Stanley Clarke: School Days Solo

Well what can i say, i have 3 idols... Victor Wooten, Marcus Miller and ofcorse Stanley Clarke. This is the song School Days from the album: The Bass-ic Collection.
I love this song and this solo!
Enjoy!!

[@ShangoDC]

Still the greatest bass solo by the greatest bass player ever. I think people forgot about this master piece. This solo liberated the bass and bass playing.

:46 That White Guitar is a delicious --> instrument. I am replaying over + over; now this time closing my eye + allowing its melodious calming melody seep into every weary bone in my body refreshing my soul with knowing an Angel Being truly does care about me. That alone is healing. ;-) SO Thank you 'Stanley Clarke for this solo of delight. Tears came; a gentle being I AM and emotions are being effected right now making me WEEPY. Gems like this sent your way in loving-ness is Priceless. XXOO

[@Kradantoste]

this bass solo is so relaxing yet it also transmites joy... together with the different techniques used & their performance, the great melody, harmony & rhythm it has and its awesome back-up (drums, guitar & keyboard) it brings one of the greatest bass solo EVER. Simply amazing, awesome, or should I say fantastic? No words??? Then it's a masterpiece. But not any masterpiece, This is one of the biggest pieces ever. (& It's about schoold days!!!)!.!

[@raveniskcrow]

This has got to be one of the greatest solos of all time. A beginning, a middle and and end. It is what is missing from 90 percent of all solos. Stanley you rock!

[@nancyl2]

LOVE my Bass!!!! Just delicious to my soul. Thanks for sending me this gem and the poster of this vid; it is lovely and :46 that white guitar most Beutiful. LOVE this artists deep deep soul resonating right within. XXXOOO Magnificent!!!!!

[@pearlbeachbagus]

@Wetter02 ,....Thanks for posting it I love it .........The best bass ....ever ...I don;t know Victor Wooden and Marcus Miller ...bur will investigate ...

[@daveedine]

this is the closest feeling to wonderfulness

[@bananafingerrrs]

@funkbeastbasslover I was lucky enough to see Stanley, Victor and Chick Corea all in the same gig. I think when I left the gig, my brain had melted.

[@77tuff]

Stanley Clark is a very very good and talented bas player i will always say big up big Stanley

[@NPjazzsaxmusic]

the track school days is from the album 'school days', the bass-ic collection is, as its name suggests, a compilation of Stanley's music, primarily as a bassist and composer.

[@juandiaz-er1vd]

Cuando escuche a este virtuoso la primera vez salí corriendo a comprar sus discos y eso fue hace tiempo. EXCELENTE

[@pearlbeachbagus]

My favorite for 30 years ...La creme de la creme .....Yeeesss

[@B455PL4Y3R]

FANTASTIC quality upload thankyou

[@needles666x]

Beautiful Basses!!! O_O

[@renaudbonneville]

woooooow man, that's what I call a solo. Stanley Clark got RYTHM

[@winchuni22]

I wasnt sure after the first min. After that, man thats awesome.

[@stevoe1000]

I remember the first time I head this album, I think it was back in 1981 or 2 ...oneo f my first influences on the bass as well as Mark king at the same time..

[@pepaperez5178]

Una pasada!! me encanta...

[@grepodstfj]

stanley is GOD

[@GlobetrottingMusicologist]

GREAT ONE! Everyone, stop defending your favourite musicians! Whether people think it's good or bad, that's how they feel and nothing you will say will change that. Why get drawn into a senseless argument? Look how many support these comments get? It distracts from the music whenever I read them, but I like to see what people say. It's becoming more and more of a toss-up whether I should read or not. Also, ignore comments that you think are stupid or inane or badly spelled or all three!

[@JanVanGalen]

very nice!

[@hazardous1990]

amazing

[@B455PL4Y3R]

I remember listening to this when i was about 10. I knew i wanted to play from then onwards, didn't really start trying properly until recently, last year. I hope to reach stanley level one day! I also want to play a Fodera. Shut up. We are all aloud to dream. =)

[@azzwelay]

I only have 1 thing to say [WOW}!!!!

[@fombass]

i love it

[@skinny12331]

Two distinct bass tracks.

