[@jade050403]

Dear friends ! Just a few words to say that 1 / I thinck that when you present yourself as an artist ( which i intend to do ) , critics are a normal thing and i do accept them without any problem at all . I feel already blessed that some of you like my work and that we can share our passion for the music all toghether ... 2 / I thinck , regarding this precise video , that those critics are fair . I was coming back from Tahiti with 12 hours jet lag , 24 hours in the plane , cold in the morning and i could not play one note ... i am only human and I played like the worst in my life ( well i wish ! ) . I do believe that the groove is number one and , at the same time i try to work on my instrument to become a better player . I don ' t separate technique from groove and i see Music as a global and fascinating art . Please take care of yourself ., after all , we are all Bass Motherfuckaz . Pascal

Pascal, La dimension humaine est la plus importante dans toute démarche (artistique ou non). Parfois c'est divin, parfois ça l'est moins. Merci pour ce commentaire, humble et sincère. Tu fais partie de ceux qui inspirent et qui repoussent toujours un peu plus les limites, c'est un cadeau immense que tu nous fais !

[@laurentquintana262]

Pascal est un super bassiste, arrêtez donc de cracher du venin sans raison

[@restojon1]

Pascal, I absolutely love your playing. It inspires me so much as I return to playing the bass after many years of not playing. Many years ago, in the Docklands of East London Jean Michel Jarre played a famous concert. I watched from a nearby tower block as I was too young to come myself. A few years later in a record shop I saw an album by an artist connected to JMJ. That man was Patrick Rondat. I bought that album (Rape of The Earth) and ever since then have been a fan of yours. You and Patrick have made absolutely mind blowing music over the years. I'm grateful to you for your artistry. Merci, Monsieur Mulot. Merci.

[@philphil4137]

Ola pascal, je t'ai decouvert dans une methode de basse ( que j'ai perdue) fin des 90's me semble t il. Tu y expliquais super bien les ' 4 mouvements' pour le slap, Ravi de te revoir un peu. Bonne zique à toi.

[@floydlay9189]

Pascal you blew my mind thank you so much!

[@linusstoltz1207]

I can watch this for days, it’s like really amusing ASMR

[@bradallen1832]

What that tells me is his technical skills are so great, anyone can hire him to do something other than that crappy but amazing range of perfectly awesomely played music he's playing, and he'll turn your great music scores into real greatness.

[@harmonicsball89]

It almost doesn't matter that some folks here are making an attempt to try to tear this dude down. He will still be great tomorrow and the next day (and the next day). For those saying that bass is all about this or all about that, think bigger! Just let a musician feel it the way they feel it. If you play bass, play it the way you feel it. That goes for any instrument, or any art for that matter. Innovation isn't for everyone. I've played long enough to have noticed a correlation between the greats and open-mindedness, as well as the flip side of that where some of the not so greats become the easy-to-hates.

[@MUSIQUENTETE]

cher Pascal, je suis content de te retrouvez là. A chaque fois que je t'ai croisé ça a été un plaisir renouvelé. Mais la fois ou j'ai pu te voir te "chauffer" avant un concert, je t'avoue avoir été médusé tout en pénétrant dans un monde de sons, mélodies, harmonies qui m'a vraiment emmené dans ton monde musical qui était comparable à un véritable concert vertigineux de sonorité à la fois douce et caressante à l'oreiller et me transportant complètement ailleurs j'aurais voulu que ça ne s'arrête jamais. J'aimerais bien te revoir pour discuter plus longuement car ta manière de jouer va au delà du savoir faire ou de l'expérience tu as quelque chose qui va au delà du don qui est tout un monde de beauté. MICK.

[@MUSIQUENTETE]

Je persiste et je signe. J'espère que tu as pu faire le plein d'énergie en Amerique avec ton fils, comme j'aimerais te revoir comme RENAUD et toute l'équipe que j'aime si fort autant que la sique elle même vous etes ma famille de cœur et d'émotions votre univers est aussi le mien,bises à vous tous. MACK.

[@MUSIQUENTETE]

Je crois que la musique est un art ainsi qu'une manière de vivre et de ressentir les gens et les choses qui nous environnent un langage de toutes les musiques explique entre les gens faisant partie de cet univers. Toi tu sais parfaitement me plonger dedans et rapidement parceque je te trouve particulièrement investi et très communiquant particulierelent lors des prochaines jam's je ressens ces sensations avec plus de précisions. MERCI D'ÊTRE TOI. MACK

[@MUSIQUENTETE]

dear Pascal, I'm glad to find you here. Each time I've crossed it was a pleasure renewed. But the times I've seen you you "heat" before a concert, I confess to have been dumbfounded while entering a world of sounds, melodies, harmonies that really took me into your musical world that was comparable a real dizzy concert sound both soft and caressing the pillow and carrying me fully elsewhere I wished it never stops. I'd like to see you for further discussion because the way you play goes beyond the knowledge or experience you have something that goes beyond the gift that is a whole world of beauty. MICK.

