The History of Bass Players on YouTube (Bass Battle)

[@Davie504]

Paying respect to the real OGs

[@elioebbasta4045]

Amazing! Truly, absolutely amazing. And the first time we see you having a sweat!! EPIC!!

[@1290jedn]

what the sigma

[@poliphilio]

what about LeeTav? :) i remember his daftpunk LED Bass covers from way before i even slap

[@AhhhhMyLeg]

Where the guitar solo at?

[@MrT3a]

Amazing! Now, I have one question: Would you four be able to compose a track for a quatuor of basses ? The aces of bass ? The four bassists of the musicalypse ? I don't know, I went on a tangent, I just want to hear bass talent ^^

[@MikiSantamaria]

OMG! It's such an honor! Thank you Davie you're the best!!🙏🥰

[@caleschley]

Wicked bass playing dude.

[@renebustos87]

Big fan of yours as well @MikiSantamaria! You are such an amazing and humble person! Keep being amazing 🙌🏼

[@brianrushton9389]

Sounded great!

[@valkapow]

❤Davie504❤ Bass Boss❤ That was fantastic!

[@TheSkerlnik]

Incredible skills!

[@ViaceslavSvedov]

What a funky great (and unexpectet) surprise to find out that Miki and David, two bassists I really admire, were also part of it! :) I was truly honored to be included among such talented musicians (love you guys

[@MikiSantamaria]

You're a legend!!! Thanks for your kind words! Likewise, the admiration is mutual! And yeah, it would be awesome if we could share the stage one day! :D

[@CarlosFernandez-rx3ne]

Slava! You are my bass hero. Thank you for inspiring me for over a decade.

[@DmitryMigal]

Slava, bass community needs more videos from you on youtube. I still watch your old videos every now and then and it was such a pleasure to see you on this channel!

[@Nittiyh]

Man I would sacrifice my first born child to the slap gods for a few new videos from you. I hope you’re doing great, we miss you!

[@neumann1024]

More BALALAIKA BASS pls 🙏

[@MikiSantamaria]

I have to say: David Caraccio (davidsinrocks) inspired me to buy an audio interface and a camera and start uploading videos on KZbin in 2011. My first videos were bass covers too. Viaceslav's videos were a big inspiration too. And then a few years later this guy called Davie504 arrived, beat me in a bass battle and made me quit. Just kidding 🤣🤣🤣 You're all legends ❤️ thanks for sharing your love for the bass with all of us!

[@juliaplaysgroove]

My idols coming together! 🔥

[@MikiSantamaria]

you're amazing!!!

[@catvoncrimson666]

YAY!!! JULIA!!!!

[@imissher0657]

heyy Julia you're one of my inspiration on playing bass🎸❤️

6:48 Because of his last upload being 3 years ago, it's very joyful to see Viaceslav Svedov SLAP THE BASS again! 👏

[@DavidCaraccio]

Yesssss omg! 🥵 Thank you so much Davie, that was truly epic! I'm really proud of what you've done ❤ - davidsinrocks

[@Davie504]

you're epic

[@SlightlySpirtied]

when i couldnt afford lessons anymore you along with 4 other funky monks became my teacher. Much love David

[@pedronotkarl7925]

Very spicy playing

[@benedixtify]

Epico

[@xMTLKx]

La légende !

[@jedgi]

This has got to be one of the best bass videos on this channel from recent memory. That battle was epic on every level.

[@VJT01]

This video shall go down in Bass History. It really felt like they were an old band reuniting for one last performance together.

[@TommyLeeDepp]

Damn, the nostalgia is real! I remember watching DavidSinRocks when I was a beginner back in 2009, him and MarloweDK were the biggest bass channels at that time. Then I stumbled across Viaceslav Svedov's videos and was blown away (the first battle you did with him is still one of my favorite bass videos on KZbin). Shortly after discovering Viasceslav in 2011, I stumbled across your channel, thanks to the video response feature back then. For me, you and Viaceslav were the ones that inspired me to make my own channel. Needless to say, your battle with Miki a few years later was incredible too! KZbin was so different back then but you've been killing it from the start. It's still hard to believe I've watched you grow from 4k subs to 13 mio subs but I'm happy to have witnessed this journey. Keep it up and "stay funky" bro! 😄🎸

[@ChungiteApostle]

Hope one day you get your flowers too as a bass OG. 🙏

[@PiePlayzBASS]

@@ChungiteApostle fr i felt that tommy should've been in the battle as well

[@rihamission487]

All the youtube bass legends in one comment section! Love you, Tommy.

