@@user-nk3re4dj5h his response was almost more funny than the original comment. how come that with over 30 years of the internet's existence people still just respond reflexively to the lowest common denominator?

[@fromulus]

I'll tell ya clay, you do exactly what a bassist should do, you leave a distinct mark without distracting from anything else, you blend in, yet stand out at the same time. Not an easy line to walk.

[@josetobias8084]

Your words were perfect. Only of the one bassists I listen to a song with, and I can hear a distinct bass line and even point it out, even though I have no fucking idea "what a bass is" - never played one. That's a hard thing to accomplish for me as guitarist hearing music where I'm unconsciously focusing on the guitars all the time... you've said it very well.

[@kylerooney8224]

Apart from in goat and the audacity, clays bass percussion is front and centre most of those tracks, he's unbelievable

[@salty_3k506]

​@@josetobias8084you can hear bass in a lot of genres. i could go more in depth but basically, when you can't hear bass it's either your audio quality or you don't know how to listen for bass (which is just a matter of practice). but as a musician, i would recommend you to know how the bass sounds and what it does, otherwise your guitars will sound shitty. go watch rob scallon's video respect the bass. and watch davie or bass buzz or isolated bass tracks so you know what the instrument sounds like and what it adds to the music.

[@josetobias8084]

​@@salty_3k506oh, kinda old reply, sorry for that. Yeah, we have to know perfectly what a bass is, what it sounds like and everything - I was kind joking when I said I don't know what it is, just a common guitarist mind of locking on it 🤣. Thank you for the recommendations though, I did listen to Bass Buzz, and his videos are really fantastic - I did know Davie from before, slapping that bass. Just to close it out: I've been listening to jazz more and more, due to my studies and friends, and bass is really fantastic and fundamental - really mesmerizing. Didn't mean to offend anyone, just to express my little mind. 💗

[@llammabean]

his bass playing technique is incredible, his picking, fretting, and percussive playing is on point. I really love that iconic dead note triplet.

[@cimin1211]

I hope to see you more often on KZbin. Clay! Your bass stuff is just fucking amazing!!

[@Chrysanthemums]

You're so underrated Clay, you deserve more subs.

[@RojCowles]

Definitely, a lot of the focus is on Tim and Scotty but the Clay's are both amazing too, can't get over how much I love Clay A's drumming on Chimera.

[@Chrysanthemums]

@@RojCowles Yeah, that's actually true. But even Tim's yt channel is only at 700+K subs rn. He should've at least have like 3M subs and the rest of the members at least 1.5M to 2M subs. They're all underrated. I'm a also a musician btw and i've seen some really good bass players out there but if you look at Clay's technique it was really unique.

[@theonlycaulfield]

@@Chrysanthemums >700K subs is a truly impressive amount relatively. Both Steve Vai and Dream Theater have over 700k but under 800k. Even Deftones has only 928K.

[@jasonyltan7672]

Very underrated bassist and Clay doesn’t quite seek the spotlight. Live shows, he is an absolute beast

[@jwhite3389]

I can't get over how good the tone is. Absolutely amazing man!

[@raelingarr]

Clay, I really wanna see this for The Audacity. You freaking SLAY on that track and I don't think you get the credit you deserve.

[@club0017]

Clay is so underrated we should give him more love

[@notmiscares3918]

Full playthroughts would be so sick, your compositions are as impecable as the ones from the rest of the band

[@theredlabcoat]

Absolutely awesome, your playing has so much character

[@stevekim9601]

It's amazing how intricate each piece is (bass, guitar, drums) yet they harmonize so well and sound absolutely insane together. Kudos to all members of the band. Yall are Kings

[@spikezkid022]

To write a proper bass part to any polyphia song is in and of itself an impressive feat. Incredible bassist!

[@RoseArkana]

duuude that line is sick as hell, loving the sound! and the behelit statue in the background too

[@kitsvn]

Polyphia is my favorite band of all time. I play bass too, the bass parts on the new album are my favorite. You’re an absolute legend!

[@oscriadocomandosancto2898]

This bass is beautiful

[@kmfnj]

What the heck dude, we need a full playthrough of just Clay! 🔥

[@LateNights-nj9eg]

les?

[@troruaz]

Aww man, was hoping you’d keep going all the way to breakdown right at the end of the song. The slaps and rhythm in that part sound amazing and it’s be cool to see how it’s done

[@Dryst08]

more of this dude! your playing is on a different level.

[@vitorbueno4301]

Your playing on G.O.A.T changed what I always thought about bass. You're awesome

BASSS. Nothing more wild than absolute walls of DEEP SOUND.

[@steveplummer5779]

Clay Gober plays the bass with rhythms more complex than most drummers could even imagine.

[@kmfnj]

It's probably because the drummer in Polyphia is also named Clay... and they are actually two halves of a whole person with so much talent they had to split up so as not to overwhelm us all. 🤔🤯
