Yeah, I guess that would be if Ryan Martinie played for Cryptopsy.

[@eeyorehaferbock7870]

@@phoenixpruett2097to be fair, I imagine that both Ryan and Eric Langlois were influenced by Les Claypool, aka the all-time king of slap bass in rock.

The way you play the bounce riff lives in my head eternally.

[@nationalgord]

This video is proof that fretless bass is superior to fretted bass.

[@SecondaryHomunculus]

I've been playing metal on a fretless since about 1993, and got a lot of shit for it back in the day. So glad to see it used as often as it is now. 🤘🤘

[@dizleran9276]

The fret less sounds amazing 👌🏼

[@coltontaff3640]

Badass! Best Cryptopsy song ever, specifically for those bass lines. Thanks!

[@moinmoin9450]

Wow, the amount of skill you demonstrate in this video is truly amazing, great cover! Sometimes I'm wondering how people even write stuff like that. xD Anyway, I immediately slapped like, would be great if you covered Can't Stop next.

[@eeyorehaferbock7870]

Even as someone who’s not the biggest fan of Cryptopsy (Lord Worm’s vocals often just annoy me unfortunately), I can’t believe you managed to make this song sound even more chaotic than it already is without sounding bad. If anything, the sound of a fretless bass kind of reminds me of Martin Fergusson’s tone on Blasphemy Made Flesh.

This video and this sound takes you to the darkest and sweetest corners of the imagination 🌙

LEGENDARY. I'm getting a fretless soon, this is great inspiration!

[@alexderlago]

Love this album and great interpretation.

[@zkkrhfhska]

disgustingly good

[@iandodd3197]

You always hype me up to play bass!! \m/ my favorite Crytopsy song!

[@matth9321]

one of my favorite cryptopsy songs, great interpretation. Do you set your action super low on your basses to help get that tone?

[@jaaz.handss]

get the neck as straight as possible, and the action will always play super low. necessary for keeping everything consistent

[@MrCheese1572]

wow, this is truly outstanding, excellent job \m/ congrats for the t shirt :)

Jesus man, that was insane.

[@ergile172]

After listening to the basslines from cryptopsy, one wonders why other bands don't do something similar. An entirely new element can be added to a song as opposed to a generic bassline that just follows guitars and does nothing but fill in the blank space.

[@calebbean1384]

Lots of bands have basslines that deviate from the guitar. Individual Thought Patterns by Death is a good example, predating any Cryptopsy album. Atheist did it before them even

[@ergile172]

@@calebbean1384 Of course many bands have such basslines, but it isn't particularly widespread, and the bass isn't often as dominant in the mix as it is in a Cryptopsy record. Sorry if I gave the impression that I thought Crypstopsy was the only one.

[@yakov.lopatin]

Good cover! Thanks

[@ayumu666winter]

very nice

[@FangsAnalSatan]

Your covers are so good. Slapping, but more specifically plucking, is really hard to do well on a fretless and you make it sound easy. Do you use round wounds, half wounds or flats? Sounds like rounds, but just curious.

[@jaaz.handss]

i can’t get any distinct fretless ‘mwah’ with flats, but i’m yet to try half wounds. nickel roundwounds for days

[@FangsAnalSatan]

@@jaaz.handssI feel the same about flatwounds. I've been using half wounds and getting a distinct mwah with them. I've found rounds to be too bright and sharp, but I'm not against trying them out again. Do you just use D'Addario Nickles?

[@jaaz.handss]

@@FangsAnalSatan DR stainless steels in this clip, though i’ve moved to using the DR nickels when i can’t get a hold of the D’addario XL’s

[@FangsAnalSatan]

@@jaaz.handss nice! I got some D'Addario nickels in regular and medium gauge to try out something new. I'll give DRs a look down the road. Forever chasing that Malone bass tone.

Are you using 3 finger plucking during the faster parts?

[@franrivers7803]

Hello, I wanted to ask you how you have hyperluminal configured in darksuite? and if you have the cabsim activated or you only equalized without activating the cabsim of your darkglass and if you also activate the distortion or is it a clean sound?

[@jaaz.handss]

never got around to configuring with the Hyper Luminal in the suite program, so its just whatever's on board. just using the EQ and cab sim in the AO900, no distortion in the amp. only having a hair of gain from the B3k