[@jade050403]

Merci .

[@darumaleo]

i like the sound.. but i don't feel the groove...

[@bradallen1832]

It's a demo. It's intentionally crappy music and technically superb. He doesn't want anybody to steal his music, so he doesn't produce any; instead, he produces a great technical demo, saying, hey, I can turn YOUR great music scores into GREAT MUSIC with my technical prowess; HIRE me for what I'm worth.

[@ReggiePostlethwaite]

I like the grooves, the sound and I also think I would be friend of Pascal, I'm pretty sure I can learn from him, so it's positive. Learn to be positive, being against any other never leads to victory.

Pascal I half to ask Vigier make the best necks ever right? No trust rod and the 90/10 concept with carbon injection into the wood for the neck! I’ve always wanted a Vigier Guitar and Bass Guitar! Great playing and cool stuff!

[@aliriohernandez8458]

For those who say that the camera got sped offf: Check "Bass Lesson Pascal Mulot - Slap Bass Full" to see how the VHS cassette was sped off, too...

[@johnny0468]

i admire your technical ability pascal,,,your brilliant clearly !! but its all about writing bass lines that enhance a song and people remember.! x

[@basstheworldofficial]

So glad to see you’ve got it all figured out. Maybe you can give him a masterclass

[@johnny0468]

BassTheWorld.com i didnt mean to offend you- sorry if i did 😔 ... pascal is an amazing bassist thats pretty clear to anybody - sometimes less is more i hope when you come off your period you see i wasnt attacking pascal at all i think he is fabulous ... wow lighten up ...😁

[@basstheworldofficial]

Maybe you need some context: This was a spontaneous jam during a music fair.

[@johnny0468]

BassTheWorld.com your right pal i do apologise for the snippy comment, i and shouldnt have said that your probably a great bloke and i know when im wrong and i was in the wrong 😞 sorry again ...

Gorgeous bass man! Love your speedy slap technique too!

[@charlescowan6121]

Damn cliff! That's a lot of denim. Great playing too!

[@GiovaniMoreiraG]

It's sad how people are not hearing it

[@KnollanTanteo]

That injury he showed at the end, I used to get a lot of that in the past, that's why I now tape my index finger every time I play :)

[@bobma2874]

The Best Mr Mulot 🔊💥🎶🌟⚡️🎶👍

[@johnnys8393]

Nice bass tone, amazing hand speed/dexterity and some interesting techniques used; but in this video it all sounds like it is mashed together to make a senseless mess. I don't doubt he could kick my ass thoroughly on bass though lol

[@pahan3335]

are you kidding me? he played just a crazy groove ,he played tapping,he played fingerstyle,he played just a crazy slap, which no one can play like that! I have reviewed a huge number of different bassists and I don't know anyone who can play so fast and keep this tempo for 3 minutes,a virtuoso!

[@julscaptured]

very nice groove

[@modestosanchez0781]

brutal brutal y sangrante jejeje.... muy bueno.... un virtuoso del bajo .... excelente... excepcional....

Thats a low action bass right there. Nice hand speed!

[@jijia1097]

chapeau bas pascal si j avais ta classe et ta technique je serais le plus heureux des bassistes

Even my cat enjoyed that one. Seriously got up on my lap and watched.

[@pierrekiss9320]

waoww amazing ! et la main droite ! ça envoie! et dans le tempo!!180?210?

[@LivingUpstate]

Once he gets to slapping its like he cant help but speed up. I know a solo is a solo but damn. Slapping sounds sick at a good 80-100bpms as well.

[@panayiotis131]

Now that was very tasty, realy enjoyed it! More videos on the sunshine please!

[@phenixreturns]

amazing player!! famous in the whole world, teacher and he played metal with satan jokers (an amazing band) played with Vai, Steve Lukather and others and very sympathic too

[@guitarioTrio]

Formidable!

toujours au top Pascal

[@juanrombado8296]

is that black wristband there on purpose to muffle the strings slightly or something?

[@pecavallo]

A lot of good chops poorly glued together with no musicality.. I have seen some videos with Pascal doing amazing music, this is not one of them.

[@ryankurschat6579]

sometimes you have to find the musicality in it, it doesn't sit right there in your face.

[@kilbo98]

Yeah and his internal tempo fluctuates so much on this that it sounds awkward.

[@kilbo98]

Plus he keeps doing the same groove with kind of annoying fills in he middle

[@slapman92]

kilbo98 criticism is always easier...

