This might be the lowest rated famous comment

I love bands where the bass actually has a proper role, not just to harmonise
Bass is an amazing Instrument.
bought a bass just cuz of webster, Digiorgio and this channel
I absolutely loved the sound of the bass when you was playing the chords...theres something about doing chords on fretlesses that are absolutely magical and it sounds very well mixed.
You've must a spent quite a while with that bass since you did your other Obscura cover because now your intonation is right where it needed to be and now you sound flawless.
Great Job!!!
That bass is a piece of art.
This is where I learnt about a fretless bass guitar, it sounds so amazing. Boom Boom Boom!
This has to be the most beautiful bassline in metal ever! Using a fretless in this genre is just...VERY brave! And to use it in such a melodic way as well...this song is always mind bending, especially those octave slides!
Love the sound of that bass.
Your videos never cease to amaze me, my favourite track of the album :)
Muy buen Cover. Obscura es lo máximo!!!
vow dude u never cease to amaze me with ur skill
You get a completely different, warmer, smoother sound, and a very slight buzz (like fret buzz, but on wood so it can sound very pleasing)... and the ability to do much more gradual and expressive slides up and the fingerboard. it's definitely something worth trying out at least once!
jesus christ wow! You continue to blow me away with your talents man.
epic bass playing + awesome ass guitar + epic guitar playing + roaring vocals = OBSCURA !!
@CannibalisticZombie amazing cover! this is a wonderful song. the lyrics are amazing, as is every element that the members of obscura incorporated in this masterpiece=)
This is one of the better covers I've seen on youtube. You're extremely skilled dude! Keep it up!
Damn your technique is brilliant rest strikes are sick dude they're are so hard for me to get good and im loving the bass tone and bass its fucking sick, Obscura is one hell of a band and you did fucking awesome dude, so happy im subbed to you!
I don't play bass, but I always feel inspired to play my guitar after watching your videos. Please cover Centric Flow!
easily the best metal bassist on youtube.....but does he 'got the funk'
Awesome cover man! I seen these guys live a 2 months back and damn those fretless basses are sexy in person. I play guitar, not bass but I definitely respect bassists in genereal.
Can't believe you got this by ear!
wow man, your fretless playing has really improved since the anticosmic video
Your intonation on the fretless has really came along. Well done.
very nice! catchy bass tune and i like how it stands alone for the most part and doesnt blend in...
That bass is perfect. I'm sure i couldn't tell if you missed something or messed up but IF you did you improvised super super well.
Kudos.
now you are a lot better with this fretless bass, you improved a lot!!!
This is one of the best bass videos I've seen! I really liked when you threw in some power chords too, they sounded great on the fretless. Nice phrases overall.
very good, I am of México , and look your covers, its very sorprendent
Ya somos varios man ahuevo
@Guyverhoeven The 3 finger gallop is a variation of 3 fingers, but he is switching between 2 fingers, and 3 for the triplets and 3 for the gallops :)
You're amazing, i watched almost every video of yours and I'm very impressed, keep it up.
sounds badass man, great cover, great bass, awesome bassline, keep it bro
Great playing dude. So much respect for figuring out the basslines by ear. Noticed that one part of the guitar solo 3:39-3:42 is just like from Cynic's Veil of Maya.
You just made me discover Obscura. This is an amazing day. Thanks. :D
@leifericson923 What you do is get the fretboard of your fretless bass epoxied and it protects the fretboard and is safe for any kind of string
epic cover, epic bassist, epic bass, epic everything about a.j
a.j you must command hell dude
Really great job on this one, it sounds better than the Anticosmic cover.
slight intonation issues but nothing at all serious... your still getting alot better bud, ive been watching you since day one and i see improvements with every video, keep it up
There are so many reasons this is amazing. It's technical death metal on bass, it's a fretless bass, you learned by ear, which learning anything by ear in metal seems impossible to me, but you do it on bass so it seems even harder, so it's much harder to hear, not to mention it's a FRETLESS BASS... Idk if I'm making sense, but it's amazing; just know that.
i love the sound of your bass
Parece ser que soy el unico mexicano viendo esto , esto lo escucho al 100 con audífonos , me gusta que truene en esto
Ya somos dos
Gracias a el agarré el bajo
@@mitchellerodhy1757 , eres una chico o una chava
@metalada69 Thanks! it was not easy to play this song haha but some how i managed to do it.
this is the first time i've ever came across your videos... And now i feel the need to watch alll of them.
good cover!:]]
love that bass chous in this song, its the most memorial song from the cosmogenesis album, nicely executed :D
damn i just had my face melted... \m/ very nice man wish we could find a sick bassist such as yourself! i'll just hope you are in a band with chops like that! \m/ keep on rockin
What Margolo said. Though, I can't use my pinkie, but I can use my ring finger fairly well. It's all about practice and building up the strength. It took me around 3 months to build up strength to a decent level and it's flatlined as of now because it's at an optimal level. The main issue once your fingers are strong enough is getting them in time.
