THE GOAT IS BACK

[@Codyyyyyyyyyy]

So clean, man. I've been trying to learn some of these on bass myself and you make it look so effortless.

[@thecitypopbassist]

thank you so much Cody! these lines are really quite challenging, esp when it comes to hitting the pocket just right. keep at it though and you'll be able to get them down!

[@FLAVAHMUSIC]

I think this guy should have been born 40 years earlier so he could play the bass in every single Japanses city pop song.

[@jayjayyjet9703]

I love how passionate he is about the music, you can tell by his face and the way he sways and how awesome he plays. You have a new admirer :)

[@pstrokeslibsarctic]

favorite bassist on KZbin

[@poisonedlife]

Great work, man. It seems most Japanese music (pop, ballad, citypop, even J-rock and metal) uses Jazz basses in their songs, it suits it very well ❤

[@thecitypopbassist]

Wow thank you so much! I've been playing since i think about 2005/2006, so I think it's been about sixteen years now? Man i'm getting old haha

[@perfume-tengoku2455]

Hot Sand by Piper made me buy a bass! So in honor of Piper, I named my bass “Sand”

[@PlaysNitch]

that's so dope man

[@thecitypopbassist]

Aw this is so cool! I hope it’s been a fun journey so far!

[@datdeerdude5139]

@@thecitypopbassist it’s been awesome! There’s nothing better than the feeling of growing as a musician, like finally getting a lick you’ve been working on all clean or the realization that you can improvise now because of all the scales and arpeggios you’ve worked on

[@ash52852]

I’m so glad I found a bass cover of Hot Sand somewhere!!! Does anybody know where I could find a bass tab for it so I could learn it myself? I’m not sure if I’d have the attention span to figure it out by ear 😓

[@karta7231]

love those amazing captions as well as the bass playing (and how you groove with the music hehe)!!

[@Fedethedangerous95]

Thank you, this video made my day significantly better, your choices made me smile so much! I would like to pick a favourite among those I didn't know but while they all represent different moods and atmospheres they're also "classic" citypop vibes! I also love how you comment on the composition/arrangements/formation , it's entertaining and it shows great culture

[@월급도둑-r4g]

I never expected I can hear the bass cover of all or nothing. Really thx 😄

[@InkyRail450]

[@wooshincho4597]

so dealicious

[@daolchang]

yessss, btw it would be great to know a bit more about your setup bc your tone is goals

[@thecitypopbassist]

Hi! It’s a constellation of things, but it’s basically bass > balanced out on my GK200MB amp > interface (preamp bypassed) > Logic. I do some mixing (light EQ/compression) to the song to get the bass to sit similarly to the original, and then mix to taste. Beyond that, good technique and a well set-up bass will always get you good tone, and that goes for every kind of bass!

[@daolchang]

@@thecitypopbassist nice

[@thecitypopbassist]

daolchang I’m going to make a video regarding my bass (actually, new bass now - I’m not using this one anymore)! But for some guidance I am using here a heavily modded Squier Vintage Modified 70’s Jazz Bass. Headstock paint done by the previous owner, further modded by myself with Fender Am STD Jazz Bass pickups with cream covers and a Gotoh 201-b Himass bridge. Brings up the playability and overall sound close to 70’s jazz bass territory, although I suspect the CV and Player Jazz Bass can get closer. Either one will likely be fine, it’s really looks and the name on the headstock at that point. If you like this sound I suggest you stick to official Fender/Squier at this price range as a lot of the sound depends on correct pickup placement - the Corts are a little bit off as I understand them. I would also take a little bit of time to learn how to set up your bass (action/intonation), or look for a tech/luthier who can do it, it makes playing a lot easier and it’ll sound a lot better too!

[@fiasworkshop]

making me wanna get back on guitar. city pop has really been the only genre i find myself coming back to

[@gugugaga2485]

Hey, you are really skilled and i love all your covers. Really good job. I m enjoying! I just a little confused about the Michael McDonald keyboard part. What is your meaning about that? I can pretty sure that part is similar to What A fool Believes. I m not sure Michael McDonald involved in the production of Shyness Boy or not. You mean Shyness Boy's producer keyboardist maybe refer Michael or Sampled or what. Sorry for my broken english.

[@thecitypopbassist]

Hi! Michael McDonald wasn't involved in the production of Shyness Boy - I was just noting that the part sounded a lot like the piano part in What A Fool Believes!

[@rebeccadraper1171]

Can’t stop listening to your bass covers they’re so niceeeee, can’t wait to hear more!! Have a good day!
