nice cover bud, amazing production quality. you should join a band or something

[@andrewaaapb5798]

This should be a meme

[@BionicleSaurus]

What do you mean it SHOULD be? XD

[@pureindo2256]

Indeed 😂

[@caleblightfoot6397]

It’s a cover of a KMAC song

[@CrocoCum]

Pretty good for a beginner I guess. He should learn with KMac

[@finintuk]

Amos is the reason I picked up a bass after watching Tesseract live in London. Thank you, Sir!

[@enzocorrales9788]

Amos is the kind of bassist that every drummers dreams of

[@markmeloney2643]

Amos William's stage moves are unparalleled

[@TheUmart]

especially toes

[@rnzore]

When Amos bends the strings, he's in fact bending the time :D

[@yikmop]

These playthroughs always make me appreciate the band even more, sometimes you don't get to hear certain intricacies when listening to the album as a whole. Thank you for uploading, Amos & Team!

[@j3tt436]

TesseracT is a groove machine

[@Loner262]

Amos Williams is "King" of bass tone. This and the "Smile" playthrough are ridicously good 🔥

[@brandosapien9016]

Now matter how many times I watch this, it’s still tasty.

[@Monkeguitar]

i’ve never heard of this band or this bass player but damn i’m glad it popped up on my feed

[@vetlerradio]

Weird, almost the same for me, I knew the band, but never watched them on KZbin and it popped in my feed too.

[@ivan_osorio]

I got so used to hearing this version that whenever I hear the album version now it sounds so... thin. Wonderful playing, these basslines are incredible.

[@ecw11]

Hugh Grant been killing it

[@Greasyheels]

What I appreciate is that he is so pronounced in all the mixes I've heard so far. As a bass player, I have such a difficult time doing this and trying to push through the mixes in different styles of music.

[@guitaroffthecuff-davids5528]

Seeing Amos play through this is like a work of art all by itself. So many different styles and skills, all perfectly meshed with the rest of the band. The harmonizing that he does with the singer in the middle of the song (while still playing a "normal" bassline at the same time) is so beautiful. This dude is off the chain. Cheers.

[@PapaRainYT]

Man it's ridiculous how clean you are on your bass... I WISH I was that clean on ANY instrument i played.

[@archie_guitar]

Such a treat to watch... Your bass strings are hypnotic in that high of a resolution. Amos, you're not only a musician. You're a true artist!

[@bishop1095]

Just got my first bass this Christmas...God, I can't wait to sound this good! He makes it look so dang easy. Wish me luck all!!

[@markmeloney2643]

8 hours a day for 10 years oughta do it

[@bishop1095]

@@markmeloney2643 I'm game!

[@araxxisinnovations6544]

Music is the ultimate playground. Hope your hands have begun to crave the strings by now

[@TheDude111111111]

hugh grant is so good

[@maxblair3317]

Saw this video when it came out and it really inspired me. Today I bought my first 5 string bass after only a month playing and I just finished learning the intro. Feels like a nice full circle moment.

[@danielsan3681]

🙏❤️

[@Turkentorque]

Nice bass, nice sound, nice riffs, nice hair. 10/10

[@jinggo78]

I agree to all of the above. And yes he does have nice long hair for a man. Some men really can't pull off the long hair look.

[@FoxFavinger]

This guy's technique is mesmerizing.

[@tbldrummer1]

Man, why are all my favorite bassists from the UK? Justin Chancellor, Nolly, Amos, Jon Stockman (he's an Aussie, but still...) Love the way you play Amos!

[@ratlinggull2223]

Aussies are just UK lads with half-American accents.

[@behindthen0thing]

But still

[@Odhil95]

funnily enough this question has been in my head far too long. Probably not my absolute favorite (still a big Ryan Martinie fan) but if i did a top 10 of bass players, 80% of them would be british. In fact i got into bass because of a british player (lemmy). Maybe there's something in that tea that makes good bass players who knows lmao

[@schnozz87]

Check out James Leach from Sikth, another great UK bassist you might dig

[@supereddy94]

Don’t forget muse bass player 🤣🤣

[@jaebassist]

This is legit one of the most beautiful, melodic songs I've ever heard. And your playing is so effortless and smooth! Very nicely done.

[@airgunnyhighway]

WTF. This is so good. The whole composition, "obviously" the bass playthrough, the vocals. So powerful

[@drumboarder1]

I like the part with the bass

[@TheChrono87Show]

Playing that bass like silk... Such a good bassline and that tone is essentially perfect!

[@Pablotrejoastorga]

amazing composition , the bass line is so awesome and the interpretation of Mr. Amos its flawless!!!

[@archie_guitar]

Sweet minimalist aesthetics. Crisp, perfect, production. You probably put a lot of effort and top-end gear into this. I already was a fan, now I'm even more impressed!

[@Nashi509]

Man that thing has a beautiful headstock

[@mardvkmedia3159]

dear christ, the tone!!

[@mgrisham71]

Exactly!

Comment of the day, Sir.

[@J450NAv3ng3d]

More playthroughs please! Would love to see some Juno ;)

[@gregoryl.levitre9759]

Juno for real!

[@stuffdoesitsuck2438]

Man, the construction of #Tesseract riffs are brilliantly written in the way that each section flows almost overlaps seamlessly to the next section and they are my favorite band of all time because of that and they’re genuinely the most talented, high-level songwriters to date 🤷🏽‍♂️ TesseracT forever dude 🤘🏽

[@nairblab4061]

Been a guitar player for 18 years.. just bought my first bass. Time to dive in!

[@SkunkDozer]

Great grooves and playing. Plus, you practically gave us an instructional video. Awesome dude.

