Kid's really good.

CSB:

I saw Victor Wooten play parts of the Seinfeld Theme (along with a few other TV themes) a while back. I can't remember them all, but there was a little Gilligan's Island chucked in there that got the crowd singing along.

Very weird show.

Wolfgang?

Oldie but goodie.

A scientific expedition disembarks from its plane at the final outpost of civilization in the deepest Amazon rain forest. They immediately notice the ceaseless thrumming of native drums. As they venture further into the bush, the drums never stop, day or night, for weeks. The lead scientist asks one of the natives about this, and the native's only reply is "Drums good. Drums never stop. Very bad if drums stop." The drumming continues, night and day, until one night, six weeks into the trip. Then one day all of a sudden the drums stop. Immediately the natives run away screaming in terror. The scientists grab one boy and demand "What is it? The drums have stopped! What happens when the drums stop?" The terrified boy then answers: " . . . BASS SOLO!!!"

i have a friend who plays EXACTLY like that, but he's about twice as old. that kid is going to only get even more amazing, and i'm sure we'll see more from him in the not too distant future.

This is not a bookmark so I can steal this later....

I just started playing bass this summer. I have fun, but I'll probably retire before I can improvise like that kid.

FriarReb98: I won't be impressed until he can play the theme to Night Court.

That.

Phrasing subby, phrasing.

Not impressed.

why does Iron Maiden always put up their legs like that?

Guuberre: The best bass in a TV theme ever.

That is not the Theme from Night Court

Token, how many times do we have to go through this. You're black, you can play bass.

Came looking for this, leaving satisfied.

Best show of the 70s imo.

AdolfOliverPanties: A six string bass is an abomination.

The Ox wasn't afraid. Note that this is an old photo and he has an 8 string custom he is showing off.

But I will agree that the most memorable bass lines were done on 4 strings.

Do you play? Can you recommend an instructional book, CD or DVD? I just started a few months ago. Work/school/family don't allow me time for real lessons, so I wind up trying to learn off YouTube. I've played acoustic guitar since I was a kid, so I'm not new to music. But for me bass is a whole different animal, and I wouldn't call my self 'intermediate'. If it makes any difference, I have an Ibanez SR300M and a Fender Rumble 30. I also have a Cry Baby wah, just for fun.

Why does every amazing, young bass player play in street bands that perform craptacular new-jazz bullshiat

Derwood: Why does every amazing, young bass player play in street bands that perform craptacular new-jazz bullshiat

Probably because most rock bands really don't want a hot bass player - they want someone like Bill Wyman or Michaal Anthony - solid, can mesh well with the drummer and lay a good foundation for the song.

Guys like Geddy and Ox and Claypool are the exception in rock - in jazz they're the standard.

I just started playing again after 25 years, was kind of not given the option to wuss out after an Ibenez bass and practice amp were thrust upon me and I was basically kidnapped and taken to a potluck to play before 200+ people....... greatest night of my life once I realized that my love of what I have listened to traveled to my playing, dexterity was by no means good but I found my groove..!

I told my wife I would forsake the groupies if I could only be a part of a band that could make a decent run at "symptom of the universe", cannot describe the joy I felt in those 5 minutes...

Esperanza is smoking hot, has a Grammy, teaches at Berklee and is a monster on the double bass.

Rocksmith now has a bass expansion to their guitar teaching game. Instead of playing Guitar Hero or Rockstar with a plastic toy instrument, you plug your guitar or bass directly into your PS3 using a USB adapter and learn to play the real thing.

Thanks! I'd never heard of this. It looks like fun. My son has a play station, too!

hottest 13 year old? Someone needs to take a seat over there. Oh no wait, it was a 13 year old boy and subby is probably a woman so it's alright.

The game only recognizes 4-string basses. Which is an annoyance to me since I own a 5-string. It still works, you just ignore the B string.

Bands with a lead bass player, usually sound like they need a bass player.

/dislike bass a tone that sound like a dog farting

I play bass. Really well. That kid's got chops, but I was thinking, '4th floor. Bedding, appliances and men's wear. Going up.'

Cue the argument for how great a guitar player Cobain was: it was interesting.

The_Philosopher_King:
The Ox wasn't afraid. Note that this is an old photo and he has an 8 string custom he is showing off.

I don't know shiat about gee-tars, but wouldn't an 8-string bass be like a 12-string guitar, in that your still playing it exactly like a 4-string, just 2 strings at once for harmonic purposes?

That said, I sure would be surprised if there wasn't a 5 or 6 string bass somewheres in that picture.

There are 8 string basses that are built like 12 string guitars (pairs of strings close together creating harmonics)



There also come with each string tuned independently like so which obviously offers a wider range



If you really want to get silly, go with this monstrosity



18 strings.

Yes, she used to be. However, that pic was from a few years ago. Below is a more recent photo. It looks like she could afford a few sammiches in last last few years. But, I don't care. She still plays well.

Did someone say hottest 13 year old?

It was actually made using an electronic drum module, the Alesis D4