[@kilbo98]

Alex sto Yup

[@brianrandall3795]

Being a drummer I wouldn't know too much about this, but in drumming when I jam by myself I always try to put a story into it in some way, you just need more emotion, you need to make some changes, tempo or anything, and change it to where there's a beginning middle and end that make someone wanna cry and smile, that's what I try to do anyways... not that I'm any good at it.

[@cardboardcoyote4730]

hey people whats with all the hate. this video is short of 4 minutes, and what a journey it is. it’s not the best bass solo but check the control of harmonics and the muted slap pattern. get on a level with it

[@meennaya]

I love this sound3

[@streetbeers6536]

Why is the bass guitar such an underestimated instrument, after all, it's harder to be "skilled" or "talented" on a bass then it does on guitar

[@eclipseb3]

Okay first, don't read the comments. Half of them are people who clearly have no idea how gifted and impressive this guys playing is. Was all excited to see everybody praising this guy in the comments, and was caught off guard by most of the people on here trying to say that this guy doesn't have rhythm? That he needs a metronome? Or the funniest one that he "speeded" up the video, and yes I said speeded up because people like to pick on others but can't seem to fix their own speech first. Anyway, open your eyes and ears people. Ya just arn't getting it obviously.

[@aidanengel875]

Can somebody PLEEEEASE tell me what kind of bass that is?

+César Avila Está tocando a través de una interfaz, nadie escucha lo que está tocando, además, la gente es variopinta, es decir, sería extraño que se concentrasen muchos fans de Pascal en un sólo lugar.

+Carlos Gallegos Me refiero a que con el simple hecho de ver un bajo es suficiente para ver alguien está tocando el instrumento más hermoso del mundo jaja, lo siento es que amo ser bajista :)

Gregor, just checking - did you know that in the description after "Thanks for watching" it says "Gregor Fris - basstheword.com" instead of basstheworld.com. I've noticed on a few videos now so I thought I should mention it.

[@basstheworldofficial]

oops... thanks for the heads up! gonna change a ton of video descriptions now ;)

[@haraldpettersen3649]

Fantastic !.

[@rired2005]

Sorry, but the more I look at the folks in the background moving around, I'm quite convinced this video has been speeded up. Not saying it's still not awesome.....

[@russmadhatter]

rired2005 It's not sped up at all, lol some slap bass players can play faster than that. Sorry but that comment was not thought through or there is envy because you can't do it (if of course you are a bass player).

[@smarthalayla1549]

rired2005 Sure...

[@michaelkim690]

There are other videos on basstheworld where they are slapping and popping as fast.

[@rcafiero]

ahahahahahah, wtf are you saying???? People behind do walk at normal speed. Do you have eyes or not???

[@berpmorph2946]

This is clearly speeded up, but only in the first half of the video

[@Phalanx-Band]

Hey slap man very nice bass player!!!! what bass guitar is it?

[@slapman92]

this is a VIGIER bass, french brand

[@HasanWarrior]

All you guys saying negative things, I bet you’re nowhere near this guy’s level of play and so of course have to fall to negativity. I’d love to see all of your videos. Let me guess, you’re playing all cover tunes or nothing more, than 1-4-5 blues. Give me a break! Post your playing!!

[@rickygarcia5662]

I don't think they are attacking his skill He is good but after a few bars you feel like saying do some thing else.

[@bssm9x24]

Very cool sound!amazing

[@titofgreen2341]

ça sonne ...mais très gros travail dérrière ...pas en un jour ...et le talent qui va avec..bravo...il met la basse très haut

[@Saxement]

Nice chops and all, but that's about it for me.

[@aliriohernandez8458]

Seriously? People here say this guy needs a metronome, that he needs groove, that he needs to slow down a bit and to stop slapping cus "that's not music". As Richard Dawkins would say: "that's spectacularly stupid". Haters gonna hate. Maybe those people are just used to listening to things like U2, Nirvana, Bon Jovi: music that doesn't have downbeats or keeps the same tempo along. Nonetheless, the guy is improvising, not giving a concert and if one still doesn't grasp his level of musicality (dynamics, groove, accent, technique, thumbing, etc) then I guess you have a better ear than Steve Vai, Steve Lukather, Blues Saraceno and Patrick Rondat, since this guy has worked with them. People who critisize him do not have the level of proficiency or simple restrict themselves to one technique or genre. This man does not have many restrictions if your ears and fingers are suit to listen to him carefully.

[@tedspens]

+Alirio Hernandez They're just jealous because they can't play like that. ;-)

[@kylewise1190]

So the more experienced you are the more your solos are just muted pops?

[@HoxVox]

Perfect muted pops are what splits assholes from good bassists, in my humble opinion. It's where the bass player try to feed both melody and rhythm ALONE as having a drummer side by side.

[@bradallen1832]

Yes; see my other replies.

[@pahan3335]

there was a lot of music even during the slap,an unreal groove
