Pink Floyd - Echoes (Bass Only)

[@Allen-jn4kx]

Roger is one of my favorite bass players along with Sting and McCartney. I love his bass on the version of Echoes on Live at Pompeii, it's vastly improved to this one from Medal.

[@Cole_McWilliams]

As a bassist 2nd year college student who just got into Pink Floyd for various reasons you can imagine ;) , this is very appreciated

[@VintageMdrummer]

This is 100% legit. Been in Pink Floyd fan my entire life. That is all correct

[@nikolaimikhail7774]

The sustain is off but that's usually what happens when you try to isolate an instrument

[@Tomsk80]

@@nikolaimikhail7774 It's a cover, this channel is kinda known for that and this is way too good quality to be isolated.

[@tofumunch69]

This sounds really good

[@MrMarco33333]

Pretty incredible. I initially doubted whether this is the real one but that's got to be genuine. Fantastic clean recording. Thanks.

[@Namilkather]

Dude this guy is “echoes freak” look at his channel , thank u dude

[@SprunkCovers]

Some people may disagree with me but, I think Roger Waters is underrated as a bassist, yes as a singer and songwritter he may be overrated lol, but without him Pink Floyd songs would be empty as hell, his bass lines are cool

[@slippinjimmy6511]

Ricardo Gonveda Waters is my most favorite/influential bassist. Sure he’s not flashy like Geddy Lee but it’s his style that really intrigues me. His approach to the bass guitar is remarkable.

[@duderdudeedoo1984]

LCP who cares how difficult it is. It tells a great story.

[@nikolaimikhail7774]

I don't agree with the extent of emptiness pink floyd songs would have without him but he definitely adds impact and fullness to a great band because he's a great bassist. As a bassist I've played everything from Yes, Rush, and The Who (bands with undoubtedly some of the best bassist of all time) and I can tell you that one of my favorite basslines is Echoes.

[@johnwallace2319]

you have evidence of this in a Gilmour concert, it's basically missing an entire piece

[@nikolaimikhail7774]

@@johnwallace2319 are talking about live at gdansk, yeah I totally agree. That bassist didn't do justice for rog

[@pixxieboii2916]

This bassline remind me Tool song wings for marie bassline

[@Y21U4]

Funky part sounds very unique.

[@nunoharris]

Hi What strings and pedals is Roger using ? Thanks

[@gmail-robertomirandadearau1787]

The one they usually have been used before: delay reverb.

[@garydunham335]

How did you get this tone?

[@bepivisintainer2975]

p bass, plectrum and roundwound stings. Cant go wrong.

[@Farewelltokingz]

@@bepivisintainer2975that’s definitely flats

[@nickhirst999]

The bass player here has done quite a good job of impersonating the original. But it can't be passed off as the real thing!

[@thefyskoogle134]

This sounds like a jazz bass?

[@psslg2467]

Not the original bass track but, anyways, it's a great cover

[@kelvincruz900]

Ufffff beautiful

[@xxEzraBxxx]

sounds like pompeii version?

[@thefyskoogle134]

Pompeii version has the slides up to the 18th fret at the start of the verses

[@dsotgabriel_]

10:04 you can hear this sound that's just on the studio version

[@PutItAway101]

No, the Pompeii version is much funkier, with more aggressive picking and a twangier tone and more muted percussive hits. This softer, barebones version is definitely from Echoes

[@Allen-jn4kx]

No Pompeii version has way more going on and is better than the Medal version.

[@PutItAway101]

This is the studio version, why use a pic from Live at Pompeii?

[@Tomsk80]

its a cover anyway so it doesn't matter.

[@alessandrodimeo2685]

ESISTE UNA TRACCIA DELLA SOLA CHITARRA?

[@LostConcept]

i like this

[@Iexecutioner]

He has the other tracks how could this be fake

[@Tomsk80]

cause they are all...

[@SodaPop11A2B3]

The tone is nice but the playing is wrong and...echo and reverb ???? Not

[@jerry-st7rc]

I prefer phil lesh.

[@warzone6700]

yeah as much as I love Roger, Phil just has so much more going on in terms of counterpoint and rhythm lol

[@Eden_Rubin_Music]

I do respect roger bass playing and tone, and many times he had interesting lines behind the song, but I think that generally the fact that he uses pick ruins the feel of his sound, groove wise he plays way too many long nots, this is not Rick keyboards, bass should be more rythmic and dynamic than that to my opinion.

[@Allen-jn4kx]

No way, pick sounds great. I love Sting's bass playing with a pick, he lost it when he started doing just fingers.

[@Josetheexplorer]

That is the most unattractive way to hold a bass

[@ethanmennie9897]

how else is he gonna hold it? down near his fucking knees?

[@Josetheexplorer]

@@ethanmennie9897 idfk he holds it so weird tho 😭🙏

[@Josetheexplorer]

@@ethanmennie9897 nvm no offense but it's just how he looks 🤫🧏🏻‍♂️

@Josetheexplorer Hey, I'm just curious no offence taken
