That has to be one of the sexiest tones to come out from a fretless bass. Awesome playing as usual, too.

[@ErlendCaspersen]

I appreciate you taking the time to clear up this supposedly impossible conundrum,I detract my previous statement and will honor you with a badge, making you a part of the Recently Resurrected Honest Zombie Patrol Squad Team Force. RRHZPSTF for short.

[@dylan7919]

Your control on your tone is amazing. I'm so glad I'm found this. It's inspirational.

some of the most insane bass playing I've ever seen

[@PyrrhicSalvation]

DAT TONE. No, seriously. Mad jealous of the skills, and the bass!

[@johnny2231]

Dude, you are awesome!!! Plus Warwicks!!!! i love'm.

[@felphero]

fucking beautiful tone goddamn

[@Th0max15]

you make cannibalisticzombie look like lars ulrich.... YOU ARE AMAZING!!!

[@ErlendCaspersen]

Not sure why I would waste my own time and the time of the band (studio+deadline=money) by taping everything twice. Fretless parts are obviously just thought out beforehand and placed thusly. I don't learn the songs up front before I start recording, so like anyone else, I just want to get it over with as soon as possible.

[@Accasi]

You should record more of your songs with your fretless bass, is so fucking awesome

[@_witchyy_]

It was so awesome I was resurrected as a zombie for the sole purpose of making that comment and then this reply, explaining the situation.

[@massibrero]

grotesquely excellent❤

[@_witchyy_]

I think I died from the levels of win displayed in this video.

[@MrPsy0pus]

you rock dude !! funny face at the end : 0

[@Dwellingers]

fretless... speechless...

[@ErlendCaspersen]

Why do people keep thinking it`s defretted? It`s a standard Warwick Thumb 6 NT with lines.

[@xavplusplus]

This is pretty sick. I am going fretless and I think I'll try to learn this next.

[@ErlendCaspersen]

As was my impression of it years ago, and it just comes to show you haven`t made a proper effort in finding something you like. Saying you don`t like electronic music is like saying you don`t like i.e rock. The span within electronic music surpasses metal and is so big you literally have no clue where to begin. Venetian Snares is the Frank Zappa of electronic music and goes through so many different genres seamlessly that I`ve never even heard a metal come near it in terms of creativity.

[@mrkasaval]

Pretty sick dude. Pretty sick sick!

[@ErlendCaspersen]

Your reading skills are not deceiving you.

[@quartersawflesh]

Erlend, you are my hero

[@ErlendCaspersen]

Haven`t played that song in years and don`t play in the band anymore, so that`s just waaaaay too much more effort than I got saved up in my bank.

[@cococroc]

Bass God!!

[@amiiie93]

okej, tack så mycket för svaret! (:

[@MestariDuff]

It's a damn shame you are not in the band anymore. Why did you departed ? Otherwise... it would still be awesome to see you play some Blood Red Throne material... You have recorded some of my favorite bass lines and tracks with Blood Red Throne. It would be a shame to let these masterpieces disappear...

[@ErlendCaspersen]

That`s physically impossible since there`s no microphone, just a direct signal from my bass with an added MP3 track.

[@glacier2win]

Too fucking awesome. I think it's that tattoo.

[@7MetalMessiah7]

i love you.

[@ErlendCaspersen]

As I just said , that is physically impossible. If that was true, there would be a ton of really weird albums out there, if Nuendo/Cubase etc. picked up on Windows`s messaging sounds. It`s a direct signal from my DI box, into Nuendo, any sound from Windows will not be able to affect it, obviously.

[@ErlendCaspersen]

If it`s a band, I`ve basically stopped checking out new death metal acts years ago.

[@mortalcoil1541]

I saw liked the video and realized it was at 666 likes, very nice

[@blackdahlia313]

Lmao i like how its under comedy category XD

[@ntbhoang]

respect your playing ! I don't know but if you can record BRT - Deranged Assassin. It would be awesome, great tune.

[@Orval666]

Well, at least we share something: I too have a Thumb 6er fretless (but with unlined fingerboard).

[@Nickhuttar]

please, on the next album play only fletless!!!

[@agelessfolly]

Greetings from a Tom Waits fan.

[@quartersawflesh]

Keep it fretless!!!!!!!!!!

[@shadowrichter]

0:04 That bitchslap!! o_O

[@Accasi]

No, no, no, no. U can't play so good xD

[@ErlendCaspersen]

Yup.

[@corybiro]

sik ,as usual bro

[@CrisGarcia6]

Which brand is the fretles bass?

[@ErlendCaspersen]

Warwick Thumb 6

[@ErlendCaspersen]

Just bass guy. Or rather, office clerk.

[@GoonerTy]

Fuck that was awesome.

[@jiangchangkui5848]

Cool

[@ErlendCaspersen]

Answer would still be the same.

[@ErlendCaspersen]

Du favoriserer torsk og diskriminerer andre typer fisk, eller?

[@Accasi]

CARE! Don't try do do it in your home guys!

[@tedpertzborn1480]

Are you playing this with 2 fingers picking or 3? It looks like 2, but this is monstrously fast for 2 fingers. Just curious. Amazing playing.

[@ErlendCaspersen]

I continuously switch between 2-3-4 fingers depending on how demanding the speed and string skipping for certain parts may be. This song is almost exclusively two fingers, though.

[@suandikasudiro3272]

god like u man holly shit :D

[@patrolmostwanted]

No, he didn't record a whole album with them in 2012...

[@thinkpad20]

what makes you decide to do some things with fretless vs fretted? More about the sound produced, or do you find some things are more playable on one or the other? Also, what do you do live for songs that have fretless and fretted parts?

