[@AnthonyMuthurajah]

Blamelouis thanks man! Haha. Seriously, it’s been a minute. I’m going to binge watch that dvd soon!

[@fretlessfender]

Same excuse Jaco uses on Portrait of Tracy in that video...

[@pilomusiko]

i like your tone choice

[@gssong7111]

Check out Jack Pearson on his squier affinity and bullet strats! Phenomenal!

[@hazmaticx1994]

I subscribed when i saw a video of you playing john coltrane and jaco pastorius,keep up the great content,love the sound of your bass btw

[@chih-shengcheng1130]

True , note choice and timing are the biggest part to recognize a player . Then the tone , gear matters . But you can hardly define some great session player or studio ace by the sound (they do need hundreds of setting )

[@ignaciomeyerp]

Great video, Anthony!

[@martingesser3846]

Do you ever use the neck pickup?

[@thomasjackson4702]

Another great and inspirational video. What is the chord progression that you used beginning @ 8:31 ?

[@niallsbasstones9713]

[@manolomendieta5251]

Thanks o lot!!! Peace

[@tastybassy8135]

I feel like you should know the subtle ways to use either gear or fingers (both) to get the desired effect.

[@tiasoozukum3589]

Your videos are very inspirational. Keep it coming. 🤘 Regards from Nagaland.

It is the bass in you hands

[@vincentm614]

There was a time back in the 70s when I started to learn bass where playing rock and roll you had to project force and energy in order to be heard and drive the band. Jazz players in those days used to put down electric bass and say that electronics obscured the tone. To a certain extent that was true. Guitar and piano sounded much more musical than an electric bass. Todays bassist however seem to be alot more musical and picky about their sound. Bass players like yourself have a wonderful tone from the get go and sound just as beautiful and musical as a guitar or piano. I myself am becoming more and more aware of tone and like you I love a nice clean clear tone without alot of grit and grime. I also agree that a passive fender bass sound is very beautiful in the right hands. Bobby Vega does it with a pick and Jeff Berlin is another with a beauitful tone. Youre playing reminds me of Jeffs but youre a little more funky without resorting to slapping. But slap players too like Victor Wooten get a beautiful on their instruments. Thanks for posting and Im slowly learning from people like you and Jeff that a softer touch makes a diffrence.

Hello master, can you show how to play picking right hand in solo's speed Thanks for your channel Im subscribe you 👊☺

[@jackansell25]

All very true. I’m always buying nice gear, mainly for reliability though if I’m honest. I just bought a squier 5 string jag bass and replaced the pickups for Aguilar p/j’s. Partly for the sound but also because of the hum on bridge pickup. Just a side note though; do you think we sound better when we play more often? Not as in technique (that’s pretty obvious) but because your skin gets tougher and produces a better tone? I definitely feel like I notice if I haven’t played for a week or so and my skin has gotten soft? Keep up the great videos man. Big fan of your work! 👍🏼

[@fretlessfender]

Playing a lot, recording yourself and listening back and be true to your self is the whole deal. Not only the fingers but a bass start sounding better after breaking it in. The wood changes by the vibration... some people call it Mojo... but sticking to one or two basses (fretted and fretless) makes you adjust to that instrument. My main instruments are newly bought by myself. Now they are 25 to 30 years old... and the are nothing like when they were new. Can say the same about myself. Not very expensive gear... Mexican Fender Jazz fretless and a Fenix 5 bass Jazz. I've been offered multi the price I paid for them. But I don't sell them. To much work went into them to make them sound like they do. Listen to the Squier of this guy. All this is done by working hard and playing a lot. Good tools will help, but in my book it is a non essential... work! Staying out there and applying it. (Jaco P) If it was good enough for him, it is good enough for me...

[@mattfoley6082]

Jamerson played dead dirty old flatwounds he never changed and his action was way too high. And yet you know it's him just from his tone and style.

[@ritwikghosh8174]

Can u plz said me ur bass model name?

[@redd6399]

So you say I don't have buy those new bertolini pick ups for my bass bro ? 😂. By the way you made more bass faces in this video than you did when you dropped that monster solo on us .😂 Very good information. Great question from samari bass, and Great answer bro . Keep it coming.

[@AnthonyMuthurajah]

No you don’t! Hahaha I was well rested and shot this in the morning, so I had plenty of energy 😀 Cheers man. Take it easy ✌🏽🙏

[@redd6399]

@@AnthonyMuthurajah I could tell . Big fan of your style Anthony ✌🏽🙏🏽

[@rillloudmother]

Oh it's my hands...

[@jph7957]

Anthony, man... You swapped the BoBT bridge for an original Badass => tone is in the bridge, period. ;)

[@brynportas5300]

Great video, as always! I've become recently a bit obsessed with educating myself in soloing in a jazz context on bass, and can't help but be in awe of players like yourself, Evan Marien and Janek Gwizdala among others. How would you suggest getting started with creating those long, flowing sequences? The 2-5-1 hack video really helped me with a bit of vocabulary, but as soon as it came to extending the lines, using the scale, my jaw hit the floor with how effortless you made it look. Any further tips?

[@gssong7111]

Church out Jens Larsen channel... He is a great Guitar Player/ teacher.... He has a few playlists that break down exactly the building blocks you are asking about. Great luck!