[@boxicool]

oooommmmg i remember you.... SO MANY YEARS!!! I stil have paper tabs with LP - Numb bass version of yours!!!! I hope you are alright mate!!!

[@TommyLeeDepp]

@@boxicool Haha crazy, that video was uploaded 11 years ago or something! Good times, funny that you remember me after all this time!

[@cbcen8849]

You can both see and hear the influence in Davies playing style and tone

[@TheSenCost]

I'm gonna cry, I literally started playing because of David Caraccio and grew up as a musician with all these guys, this is incredible

[@WadeGriffith]

I can't express how happy I am to see this. I started playing bass about 15 years ago because of David Caraccio. He sparked a lifelong passion for music for which I'm eternally grateful. The amount of talent in this video is immense. It's a great feeling to see you show the founders love. Really, really great video, Davie. It reminds me of a beautiful time in my life. Thank you.

[@TheSenCost]

brooo me too! I was actually gonna buy a guitar but I accidentally stumbled upon his Can't Stop cover and it changed EVERYTHING, I wouldn't be a bassist without David Caraccio (davidsinrocks at the time)

[@lyconxero457]

This was an awesome idea for a video! Not only did I get to learn about three bassists that I'd personally never heard of BUT we were also treated to some fantastic bass playing AND a quadruple bass-off with a really cool ending.

[@rootwillschkitzwartz2445]

The iphone ringtone at 5:51 is SICK with that bass under it, wish I could hear the whole thing.

[@Tonyroller24]

Me tooooo! Thought I was the only one hahaha I want to hear the whole thing!! ! Hopefully it comes out in any video of memes of Davie

[@falaghsepehr5504]

Yes me too! I found the full version on Charles Berthoud's channel

[@peppershaker3145]

The original is iPhone Ringtone Meets SLAP BASS by CharlesBerthoud :)

[@another7704]

^^^^^^^ glad someone else recognized it

[@thejc3]

bruh, this is why you are on top. bringing these guys back....genius. mind blown. this is the high bar for youtube content

[@ariesfunk]

Man I remember watching David's (Caraccio) videos back in 2007/2008 and wanting to play bass. Great video about the OG's bass players from KZbin!

I'm so hyped that Viaceslav Svedov didn't stopped playing bass! He was my hero (and still is) when i first discovered KZbin those 14 years ago. If you're reading this, you're a significant part of my (don't wanna say childhood because i was just 15 years old) but yeah.

[@unknown-division]

his name sounds like a russian one, and youtube is probably blocked in russia, thats why

[@d4slaimless]

@@unknown-division it isn't, and it wasn't blocked 4 years ago certainly.

[@1313prata1313]

It's incredible how it's possible to hear and identify their techniques combined at your playing... You really absorbed their knowledge and passion.

[@DannySapko]

And next, you battle the KZbin bassists of the future...

[@digitaljanus]

Danny! I see you, mate! Love your videos!

[@BDHO73]

Danny v Davie. Make it happen Sapko!!! Love your work mate.

[@PaddyLeggBass]

This is an awesome video 😍 I played bass aged 12 till I was about 22, and I wasn’t too bad at it, but then life got in the way and I stopped - it was one of David Caraccio’s vids about 4 years ago got me to pick it back up (after a 15 year absence) - he’s such an awesome player. I now play bass full time for a living and I’m more obsessed than I was as a teen (and I practice properly now too!) KZbin bassists are the absolute single reason I took the bass up again, the goosebumps I got from David C’s vids were like nothing else and I knew I had to start playing again. Thanks to all of you for an epic vid 🙇‍♂️ 🤩

[@moosemafia1659]

We need a bass cover of the piano song he always plays lol

[@markfisher3987]

​@moosemafia1659 we're finally landing, I think it's called. I would have absolutely lost it if the video had started with that opening chord, but as a note on the base

[@yvanpetruzzi9511]

Wow David ! What a video ! At the very same time, when the can't stop cover dropped, I realised David Caraccio was living just down the block.. I took my courage and contacted him. He gave me private lessons for over 2 years and sold be one magic bass :) It's worth knowing that David Caraccio is such a sweet human. He is so talented and so natural. I have so much respect for him. For the bass lovers, I can with certainty assume that you are missing something if you don't give a listen to David's projects. This man can surely groove. Take care 🤌🤌

[@d3w4yn3]

What a great service you do for all bassists world-wide!!!

