Steve Di Giorgio Bass Recording Playthrough - Calling

[@hunter-killer3564]

Beautiful bass in the hands of one of the best metal bassists ever! \m/

[@jacgrobbelaar2425]

TRUE words brother!

[@---dh7lx]

He's weak player, bad technique and boring sound

[@d112cons]

I believe that's pronounced "best bassists ever"

[@EyeTunz]

This is the softest Sadus song I've ever heard.

[@bassican7]

If only bass was always this audible

[@juhos30000]

....And Justice For All....

[@ThrashingBasskill]

...and Justice for Jason...

[@bmathis1710]

Cryptopsy-None So Vile

[@carlosgallegos1265]

Imo the volume is, most of the time, alright (Metallica is an exception), but the equalization... oof. Metal studio producers seem to hate mids, and the players themselves don't seem to help either. Thankfully, we have exceptions like DiGiorgio.

[@sterbern6762]

@@carlosgallegos1265 check out dominic lapointe, he used to be in beyond creation and now is in first fragment and shreds insanely on a 6 stringed fretless bass, its really audible as well and has such a cool sound.

[@Simonize41]

The tone here (and certain elements of his playing) remind me of Geddy Lee. Steve is one the most underrated bassists. Fabulous player.

[@pillepalle3614]

Yes. A mixture between Geddy, Steve Harris and John Entwhistle.

[@invisiblecurious856]

And yes

[@marcsaschek7001]

Steve digiorgio is NOT underrated

[@antoniodirienzo6185]

man, Steve Di Giorgio in not underrated at all... in fact, he's one of the most respected bassists in metal...

[@Bitterstone3849]

Chris Squire. YES.

[@judowrestlerka]

Steve is one of the unsung heros of early 90s metal bass playing. He was doing fretless and complex bass work when others were riding one note for 16 measures and playing an octave and 5th for accents. HAIL KING STEVE!!!

[@The_Absurdistt]

Sean Malone was spearheading the complex bass god movement years before Steve. Albeit, Steve is a really good player too.

[@HarshTruthsLul]

I love how people don't know he used to play bass in Death (R.I.P. Chuck Schuldiner)

[@megiddoxygen]

+Kir0 I'm sad too that people don't know Steves' roots!! Human?! OMG, so much GOODNESS!! Individual Thought Patterns is my fav Death Album!! RIP Chuck!!

[@nayrtnartsipacify]

Gabriel Reis de Carvalho my first hero on the bass. I spent too many hours of my life trying to figure out the end of "the philosopher"

[@sorinaco]

To me he was and he always will the Sadus bass player

[@angelcrusher420]

Kir0 and Testament.

[@killmeslowly0029]

He also played in Autopsy

[@greatkingrat]

That has to be the best looking Rick I have ever seen.

[@ThomasMLampe]

Dom Hawtin guess it's a 4003W

[@freeschaeffercox1640]

I bet its 3 grand, if not more.

[@caseyking8394]

@@freeschaeffercox1640 I think it's just a 4003w with a swapped pickguard, so around $2,300

[@gutbucket260]

@@caseyking8394 Picked up a brand new Ric 4003 Mapleglo out the door for $1499.

[@caseyking8394]

@@gutbucket260 yeah I think the figure I was citing is the recommended price by Rickenbacker. I actually just ordered a fireglo 4003 for a price similar to what you paid. Congrats on your new Ric!

[@biorythmicshifter]

His work on Sadus Swallowed In Black and Vision Of Misery is absolutely stunning. If you haven’t heard those and you love his playing you don’t know what you’re missing...

[@evilevie87]

Those are the best ones. I had just covered one of the tunes from A Vision of Misery. Amazing music on those albums and the bass is just unreal. People ignore it too much

[@Caffeine_And_Seawater]

I love watching DiGiorgio play. He makes it seem so effortless whether hes playing death metal or ambient. His style and tone are amazing

[@88omair]

That Rickenbacker is just stunning. Reminds me of Chris Squire, RIP Killer tone man!

[@ferox965]

total class...knows when to pull it back...what a great player this gentleman is. And that tone is why I play a Rick.

[@jordanm1186]

ferox965 That is why I rate him above Alex Webster. Steve knows when to play while Alex doesn't know when to stop. Both great bassists but Steve does it more for me

[@ferox965]

I think Steve has simply played more genres than Alex. I'd love to see what Alex could do outside the death metal idiom...granted, he doesn't really have to I suppose, but they are just awesome players...

