I have followed you since you only had a few thousands sub and went through all the Davie504 hype lol I am so proud as you fan!

[@samiam4544]

Well done. Super chill jam.

[@brockbelzer]

you and davie 504 should bass battle

[@rsat9526]

@@brockbelzer they already did

[@esdev92]

It's impressive that you also managed to incorporate the 6-string short scale piccolo bass into this song, considering it's such a niche instrument

[@joelstuckwisch]

I think the 264 String Hammer on Bass is way more impressive😂

[@JonathanToole]

@@joelstuckwisch Took me a second.

[@Joshuani]

@@JonathanTooleme too I just finished a 15 hour shift and was looking for it

[@philh98]

And an acoustic one no less. Very rare 😅

[@KindredBrujah]

Lol, was about to come and make the same comment. Dedication to the craft from Charles, as always.

[@LawrieBrailey]

Whilst your technical ability is incredible, it's your arrangement and composition skills that really make each one of these. Epic work.

[@JaneanMarkley]

I want to hear Charles score a movie. The backing tracks are always so good.

[@Itsthatoneguy371]

God damn that’s a good idea!

[@viktorialutsenko2922]

Charles, you have the youngest fan ever! He’s watching you since 4 months old. I have filmed him being happy watching your videos. This is how we discovered you, thanks to him - your little fan

[@NotGOHANK]

that's really epic, you may have a fellow bassist by your side

[@TheBarbarianGamer]

But you're not supposed to slap babies... ;)

[@ruslan_yasel_aq_qizil]

​@@TheBarbarianGamer Davie504 would disagree with it, I guess😅

[@zaqclark529]

My daughter has also been listening since she was little. I would play Charles on my speakers and she would jump on my legs while listening, she is too big for jumping on my lap, but she loves music in part due to this music.

[@robdubent]

@@zaqclark529 precious 🥰

[@Keirubiell]

Charles! Love these Fretless transformations of these songs. ♥️

[@ChristopherBurtraw]

Today we get to see an ACOUSTIC six string short scale piccolo bass!

lol, aka a guitar

[@ChristopherBurtraw]

@@davidryan7386 nice work!

[@jonah11111]

Really highlights and contrasts the moods that the song produces, a wonderful rendition that both adds to my perspective of the original, yet is also something almost entirely new

It’s amazing that that even works

@@CharlesBerthoud will do, also I totally understand how much you care about the scene, at first I kinda let my insecurity get the best of me without thinking but I’ll do this properly and do you and the bass community proud

Hey Tom! I love your Polyphia covers! You're amazing!

[@tompreston7580]

@@ejmazzi1499 thanks man I appreciate it, and tbf there are people that didn’t like my stuff from a couple years back and after a lot of thought I kinda agree with them about it so defo made some changes since Also if you enjoyed my Polyphia arrangements defo check out Charles’ ones too, blew me away

[@CuteyMeow]

Wow, Charles! Your rendition of 'Californication' on fretless bass is absolutely mesmerizing. The hauntingly beautiful tones you bring out are truly inspiring. As someone who's been playing bass for just 2 months, your videos have been a huge source of motivation for me. Keep up the amazing work! Your music makes a difference. ✨

[@CorinthianPSS]

keep at it man, always fun to see new people playing the bass :) is this your first instrument or have you played any others before? curious to know

[@MyAMJourney]

Why does this sound like AI lol

[@mrtherockful]

My thoughts exactly

[@CuteyMeow]

@@CorinthianPSS i play drums, violin, guitar, piano and the best - bass

[@georgiossirgoudis9207]

​@@CuteyMeow lol,I can even play one instrument 💀

Haven't seen your content in a while and was very impressed with the various instruments you incorporated into this one. Great work continuing to hone your craft 👍

[@burtmann3921]

what a pleasure to watch and listen to your genius performances. God bless you

[@Non_eri_tu]

omg the solo brake down is sooooooo sentimental. I love the fact that you encorperated other instruments too 🙂

[@MaxFunkBass]

I'm absolutely in love with this piece! This deserves way more attention! Thanks for this masterpiece Charles :D

[@bass_bjørn]

Love it, Charles! Glad, you've picked one of the non-broken basses that you own, this time.

[@ivanmoralescolon]

I am a humble guitar guy but you my friend are a master. I coukd hear your version of Californication over and over and not miss the Peppers, actually you could teach them a bit about it....🎉

[@shawnmccammon]

Truly beautiful. One of my favorites you've done, for sure

[@woolfel]

excellent arrangement of californication. enjoyed it, thank you.

[@ultimateformulations]

Sounds so much more ethereal than expected! Fantastic

Wonderful cover❤️

[@Suprafanatic94]

I could never play fretless like Charles is. Great job!

[@boltyk1]

Charles, it's so great that you picked up this Davie's task as a bass pro and then fought him and now you almost 2 mil subs - amazing! :)

[@natanaelbarboza3593]

Parabéns! Você toca muito! 🎸

[@harrissoundlighting]

Absolutely insanely incredible. Well done!

[@DerKlemm-Crafter]

Sounds truly awesome!

[@miguelmourao7541]

Could you try wherever I may roam on a fretless bass?

[@Accal1a]

Oh this is STUNNING, Charles.

[@mileskirklin346]

Some of these videos were my first introduction to fretless bass and now I own one

[@erikvincent5846]

With that Chorus effect on the bass, it has a very Peter Steele/Type O Negative tone to it. I always dug his Chorus/Delay/Distortion rig for his bass.

[@Nick--Name]

Просто божественно придумано и исполнено 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@KinkouGhost]

I remember saying in the previous Californian video that the beginning was soothing and almost haunting. I immediately clicked on this video as soon as i saw the title. This was outstanding to say the least!

[@robeyreed2499]

Could you please make a video that shows just you playing with one hand (your fretting hand)? And can you please demonstrate the same techniques that you use for playing with one hand?

[@P1kaSans]

absolutely magnificent charles!!

[@ygrillo]

Fretless bass are awesome

[@maxponsetis1948]

nice de nice you ve sublimated the tune when the technical potential gives you acces to exelency well done Mister you realy play the bhes

You are so talented man! What a beautiful version! You have very good taste picking the resources to make music!

[@twitch54304]

Hauntingly Beautiful is the perfect description for that!

[@dajuice4200]

This is another great mix.

[@hrvojebartulovic7870]

Dear sir, may I suggest you give a go at Armas Jarnefelt's 'Berceuse'. I find Risto Vuolanne's version on double bass you can find here on YT highly expressive, but I'm sure your would be my favourite!!!! It's such a short piece, highly packed with emotions, just the right format for you! All the best from Croatia!

[@edwardfordyce6174]

So so good
