The Weeknd - Sacrifice (Bass Cover)

[@nevek20]

You knew it was about to get serious from the fact she's standing up. She's almost at full Bass Power. Amazing as always.

[@Itaketoomanypics]

She’s over 9000

[@STEVENXO]

She's standing now, but by next year she'll be floating from the power of her bass skills.

[@tyroneii179]

By the time she reaches full power, you'd be dead before you even hear the B A S S line.

[@Joshmbkerr17]

I’m half expecting super saiyan mode to kick in soon

[@thesageofvisonaryroots]

Yes or that she'll be busting her way into the 5th dimension.

[@santukagameplays5862]

It takes time for a musician to learn that sometimes silence is music too. She understood this. This is perfection

[@kennogawa6638]

Just watching you grow as a musician has been so entertaining and amazing.

[@carpenoctem4428]

Everybody: Enthusiastically enjoying all of Julia's previous videos... Julia: "This isn't even my final form!" This was fucking phenomenal. You continue to improve upon every song that you cover!

[@danielpfeifer6522]

it´s her ultra instinct :P

[@robbartlett5887]

A God given talent embedded into her very soul

[@davibelo]

Previous: Julia normal. this video: julia super saladin... future: julia god saladin

[@andreasurprenant3773]

Amazing as always. Julia doesn't talk in her videos, but she doesn't need to. The groove and her musicianship talk for themselves and that's so much more powerful

[@SimonBrisbane]

Plot twist: she has a super whiny, irritating, high pitched voice. Disclaimer: I don’t know that and it’s highly unlikely but would definitely be a plot twist!

[@nehemiahbass]

Reminds me of this guy kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKHYYYt6ec1msKM

[@lowstringc]

I’ve thought for a long time: it’s a massive compliment to her skill, technique, and artfulness that here we have an attractive young lady on KZbin, and I’ve never seen a lecherous comment. It’s just a solid wall of praise to her musicianship! She’s the genuine article right here!

[@corpseweed]

But how in the name of the Kardashians will I know if I'm supposed to like and/or subscribe? 😉

[@mysterious_drake]

Holy crap!! That staccato attack lead-in at 1:21 gave me goosebumps! What serious skill! Have I used enough explanation points to show my level of hype/awe yet?!‽

[@blusound598]

So powerful and aggressive and on point as fuck. Great, great playing and sense of aesthetics.

[@rochipo77]

I've started paying way more attention to basslines in songs thanks to this channel, amazing work! Each cover better than the last

[@tompfender8732]

She has, far and away, the BESTBASS FACE EVER… it’s what makes it fun to watch her play!

[@PandasPlace]

This funk is seriously infectious. Anyone who knocks out the Bass line like that deserves all the respect. A good bass line MAKES music what it is. Good work!

[@Tomatohater64]

Absolutely stunning! I said it long ago: You, my dear, have an endless future and innumerable opportunities ahead of you. Your overall talent is utterly jaw dropping and it's just a matter of when, not if, you fulfill your dreams. God bless and may only the best of luck follow you.

[@underweightHater]

these covers have taught me one thing: bass is chronically TOO QUIET in the mix.

[@barbmiller5951]

Totally agree

[@carpediemarts705]

Bass players have been screaming this for decades. In the studio and in live venues. Common saying by sound board operators in live clubs "bass should be felt and not heard". And when some bass player finally buys $2,000 worth of bass amp, and their own truck to haul it in, and fight the sound tech to not turn it down, people in the audience are amazed and say, "Wow! The bass sounded wonderful! I could finally hear it!" And keep in mind, with Hoolio's slap technique and bridge plucking position, the mid and high frequencies are accentuated. And that she's the mixer. If she were put on stage with a sound board operator who didn't know who she is, they'd bury her so hard you wouldn't know she was in the band.

[@PoorlyWrttenReviews]

Bass is mixed that way because of where it sits in the soundscape, the low frequencies can make the entire track feel muddied if mixed too loud

[@ruminantmelanoid5444]

@@PoorlyWrttenReviews You don't have to pump the low frequencies to mix the bass out front. A slight bump in the low mids, and a good treble boost will give you a nice present sound without overpowering the rest of the band. Have you ever listened to the Brothers Johnson? They were white hot in the late 70's to early 80's. Louis Johnson's bass was always mixed out front. Stomp was a #1 R&B *and* top 10 Billboard pop hit. Louis Johnson's bass was *the featured instrument* in the mix. My point is that it is more of the *PERSONAL PREFERENCES* and training of the sound person than actual difficulties mixing bass.

[@bitghost4700]

@@carpediemarts705 Nothing transcends it from "just music" to "an experience" better than when the bass starts reverberating in your chest at the height of a song. It's unreal.

[@chrismarasco2008]

Bravo! Fingers crossed for a shoutout from The Weeknd himself.

[@ivansuner2120]

Funky as always! The slap full at 1:31 and the outro are killer!

