Mason hetherington yeah he has his thumb angled down a lot more like Flea, but nowadays he has his thumb angled upwards to allow double-thumb stokes, a bit more like Marcus Miller.
It is a passive bass, the difference resides in the electronics and in the pickups. Active pickups need a 9v battery to work, passive pickups don't! (There is also a difference in the tone , etc) :) hope it helps
Davie, in the event you start your own band or become a bassist in an existing one, you would do well!! My man, keep rockin' the house and be cool.....
I have been a rock/metal guitarist for 35 years. I can recognize true talent when I see it. You got it, buddy. Anyhow, are you using flatwound or roundwound strings? I tried to get a close-up, but I couldn't tell. Also, what equipment are you using for your videos? I have top-notch equipment, but I am at a loss as to how to pull off the splicing and dubbing of extra guitars and other instruments over the initial track. I also plan on inserting a plethora of vocals into my videos, so I'm wondering the same for the harmonic voices, as well. Thanks, man!
i believe those are roundwound strings if my eyes are to be believed. as for the extra audio, you can overlay multiple audio tracks when you edit, and as long as you sync they right it should come out like this. as for the music while you play if that helps you play, you can have it playing on a stereo or something, remove the ambient audio and only use the audio from sound output for the bass
Hello First of all, you're damn amazing When i see and hear that, i feel like sellin my bass cause i won't ever be that level What is your tuning on this song ? Greetings from France ;)
The groove was very good, but the bass tone and recording was outstanding. If you don't mind divulging your trade secret, what are you using to get such a clean, punching audio recording? Good work.
ima noob (old almost blind noob too) but that blending, that is just most awesomeness and like t m stevens speaks about putting the funk and rock together but in balance. you did just that i think. i enjoyed so very much i subscribed lol - but to answer i like both rock and funk just like this! this! brightest blessing to you and just keep blending them for us
I don't think so: okay, it's not an impro, but I can still fell some groove. Oh, almost forgot: if you can record a solo like this (it was 3 years ago, he was even younger) with the right amount of groove, call me.
Cuthbert Threepwood Look it's just a bit funny that such a static performance has 2.8m views. It's hardly a great example of bass playing, worthy of drawing in that kind of attention. Out of all those hits, I'd imagine a lot of fresh faces left with the impression of bass being boring.
that was awesome. nice to see 2 million people digging the bass. your style is very influential and is spreading like wild fire. keep doing what you do. hope to see you live, maybe at a festival someday. you should post show/venue info if you haven't already. a funk rock power band=excellence. thanks

I started playing about 3 years ago (now), in this video i was playing for over one year :)
noob
Bqube h
This is only 1 year of practice? Damn.
This is probably your least liked comment
what did you studied to do these grooves and left hand techniques?
Wow his slap technique has really changed since then.
Yeah, it's got quite smoother
Will Vickery he is doing the flea slap there (red hot chill peppers bass player)
Mason hetherington yeah he has his thumb angled down a lot more like Flea, but nowadays he has his thumb angled upwards to allow double-thumb stokes, a bit more like Marcus Miller.
Will Vickery he actually had to adjust a bit in this video bc he was tuned to d standard which makes the string much looser
Will Vickery His slap form is incorrect in this video because you can't double thumb slapping like that, The Bass Wizard made a video about it
D Standard :)
This videos should kill me........
6 year later

I liked and comment this comment section because of reasons

It is a Standard D tune :)
OMG :)
Man that tone is absolutely impeccable.

I just practice a lot at home :) I'm self taught
It's so weird seeing davie talk normal
Gigio
gaaaash the " :)" emoji brought me to life
how did you self teach your self?
CHECKMATE :)
This bass is passive! In this video i used an Hartke A35 amp :)
As a bass player I saw this video all those years ago and I have to say this is still one of the most creative bass playing videos I've ever seen
I remember when I saw this and it was just a regular "some guy who plays bass really good" video
Funking right! :D
Epic :D
I used a Q-Tron and a compressor! :)
cool ok
Já faz 5 anos que assisti esse vídeo e ainda continua sendo o meu solo de baixo favorito
And so, a legend was born
DUDE!!! I jammed to this for like 2 hours!! the power of funk is strong in this on! Awesome man, dont quit playing :D
Your fingers are dancing :-D
One bass can have so many styles it's phenomenal you're honestly so inspiring this made me get my bass and jam along with tabs
Why i'm naked?

funk bass has to be one of my absolute favorite sounds. If I can ever get good enough at bass to warrant it, I want to own a Davie signature bass.
Amazing!
Thank you!
Davie504 Dude, awesome.
Davie504 I love u for this
Doors
@@Davie504 it's almost 5M subs, can't wait for laugh reveal
On the rock parts i improvised principally on the minor pentatonic scale ;)
This is the first video I’ve ever watched from you, I was in fifth grade, I am now 20. Time flies
impressive but can u you play a 100 string bass?
Is you English ??? ;)
He’s at 24-strings right now, three years left
CAN U DO THIS ?!
c mamó.
ERROR
This one is still a classic after 12 years. Love it!
That is some legit old school funk-metal bass lines. Like when RHCP was on fire!
I only have been playing keyboard at school when i was a kid so... it was nothing serious, i can say i started playing music with bass! :)
Davie, in the event you start your own band or become a bassist in an existing one, you would do well!! My man, keep rockin' the house and be cool.....
0:00 A legend was born.
1:08 to 1:12 his hands actually do an MJ moonwalk. He lives!!
Amazing solo man. Kudos!
Man, it is awesome! I am not specialist in slap and funk, but my heavy-metal brain is bursted by your work! Keep it rock )
pink hot chile pepperoni
Jess Maleficient 😂😂😂😂👌
90% percent meme kids
10% people who actually know what a bass is
davie always manages to make me want to practice as much as i can!
This sounds so old, but at the same time, it's so amazing.
Very good, perfect
This song reminds me of dry noodles.
wtf
i concur fully
wtf why 😂😂😂😂
nadz lynch why not
After reading that comment it reminds of dry noodles too but only coz you said so
OMG!
very impressive
U make me want to play again :)
I love Bass Solos and this is one of the best Funk Solos ever

