Lemmy is a primordial force. imo in his hands the bass is not so much an instrument as it is a shamanic device to invoke the powers of the ancient Druids. I use the present tense because he is not gone. He simply exists in another form now.

Like, I knew the melody, and I simply could not detect it anywhere in what he was playing.

Really happy with you including basket case in the video

[@AfferbeckBeats]

1:27 I've been rocking a set of TI flats on my bass for 16 years and they do still sound amazing! I should probably buy a second set in case they disintegrate or something.

[@daveeddy2402]

Just boil them...

[@jowlorenz9555]

Yeah --- nothing worse than hollow tinny new bass string tone.

[@moistgooseberry]

[@tmnm711]

[@RC32Smiths01]

It's always so great to know simply how you have a variety of skills and techniques for all kinds of genres and styles! Cheers!

[@s.e.n3264]

I'm not a bass player, but I injured my arm while at work. And I haven't been playing for about a year. I can definitely feel the difference, I've completely lost it. So #8 hit home for me real hard

[@Ox5f3759df]

4:00 pretty cool to hear the new Godspeed You! Black Emperor piece

[@samuelesaba]

I'm defenetly the crazy faces one, but I dance (actually I move around pretending to dance) too🤣🤣🤣

[@samhouston1979]

the “too many pedals” guy reminds me of when Glenn Hughes would play bass solos as a guest on That Metal Show

[@currykingwurst6393]

I'm genuinely impressed. Didn't think you'd actually get to the type of bassist I am. But there I am. Number 15. Only got 5 basses I can't play, but it's me!

[@olivierjacquet]

Play them!!!! 😙😙😙

[@cookiemobers5650]

Hey, I have 4 Schecter basses... that I can play.. fairly well. Just pick one up... play!

[@charleshewitt6180]

Hilarious! Great video :)

[@aidanmccabe6866]

Crazy faces guy always, Musicman Stingray with distortion pedal and the faces come alive

[@dustfang5422]

The avant garde bassist is what I sound like when I try to be the guy who practices a lot. I'm not good. =D

[@CharlesBerthoud]

🤣 just keep at it!

[@Andehirt]

Keep practicing
