Fretless Stradi Bass Funk Rock Jam (drums by Jack Irons)

[@janakalife3398]

This has to be the coolest bass I've ever laid my eyes on

Sick bass, funky ass jam, 100% love it

That stick produces some serious/unique sounds

[@therobotFrom94]

having Jack Irons on drums is absolutely sick! (for those who didn't know) He was a founding member of RHCP and has worked with Pearl Jam and Les Claypool (amongst others)!!

yes Jack makes this badass..kit sounds amazing!!

Oy! that was gonna be my comment! LOL😂

Yes

[@riukrobu]

Correct: yes.

[@геннадийкольцов-о4ц]

Великолепно! 100%

[@benhammer87]

And yes

[@somarriba333]

I think the reason I love his groves so much is because it sounds like he's transcribed and is playing my nonsensical vocalizations that I do when I am alone and he made it badass.

[@MeshuggahDave.]

yes, he makes melodies on a bass.

[@jeremyxx11]

I’ve never in all my years of playing music and listening to non-mainstream stuff heard anything like this. It’s a really unique tone, especially how he does the pop/slap sound w/o using his thumb. That bass is something unique too

[@Raging.Geekazoid]

He's just plucking with his thumb instead of slapping. Basically playing it finger-style like a regular guitar.

[@dmacrolens]

You really need to listen to more music then...

[@jeremyxx11]

@@Raging.Geekazoid you should post a video of you playing and show us how it’s done.

[@jeremyxx11]

@@dmacrolens instead of leaving some snide remark, why don’t you show everyone what you can do and then people can critique your playing. Unless you’re not a musician and don’t have a clue how to create music, in which case you should probably just not say anything and let people think you’re an idiot instead of the alternative.

[@Raging.Geekazoid]

@@jeremyxx11 You wouldn't be able to stand the awesomeness. 😎

[@serendipityrecordco9380]

That right hand technique is worthy of a Berkeley course on its own

[@MeshuggahDave.]

i was about to be like who plays a fretless with a guitar finger style... this fucking guy and hes tons better then me.

[@rickwilliams967]

Aren't there a fuck ton of bass players like that?

[@rickwilliams967]

​@@MeshuggahDave.He probably started on guitar I'd bet.

[@velartt]

this is why we love fretless bass

[@peadookie]

As cool as the groove is… As cool as the bass is… I just can’t take my eyes off the right hand technique. Never seen anything like. Wild.

[@dumpywhite]

He’s got the nails for classical/flamenco guitar and the technique looks a lot like that. It’s how I play, thumb on low e and index/middle/ring for a d and g, respectively

[@Leotheleprachaun]

I dubbed it The Lobster Claw on one of his videos like 12 years ago and he sometimes uses that in the titles. It's not just a flamenco reuse/mix for the bass, he uses the pointer and middle to do ghost and double notes with extra punch/crunch.

[@matthewmorter7803]

I was thinking the same thing

[@TwinSimian]

it just goes to show, you don’t have to follow the rules, because there are no rules. Slap on electric bass was invented almost by accident. Now there are four or five different approaches to slap bass technique. If all you ever do is what has already been done before, you will only gained notoriety as an imitator, not an inventor. This guy is a mad scientist 💪🏼

this is how it sounds when you miscalculate the microdose

[@Symphing12]

Upright bassist here who dabbles in electric. Your right hand technique is a marvel!

[@Davivd2]

Every time that you upload, there are a few parts in each song that when I hear them, I think: "whoa. I didn't know that the bass could be played like that." You not only have that sense of the funk, but at the same time have this really unique sense of rhythm and timing. Man, it's really impressive.

[@LeandroTondo]

Talent.

[@RemcosGrooveLab]

Thank you for the support, much appreciated!

[@jessed3884]

there's a handful of bassists i recognize in 3 seconds of hearing them. remco is at the top of that list

[@RinsedCheeks]

Love the sound of this bass! Amazing playing as usual

[@typoclerk]

The cutaway on that fretless is spectacular. And it looks like dude is having a lot of fun...

[@dk6024]

Watch the right hand. Superb.

[@mid2139]

Tone, intonation, and groove are phenomenal

[@briar4978]

ive been coming back to this for the past week just cant get over how sick that bass is

[@mudhutproductions]

It's rare and glorious to find a unique and original style like this. I'm digging the Remco Man!

[@jwkelley]

The bass fits your style so well

[@troddy3925]

At 56, and taking up bass again after 30 year hiatus, I can confidently say I will never be this good. But thanks for continuing to want to make me play! 😏🙏🏻👍✌️

Well, not with that attitude, young man 😂😂😂 You may not play this, but your brain will think of ideas to play that no one else will think of. There's only one of you sir ,embrace it ✌️❤️

[@alphagt62]

I’ve been at it for 24 years, and I’ll never be this good. Some people are just born with certain talents, don’t take it too hard.

[@Mxtalcore]

This is the best bass ive ever heard. Hands down.

[@MagnetTricks]

The bass, the tone, the groove, the jam, the drums, the contrast between the groovy funk parts and the silly slide parts - so much to love in this one video!

[@zambur]

Wow... So funky and beautiful!

[@jeffbailey4221]

Beautiful Bass and it sounds as beautiful as it looks

[@MetalWolfz]

Jack Irons absolutely crushing it on drums makes this 1000x times better

[@robst247]

Great playing. So deep in the groove it's nearly coming through on the other side.

[@YogsenForfoth]

This is some of the most tasty bass playing I’ve ever seen. My god.

Fantastic performance. I love the shape of that bss,and the sound as well,of course 🙂

[@chasers1336]

Hey Remco, I just wanted to say that you were one of my inspirations to start playing bass. I remember watching your video with that amazing blue fretless bass when I was about 12. It was like a lightbulb turned on in my brain and playing bass was all I wanted to do for the rest of my life. 6 years on and I’ve played every single day. I just wanted to say thank you for all that you do. Rock on man 🤘

[@RemcosGrooveLab]

Awesome to hear that, thanks for letting me know! Great that you're dedicated and play every day, that's the right mindset to get there. Glad I've been able to inspire, similar happened to me a while back and that lightbulb only gets brighter, the more you're at it the more fun it gets. Wish you all the best with your playing, keep grooving!

[@RoeyHaviv]

Perfect!

[@oyora]

Love your style dude!

[@hallucinatedovens8414]

How is it that i get recommended this channel, like, every few months, then not again for months?

Another gem. Very encouraging to hear such novel ideas, there will always “something more” to accomplish with music or with an instrument, there is music waiting to be made and artists should make it their mission to find it and make it happen. 💪🏼

[@thecarismamusic]

Wow !!! Pero Que talento y que destreza !!! Genial, No es el bajo, es el bajista !!! Muchas gracias, que deleite verte tocar de esa manera y esa técnica tan buena.

As a fretless bassist myself, I can only ever aspire to have as much fluidity as you do. ❤

[@RemcosGrooveLab]

Thanks, you should go for it though! It took me many, many hours but I got there, so can you. I appreciate your comment, stay fretless and keep at it!

[@MDMARAMPAGEUK]

Everytime Remco uploads, it's always a funky dirty assault on the senses. I don't know how you come up with these. The grooviest cat on the tube.
