I started to take bass lessons at 57 because of the likes of Meshell and Bernard Edwards, fan since 178 when I was 12. Setting the bar mighty high.

Thanks for the comment Bro !! 😊🙏👍

[@fredericwursten4883]

Hi and well done!! Me'Shell... a sort of bible on its own!! a pleasure to listen to you... you have a superb sound! can you say more about the bass, in particular the microphones, what are they? is it a passive or active system? one last question if you want to answer it, the bass has a normal size? I'm asking you all this because I would like to buy an elwood bass from Maruszczyk and I'm hesitating between a short scale and a medium... then I like the sound of your bass so I don't know yet which microphone to put on it mine...

[@musopaul5407]

Great job! You made a real performance out of it, and you added some really funky slap of your own in the interlude. It was also nice that you referred to Me'shell as "a great artist", which she is, as as distinct from just a great bass player (which is also true!). I wondered why you left out those high Fs, F sharps and C sharps in the chorus. Do you think they were overdubbed, or played live?

[@WrobelMichal]

Thanks for the comment Bro! Yes, I think you're right - there are some details added on the second bass line. In my version I tried to lead the groove as I hear it and feel it

[@vivomusicatwist4893]

Dude! :)

[@GOtheVOPro]

This is one of the most excellent performances of this bass track I've ever seen. May I ask, how did you get your camera to focus on a specific part of the fretboard, and keep the foreground and background out of focus? That's a very professional technique, which makes your video look amazing. How did you do it?

[@WrobelMichal]

Hi George! I am very grateful for your kind word. I like when the image is part of the music - when it complements each other.The image is due to my friends who made this video, such an effect was achieved through manual focus and old lenses.

[@GOtheVOPro]

@@WrobelMichal Hey Michal. Thanks for the quick reply. Can you help me with the right hand finger pattern....particularly in the 2nd bar with the open E, A to A# slide, (A# Octave), A# to B slide, (B Octave). Thanks so much! If it's easier to email me, my address is [e-mail].

[@michaelanthony9068]

I think Michal Wrobel was born into a poor black family in Louisiana. Where else could someone get SO FUNKY ???

[@WrobelMichal]

Hahaha I would love to spend my childhood there :D I would like to fly there someday and go to a gospel mass in the church! I send you my regards Bro ! Thank you for your nice comment :)

[@michaelanthony9068]

@@WrobelMichal Dammit boy! Your video is part of my every night practice, and that middle section with the slap and seemingly improvised bit, that is a major lesson for me! And I AM in Louisiana !!! You are totally pro, my friend. Wow. You have major feel.

[@deboraferraz8774]

Awesome!!!!! Where can I get the tabs? I'm playing some parts by watching you but not all the track yet...

[@WrobelMichal]

Thanks for the comment Bro! Unfortunately, I have no tabs for this song , I made it by ear . I recommend you learn this song - it's really a lot of fun :)

[@springboard1924]

What pickups and preamp are in your bass? Sounds really nice & punchy!

[@WrobelMichal]

Thanks for the comment Bro ! It is a passive bass with delano pickups. It was used in the recording Aguilar Tone Hammer 500 and Compresor Demeter COMP-1 Compulator

[@inevitable-s8l]

그루브 진짜 엄청나네

[@Thabassmon]

Good job, your tone is a bit too bright when compared to Me'Shell.

[@WrobelMichal]

Thank you for your comment Bro. Exactly tone Me'Shell is amazing and a little different to me. I invite you to subscribe my channel - new videos soon! Greetings
