin! That's how a slick fingerboard should be played! True story
it is amazing how the video captures the vibrations of the strings and his fingers
Most elaborate Seinfeld scene transition music
Brilliant, pure genius!!
Love the hint of Rage Against The Machine
Best bass player I've ever seen hand's down! 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
Remco Bass Man! The One & Only!🤩🤩🤩
Hey, you and the drummer, this is awesome :-)
Очень интересно.!!! Звук шикарный.!!! школа блеск.!!!
That’s the funkiest bass line I’ve heard in a long time🔥🔥🔥🔥
Naprosto s Vámi souhlasím !!!
You and Flea! Just the very best!
Great !!! Nice use of harmonics !!!
Remco your videos are endlessly inspiriting, And as a result am now wrangling with it's owner for a fretless J with EMG"s and will have you to thank for sketching our a map of the journey ahead. You mentioned treating your fretboard with epoxy, do you recommend applying it in the form of an aerosol spray?
Cheers Gary, glad you're digging my stuff! If you'd like to treat it with epoxy I'd recommend brushing it on & sanding it down to get it levelled. If you'd prefer spraying, maybe polyurethane could be an option, it's less durable, but easier to apply. Best of luck with your new fretless man, enjoy!!
Awesome bro! I love how you point the camera directly to your plucking hand as well as your fretting hand! You are the only bass player that really does that of the thousands on you tube. Your technique is just so unique Remco, absolutely incredible!
Two talented dudes right here
Nice jam again
Masa, más conocido como Masa.
I've been playing for 40 years and you are GREAT. Way beyond my ability and I rarely say this. Perfectly crafted with drums, very creative bass lines and precise playing. Just phenomenal.
Oh ya! Funk on. Hit replay again.
Still wish I had the dreads, still with I had the grooves...
Fucking awesome!
Cant stop moving. Happy music!!!!
Believe it or not, Remco is my *favorite musician ever!!*
If I sell my soul to the Devil will I be able to play like you?
+dandycliff2 I guess you haven't heard this joke. A guy summons the devil and asks: "How much for being the best guitarist in the world?" "Your soul", the devil replied. "That's a bit too expensive" claims the guy "What do I get for 10$?" And the guy became homeless for he'd become the best bass player in the world. :)
+dandycliff2 If you sell your soul you do not need anything. It is the same as if to sell computer in order to buy software. And no you cannot buy another soul.

Nope. Just have a Highball With the Devil
Outstanding!! What year of Jazz is that? American or Japanese? You guys have really come up with something very, very cool!
Thanx a lot! It's a japanese jazz, made in '89.
This might be the best thing ever.
I never thought i would ever have a similar Favorite Bass Player next to Les Claypool, but this Dude is right there!!!! He joins my list of awwed favorites along with Victor Wooten, Flea, Mark Sandman, MAIZINGS!!!!!!!!
I've featured this bass line in my latest video - a tribute to the great RUclips bass players!
Check it out!
No. I don't check out comment advertisers. And no one else does either. Reported.
I checked it out, It was a cool video.
Which one?
Anthony Kiedis must put some lyrics in this amazing song!
Sorry for my english, Im from Mexico
You did far better than a lot of Americans.
Si, Good Idea
Remco has posted hundreds of videos since this one, but I still keep coming back to this one after all these years
Always enjoy listening to Remco, he just tears up those funk grooves.
Bravo brorher.
omg only 30k subs, you need at least a "0" plus in this number :)
These 14 people were like: "hm, this guys is way better than me at playing the bass, I better hit the dislike button"
esta cerca de ser lo mejor q eh escuchado en mi vida...
Most mere mortals have no idea just how difficult this is to actually play on a fretless bass. All they know is that this jam sounds Freeking Awesome! :-)
tabs?
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

imagine this... and a good drummer
youre not peno ...youre not stanlay...youre not king the mark.. you are you.. grate!!!
Thats what I call drum and bass!!
Love the harmonics feel like im floatin
God!!! That was the best 4 minutes of my life....🤘
He is a beast. Playing the bass inverted.
Great old school style funk with no BS flashy stuff. Nice feel, and the drums are organic, not as bad as some mention. We need to get back to the good funk, like this stuff. Should write a song around this.
1:18
You really nailed it man!
Fantastic!
Simply groovin'. Funky.
damn! having good intonation on a fretless without cheater marks on the board will always blow me away!
Cara toca muito Bass estilo diferenciado... O melhor Bass que já vi 🤙🏻
Great coloured kit. Classic
I'm a fretless bass player myself, That's a really funky groove in the beginning!! Love how easily you laced in that harmonic.
Un gran interprete , con mucho sentido del tiempo y el espacio .
Awesome i love it, how he plays the fretless bass guitar. 😍👌
Excellent
