One weird tip: watch out for the _weight_ if you think that could be an issue. I have a really nice 5 string Yamaha that I play too little, especially standing, just cause it literally weighs 2kg more than my main guitar. But much like with guitars, the weight varies a lot, just that by its very nature a bass is bigger. Then again I am built like Gollum so your mileage may vary
@@valiantdiesel1332 What is Ichika missing to get to Charle's level? It's hard to compare musicians at such a high skill level and I can't think of anything that either one of them couldn't do on the bass
@@rear5118 charles is a bit cleaner. It's hard to detect because this performance is so good but there's some fret buzzy stuff and it sounds like he's working a little harder than charles would. that's not saying much because charles is a complete monster
I don't really like djent - so not a subscriber but wanted to drop a good word on how you aren't just a guitarist playing bass, this is genuinely bass played by someone who understands bass. Not just technical ability but the composition. Very rare and special talent! Congrats. 素晴しい
RUclips suggested this video to me, and it didn't take me long to realize you are one of the best guitar and bass players on RUclips. I'm glad for their suggestion and look forward to hearing more of your musical genius.
I found one of your songs “Ethereal Feel” on spotify awhile back, and just found this today. I just wanted to say you are an absolute legend, and you inspire me to make groovy ass beats. Love what you do
I'm learning bass and I got this video recommended. I thought "oh wow an easy riff I can get started with learning" then I clicked on the video and nevermind that thought. Still I wanna be able to do this one day, so I'm gonna keep improving.
This sounds like it'd be perfect in an RPG/JRPG as an after-battle theme on the exp/drops screen... now I'm just imagining what kind of soundtrack this hypothetical game would have, so sick lmao 😂🤩
I need to learn how to play this. I'm just getting into learning bass and I have a 5 string aswell (the only bass I have) so I need to learn this as it's also 5 string and sounds awesome
This guy is the living embodiment of "No matter how good you get at something, there will always be an Asian who can do it better than you." Great job!
I just started playing my electric guitar and i will say this with absolute conviction; I want to someday be just as skilled as you with the guitar, this was 110% Amazing.
I feel like this guy is the only guitar player who can play a bass exactly as he plays his guitar without upsetting bass players 😂
As a dedicated bass player I 100% agree with this statement ;)
Pretty much true but he is using some slapping techniques that he wouldn't normally use on guitar
Well he respects the bass like a bass. He’s using bass technique and is crazy talented generally.
How about Buckethead? 🪣 🐓
@@T--xk3hfbuckethead knows what’s up
As a guitar player, I’ve always wanted a bass. This is so cool!
A harley benton short scale (the mustang rip off) may be a good entry point.

A jackson js1m is a great option
Also a guitarist and this bass convinced me to buy a rrx24 as my main six string
just buy a dingwall bro, stop buying mid range sht, unless u want like 5 bass in your room lmao
yea same, i kinda wanna learn bass instead of guitar, it seems a little more fun
I know it was not just me replaying this over and over.
Nope
Nope im.stiilling repeating in 2023..lol!+
Im replaying becuz i wish this was a full song
Need a full version fr
Still no full version?
His whole style lends itself to bass so well
Imagine how sick it would be if you’re listening to a song and this solo comes up
The sequence lowkey gives me "Yoru ni Kakeru” (racing into the night) by YOASOBI vibes (specifically the piano part)
yes
The song I’d be listening to if this happened would be Rapport by Tatsuya Kitani
@@dinahbird7473bleach fan 👀
@@dredvax Yes, I am. My mom also loves Bleach. My favorite character is Ikkaku Madarame, and hers is Byakuya Kuchiki
Ichika, being mainly a guitar player, can play bass as cleanly and tastefully as Charles Berthoud. That's seriously impressive.
Not quite Charles levels but closer than anyone else I've ever seen
If you look back into older interviews with Ichika you’ll see he was actually a bass player before a guitar one.
@@emeth660 that actually explains so much

That's insanely fast, your technical skill and precision is incredible
That bass is so pretty. And the playing too of course
I think the bass player looks better
Love his shoes 👟👟
arguably one of the ugliest basses ever. (he is great tho)
That bass looks the way that riff sounds.
Looks like a Ritter to me. Jens Ritter makes some sweet looking basses.
As a not bass player, i liked this
What you mean
@@gus439 hes a not bass player
As a bass player, I liked this
As a bass player i quit.
As a bass player, i sense a lack of BASS in you
I swear if I ever turned my stories into a show or an anime I'd give everything to hire this guy on the spot
Great tone man! Super crisp!
I could hear your riffs on loop for hours. Makes me always press replay over and over again. So sick
Yeah he needs a second channel where he posts longer loops of his short videos lol
you can right click on the video and the first option should be play on repeat :)
This bass is almost as beautiful as the tune played
Liked it so much I was surprised it ended so quickly, even by Ichikas short video standards.
I'm convinced this man can master any instrument in minutes
@@jaxflfreebirdmayonnaise is an instrument
glad this came in my recommendation, i like this now:)

I didn't expect it, it turns out you are good at playing the bass
**Everyone liked that**

