Donny Benét- Back in the Studio: Ken Smith, Konichiwa and Love Online

[@focusource]

That bass waited nearly 40 years to be played by Mr. Experience. It was worth the wait.

[@fernandoburiasco6590]

Hahahahaaa

[@SimonLloydGuitar]

If Donny did a gig on the moon, i'd hitch a ride on a starship and meet him on the Sea of Tranquility.

[@hugodesrosiers-plaisance3156]

Donny, you don't just create music, you also create a little bubble-universe all your own into which you invite us to step so that we can really experience and get a sense of what you're trying to achieve through this wonderful artistic project of your. Mr Experience is quite a clever title. Much respect to you, kind Sir. You are an amazing Artist.

[@ucfkid67]

The bloke is a national treasure and she be protected all costs

[@bradleydavis331]

Best part of 2023 was seeing Donny in concert.

[@bumblebee__]

I saw him in concert back in San Diego last year; i swear to god the raw sexual energy he emits is too powerful for this universe

[@jime7789]

Worst part of 2023 was missing donny in concert.

[@esdraslopez7676]

Not for me haha

[@theothertonydutch]

Worst part of the invasion of Poland in 1939 was missing Donny in concert.

[@MysticDonBlair]

I know I’m in Turkey 🇹🇷

[@coreypadilla6668]

Should have been at the bimbo 365 club in SF on st Patrick’s day. Too good 🔥

[@CaptGrout]

He killed it in L.A.

[@thebreakfastmenu]

I am so, and I cannot stress this enough, HARD right now

[@Belman5]

That Smith sounds amazing. It's clearly in the right hands.

[@vento99]

How has it taken me this long to discover you Donny? You're the saviour of music in these troubled times. Keep doing what you're doing. Amazing.

[@pas_uh_fist2462]

Gorgeous Kent Smith! The Konichiwa video is the best video ever loaded on KZbin.

[@jacqueslapidieux3182]

Don and Ken. A match made in heaven!

[@ivanb8126]

3:32 I live for that

[@YodaZemunski]

I rarely see musicians reveal their secrets this way. Donny is just so real and cool, he's happy to show you all the riffs. Haha

[@CrummyVCR]

On the seventh day God rested and relaxed by putting on Mr. Experience. ...and the Lord said it was good

[@IllicitMediaproductions]

God I love this mans charisma !

[@kayjay111111]

I will slap the first person to download this video. Thank you for sharing your skill!

[@Dr.ZoidbergPhD]

Bloody fuckin' legend, hope to see him live some day! (I'm American btw, but I love Aussies and 🇦🇺)

[@BronsonTheCat]

You know it’s going to be a good day when The Don uploads to KZbin.

[@DurpVonFronz]

This man is one of my heros!

[@Laundry_Hamper]

That switch, sounds like clav mode 🤩

[@Ontariosound]

The rhythm is the bass and the bass is the treble 👍⭐️

[@_Only_Zuul]

to this day, i still don't know what that means..

[@palindrone]

Bountiful fruit delivered fresh by The Don 🍓🍎🍍🍒

[@macgyverrda]

This is amazing. I dont even know how to play bass yet here I am at 43 thinking I should take it up. Thank you for all you do Donny and cant wait to see you on the AU tour in June!

[@spunkychops7484]

This man changed my world. I love his music! He is so talented and a cool 😎 guy.

[@shanegill]

Donny, you really ARE the boss!

[@adventurefreeman9682]

[@chickenzwings]

Good lord Donny what a bass you've got there. Sounds magnificent!

[@Reefos]

Sensei Benét! You are a true Bass-master. I bow in respect!

The most "Everything falls into place" vibe video on the net. Amazing as always

[@103213able]

Keep them coming Donny! You're the man! My cousin came from Germany just to attend your Montreal concert on my behalf because I couldn't make it. Thank you for the autograph!!

[@Action_Sloth]

I saw you in LA earlier this year, brought some friends who became instant fans. Just found out that youre going to be in Santa Ana next week, I didnt realize you were even still in the country, but I just scooped up some tickets and I am so fuckin stoked, what a treat

[@bu5589]

So smooth. So funky. The love has never been this online

[@snowzombie86]

Just some quality sounds from Mr. Donny Benét! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🤌🏽✌🏾

[@ILSEBASSISTA]

Ciao Mr Benét! I hope to see you at Eurovision Song Contest sooner or later!!! Well made songs, great bassist and person too! Greetings from Italy

[@franfenderjazz]

Drove two hours to see your March show in Boston with my pal Rob. It was amazing! Nothing beats a vintage Smith.

[@jeffwolinski2659]

The bass in that fade out section of Love Online is so damn grooving!

[@_Only_Zuul]

justa wanna dat dere konichiwas bass! 🥰🥰🥰 u good n styles dope 😘😘😘

[@nathanwittock4133]

Your combination of superb skills and down-right fun / joie de vivre as the French may say / is absolutely inspiring. Thank you Mr. Benét !

[@ToddBrittain1963]

Donny, that KS is beautiful. A worthy match for your virtuosity.

[@OrchestraUnderGround3000]

Donny you are a riot ! Keep Doing you amigo .

