You should have checked that tutorial for how to fish for bass. That's a really underrated bass technique that I feel is invaluable to beginners.

Yeah that bugged me too 🤣. I was like : davie forgot the step where he needed to tune his bass 😂

[@PiePlayzBASS]

it is in tune?

[@nath4593]

@@PiePlayzBASS nope the G string is slightly out of tune. You might not notice it but i have pitch perfect so i always notice the slightest imperfections. This one isn't that hard to hear tho. Just pay attention

[@PiePlayzBASS]

@@nath4593 not to flex but even i have perfect pitch so it doesn't sound out of tune to me. Or maybe my ears are not earing

[@nath4593]

@@PiePlayzBASS well if you do have perfect pitch how do you not hear the G string being out of tune? Even the D string is out of tune by maybe 1/16 of a tone so it's not as noticeable but it still doesn't sound perfect. You could try comparing Davie's G string to another G string sound and you'll see.

[@antonyraj11]

3:31 did we just see davie laugh??

[@heathhiatt5895]

I have seen a lot of your vids. this is my fav so far. im slappin that like!

Hilarious and so slap on! Evidently the writer of the wiki tutorial learned things from this video and quickly updated the wiki-how when I checked it today April 4. Thanks. Looking forward to your tutorial. Will buy a bass soon partly because of you.

I know a guitarist who wanted to play bass, but he used a pick and the very next morning he woke up with a severed horse's head in his bed

[@joermnyc]

How to play bass: buy bass. Buy amp. Fret random note, play octave, play fifth, make up bass solos, compose music. Buy second bass. Stonks!

[@SupraViperhead]

I went to play with a couple of bands who wanted me to play "their basslines" for their songs and EVERY TIME, it was a guitarist who wrote the Bassline and they wrote (and played) it the way a guitar would be played. They kept wanting me to play with a pick. UNACCEPTABLE!

[@ablak3712]

I like this Davide Biale guy... you should invite him more. It's refreshing to hear his real self. Jokes aside It's hard to be yourself online but don't worry your real fans already know you and love you for who you are. And you're an inspiration for me as a fellow introvert, tall guy, and shy person. You helped me be myself more and accept myself and not see myself as an outcast who needs to be 'fixed'. So thank you I usually don't write these comments but you truly are an inspiration for me keep it up and never change :)

[@thrudd6610]

HAHA! So well edited! Always love your product! Thank you...

[@CLboneless]

thank you for your EPIC videos you inspired me to buy myself a bass and hopefully i’ll be slapping soon. keep up the amazing work!

Long time watcher, love the content. I usually only try to have one bass for sale an one keeper… at the moment I have a fender jazz bass, squier active jaguar, vintage Hondo explorer h-880, vintage Peavey T-40 and some home made mariachi style fret less acoustic electric. I have even had to stop myself from buying more. The only reason I ever put guitar next to bass when I list them is just to expand my reach for looks at my post… even when I post a mic or drums I always put “ ( guitar bass studio band related) “ I always think it’s hilarious when I see a guitar bundled with a bass amp or someone puts “base guitar”

[@feathertail2891]

I've actually had this problem when it came to learning Bass. The teacher there played a lot of instruments and had a great sense in music theory, but he couldn't properly teach me advanced techniques like slap, tap, double thumb, etcetera. He applied as a teacher for bass because he knew how to play guitar well. It's nice to know guitar for music theory and such when teaching bass, but if you are going to teach it, actually know how to play it like a virtuouso. Don't apply because you know another instrument. It feels insulting. It's like if someone said they can teach the tuba cause they know how to play the trumpet. Learn it and respect it. Each instrument has their own techniques and fundamentals to learn.

[@TheRip72]

After 2+ years playing bass, I decided to get a guitar to learn new things like muting when using a pick. I have had the guitar about a week but it is very different to playing a bass.

1:30 My first bass is a fretless. My second has six strings. And, yeah, I wouldn't recommend it for everyone, but it worked for me. The good old four-string fretted is ideal for beginners.

I started on fretless back in 2004. Went great! Started with Lounge Act, Californication, Zombi (cranberries) - great fretless songs of course totally not. K's choice really helped me bring out that fretless tone though; by plucking closer to the neck for that soft signature fretless grizzle.