[@ruedestrae8199]

I mean, Steve is also better than Alex in terms of technicality and groove, but I agree. Alex is really awesome, though.

[@brylja3384]

Always love his dynamic since first time I have heard Death.

[@swiinka]

Not much going on in the song, but Steve still manages to make the most of it with his bass line. Brill video.

[@Autos_ena_miden]

I love the way and how fast he changes between different techniques, especially on his right hand

[@tonymusolino2369]

That tune is wicked. The bass playing is awesome.

[@retroxify]

The way he anchors his thumb behind the E string and not on top of it is wild to me. It's part of how he gets that crazy powerful right hand attack. His right hand technique in general is just so bad ass. Power, agility, and economy in equal parts. I discovered him along with Sadus back in the early 90's and as a bass player couldn't for the life of me figure out how he did some of that stuff. So cool to be able to see it finally!

[@rockyhenz3607]

another outstanding performance my brother...my eternal respect and admiration

[@texasturner2313]

Steve has always been one of my favorites. This tune reminds me of Geddy Lee and Rush.

[@hakkikt]

Watching SDG playing the bass is a pleasure in itself. Bass-Master!

[@ikerfernandez3576]

His finger technique is too similar to John Entwistle of The Who, great performance!!!

[@LORDELRICGR]

Perfect fit for the song... So different music styles all these years,but you always fit the bass so perfect and unique,that's the most characteristic part of a great musician!

[@jason5276]

Excellent song from Christos and incredible playing (as always) by Steve!!! That Ric is a beauty to watch

[@manilaroadwarrior7950]

You can really see on his face that he enjoys and loves what he's doing. 🤘

[@erikwalthar7947]

This dude is by far the......"The Dude"

[@Thrasher_Abbatoir]

Love the tone maestro!

[@gastonn8]

I would rather see him playing the ending part of The Philosopher (Death)

[@Autos_ena_miden]

Trust me dude, I work on these parts for about 30 days and still didn't make any great progress. Maybe some day....

[@officialmonkeytoes]

@@Autos_ena_miden kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3jSoZhsbdV7nJI this vid has no fade on the last part, so you should be able to learn off of it.

[@ferox965]

Or Jealousy.

[@JayT851]

This is more musical then technical and musical always comes before technical anyway

[@texasturner2313]

Much respect to one of the best bassist ever.... Well done.

[@r1e2y4]

I really enjoy listening to Di Giorgio and all his crazy bass lines especially on the Death albums! I am not sure if its the track itself or the bass, but the song reminds me of New Order. Some lost "metal" track from Get Ready.

[@andredelemosfreixo1975]

A whole lotta Geddy Lee's vibe in it. Love it! And you are my own personal JC, man! Thanx for the music! Thanx for the bass playin'...

[@RCAvhstape]

Walnut Ric = love

[@brianplayarg3217]

A beautiful instrument, and in his side a great bass

[@merqury5]

Wow, this is my first time checking him out after seing him to a shred on a 6str fretless in a short clip. This man is super musical and free. One of the best technical players Ive seen too and Ive shook hands with myung. A beautiful listen.

[@ArturBernardoMallmann]

Yes!! what a heavy hand! Loved hearing he playing on this rick!

[@Boomstick88]

God that tone

[@Godykras]

What a fabulous master piece!

[@JoseRicardodeOliveiraOli-vw8my]

Sensacional,um dos meus baixistas preferido 👏👏👏

[@mikehernandez1412]

Excelente ejecucion como en todo desde sadus !. Se ha vuelto mi segundo mejor bajista. A veces pienso que el es la evolución de cliff burton si no hubiese muerto !.

[@Danalmagrodrumsnbass]

Muy buen punto de vista. Creo que Steve también podría considerarse un tremendo innovador, en especial cuando introdujo el bajo fretless al metal extremo

[@Septikwill]

Are you Fn kidding me. Well done Steve!! Love it. Big SS here

[@Thesongstaysthesame]

Great player! Knows when to hold back and when to let fly. Weird seeing Steve play a 4 string bass

[@vennomm94]

Happy birthday Steve!! See ya with Testament in Milan!!!

[@amazingbassist5192]

When I saw him play in NC he blew my mind as a bass player.

[@Zullkrokus]

One of a few shortlisted metalhead musicians that been recognized and appreciated by other popular mainstream genre to be in their production.

[@markusbuchner9585]

Der beste Bassist aller Zeiten, eine Wohltat in zu hören.....😊

[@freddygarza1201]

What a Beautiful Bass!!!!!!! And that sound😱😱😱

[@MichaelDBauer]

That is one gorgeous bass.