Impossible to not move your head while listening to this.
I need an hour long loop of this. It tickles my autism.
That is a beautiful instrument. Love the turquoise even on the fretboard
Man with bass being by nature a pretty noisy instrument, it really takes work to sound this clean. Respect!
Sometimes sloppy playing can work though
I can almost bet you're not a bass player by your comment
@@KingShadStarSeed9or even a guitar player lol
@@smoothyodaproductions4373 He's certainly not a French Horn player.
@@Funkensturme or any instrument player
I watched this 10 times. Make a longer version, please.
Yea this is fucking awesome.
That has got to be one of the coolest looking Bass guitars I’ve ever seen!
Amazing playing 👍🏼
i just feel like bass/baritone instruments are always superior. there’s no sound like those deep, smooth tunes they can produce
He's playing some of that good good, that fonky chonky, that splish splash, that slurp blurp, that *_WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH_*
that is theeeee sickest bass ive ever seen and i want it!!!!
I CANNOT stop coming back to this video over and over again, I NEEED a full song!
I found one of your songs “Ethereal Feel” on spotify awhile back, and just found this today. I just wanted to say you are an absolute legend, and you inspire me to make groovy ass beats. Love what you do
I can see why everyone likes this line. Beautiful ❤
I came here to say that bass guitar is sick!!!! Then i noticed your skills are sick as well! Very nice!
I'm learning bass and I got this video recommended. I thought "oh wow an easy riff I can get started with learning" then I clicked on the video and nevermind that thought.
Still I wanna be able to do this one day, so I'm gonna keep improving.
the riff is awesome.....but my goodness that is the most beautiful bass ive ever seen
Damn that bass is sweet.
i dont know whats cooler, the bass, the bass riff, or the bass riff player.
this sounded so awesome, wish it was longer.
You just hit more notes than I have this week
I love to play guitar in my free time it makes me feel comfortable
Very nice voice
It should be illegal for a riff this good to be this short!
Excellent bass line! There's loads of places to take that, where you can make a great track or write a song.
This man is so good i saw my bass and yelled at it then havent touched it in years. Thanks bro..
Beautiful
who wanted this to last longer? Everyone.
What a gorgeous instrument
Woahhhh, i stumbled across this. This is SICKKKKK
I love this riff
I want this as a full song!
Same
Look into his song, "Good Enough" feat AKKOGORILLA. Pretty certain this is a variation of it
Warwick makes some staggeringly awesome rigs. That one is like nothing I have ever seen before fretboard wise.
Yeah I’m trying to find the model, it’s insane
@@JeffysLife it's Ichika Nito's custom Warwick Streamer LX Bass
@@loungebyloungety
This sounds like it'd be perfect in an RPG/JRPG as an after-battle theme on the exp/drops screen... now I'm just imagining what kind of soundtrack this hypothetical game would have, so sick lmao 😂🤩
as a member of the everyone commuty, i can confirm that i like this bass riff.
esse é um dos baixos mais lindos que já vi na vida
I would pay so much to hear you, Davie 504 and Marcin stream a live concert! You are very talented!
Yooooo I remember someone else playing this. Feels kinda nostalgic ngl.
Its got old school sonic vibes thats pretty cool
more of this please
Вот) и я о том же… для жадин жадничают!:)
that is an awesome bass! and incredible playing
With its wide range of styles and genres, the guitar offers endless possibilities for creativity and self-expression.
I need to learn how to play this. I'm just getting into learning bass and I have a 5 string aswell (the only bass I have) so I need to learn this as it's also 5 string and sounds awesome
I'm currently obsessed with Masayoshi Takanaka, this vibe reminds me of him!!
was about to say
The rainbow goblins goes crazy brother do yourself a favor give it a listen
@KennyS Music Oh I have my friend. It's like if Bob Ross did music
takanaka is a legend!
Can you like, make a 5 minute loop of this and post it? It’s so good.
i need a full song of this!
This sounds like if you took the bass from every Eve song and isolated it, it's awesome.
For a normal bass player, something like this would be too much. But Ichika makes it the perfect amount somehow. Amazing.
Someone need to make tabs of this!
yeah
That’s pretty badass
I didn't like it. I loved it!
This guy is the living embodiment of "No matter how good you get at something, there will always be an Asian who can do it better than you." Great job!
This guy is great guitarist
MAKE THIS LONGERRRRRRR
There needs to be a full album bruh 😭🙏
My only gripe with this video is that it’s only 22 seconds long. Your playing is ear Candy and I need more of it!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Please play more of this music. It’s too short😢
That bass is too beautiful for words
"Bass riff that everyone likes"
*proceeds to nail a deceptively difficult but fun little solo*
With its wide range of styles and genres, the guitar offers endless
This goes perfectly with all my fellas
And I'm expecting a basic riff (UR DOING AMAZING THOO! KEEP IT UP BRUDDHA!!)
The bass too pretty 🤩 and playing also
Nice skills
This sound so amazing and awesome wish it was longers ❤❤❤
Very nice and amazing
Pretty sick 😮
Those harmonics at the end of bar 4 are so tasty.
What did I just see!!!!! Here I am thinking just Victor Wooton and Sharay Reed got all the skills
I have always wanted a bass this is so cool..
I love you for this my brother
Outstanding
i like this bass riff
Bass that everyone likes
I just started playing my electric guitar and i will say this with absolute conviction; I want to someday be just as skilled as you with the guitar, this was 110% Amazing.
It's true, I tested this riff out on several people( in the double digits) . Everybody liked it.
Your music is amazing, it was a pleasure to listen to it👍👍👍💘💘💝🤩
i love the slapping and the tapping! I wish i can do that...
I just played this on repeat for 4 hours
Nice
Holy shit that bass guitar is pretty.
