Ha, yeah, there are 3-4 songs I've played in a cover or variety band that were one note as well, all riding the low E (one detuned to a D). I was lucky enough to be needed on keyboard for most of them and set that on a tape loop. I probably at one time could've played this (his cover version) as well. I was definitely faster at slap bass, not sure about finger tapping. He'd slaughter me today on bass (while once primary, it is now behind cello, piano and guitar).

Bass gets a bad rap (if you've ever been in a rock band you know that) the fact that you chose bass and play it like a fkn virtuoso is such a nice breath of fresh air. Way to be a true musician and thank you so much for blowing my mind.

No it’s not Jesus Christ it’s just Charles. Thought that might of been made simple to you. Charles plays bass, Jesus paid the price for sins, is the saviour of his chosen few, can turn water into wine and walk on water. Please do not make that mistake again. Also if you say Jesus doesn’t exist then why are you using his name in vain? You prove it right there.