What is your tuning on this song ?
Greetings from France ;)
Dude. That riff was TASTY!!!
Best video ever.
Sei un mito, Alfa MITO.

dude your fingers are perfect for playing bass
You make it look so easy! I get the feeling that that bass would make awesome sounds regardless of what you play.
Very impressive... but what can you do about a "doom metal" bass solo?
2019?

I liked this song as much as i like my chair. PLOT TWIST : i love my chair.
This is straight up a funk metal riff. Love it!
this guy is probably one if the most influential bassist on RUclips
Sounds like Chili Peppers
Yeah like backwoods
Yeah like backwoods
80's and 90's Chili Peppers* 😭
They were just fucking amazing.
Not surprising as '(very) funky rock' is exactly their genre.
and he wake up without legs
why this sounds like DOOM soundtrack
Dude , I f-ing love it!! Listening to you tickles my belly! Like a roller coaster with steep hills!
Re-watching this makes me realise your progress through the years.. Keep up!
The groove was very good, but the bass tone and recording was outstanding. If you don't mind divulging your trade secret, what are you using to get such a clean, punching audio recording? Good work.
Very impressive, but what can you do with 5 years
like Prince would sing and play... FUNK N ROLL
The tuning on this solo is amazing very deep and funky !
Nice playing buddy ! Good job there !
0:27-0:32 Sounds Like Something Les Claypool Would Do.
I know right?
It's them tri-tones he does.

Funkaaaaa!!!!!!! Sounds awesome Davie.
this is one of my favourite solos on your channel :)
that make me want to played bass than guitar now LOL
same effect on me.
+Victor Gayou oh well
sound like Tool because of the drop D string lol
When davie had 0 skills editing

Davie is THE LEGEND of the bass
What bass model is that?
Fender Jazz Bass classic '60 Series :)
Beautiful bass man. Awesome sound. Your skills are one of the reasons why I am going to learn the bass.
+Tony M. (Heathen2364) me too sir im inspired to be good.
+Tony M. (Heathen2364) it doesn't matter....Go to the Ormsby Guitars facebook page and get in on their first GTRbass run, going to be awesome!
reply to a comment that is one year old and that has already got the answer...mh mh i see what you did here
how did he do that bass tone
Fender jazz bass my friend!
Electricienbatard oh i thought hes using some effects thanks anyway
And a q-tron
i think he uses flatwound strings
okarowarrior no, definitively not, he uses rotosound swingbass strings and that are roundwounds
What its the scale? Ty
This video is the first video I saw from you back in my high school days! I just couldn't believe how far you've become.
beyond a great bass player. that sound is incredible. great combination
Who is watching this in 2017 xD
Edelweiss Me! Hahahaha
+Ritchie's Fantastic Magical Parties i see you on everywhere on videos like these
Haha! Becuase I have no life.
Ritchie's Fantastic Magical Parties I wouldn't say that. Probably just because we both watch bass videos.
Thanks for the compliment ^^
nobody can listen the flagrant lack of groove? Yes he can makes his finger run all over the bass but the groove is not there I mean at all!
Don't worry you're not alone. It's a bit of a set piece, tried and true routines, no improv, static.
I don't think so: okay, it's not an impro, but I can still fell some groove. Oh, almost forgot: if you can record a solo like this (it was 3 years ago, he was even younger) with the right amount of groove, call me.
Cuthbert Threepwood Look it's just a bit funny that such a static performance has 2.8m views. It's hardly a great example of bass playing, worthy of drawing in that kind of attention. Out of all those hits, I'd imagine a lot of fresh faces left with the impression of bass being boring.
Dude, it's a bass, the bass IS the groove (sets the groove for guitar )
AGNEVABRO but what if I told you it is there
Freaking Awesome! Nice job.
Absolutely amazing Davide! Ultimate respect.
This is amazing! Keep up the excellent work!
you are one of the best amateurs (well just officially, i won't disrespect by saying "amateur" to you) i've ever seen... keep it up man!
Mind-blowing
NICE improvement since back then, man! Keep it up!! (:
That sounds great!!!.I'm waiting for my Fender jazz bass to come in and I hope it sounds as good. Some of those licks are on man. Good job!
Watched this 4 days ago on my laptop when I was just spamming through your videos, cant belive it came out so long ago :O
Great job bro! Really good playing!
Yeah!! That's some crazy funk!!! Can't stop moving my head!!!
Keep making your owns lines, I like that.
that was awesome. nice to see 2 million people digging the bass. your style is very influential and is spreading like wild fire. keep doing what you do. hope to see you live, maybe at a festival someday. you should post show/venue info if you haven't already. a funk rock power band=excellence. thanks