[@BecaSchmitt]

I started my bass cover channel 10 years ago and there's so many OG channels that still upload to this day that inspired me to do a channel. Learned to play by myself watching covers and tutorials on youtube. Today alot of folks tell me they learn from covers i did as well, it's a torch i feel should keep going forward. Great video.

[@raystan15]

What a new format :0 OMG!

[@呵呵嘿嘿-t2f]

David Caraccio really inspired me ! So excited to see u guys together!

[@noso_stephen3095]

Davie, I love that you continue to share and offer respect to those who have inspired you. Proud of you. Take care!

[@madnessbydesignVria]

To be able to honor those who inspired you, then play along side them is truly "Epico"! :)

[@icythe1st]

this format is actually insanely good

[@RippleAnt]

I've watched 1000s of videos on KZbin but you've got my 4th ever like. What you do to develop a genuinely wholesome community around music is wonderful. I love how you lift people alongside you and it's commendable.

[@caballitodehierro27]

Wow, you always surprise me with your humor, but this video was excellent, I was amazed by the sudden apparition of the three OG KZbin bassists and you playing, great great video, thanks!

[@PeterPetraRock]

Loved this, epic bass battle. So cool to see the OG bassists still rocking it.

[@FOFBASS1]

Absolutely boss upload. Love it.

[@SimaStrahota11]

Remember watching David Caraccio around 2008, I was blown away. He is one of the best Ive ever seen

[@HerEvilTwin]

I love the respect he shows for the people that came before and inspired him. These are some serious bass players right here. If you made bass videos on early youtube it’s a testament that you absolutely love bass

[@LeoBassist]

All of the bass players that inspired me to develop my technique in the early years brought together, that’s a dream 🥲 I remember it was 2010 and I had been playing for 4 years but I was stuck playing and listening only to punk music. Then I started opening to different music and I discovered by chance Davidsinrocks on KZbin, first with a Maximum the Hormone cover and I was mind blown. Then thanks to him I discovered RHCP and I learned how to slap watching his videos! Shortly after I also discovered Santamaria and Svedov exactly with those same videos (and especially Desert Eagle by Svedov that was a real life changer). So thank you so much everyone for this awesome collab, that really brought me back to the best years of my life 🥲

[@Mr_Wiley]

Major collaboration. Everyone carried their weight and gave the music different edges. *So well played* to you all.

[@stryfer1989]

Duuuude, what?! This was insane! I used to watch David and Viaceslav regularly back in the day. Massive props for getting them all together. Great to see they're still as legendary as they were!

[@monamourtravelling]

Thanx a lot for this video!!! Vyacheslav or simply Slava Svedov (pronounced Shvedov) is a good old friend of mine. He's from Vilnius (Lithuania), lives in Cologne (Germany) and for many years he's playing bass balalaika in the band "The Jancee Pornick Casino". We get to know each other back in 2003 when he was the frontman of his prog metal band "WaySide Peaks" (they wrote songs with lyrics by Edgar Allan Poe). He was playing the lead guitar, so that it was impossible to follow the flight of his fingers. Then it occurred to him to master the bass guitar, which he did. Then he got tired of that too. Well, he's mastering drums for several years now )))))

[@christaylor7931]

Epico! Fantastic video, phenomenal playing. Really enjoyed this one. Thanks Davie.

[@khangcao4254]

Watching your videos over 6 years. Now I finally got a bass. Really hope some advises from the king of bass like you for the beginners like me

[@IDropzGuitar]

Hey Davie I’m a huge fan, I hope you see this one, I’ve been battling a eye condition stemming from a rare skin disease I got when I was 8 called toxic epidermal necrolosys syndrome that’s causing me to go blind, so in the hopes I get big enough I’ve started doing yt and TikTok teaching guitar and trying to raise awareness and grow big enough to get my eyes treated overseas someday, would appreciate it if you could offer some advice! Keep up the good work

[@artsalsa7981]

good luck with that and take care!