[@pearlbeachbagus]

I was introduced to Stanley Clarke long ago and to listen again this piece ,is magic but the exact version is impossible to get ...so I will try to post it to you .....Your version is and stays number one .....Thanks for your reply ..The solo from Itunes from the BASS-IC collection is differend and lasts 7 mns ...Why ?Big mystery ..Disappointed to buy it ,and got not what I wanted ....which is your version ....which lasts 4.30.......

[@4to88strings]

@bunchOcookies Alembic...Ugly??? I guess everyone has an opinion but DAMN!! Go to Alembic website and check out some of the most beautiful, playable pieces of art that exist. It is an instrument to hand down for generations. I have played/owned every bass known to man (and some maybe not) and Alembic is without a doubt one of the best. Don't get me wrong, I love my 40 yr old P bass, and wouldn't take 10 grand for it, but I would be proud to own an Alembic.

[@GreatDealsMedia]

I have never seen anyone perform surgery on a bass until now!!!

[@lion82292]

the bass at 00:40 rocks my world

[@fhernandomustang]

soy de el salvador stanley sera mi heroe

[@mapsyrup]

good stuff :)

[@bunchOcookies]

@4to88strings cool i love P's. I have a Fender Jazz bass. Dunno the exact price anymore, but she's real easy to handle. I'm saving money right now for a Fender P. I love how the Jazz basses play, but Precision basses have a real good sound in my opinion. I'll try to get hold of an Alembic once.

[@1980Triumph]

Nothing Jaco ever played came close to this right here....not ever no never!

[@ShangoDC]

Thank!

[@4to88strings]

@bunchOcookies I hear ya. I wasnt trying to preach. Anyway Im a Fender guy. Prefer P over Jazz but I have an exceptional P (sold my jazz a year ago) If you love the old stuff youd love my P It is still somewhat black but well worn. Bought used in 77. It was either it or a Rick 4001. I have NEVER regreted my decision. She's sweet. I've played 'em all. I even have a cheap Ibanez 5-string that plays and sounds great. BUT if you ever have a chance to play/hold an Alembic you'll be in love. Later.

[@squish420]

all three are very talented, but my idols are Stanley Clarke, Les Claypool, Flea, and Alex Webster....look em up if u have never heard them.

[@AEFic]

Agreed.

[@pearlbeachbagus]

I would LOVE to buy this version ,solo ....Not avalaible on Itunes !! Does anyone knows How and where can I get it ? My favorite of all time from Stanley Clarke ...The MASTERPIECE ...He is genius !!

[@lwm3398]

Is that Dune Tune I hear in the beginning? OH MY GOD. If you haven't already heard the song look it up, but the likeness is uncanny.

[@bugsnuts1]

Eddie VanHalen is Stanley Clark on guitar!

[@funkbeastbasslover]

I noticed u said your three idols were Stanley Marcus and Victor, PLEASE tell me you saw SMV Live then, it was one of the most amazing things to have occurred on this planet

[@4to88strings]

@bunchOcookies By the way, If you want to hear some of Stanley's best stuff, check out Return To Forever's Romantic Warrior. Amazing album. One cut in particular "The Dual Of The Jester And The Tyrant" is awesome. Some of Stanley, Chic, Al and Lenny's best work ever.

[@NPjazzsaxmusic]

ah the old 'your mom', nice to see you had a decent response up your sleeve... where do you guys come from? seriosusly.

[@6ramses6]

the weed still feels better. man long time ago since i had some good weed :p

[@MoarCheeseBirb]

I for one would like for them to have cut back on that synth-strings section they've got. Other than that the rest of this clip is STELLAR. This man is out hell of a bass player....

[@lwm3398]

@Wetter02 I know it's not exact, but it's definitely a similar melody.

[@4to88strings]

@bunchOcookies Paid 300 for my P back in the 70s I've turned down offers for 3000. Was playing rock/ jazz and installed DiMarzios for a hotter sound but went back with original PUs. It came with rosewood fb but has a maple since early 80s. You can hear some of my stuff at Ourstage and/or facebook under Diego's Diner. Personal profile on Ourstage is Low B. I had a nice Jazz until about a year ago. My influences range from Stanley to Entwistle to Geddy Lee. Good luck in your P search.

[@endrizo]

did he always played Alembic basses??

[@ShangoDC]

Started playing around 73 and used them almost exclusively to this date.