[@SammyDane5988]

6:36 Love 'Konichiwa'! One of my favorite songs on KZbin!

[@derpherp4530]

As always, LEGIT. Please consider playing in Eugene Oregon again. Portland was a good set but a long drive and the city was a bit rough around the edges.

[@BartFunkBass]

These videos remind me of 80's VHS bass instructional videos. Tasty!

[@mindthreatx]

What a damn good year!

[@baumstamp5989]

YOU RE THE BOSS DONNY!!!!!

[@Barberserk]

Donny you adorable music nerd, keep on funking!

[@curtisnewton895]

[@opontop3235]

Donny Benèt is the man-è!

[@jozefdomitrz4066]

Mr Donn,you are the Master

[@kadenshattuck5458]

Donny I am a bass player and a huge fan of your work. Keep up these awesome videos

[@vincenzomarino3876]

New Donny video!!! I can only watch the old ones so many times.

[@DiegoSanchez-pl9eh]

those fills!! yeah!

[@peterlarkin762]

Ken Smith bass: "OMG i found the rarest human, one of the best bass players ever, and look at that svelt design! Just had to get it. Most musical moustache ever. Dont make em like that anymore"

[@JerryAyon-jo4ts]

Beautiful Ken Smith Bass. Your so lucky to own it.

[@gilmo2965]

Donny tu es le meilleur, quand reviens tu à Paris ?

[@artoideone]

Thanks donny! From México!

[@CJTKRTHOME]

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT ALL

[@a.j.garrett9639]

I had no idea who you were before this week, but I stumbled upon you and I'm just really into what you're doing. Today I found you on Spotify and I can't wait to delve into your album or albums or catalog whatever you got, I'm going to watch it. Thank you for sharing your music and talent. I'm a bass player and while I have found some good stuff over the years, it's really hard to find bass player mentors or people to look up to who are original and have a style of their own and just leaders in their field. I think I found that in you. I know there's a lot of great bass players out there. They're just hard to find. So when I find someone like you I really value it and appreciate it. Cheers

[@bazzakudamusicoffical]

I would absolutely love for the don to release his albums as instrumental only love the lyrics but the mastery is in the instrumental I would hands down buy the whole discography haha 😆

[@BartoszOdziomek]

Outro of Love Online combined with little soloing was incredibly groovy (ideal sound for night pursuit)!! Ken Smith sounds superb! I'm waiting for next Europe tour! Love you Donny!

[@davidmarsalis1522]

I think I saw Donny and his band at the Newtown Festival. Im thinking 10 or so years ago maybe more can’t remember. Anyways It was fantastic . My friend Chris plays one of those basses they are bad ass . Anyways enjoy whatever it is you do . Peace ☮️.

[@hashbrown7437]

Just recently stumbled upon your catalog and I can't get enough hope to catch you live one day!

[@jameshickson8174]

Donny is the coolest.

[@rickc2102]

tonsillitis serendipity, glad reality doesn't disappoint teenage nerding out

[@jevinday]

Wow, of course you're Australian, it makes sense now. The majority of really, really great modern music is coming out of Australia and you're totally proving my point! You rock man! Incredibly talented and entertaining. You really own your act, I really enjoy it.

[@a.j.garrett9639]

Love Online is rad!

[@КотДеЛаМуэртэ]

Донни всё круто )😊

[@Derheadbaenger]

Simply cool music.. Hey, let´s make a song about peace in these strage times!

[@PhilPlaysBass]

Love Online is a bass master class.

[@bruth6138]

Fantastic!

[@jackaroo894]

Konichiwa ! I Love You !

[@OleksandrBanashko]

I love you brother.. please more content !

[@AllofJudea]

Killer bass!

[@kriskpin]

WOW that plays so smooth! need more Donny in our lives!

[@zaltonian]

Sound on this video was pumpin. And that opening was a banger. So glad you scored a legacy type instrument and look forward to further content🎉

[@bumblebee__]

i saw him in concert back in October at San Diego. Along with the opener band, it was one TRULY amazing show!

I'd LOVE to see you here in Chicago! Will you ever come out to the States?

[@01FUMBLE]

Legend

[@piptyson5512]

These types of vids are a lot of fun, even if I'm not a true bassist just a guy with a couple basses that occasionally meanders around some notes lol. Thanks Donny!!

[@MrShragg]

Donny - you’re a gawd dang Genius!

[@clee3352]

Donny with a Ken Smith?! Nice!

[@horrorshowbass]

Donny we need that five string stingray in a video😮❤😮❤

[@mikedeeez]

Aw no, I'm one of the guilty ones - I played Konichiwa as part of a bass demo video, and I got one of notes wrong! Bummer 😞, should've listened more closely. Thanks Donny for showing us the right way to play it! This is seriously the best tone I've ever heard from a Ken Smith. Such a terrific sound 👌

[@BudoReflex]

Brighten my day.

[@57precision]

Thank you for the insights into your creative process and the bass tutorials Donny! A real class act.

[@MrPlorack]

Ho yeah slap that BASS DONNY

[@ricochet243]

This video’s the bollocks. MORE DONNY PLEASE!!!