[@ErlendCaspersen]

+thinkpad20 The better question is rather why would you want one single sound for the entirety of the song\album? We don't really play live, and if we did I'd just use a fretted bass for everything. It's not like anyone would notice.

[@chinox1996]

why dont you play live shows?

[@ErlendCaspersen]

Cause we are scattered between three different countries and don't have an album to support anymore. Going on tour is financially speaking something that doesn't make up for time taken off work, so it's not something we'll do unless we're guaranteed being able to pay our bills.

[@dustinverdone1235]

Awesome playing and love the warwick. Do you have flats or rounds on that bass?

[@dustinverdone1235]

nevermind saw your comment on The Evangelist playthrough video that you play rounds :)

[@ErlendCaspersen]

Correct. Never tried flats at all. Never bothered learning anything about strings up until this last year, so I never went out of my way to try different stuff. Not totally sure, but I assume the ones used here are Elixir .135.

[@ErlendCaspersen]

Recording new stuff this month.

[@amiiie93]

Är det en vanlig 6 strängad bas som du defrettat? Och vad är för basar brukar du spela på? Jag spelar själv 6 strängad bas (inte fretless) och du är min största inspiration! Fortsätt lägga upp videos, det är väldigt uppskattat, och väldigt lärorikt! Ha det bra // Amanda

[@probassistNOT]

Which format did you finally use? Because the previous video had audio like 0,5s later than video,and this seems fine.

[@S1kTh66]

You have your life goal set out, eh?

[@Klasharx3x]

well you're saying that the sound of the bass comes from pc? if that's true then it can be a fb sound, its like when you chat with a cam that doesn't have mic and it shows the sounds of your pc, for example a video of youtube.

[@johnny2231]

DUDE!! Have you played planetside 2 at all? you should check it out if not

[@MetalCrull]

I was about to like this video but hey, there are 666 likes.

[@AttitudeCastle]

I'm assuming live you played it like this, as in with the fretless for the whole song? Or would you just play it on a fretted?

[@The-Duggernaut]

Do you use all four fingers on your right hand to do the sweeps that comes in at 1:35 like in your demonstration video?

[@williamcastro6202]

Great playing, Congratulations? What Tuning used?

[@ErlendCaspersen]

Det er Warwick basser og den er ikke defrettet.

[@ErlendCaspersen]

But...you`re still here? Liar :O

[@Klasharx3x]

When are you going to upload more stuff about The Allseeing I?

[@superdog1133]

What's your honest opinion on CannibalisticZombie?

[@balsac69nice]

Bartolini's or MEC's?

[@blackhatch46]

fretless is superior in my opinion.

[@probassistNOT]

Any chance that you'll ever record Spiritual Deception?

[@Infin1tas]

You defretted ur old bass? :P

[@zenobass5925]

do you use flats?

[@superdog1133]

Haha, no. I'm talking about the youtube bassist.

[@ErlendCaspersen]

Seems like you totally misinterpreted what I said if your impression of electronic music is trance and techno, which I guess is common for people who are clueless about the genre. Oh well, not gonna delve more into it.

[@johnny2231]

its free

[@Matty_McRad_Actual]

Did you record the Incurso album all of fretless?

[@ErlendCaspersen]

No, just a handful of parts are fretless.

[@dsaillant811]

I've been looking to buy a 6-string Warwick soon. How does the size of the neck compare to something like a 6-string ibanez or ESP? I realize Ibanez necks are probably a lot thinner, but how much would one notice the transition?

[@ErlendCaspersen]

+Dan Saillant I've never played any six strings from either of those brands, so I wouldn't know. Chart on their site explains it in more detail - www.warwick.de/en/Warwick---Products--Instruments--Customshop---Masterbuilt--Basic-Bass-Models--Thumb--Thumb-NT--Thumb-NT-6-String--Thumb-NT--6-String--Features.html

[@JARED.ROACHO]

I have a Warwick Thumb 6BO, and the neck is thin, not like an Ibanez but it doesn't feel like a chunky baseball bat, it's comfy, buy a Warwick if you can ;) "No regrets"

[@maxjjk]

Where did the fretted version go?

[@ErlendCaspersen]

Why do people get tired of doing the same old shit for 20 years? You tell me.

[@mmmmmmmtoast]

Err, unrelated but curious, you were commenting in norwegian right?

[@ErlendCaspersen]

translate.google.com/ vil gi deg svarene du trenger.

[@mmmmmmmtoast]

***** oh duh, chrome even has a translate button.

[@ErlendCaspersen]

No?

[@saulgc4725]

Which eq do you use for this song? And standatd tunning? Im really waiting for more songs you are a beast man.

[@ErlendCaspersen]

+Saúl García Campos This was four years ago, so I have no clue. I never touch the dials on the bass and just set them to 50\50. Standard tuning for everything on this channel.

[@saulgc4725]

+Erlend Caspersen I know just wanted to try if you remember it. Thx and keep playing the way you do, so amezing such wow

[@Accasi]

The fail harmonic of 1:12 xD

[@Klasharx3x]

Facebook chat sound @0:34

[@headbangerrush1307]

Gamer spotted :D Qck man hahaha

[@ErlendCaspersen]

Not at all rude, just thought it was kinda self explanatory. The usual, Frank Zappa, Venetian Snares, Terminal 11, 5uu`s, Tom Waits.

[@maxrobinson9553]

Basically play random scales

[@SteveAyanami]

Or basically open your ears and recognize the key(s) and time signatures and structure and understand it's anything but random.

[@ErlendCaspersen]

Nope.

[@websterx9]

Not really.

[@Grunik1618]

Steel Series sucks. :D

[@TheChemistryViking]

Has this bass been converted from fretted to fretless, or are those markers just to give you an idea of where to put your fingers?

[@ErlendCaspersen]

+Ethan Powell Just a regular lined fretless.