It looks so easy compared to your cover of Cancrum Ortis... but it's very, VERY difficult D: and you play that so well, like always
nice bass playing man...just gonna start a black metal band myself. i play bass myself...your an insperation man!!!
@SpartanLaserCanon I think it sounds more spacey than oldschool.
The muted tone they have fits to space shit real well.
couldn't hurt. one less guitar player and more bass. It's what the world wants.
fretless bass? you're beyond amazing *_*
this is an amazing good looking bass with an incredible sound & the fretless...well what else can i say...it's spectacular!
@aceenigmax It's the classical pose, not only is finger plucking somewhat more accurate for some people BUT it also helps play more technical stuff, I do not play bass though but this was the case for me with both acoustic and electric guitars. Again, for me playing like this works well for technique so it's purely personal, and yes it gets bothersome to play like this sometimes.
That's really nice played dude... Impressionante
beautiful job!
Excellent rendition and very impressive.
@skull9111 With lots of patience and first knowing the rule of a thumb for fretless being that the notes peak at where the fretline (aka the actual fret) would lie. Fretless does NOT work the same as fretted. You have to be careful where you place your fingers as the notes shift with the slightest shift of the finger positioning. Just keep your eyes peeled at the fret side dot markers and picture the in between lines as they would lie on a fretted. Or just get a lined fretless for ease of use.
These little jems from all the trolls never cease to make me chuckle a little. Grow up.
Theres people on facebook recommending your for Obscuras bassist replacement. And I couldn't agree more. Hopefully they'll be shooting a message your way.
Nice work dude, I really really envy you for playing fretless so damn good hehe
For me this song is one of the best of this album, kinda have a Death and Chuck Schuldiner + Steve DiGiorgio feeling in my opinion... and everytime I watch one of your videos It makes me wanna grab my bass and play the hell out of it!!
Greetings from Amazon - Brazil !!!
Constructive criticism. Your timing was pretty off on a lot of parts, as well as your pitch. You hit a LOT of notes that were so flat they made me cringe a bit. Practice those parallel octaves more, because every single time you did them you had maaajor pitch discrepancies.
Colin Spliff This video is over 6 years old. Guys one of the best bass players on RUclips with a Warwick endorsement. Criticism is a bit late.
Make your own cover
la bestia dofus, that's one of the worst arguments, "Make your own version".
Look, when I'm in a restaurant, I have right to say I don't like the served dish and I don't have to be the chef.
This guy's comment was really OK, because he pointed out the flaws of the cover and I can completely see his point.
except in the restaurant you fucking pay for it you dumbass (I think this will help you evaluate the importance of your words, thank you)
ur mom so if you get something for free and it’s with mistakes you should just take it because it’s for free?
Oh wow, great song choice- I have no idea how you bang out so many of these! I haven't done any in forever, ugh...
Also, I get to see Obscura live tomorrow, woo!
sound quality is a lot better than on anticosmicoverload. good work i dont know how people play fretless instruments
This sounds better than orginal version!!!
@caramon770 No, I really doubt it's an Ibanez. First off, the only fretless Ibanez 6 string is the Ashula, which is actually a hybrid (Low B string to the D string are fretted, and the G and C strings are fretless) that looks nothing like this bass. Also, a LOT of brands have that headstock shape. The only bass headstock more common than that shape is the classic Fender P bass headstock. And the most common Ibanez headstock shape is the super small SR shape.
Thanks for the help though :D
@FokasSk8er you just press the strings directly down on the fretboard, intonation is difficult, but sound production is easy enough because incredibly low access is easy to have while the good tone remains (funnily fretless basses dont get loads of fret buzz :b)
This is pretty awesome. I'm impressed. Like the shirt too, haha.
Amazing cover on a beautiful bass...subscribed ...
@Guinesso I'm pretty sure it's for tone, and obviously sliding is going to sound way better. I play guitar though I'm not
completely sure. I believe it's because of tone.
