Doug Wimbish!!! Master of Bass. Monster of Rock!!! 👏👏👏👍👍👍🎸🎸🎸👊💥💥💥

[@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

Love it. What a smooth woody sound. Thank you Supro.

[@johnathangarcia8138]

Amazing bassist I'm definitely gonna listen to more of his music.

[@pd4165]

Definitely one of the better rock bass players.

[@RastaSaiyaman]

Start with the albums "Stain" and "Kaleidoscope" by Living Colour

[@revolutionday1]

RastaSaiyaman More like start at the beginning, with Vivid.

[@RastaSaiyaman]

No "Vivid" and "Time's up" have Muzz Skillings on bass, not Doug Wimbish, therefor they won't get you anywhere if you want to find out about Wimbish' playing.

[@FatherRikhi]

Wimbish started with the Sugarhill Gang- so that phenomenally powerful playing on "White Lines" by Grandmaster Flash- that's him (I confirmed it by asking him in person) - he worked with Gary Clail and the On U Sound System in UK. That stuff I'd need to relisten to but was important to me at the time- he did a lot of sideman stuff for big names that I know almost nothing about..... his range of work is pretty encyclopedic.

[@terriblecj]

Kids today really dont know Living Colour?

[@fanoboss]

damb shame ...

[@FatherRikhi]

I see them every time they come to Sydney and they get better each time which is a feat in itself because the tallest mountain just keeps getting higher.......

[@ooferrell]

If y'all haven't seen the Rig Rundown of Living Color on Rig Rundown you should definitely check it out

[@jasonbrooks633]

I am starting to really enjoy short scales

[@miguelr246]

Jason Brooks same lol

[@raphaeledison9236]

a tip : you can watch movies on flixzone. I've been using them for watching loads of movies recently.

[@achillesjames2051]

@Raphael Edison Yup, I've been using Flixzone for since december myself :D

[@JohnnyRei]

This dude is a monster. I've seen him live. Trust me, he's a monster.

[@inevitablecraftslab]

pie-so ... pie-so ... pie-so

[@Aint1S]

Normal bass players give bad names to guys that can go off with only a bass like this man! I need to get some pigment in my skin, black guys have a stranglehold on beats and bass playing.

[@bb-of3qz]

Living Color 930 club wash DC 1987, yup.

[@bflo1000]

This fuckin guy can make ANY bass sing!

[@cookinsdabest]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuhuuck yeah!

[@nickharris9761]

That just put me off the bass as an instrument

[@pd4165]

For Supro dude - staring into the camera intently makes you come across all snake oily.

[@bflo1000]

One of the most versatile bassists out there. Can play anything. It even sounds like he's using a pick (especially w the chords) when he's rockin right the F out! I'm convinced that he doesn't need a pick when he's driving hard w his RH.

[@fanoboss]

... i didn't like the affected tone

[@pd4165]

When you buy the bass don't bother buying the effect. Job done! HTH.

[@davidallen346]

Didn't expect him to a play a short scale bass, usually his basses have 24 frets

[@bryanleigh6497]

Yeah, money caused that to happen.

[@christocr]

If you read the post I originally had here, ignore it. This bass is not from the "Huntington" company that makes really cheap guitars and basses. Perhaps the chosen name for this bass is a bit unfortunate because it could lead to confusion with the budget guitar company called Huntington. Different altogether. So, now that I know this bass is not from that budget company, I'll have to check one out. I'm a big fan of short scales and play them about 80% of the time (and 15% on long scales and 5% on upright).

[@desmondteague2441]

DOUG WIMBISH!

[@hawkyxvx1786]

damn only 20 frets.

[@legman1476]

And 4 strings.

[@bflo1000]

That's all I need.

[@HBSuccess]

Should have invested $10 in a Snark tuner.

[@r.c.vincent6063]

That is one bad ass bass player.

[@revolutionday1]

I need me some of those spaceman pants.

[@lennierichardson1387]

#wefunk

[@franciscoramones929]

me quedo con Ibanez talman por el precio...es casi lo mismo

[@knives_on_static]

Not at all. Both short scale. But one is PJ the other is a Pocket Bass / Ozark hybrid

[@TheMusicmak3r]

weeee!

[@charliearavena3030]

bass player ???????

[@kirkpedersen7504]

Doug Wimbish from Living Colour - incredible player, right?

[@tylermarofske4093]

Thought he was a spector guy...

[@pd4165]

He's a $$$$$ kind of guy.

[@RastaSaiyaman]

Back in 2001, I saw Living Colour live and it was during the time that Doug was endorsing Ibanez and had a signature model. So when the basses came out, I was amped, eager to find out how they would perform. The first case is opened and out comes his orange Spector four string and I go "Fair enough, he has played that one for such a long time." so the second case come up and out comes his blue Spector five string and from the thrird case comes, you guessed it: ANOTHER SPECTOR! That's when I realized that maybe, just maybe it wasn't all smooth sailing between Doug and Ibanez.

[@mattiasjp]

RastaSaiyaman I think those Ibanezes are really hard to come by. I think he has played Spectors since the 80s, but these Supros are such a different type of instrument, that he can use it for certain songs or sessions and still be on good terms with Spector.

[@vadimberezenkov4934]

0:46 this is the worst sounding pedal I've ever heard

[@bflo1000]

I like the Pigtronix Bass Fat Drive (which I have) that he's demoed. Nice fat filth.

[@rockychieng88]

this dude looks like Booker T from WWE.

[@timesink8947]

Dude, it's Doug Wimbish

[@Duncanlinc]

rockychieng88 CAN YOU DIG THAT

[@foganewgon]

5x 5x!

[@LIKWID]

rockychieng88 SUCKAAAAA 😃cue the fireworks haha

[@deepfriedmango]

Tell me you did NOT just say that.

[@fosforus1588]

"Here's a demo playing a bunch of sh*t you'll never ever use in a song."

[@bflo1000]

I love it!

[@masternippleblaster]

I kinda don't dig this sound at all - to be honest it sounds like crap. Just to get this straight, playing is à la Doug but the sound sucks royally!