[@Flemmingdoerken]

3 idols, huh? :-) So did you see the SMV-show?

[@Kradantoste]

@rintintin7529 The reason I said it its because some people may be speechless towards this & when I get inspired by such masterpieces I have the tendecy to write a lot. And No I'm not American. I think you can see in my channel my nationality (which btw is Portuguese). Still thx & enjoy this solo.

[@anonymous0s0egion]

The Bass-ic Collection

[@JanCarlo88]

referring to the info: what about jaco pastorius ??

[@pearlbeachbagus]

@Wetter02 ...I'm trying to get this exact version ...I follow on I tunes the bass-ic collection school days solo and it last 7mns .. your version lasts 4mns 31 ...I listened again and again ...different version ...very disappointed ...HOW TO GET YOUR VERSION mY FAVORITE tHANKS VERY MUCH

[@rintintin7529]

@Kradantoste for someone saying no words you've sure said alot! You must be American?

[@oprichnik85]

и оспорьте... это круто!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@1980Triumph]

people say music isn't a competition yet they are always claiming Jaco is the best in the world, which means he is the best. Excuse me for saying that Stanley is better than Jaco and this piece of music proves it

[@ShangoDC]

Totally agreed. I've been a Stanley fan since 73-74. Jaco was great, but Stanley could play rings around Jaco. It's to much Jaco talk as the greatest.

[@Denthedragon]

3:09 is that him and John Lennon?

[@Zaul2410]

Pioneer on electric bass

[@drummakid101]

2:58 Jimi Hendrix on Bass.

[@TimmyCommerford]

i love marcus and if he loves stanley...i guess i have to do it too. but dudes, Jaco is Jaco :)

[@ShangoDC]

Jaco was tremendously great, but not this great. The greatest bassist ever.

[@sumpade]

..... the title says "stanley clark SCHOOL DAYS solo"

[@FUNKspex]

@lwm3398 def Dune tune to these ears

[@BassAce691]

@lwm3398 that exactly what I thought!? It was so alike :S

[@VulgarMongoose]

holy shit the beginning sounds exactly like dune tune

[@AAInventors]

@Kradantoste Well Said

[@B455PL4Y3R]

Almost? :P

[@XxdieformetalxX]

Didn't Stanley get the first Carl Thompson?

[@ShangoDC]

Yes he did and played it on this album.

[@eastcoastrider23]

almost like a hendrix of bass

[@denmanhippy]

anyone know what this song is on?

[@bunchOcookies]

@4to88strings I don't know about how it sounds or plays. I think it looks ugly, Just my opinion though, i prefer the Jaco Pastorius signature! Love the vintage looks.

[@Drezin86]

Pastorius isn't an idol?

[@NPjazzsaxmusic]

ok... my last comment was to inform the person who provided the info for this video. sorry for being informative, guess I should just keep my big knowledgeable mouth shut, even if he is my favourite bassist. And who needs wikipedia when you have a decent album collection?

[@flexcamp]

@lwm3398 No mat...its the other way around, Mark King and Level 42 ripped off Stanley something rotten on at least their first 2 albums...Most Brits have never heard of Stanley Clarke back then and even now. I do like Level 42 and thought some of their early stuff was amazing - 'Brit Funk' at its best. Then I discovered Stanley in '85 and realized where it all came from. Mark King - Great Bass player, Stanley Clarke - Bass Legend, underrated and still unknown by so many in the UK...

[@pito1957]

merde, mes vingt ans... C'était autre chose que le rap...

[@Drezin86]

@Drezin86 Nevermind. Saw your above reply :)

[@2scrimble9]

@Wetter02 Webster is fucking beast, tho he plays DM not jazz etc.

[@wallydev-gg]

this men looks like hendrix of bass lol

[@RansakedBassist]

I dont see how Claypool ripped off. Shit I hear his bass playing and I know right away its him. How'd he accually get into the picture here anyways? lol This is a stanley clark bass solo...funny.

[@barrydope]

His upright work is more impressive.

[@bunchOcookies]

0:41 that is one ugly bass, but i still want to have it!

[@Prometheus1991]

Dude from Cannibal Corpse. Good bassist, but no where near Mr. Clarke.

[@crushlies]

That bass is not of this world.

[@fuckamerica109]

his upright bass stuff is amazing but this is just garbage
