The one note where you slide your fingers away from each other not only is a beautiful note, but the symbolism that lies within it for the separation of you and your bass, as well as the fact that it’s the two furthest strings from each other and moving in opposite directions...

I watched numerous other 8-string bass videos and they weren't all that inspiring,,, BUT THEN,,, I saw a couple of your videos and they killed me! I started playing 8-string bass in 1968. I bought a Hagstrom as soon as I heard about Noel Redding playing one. I was playing in a loud trio that played a lotta great gigs opening for everybody who came through Florida. I played 8-string on about half of our tunes. I played thru 2 Ampeg BT25 heads, each driving a cabinet with 2 SRO 15's. I had one amp on both sides of the stage and when they were loud and clean they sounded like octaves played on a grand piano. I even bought a second one as a spare, but one night they were both stolen from my car. I started playing bass and guitar in Mudcrutch about then, so 8-string wasn't really needed. But I've been wanting to get one again for recording and if there's ever live music again in my lifetime, I'd love to play some aggressive music on an 8-string. Anyway, Charles, you're a True MoFo!

Bet he gave the bass to 69 guy not because he was the best, but because he really needed a better bass and Charles decided to support his creativity and talent. Which I think is the right move to do, but I would've given it to the Mario Kart 8 guy at the end. No doubt.

[@antoneoromero]

Wise choice

[@rubengutierrez9096]

Hahaha this is awesome, Antonio is my friend, I didn’t expect to see him playing here and also he won, Hell yeah 🤘!

[@jesse_cole]

Charles's "Get it!" face on these is hilarious.

[@mrbookends]

I think Antonio deserves the win because of what he's playing on!

[@ElcioThenorio]

What a lovely video. That's pure Culture and Enlightment. The final song brought tears to my eyes. I just loved it!

[@rebornspawn]

What a beautiful way to send of a bass. It's just onions man......🎸😭 ....😎👊👏

[@mikakovalainen4389]

That last solo you did on the prize bass was amazing and wanted me to bring out my instruments again. Thank you a lot, Charles.

As much as I admire Davie he’s got nothing on you brother! I know my bass players, used to think victor was the best bassist on the planet followed closely by my hero mr Les clay pool but the more I watch and listen to what you do I realise your are a god! The Eminem of bass....keep it real sir 🎸

[@GravyeaYTprodzzzzzzzz]

Percy boy he is better than Davie and perhaps most, But victor.. no way. And of course les mor entertaining than everyone,, !!

[@tenza1988]

If you were trying to compliment him you probably shouldn’t have called him “the Eminem of bass” it’s hella cringe.

[@toaster6068]

Percy boy excuse me what

[@olidul2305]

@@percyboy2066 I thought you were making a "Rap God" reference but nah you just cringe bruh.

[@slacker42uk]

It's unbelievable how, with help of technology, this new generation of bassists have come through and have taken playing to the next level. And we can now see it the world over. Things have certainly moved on from those days of Level 42's Mark King (still my personal favourite)!

[@cjay880]

saw $69 guy and thought he is gonna win, would love to see this again, but instead of a single $1000 bass what about 5 $200 beginner basses for people whom battle you with other instruments like that flute, sax and keyboard did.

[@ryantube8762]

Great idea!

[@sleazysleazy1062]

What the hell is a $200 bass? Starter kits only?

[@cjay880]

nope, what I mean is the same kind of contest but instead of gifting a 1000$ bass to a single bassist, he picks out 5 great players of other instruments and provides them with the tools to learn with and enjoy.

[@EnjoyCocaColaLight]

OMG THIS IS GENIUS!
