George Baldwin and Dingwall ABII (THIS sounds EPIC💥)

[@Jackal_Blitz]

It's been a long, long time since I've really had my mind blown by a solo bass performance. This was jaw-dropping from beginning to end. If you're new to bass, and reading this - pay close attention to how little he moves his hands. His economy of motion is excellent. The song almost sounds like it's two basses playing, but it just shows what one truly talented player can do with smart use of hand positioning.

[@chickenpasta7359]

I will not pay close attention

[@sigmundsound]

Same as a good drummer.

[@Not_Lewis]

Well it helps to have larger hands to reduce the motion necessary for fretting the movements.

[@JoshZanders]

Good lord, I thought there was a delay effect on him at the beginning but no... Between the quality instrument and the flawless technique, my dude's playing is so consistent and articulate it sounds like a MIDI file! 😂 Its been a hot minute since a solo bass piece blew my mind like that. Bravo, Mr. Baldwin!

[@madmaskbass]

That low B is insane. Such a fluid technique! So awesome watching someone who has put that much work into playing make it look that easy.

[@Itsmescoots]

Jesus! How low is the action on this thing? His right hand technique is so amazing and delicate looking

[@Sproeikoei]

I've recently gone from a jazz bass to an NG3 and it plays Incredibly light comparatively

[@bregottmannen2706]

this convinced me I need to learn to play bass

[@nepmobile3583]

Do it!

[@scootermcgavin2188]

It convinced me, that I should probably quit

[@peadookie]

@@scootermcgavin2188😂 that cracked me up my man, well played 😂😂😂

[@chrisjs6123]

It’s one of those videos where if you’re not a bass player you are amazed by the musicality and if you are you are blown away by the technique. That right hand is jaw dropping. A masterclass in how it can be done.

[@xmanual]

George, this is so great!

[@hilltide8577]

Thanks so much Sheldon ❤ what an incredible instrument!

[@nicolocavalli814]

The tone at 1.01 is so damn crunchy. So crunchy that it makes me chew while listening 😭 Thanks guys, now I know what I want for Christmas

[@eMysterium]

The piano like tone he's getting is mesmerizing.

[@henryr506]

George is so damn good, always getting a perfect tone on his Dingwall bass

[@noahfreeman8115]

i was not expecting this to be this freaking good. I actively dislike most slap but this is some of the best playing i’ve heard in a long time.

[@MythixMusic1]

Cannot wait to be able to play like this! Might have to learn to play this. Sounds incredible. Man, the sound of Dingwalls though. How has the whole world not converted yet? My NG3 is my favourite bass by such a long shot

[@nostromoalien2]

Beautiful playing. Dingwall are top notch. Currently have an NG. Saving for a super J

[@BergantinoAudio]

Amazing as always George~

[@viktorbass]

You just can't change pickup selection right on time 🔥🔥🔥

[@WTHFX]

George, your compositions are simply outstanding. Looking forward to an album.

[@mikematthews5890]

F'nA Man!! That right hand picking technique is amazing. Time to hit the shed \m/.

[@badger4361]

Good work George, nice and tight.

[@MrOccamRazor]

Man, this dude is sick! With that said, I'd like to see George Baldwin do a duet with Charles Berthoud, just for the hell of it.

[@caidlod7143]

Dude the tone is so good. It’s got amazing distortion but no fuzz

[@alejandromayr1357]

That was unreal

[@jairus17]

Man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this shit right Here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You Go Boy!

[@vapingcringe]

the pickup changes were so articulated, which is so weird to say but still. dope.

[@trance9158]

Interesting... Has an industrial neo classical vibe to it.

[@davidjensen2999]

That was nice!

[@thundrxhyper5478]

This sounded amazing! Great job 👏

[@Jonathan-dh7hk]

Wow!! Incredible!

[@adithompson199]

Stunned!

[@rustfeather1070]

Fantastic piece!

[@InVerum]

Can we get the Stem/DI of just the bass??? Want to create something stupid with this. (Hint - we can go heavier)

[@eduardramos7438]

2:32 fkn incredible 2:43 that low a give me the touch

[@Xasmatikos]

Inspirational!

[@אליהומנחםהרשקופ]

amazing play !!! wow !!!

[@greggblankenshipp8202]

That was killer......

[@1962wardog]

Awesome😃

[@MoDeSt0]

Am I the only one picking up Periphery's Marigold vibes in here?

[@paulobrito664]

Of course not, there's also hints of Tool and Animals As Leaders here and there. This sounds so cool it's outright criminal

[@TheFiveHundred]

Incredible❤

[@barondavis5692]

Ok, now I’m excited to get one of these basses, then I’ll be able to play like Mr. Baldwin. 🤔

[@bleeknoir]

Tone for days

[@nsalaza]

George Baldwin is one of those bass players that you have to see to believe... him and Jacob Umansky... My goodness!!

[@christiancolon147]

Bro! this is amazing!!!! Give me lessons!

[@CoffyAKAstylezz]

wtf thats awesome

[@chrislang930]

Wow

[@Eden21425]

The playing itself is awesome, but I think it's kinda sad that dingwall doesn't really give credit to the amazing artists they use in their promotional videos, atleast a link to the original song or atleast the song title, in the description would be a nice way to support the artists more in return.

[@DingwallGuitars]

Agreed with you George is amazing ,all the credits are right there in the description, link to the song etc,

[@swistone]

So juicy ...

[@rockbasskicker]

What color is your AB2? Did you also opt for the roasted ash neck?

[@DingwallGuitars]

Olive green

[@andrewneehall5664]

its their Ovangkol Neck

[@battlekat4]

Is the ab2 or the abz the top of the line for dingwall ? Also amazing playing!

[@misanthroposy]

@BattleKat the prima is the top of the line. then the Z series. then afterburner 2 which is what this is. then afterburner 1 and the entry into the Canadian made dingwalls is called the ABZ

[@battlekat4]

@@misanthroposy appreciate you clarifying that for me. Thank you. Your bass looks amazing

[@notweltraz279]

I aspire to hone my technique to be atleast as clean as this man is able to perform.

[@antialiasxinfinity]

Preamp?

[@NashMusicStudios]

This is more like classical guitar technique than any bass player I’ve ever seen

[@zenzenzen4741]

Nonsense

[@J201-t3r]

Sped up. Can't unhear the transient artifacts

[@InVerum]

What are you talking about? You can literally watch the video and see it isn't sped up.

[@madmaskbass]

I think the artefacts you are hearing is reverb. If you listen to the very beginning you can hear that there is reverb on the track.

[@MatthewtheBassPlayer]

The amount of ignorance in this reply is actually pretty funny. With modern DAW’s you can increase the BPM of recorded music dramatically with zero artifacts: the video of him playing it at this tempo is also clearly unaltered.

[@J201-t3r]

@@InVerum Video isn't sped up. The sound is. He didn't record live. You can see him bend strings when there's no bend in sound (1:39, 2:13, 2:28)

[@InVerum]

@@J201-t3r oh.. oh sweety. You're not the sharpest tool in the shed are you. I want you to think long and hard about what you just typed. Use that brain of yours I promise you can do it. What you're actually experiencing is the idea that this is done in multiple takes, and that the performance you're seeing on camera is done after the audio is recorded. There are going to be small differences. But if you are watching him play it in real-time, then clearly, the audio is not sped up. Jesus Christ...