Dame this was awsome beyond words. Fretless is so Metal!!^_^
It all works differently for different people though so use what ever is most comfortable and thus safest for each individual, I find you have 2 fingers worth of recovery time as it were for each finger to be ready to strike again, with 3-2-1-2 you remove that and each finger has only one fingers worth of time to recover so you can achieve a lower strike rate over all In my experience
@leifericson923 A little bit, if you play with roundwounds and dig into the neck a lot with bending, but it's nothing a little sanding won't take out. Rosewood scars up more than Ebony or maybe even Ebonol will. Ebony will barely scar due to srtings
One with the instrument. let the music flow through you. =) this man is a Jedi.
I like how you do your octive chords with your picking hand
Holy crap, thats friggin amazing. Without frets I'd just be randomly guessing where to put my fingers. Have you ever considered doing a song by Cynic? They have pretty awesome basslines, imo.
You nailed the tone.
@MorbidAzagthothDeath He's playing a Brice HXB-406 6-String Nat Bubina Fretless. Just google it, Rondo music sells it, cheap for a 6 string fretless too!
John Myung uses both,
And simple mathematics validates the numbers and look at an anatomical diagram of ones hand. the tendons close from pinky to first finger (Mark Michelle - bass player talks about this in his 3 finger demo)
3-2-1-2 3-2-1-2 3-2-1-2 3-2-1-2 means the 2nd finger is doing twice as much as the other two fingers.
Also Sheehan rarely uses 4 fingers, (met him numerous times and I'm a fanboy haha!)
When I started, I just started senselessly plucking. Clearly, not the way to go. What you're going to want to do is put on a metronome and play to it with your ring finger being 1, your middle being 2, your index being 3, and when you return to the ring finger, that will be 4 and it continues. Sit with a metronome and practice this. After a while, they'll become stronger and you'll be able to play in time with them. You can also practice triplets until you're ready to move to 16th notes.
@explo32wunderwaffe He uses 2 AND 3, he uses 3 when needed, like for 16th notes
Kudos on figuring this out by ear, but going that fast, there's no way anyone is going to get the intonation 100% perfect, and I noticed a few notes were definitely off. That being said, you did way better than I (and a good portion of bassists on youtube for that matter) could hope to do any time soon.
Also, what brand is that bass? I have a fretted that looks a lot like it. Same shape (body, headstock, etc), bubinga top, brass nut, and huge heel.
good job man. Killer tone.
@Aprch He's used 8(currently 3), he has them all list out on his page. if you want to see what they are. and most aren't terribly expensive
damn dude, obscura got a new bass player not too long ago im surprised you didnt get the job
@satyrludi It's a Brice HXB-406 fretless, I had the fretted model and for the money you can't find better. Rondo music usually has them
Great sounding bass dude
Tight! I always thought this song could pass as a Death song. Sounds a bit different than the others on Cosmogenisis.
great cover
I gotta take a look at fretless basses.. look like fun basses to play
@ACowWithTetanus Tabs for a fretless should be the same as for a fretted, the playing style is pretty much the same but without the frets (which is why you'll obviously need to be very precise).
fucking brilliant, thanks for uploading this man.
I love your tone !
Man I can just say I love your playing! Its fucking awesome and so sadisfying! Keep it heavy man and continue! the one who dislikes this is just fucking jealous because you can´t stand this awesomeness!
@wbwillie
Obscura's stuff is tuned to A for the bass AFAIK
@ArseLoad0fMetal666 He's a death metal bassist, he broke away from that stereotype years ago.
He traded the funk for brutality, and for that we are thankful. There's a whole world full of pocket players, but ones like this are few and far between. Rejoice, brother.
Awsome job!! finally a metal bass player tht doesnt use a pick!!
@bassplayer18a7x8 Thank you, and yeah they really do, this song is a lot of fun to play.
i love your covers dude!
@TheMokomi300
For bass, the only function it serves is to show off and play really fast. :P
Which he accomplishes majorly!
I've never met anyone who doesn't alternate between index and pinky.
But then again, I'm mostly a jazz bassist, metal is it's own beast! :D
Thanks :) Bought the album today. Awesome album
Just Wicked! I love it! Keep up the incredible work!
If you train yourself to have a disciplined rigth hand it's fine either way however 3-2-1-3 has even wear on all fingers and also if you train to have your ringer finger moving before/as the first finger strikes through the string you get an entirely consistant strike rate
4 beats split into semi-quavers again:
3-2-1-3 2-1-3-2 1-3-2-1 3-2-1-3
the ring finger strikes once more than the other two fingers.
I find as well with 3-2-1-2 the middle finger has to pull back then rake again so is slower