[@747lch]

I love how often the bass peeks through in the actual mix of the song

[@brianhorsley5540]

I have to say, the bass isn't my style, but the flame in that fretboard is stunning. Nicely done Amos.

[@kevinqwen221]

Love those bends

[@madmaskbass]

Have been playing this song since it came out and it is by far my favourite. Just got schooled by the master!! My hamfisted version may play the rough notes but the intricacies that are included in this are just insane. I especially love the cadence of the final section with the three fingers. Those bends...holy wow they are aggressive it's not until you listen to the playthrough that you see that these parts are driving the song. This is why Amos is my favourite bass player ever. Thankyou mate and I cannot wait for the day I can finally see this all live.

[@justinrichards7194]

A master at work here.

[@montlejohnbojangles8937]

Absolutely killer track. Amos' bass tone is absolutely smashing as usual.

[@MohrJameson]

once again blown away by your playing and the quality of the content you produce

[@surrexerunt9525]

Wasn't a fan of the band and I'm a guitar player. Even still, I have to thank the KZbin recommendations for this because your tone, playing and camera work is insane 🤘🤘🤘

[@BionicleSaurus]

Dat tone. Dat technique.

[@luludelasnubes]

Beautiful tone and basslines. Thank you for this !!

[@godsreclamation2539]

This guy got me into bass.

[@Sergio_Math]

Amazing tone and clarity! Delicious sound.

[@ptbempire]

Cant wait for new stuff man love you guys!

[@JoaoSilva-on4od]

This was wonderful. Awesome track, fantastic execution, great video.

[@j0hnbane]

I enjoyed the visual style of the video while you played through. Dunno, just felt like good aesthetics that complimented both the performance and music.

[@HarryDubner]

Great playing as always, Amos. Love you and your band's stuff. Can't wait to see you guys live again soon.

[@ericvalverderosado2046]

The tone!

[@paweolejniczak4938]

1:56 that 3 notes

[@nourel-deenayman3943]

they r actually all octaves of the same note A

[@Jugghead]

God damnit I've always loved this bassline but never seen it played. It's so smooth and yet subtly technical :)

[@willahumma]

That low A string is perfect

[@Iheartdgd]

What a beautiful instrument.. I absolutely love flamed maple fretboards.

[@WattchomanBrandySavage]

love your playing Amos + the way your bass fits into the mix is great

[@Al_drums]

would love an album with bass being the dominant instrument that can be heard would be great!!!!

[@ronlouthain913]

Like so many of us, ive been learning this song. Im actually playing it on a fretless, and lemme tell ya, the octave slides are *amazing* on a fretless bass. Im definitely recording a cover once i get the song down.

[@Myriam-nk2fw]

Yes please! Post the link below my comment when it's done, I want to hear that

[@januszo.2180]

Great bass line. Serving a purpose and melodic. Big thumbs up Amos

It’s always a pleasure watching you play Amos !!!

My day just got way better now that this is out. I love these playthroughs.

King is the best song on this record, so glad to be seeing a bass playthrough of it. Thanks Amos. :D

Dude this is so sick! Please keep doing these 🤘🏽

[@patrickhunter]

Absolutely legendary, man!

[@krisrudecki9477]

Impressive tone from Kiesel and Dark Glass. Nice one!

[@omargabbrielli9635]

Stunning tone and great playing as usual🔥

[@UOTCbassist]

Dude your playing is so great and unique, I cant quite put my finger on it but it's just so smooth. Like the way you move your hand, and your fingers just kind of follow it slightly behind instead of them staying stiff with your hand. Keep grooving \m/

[@evolagenda]

really well shot, loved the playing

[@g.matthews500]

Always a better day when 'Mos posts something. Brilliant.

[@jakeneuman8122]

How many guitarists are like “mix is all wrong, I can hear the bass.” Lol

[@daydreamindaze]

That's the most beautiful bass I've ever seen.

[@itsyaboicory5029]

The first second it started playing I had pause and re-evaluate what I am just about to witness. This bass tone is the mightiest thing I have ever heard.

[@IsacDanielsson]

Excellent as always. King was one of the high points of your gig in Stockholm last year!

[@juhanisuominen]

Great playthrough once again! 🤘🏻😎

[@SkeeterMcBeater]

That's a beautiful bass.

[@MrShitfire420]

This is awesome.

[@Caynug]

So sick amos, your bass playing inspired me so much on my latest record! It's everywhere man.

[@immanuelrohy]

One of my favourite songs of 2018!

[@anthonykiza]

Just feel the groove, awesome 👍👍

[@barnabasmihaly8961]

Dang this song is so much fun to play!

[@JosephYaden]

That tone is fucking nasty.

[@langadubazana]

Such attention to detail in this part! And the camera work!!!

[@allersfera]

This is mesmerizing

[@NutsTesticles]

To everyone wondering about that clank You can try with as many pedals as you like but you’ll never have this guys thumb

[@mikehawkisb1g]

Eh. Any darkglass pedal nowadays can dial in that tone easy.

[@caleblightfoot6397]

I’m still an old school believer that technique is 9/10 of tone.

[@broncoxy]

2:36 shit man, that line send shivers down my spine...

[@7sloth]

Beautiful work Amos!

[@trve_kvltslampolice_boi]

1:40 that bend was oddly satisfying

[@adrianm7960]

He could destroy the one ring with that tone.

[@karmapolice911]

Wow man, this is one of my absolute favorite bass parts. Had a lot of fun learning it myself by watching this, just wish I had better slapping technique! Peace man, always looking forward to hearing more from you / Tesseract.

[@SynchroOnly]

smooth slides, hell yeah

[@thibautgorissen4218]

5:01 so powerfull

[@Hellbassist]

That bassline is so amazing :D!!!! awesome work
