Fantastic Video Paul! I love your channel - thank you (PS - Don't forget Oliver Riedel!)

[@ognjengajic5602]

Paul Simonon of the Clash

[@travisstafford397]

Yes please Simonon

[@JS-hh5xk]

Ey someone else agrees

[@scorpioscots9692]

Yes the clash 👌

8:54 "One fantastic example of TIMwork."

[@Jay-jn3sl]

If there's enough content to make a video on him, one on Rex Brown would be great. Super underrated bassist

[@icemike874]

I'll Second That

[@maximummatt73]

Hell yes

[@strykr82]

Tim Commerford is one of my favorite bass players, I always try to copy his tone, hahahaha. Great video, as always!

[@liamjenkins82]

Any tips on getting that tone.

[@stevec6427]

@@liamjenkins82 Buy yourself a Stingray bass. Even a budget SUB Stingray will do it. An Ampeg SVT amp help but they're high maintenance and an Ashdown tube bass amp will get you there. I can get close with my Orange Terror bass. He doesn't use any pedals

[@liamjenkins82]

@@stevec6427 hey mate. Thanks, that's awesome. I'll look into it. Appreciate the reply.

[@bensidaway3343]

@@stevec6427 surely he has overdrive? You can hear it on KITN and I’m sure he doesn’t use the amp effects.

[@bassimprovjams3772]

Same! He’s the first bass player I was able to hear the bass when I was first starting and the reason I play stingray basses just good memories when I hear RATM

[@t.j.meechan682]

You just hit on all the reasons i love RATM and never realized. Such a great combo of Hip Hop, Funk, and Metal. The Sting Ray tone is iconic as well. Great work sir! 👏 👏 👏

[@SixteenJacobsCreams]

4:10 weirdly as you say this point about the pentatonic scale, Bombtrack actually features a non-pentatonic minor scale note (the 3-2-0 at the end of the phrase). Of course the riff is mostly based around the pentatonic anyway. Love the vids!

[@nickcustodi592]

Bullet in the Head is one of my absolute fav bass lines!

[@seanconnors1613]

You gotta do Chris Squire of Yes!

[@yeslyrics8018]

Yes definitely

Great video Paul! Timmy C is one of my top inspirations that pushed me to pick up the bass.

[@MiguelGarcia-uf9ll]

You should cover Chris #2 of Anti-Flag.

[@S4Diii]

what a cool channel. watched at least 10 videos tonight. really well done :)

[@joecal2360]

Paul, what source did you use to determine that Tim Commerford has a light touch? I ask because Tim has previously stated that one of the most essential aspects of his tone is that he plays with an extremely hard touch, something he specifically focused on after learning about the technique from Geddy Lee. In fact, most of the legendary growl in Tim's tone has nothing to do with the amp, but rather is the natural growl from plucking EXTREMELY hard on fresh strings. This is evident because the growl is present in Tim's DI signal BEFORE it's patched into any pedals and amps.

[@juanbaez3066]

Carlos Dengler from Interpol, listen to The New, I think it's the most Carlos D bassline

[@Erik1970Viking]

awesome and informative video, Buddy -- you make good and objective statements. Well done !

[@ciarancooling3014]

Cool video on Tim, Paul. Could you do a video on Chris Squire or Mike Rutherford.

[@yeslyrics8018]

Definitely, we need a Chris Squire video

[@snakemont]

Thank you Paul! Epic Video! Thank you. Keep it comin!

Eric Avery of Jane's Addiction

[@tomasreyes2515]

Amazing video! Tim have a unique sound 🤘

[@SgtZaqq]

Great video. What Tim also has done a number of times is use some kind of fat and bassy overdrive\distortion\fuzz. E.g. in songs like Testify (RATM) or Gasoline (Audioslave).

[@KaltOhm]

Awesome video!

[@danmcnamara1230]

Paul i love your content! I love all the bassists you've covered, but could you do dusty hill of ZZ Top?

[@mmeshutoz]

Thanx man!!!

[@MarkArandjus]

Tim's basslines are the glue that hold it all together, he enables Tom to go on his wacky solos, and when I picked up a bass to learn his lines I was amazed at how simple yet effective his stuff is. It falls apart without him.

[@MrGlobalcheese]

Good work. You missed the other essential ingredient. Tone. how he gets those sounds. You should break them down and show how they are done in super detail. Because they are very difficult to get right. The tones are Timmy C.

[@MarkyOosterveen]

Could we get a video on Mudvayne's bassist, Ryan Martinie?

[@connordix1859]

Down rodeo has a riff that uses the major 3rd in f sharp

[@neilrobinson7615]

Great insight as usual, although I dislike both RATM and Audioslave. An interesting bass player from the late 70s / early 80s is Bruce Foxton.

[@BrandonMobley614]

Awesome video as always. But I can't help but ask, you don't like Chris Cornell's voice?

[@masbucket3083]

YES

[@masbucket3083]

Chris squire would be a cool video and maybe tam Araya from slayer the Judas Priest video gave me hope lol

[@mikeb.7183]

Best way to sound like Tim Commerford is to find a drummer who has a pocket like Brad and learn to play in and around it

[@DemonSlide]

You should really consider giving Audioslave a spin. Some of Timmy C's greatest work is within those songs and really feel your video suffers from the absence of them.

[@kameronwraithd.k.5363]

Mike Kerr of Royal Blood

[@vitoalloggio8266]

what strings does tim use?

[@vertigoz151175]

It’s not pentatonic minor, it’s blues pentatonic minor, which has an extra augmented forth. The same scale used by black sabbath.

[@paranoidandroidtv7486]

Hello, may I ask how you choose the bassists you are going to talk about? Like, you have to be "familiar" with or do you analise wether you know them or not? Im wondering because I would like to see a 'How to sound like' with Toshiya from Dir en Grey. Is that possible?

[@PaulDelBelloYT]

I tend to review bassists I'm familiar with and also bassists that this community would like to have reviewed. Occasionally I do Instagram polls to find out what to do next.

[@renatoestrela2747]

Amazing video. Can you talk about of paulo from sepultura

[@bassandfuzz]

i mean... Until Arise he didn’t even record his bass lines on studio, and nothing he ever did was actually amazing. I love sepultura tho but Paulo is just not a great player at all.

[@GonkHWWC]

I think that he follows Morello is a myth. He created so many great leading bass lines, like most of Evil Empire and many Audioslave songs. In my opinion Morello does not really know what to play over those lines and chooses to play one chord or some noise, like in Testify, Without a Face or Roll Right.

[@han_mono]

Absolutely, not to mention parts he varies when Tom goes all crazy.

[@ColinDada99]

Not a lot of love from you for Timmy C, disagree with you on this one Paul. He plays finger style, he slaps, he plays chords, he’s always experimenting and changing his sound/tone. He def doesn’t play softly, he wails away with his fingers, and his groove is absolutely insane. He also doesn’t mostly play at a slow tempo, what about RATM is slow?! Maybe a little on audioslave, as was the point. And the only 2 reasons he’s good is because of Brad Wilk & Tom Morello?! Yes him and Brad are one of the top rhythm duos in rock/heavy music. But you think Nikki Sixx, one of the most boring and unoriginal bass players is good? I’m confused. I love your videos and usually agree with you, but you couldn’t be more wrong this time. Do Troy Sanders next pls!!!