[@Slipperman2112]

Lo que toca Steve, lo hace oro!

[@warclownband]

this is a brilliant mind and great guy.

[@marcissobadass]

Brutal Seeet! Always the best sounds and awesome textures. Steve you make it look so easy. Saw you play in what looked like cast with Sadus in SF at the Kibuki half using a pick and your fingers! You made that look easy too somehow. 🤘

[@michaelsanchez8519]

I wish Steve would make a video playing his work on Soen's, Pluton. He did such an amazing job on that song. X0

[@gringochucha]

I'd be so stoked to see him play anything from Vintersorg's "Visions from the Spiral Generator" (E.S.P. Mirage?).

[@ronson3161]

When will camera men realize that we don't give a crap about you making a dynamic video? We just want to see what they are doing! The musician is the artist we are here to see not the camera man, just shoot it!

[@BarnacleButtock]

Nunuv yorbiznes this guy is not a cameraman. He runs a studio. As evidenced by the rough start.

[@metaldreams3595]

The worst thing to me always was watching dvds years ago and when it got to the guitar solo the camera man would be pointing it somewhere else!

[@josejuancerdabarraza3544]

Some atrists may like it that way and tell the cameraman/editor to make it more focused on them or something else instead of his playing, or even edit to make look like a playback

[@zygmuntzarzecki]

this bassline is not background, it's foreground!

[@reinforcedsteel3340]

Symbolic acts...

[@ugsdit5296]

he didnt play on that album

[@nicolasbeaudry6158]

Nice modulating effect on the bass😊

so powerful bass tone!

[@zendragonmindtuner6207]

Shit I haven’t seen Steve play a fretted bass that much. What an amazing player. One of the best imo

[@JP16Panthers]

@SDGLowEnd the intro reminds me of some of Bob Daisley's stuff on The Eternal Idol, sounds killer!!

[@dyziu82]

mistrz basówki , Steve the Philosopher of bass

[@AlucardsQuest]

Damn cool, song reminds me of something Dark Tranquillity would do.

Haunting as always

I really need some lessons, this is beautiful bass work.

[@Architekt999]

beautiful song ...

New set of strings guys. Buy them.

Simple enough song to play, but that Rickenbacker just has such a.beautiful tone.

Good one Mr Steve, Rick is soooo masive!!

[@MartinRodriguez-ox7vh]

SDG Is Utterly Amazing!!!!

[@mitjarupel2357]

4003 Walnut Rickenbacker, with a non stock Pickguard, since he changed the white one with an amazing mirror. It makes jaws fall down.

[@ted501]

He is the one... unbelivable

[@leifpaul]

fantastic bass player !!

[@andredelemosfreixo1975]

Great bassline. Very "Geddy" influenced (the Rickenbacker give a big clue!), but entirely DiGiorgio. Awesome job as always.

Best video ever, Steve Di Giorgio!

[@trimlex1]

17 bass players are jealous!!!!!

and 1200 bass players got inspired like me!

Alessandro Petrucci more like 20 guitarists got jealous that they couldn't match his fretboard speed

[@patrickr12342]

Wow, that man plays like a machine. Not my cup of Tea, but pefekt in its way. And a dream of an Rickenbacker Bass!!!

[@damoneubanks9075]

That might be the most awesome Rickenbacker I've ever seen.

[@Thompsongs]

That Ric sounds so good. Can you give details on the signal chain you used? I see the Ampeg head and the Avalon U5 beside it.

[@FERGUSHEN]

Hello from Russia! Cool bass! Cool bass player!

[@voxdei1961]

great job on that rick !

[@Ianlive9]

Steve is the best extreme metal bassist!!!

[@azmiraclegirl441]

And this, kids, is how you play with groove in the pocket AND show off your technical abilities.

[@bragosng1]

This is too easy for him

[@michaelnieves9688]

Realy?

[@Prince_Sharming]

Yes. Far too easy for him.

[@majdhaidar5216]

Haha totally ! XD

[@taomahNEGEV]

Still enjoying playing it.

[@maurocardoso5875]

Maybe he just foent have to play difficult stuff all the time. Maybe he just like to play something great.. and enjoy and have fun doing it

[@tedpertzborn1480]

It's SO strange to see SDG playing a fretted bass. I think this is the only place I've ever seen him with a fretted bass. To the surprise of no one, he still crushes it.

[@jlgugo]

That Ricky bass is legit!

Lo mejor de lo mejor amigo. Haz más vídeos así eres genial lml

What a phenom.
