GMC Forum _ CHILL OUT _ Squarepusher - Best Bass Player

Posted by: Vasilije Vukmirovic Jan 24 2010, 01:13 PM

Flea from Red Hot Chilli Peppers said this guys is the best bass player in the world, he is more famous for his electronic music compositions.

He's awesome!! I didn't know Flea was a fan though!!

Oh my, THAT was some fast funk playing... If he's not the best, he may be the fastest at least...
We can have a competition on this - guess the number of notes in the video !!!

Yeah, lots of notes, most of which are muted/slapped!

Dunno about fastest. There's this dude to remember:

I'd totally agree that squarepusher sounds better though, at least the ~90 seconds I was able to listen through.

Wow, that's impressive bass playing indeed

Posted by: Bogdan Radovic Jan 25 2010, 01:56 AM

He's got a good style! But from "fast" bass players Victor Wooten is still my favorite

I agree with Bodgan. Wooten has a certain flare that this guy doesn't have. Obviously skilled though. Some of those really fast bass players, in my opinion, aren't really playing things that are musical. It's rather hard to listen to once you've gotten past watching the technical aspect of the playing. *shrug*

Posted by: Vasilije Vukmirovic Jan 25 2010, 11:44 AM

Yeah Bogdan, Wooten is amazing!

Chopper sounding bass slapping lines !
I enjoy 2nd section more than the 1st - cleaner less notes and more intention in the expression!

wow! I really enjoyed the first guy's playing,

drummer is quite good too

Posted by: Damir Puh Feb 6 2010, 06:58 PM

That's some serious playing. I love it!