[@kortomNL]

Exactly! Damn, so good! I also love the finger lay-over, followed up by a open B-string at 0:32

[@nehemiahbass]

Reminds me of this guy kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKHYYYt6ec1msKM

[@puredruid]

Haven't heard the original and I know there's no point now as these bass covers are always better than the originals.

[@Kubius]

Honestly, I think both the original and cover are equally great - just depends on which elements of the mix you want emphasized.

[@brendanerskine4158]

The original is so dry and generic after listening to this.

[@allenheld4486]

truth

[@brendanerskine4158]

[@elizabethtafoya97]

Watch out now she’s standing with the bass, it don’t get more serious then that!! As always she killed it! 😮

[@ivmanitas3786]

Hearing and watching you play has inspired me get back on the bass again after leaving it aside for many years and start a professional career. Next month I'll enroll in a university and begin to study a 6 year program. Thanks to your awesome playing, keep inspiring!!

[@mlem9784]

the weeknd + julia = masterpiece

[@LnRit02]

this fucking rocks. think it might be my favorite cover of yours yet, incredible as ever

[@ulitimate8140]

Noice. When you whipped out the slap at the end that was CLEAN!

[@abysmalstuff173]

I had to listen to this multiple times just to soak in the goodness so I can survive another week Honestly the slapping got me on the edge of my seat like no joke I can't describe it but the bass just gives me the good kind of shivers and makes me just happy for some reason Is that just me being weird or-

[@danielcisneros1833]

julia is hands down best bass player out there rn.

[@Noah-us6vg]

Puh, stark👌🏼 1. ab 0:24 Die tiefen Basstöne klingen heftig gut 2. 0:33 Die Flageolett‘s: So sauber und rein + alle anderen Techniken (Slap, Slides, Harmonics,…) die du mit rein genommen hast. Einfach fresh💪🏼

[@squarefellow1]

Your bass playing is beyond your age. I was transported to the 80's. In a club in Chicago, called the happy medium. Where i danced my young life away. Not many thing move me in life,but you have. Peace ✌

[@righty-o3585]

I'll be honest. I haven't seen ALL of your videos. But every time I watch a new one, it's obvious how much you have improved, and this time is no different. As a guitar player myself ( 6 string ) , when we can hear the passion, the love of making music, through the music that is being played.... Don't ever let anybody try to take that from you. Thank you for sharing your talent. :: Bows as a sign of respect :: 😁

[@flamant_]

one of your best covers for sure

[@kpete9219]

I have always loved bass but wow, this goes way beyond anything I've seen!

[@scottzeller2176]

I am playing Julia's videos, not because I like (or even know) any of the artists, but because I LOVE how Julia plays the Bass. Incredible!

[@chl2161]

Love watching you gain more popularity and sharing those gems with more people. You definitely earned this and so much more that is yet to come. Just don't push yourself too hard for the sake of YT. I'm sure you can handle pressure, but is way better when you let the groove come to you.

[@Scott-jh3os]

once again, Juliaabsolutely decimates!!!! julia has more funk savvy than some "professional legends". keep up the amazing work julia!!!!!

[@13032_bass]

Wow I'm so overwhelmed.. Your bass performance always makes me feel overwhelmed. Thank you very much for sharing your video with us 🥺 No matter what song you cover with your bass, I'll always be happy but it is especially an honor for me to watch the cover of this song..!! Thanks to your video, I can have a great day in a happy mood today!! Thank you always Julia, I'll always support you with everything you do 😊 Thanks a lot!! ❤️

[@TheDevnul]

Watching you laying down those groves makes me so happy. And I will take these little moment to forget about the world outside. Thanks Julia!

[@lastonewon]

Really feel your style and flow, as a musician I can feel the musicality in your playing 👏🏿

[@raymundsarmiento7607]

For me, it’s probably one of her best covers! Crisp, clean and sharp. 👍🤤

[@em.o.t]

The best bass channel on KZbin by far. Your covers always slap!

[@RugNutz]

Fingering, slapping, harmonics. Flawless. Fantastic. Always the best covers out there.

[@jonaschavs]

I knew this day was coming... Julia can't hold the groove flow sat down anymore. The groove is flowing through all her chakra gates now! You rock girl! Unbelievable great performance 👏

[@MartinCampos]

Wish I could give it a thumbs up more than once. Love it, keep coming back to this everyday :)

I made a comment sometime ago about you standing and playing, still as precise as always I want to be like you when I grow up. You are a bass playing machine.🎸👍🏼

'I've been watching you for a while but 'this' video hit the button. This one perculates and bubbles with a new level of.... something. We all feel it. Yes, you are standing but that can't be it... but if it is, keep doing it and all the other things that makes this 'this'. Bring it! We're already waiting for the next one. Kudos.

The confidence and groove are impeccable

[@philsimmer]

Possibly the funkiest thing I've ever heard. Absolutely sick licks! Thank you!!!

i absolutely love the space in between your playing, it lets the song breath and as a result, i can properly appreciate the amazing stuff you do in between. awesome work as always ♡

[@niji_no_saki]

My favorite of your work so far. What a delicate balance between complex technique and restraint. I can't fathom the fact that you reach this level of mastery in such young age.