[@IDropzGuitar]

@@artsalsa7981 thank you legend

[@kaiying74]

This video gave me the feels. David was one of the first channels I followed on KZbin. Great to see the big collab.

[@RENNER7]

Interesting change of content for sure

[@thevectorchef]

It's an honor to see you pay your respects to the early content creators on KZbin. I hope they have some great opportunities coming their way after seeing this video. Wishing you and your family the best as well !

[@loisheirich6319]

One of your best videos so far !!!

[@shimonami8960]

I think that it was the best video by FAR, and I'm a huge fan of davie, started slapping the bass during the pandemy because of him and I'm now addicted to music in general

[@ralphavalon]

As someone who follows you for a long time and loved the bass battles (I even commented that out in one of your videos), it's really good to see them back again. Thanks for it. That was EPIC.

[@przygodykatanki]

viaceslav one sounds like it could be a doom soundtrack. amazing

[@lw4384]

I became a bassist after watching your videos almost ten years ago, and many of the videos you've mentioned are indeed hardwired into my brain. I've become a great player now, having fun funking with many people, and it's very heartwarming to see you jam together with icons of my teenage years (including you) :)

[@peterdarby1445]

Great to see peer respect. Amazing talent.

[@philemonsalvas4860]

Really cool to see the guys that inspired you to start making bass video and this battle was epic.

[@tasieeq]

THAT'S SO COOL. To this day David Caraccio's cover of Look Alive by Incubus is one of my favourite bass video of all time. When I started playing bass years ago I dreamt some day I could play it (no I can not :

[@Crusade1982]

Hey Davie, this was awesome to feature all those bassists. This little tribute to them made me quite happy. :)

[@OblivionAviator]

🤣😂🤣 O.M.G. I SLAPPED Like so hard that I wound up on my own ass! (which is where I belong since I'm a drummer!) This is an incredible piece of work & very cool of you to give these dudes the shout out they so well deserve! It is obvious where your inspiration came from. This is another EPIC video & one of your very best! Really, reeeeally cool!

[@ondrejmikusek6596]

This is such a nostalgia for those of us who have been following your channel since the beginning! I am especially happy to see Miki Santamaria jamming with you again, as your old bass battle with him is one of my favourite videos on KZbin - it was one of my inspirations when I started playing bass, I learned to play both your and Miki's part and I still remember it after all the years... Thank you for this video, Davie! 💙

[@davidc.joshua3512]

My David 504❤❤❤ much love from Nigeria

[@bowbay]

As one of the OG youtube bassists (2010) who got totally outclassed by those guys when i was a teenager, this brings me warm feelings seeing them getting recognized🥹

[@yubtubtime]

One of the coolest vids you've made so far ❤

[@hoermzz3097]

The head-bopping and the smile of DavidSinRocks is still there. I remember watching his videos back then. What an icon! Super cool video, Davie !! Edit: i was desperately waiting for an "OMG" at the end lol

[@NikFromm]

Bro could bring back John Entwistle from the grave just to have a bass battle with him, then send him back immediately after beating him.🤘🔥

[@teamdylz666]

Epico. Sounded and felt like a boss battle ❤

[@FatManElvis]

MarloweDK was the KZbin bass player who got me into bass many years ago. He's an OG bass KZbinr also. 🙏🏻

[@PawkoZielarz]

You did great, gentlemen! Previously, I only knew David Caraccio because he was probably the only one who played the covers I was learning - Larry Graham, Robert Randolph's band, or did tests of bass effects that I was interested in. I respect the guy a lot! I'll check out the others too, because I hear they're worth it!

[@greeneclipse8088]

The legacy and importance that you all have for bass is something gigantic, generations that will know and be interested in this instrument thanks to all this work, and that is priceless.

[@marcocorazza96]

Davie sono assolutamente d’accordo con te, questi tre ci hanno ispirato veramente, in particolare io sono affezionato a David Caraccio, mentre Viaceslav l’ho conosciuto attraverso i tuoi video, sentirvi suonare tutti insieme è stata una gioia

Easily the most epic video you ever made! All of your main inspirations are also my inspirations through all of this years playing bass.

And now we have the greatest bass video. Literally. The posting of this video SLAPPED the time/space continuum so it is undefeatable in the entirety of the bass multiverse. Epic.
