Remco's Groove Lab
Netherlands
Registrace 18. 07. 2011
My name is Remco Hendriks, I play and write songs on bass, welcome to my Groove Lab!
On this channel you can find one-take bass recordings performed on camera. All original compositions, lotsa funk rock and fretless, main focus is groove! All sounds come from bass, fingers, pedals/amps and are played real-time, no editing, playback or digital tricks. I write these pieces first on bass, then create the drums and keep jamming until I'm ready to record the video in a single take. Let's save real music and keep the funk alive!

This fretless Stradi bass is phenomenal
Check out my new fretless Stradi bass! This is the most expressive instrument I’ve ever had, the vibrato, sustain, and definition are spectacular. Here’s the first solo piece with lots of fun double stops, mwah, staccato fingerstyle, slides and some funky improvisation. It took 3 weeks a few hours a day to write, rehearse, and perform this in one take. The first bonding time with a new instrument is always special, but this bass triggers my brain like no other, it’s beyond inspiring to experience its sonic possibilities. Been playing fretless for some time but didn’t know this much definition in tone, sustain and resonance could be present, seems an ultimate blend of modern in-your-face sound and classical finesse with all its benefits.
Marek Dąbek is one of the finest luthiers around today, together with his wife Agnieszka this most wonderful couple builds these amazing instruments with incredible eye for detail. The stunning fingerboard is made of Bocote, with an Amazaque neck and solid roasted Alder body, the top wood is quartersawn Oak with a Shou Sugi Ban finish, all woods are made from one piece. Pickups are Delano Xtender and a custom piezo with Glockenklang preamp, slide pots and coil switch are on the back. It has an Ebony bridge and nut, Gotoh tuners and strap locks, glow in the dark Luminlay side markers and silver eyelets with crushed turquoise. The top wood is treated with fire, Japanese Yakisugi style.
I used Ernie Ball Super Slinky strings, the bocote fingerboard is hard and takes roundwounds well. I used 3 pedals: a Rodenberg 707b clean booster, a Darkglass Hyper Luminal compressor and at some parts a Boss OC-2 octaver. I used my Eich T-1000 amp and recorded into a Focusrite preamp into my laptop into Cubase.
Drums by Jack Irons (RHCP/Pearl Jam). He recorded and mixed it himself, I recorded this take on his stereo mix and mixed it in Cubase. No post processing or plugins used, just some volume adjustments, mastering was done with Ozone. More recordings in the works!
This type of Stradi bass is called Symphony. I named this bass Symphony Cora, after my dear late mother who loved my fretless playing for its soothing sound. I wrote “White Orchid” (czcams.com/video/ZZ4_iuYCQ5I/video.html) beside her during her last months back in 2011 and with this Stradi bass I’m now recording the full band version of the song. I’m fortunate to be friends with Marek and Agnieszka and they were around when we started the studio recording in LA last February, we envisioned it would take the sound to the next level. I played White Orchid on a 5-string Stradi similar to this bass, owned by producer John Heintz, and we couldn’t think of a better fretless sound to fit the song. Only thing was, for my fingerstyle playing I need some space underneath the strings, so for this built Marek made a recess in the extended fingerboard at my plucking position, the result couldn’t have turned out better and I’m very grateful. White Orchid should be out later this year!

Funk Rock Bass & Drum Grooves with Jack Irons
zhlédnutí 9KPřed 2 měsíci
Front to back take of my song “Lobster for Breakfast” with Jack Irons (RHCP/Pearl Jam) on drums! Jack first recorded his drums on my bass, then I recorded this new take on it. We’re playing on feel without using click track, it’s a fun challenge to nail these in a single take. It’s all about locking in and riding the waves, groove glue! I’m playing my Cortex Bass with Ernie Ball Super Slinky st...

Here’s a fun heavy fretless bass jam with the mighty Jack Irons! He’s the founding drummer of RHCP and former member of Pearl Jam and Eleven. We’ve been recording some music and thought it’d be fun to shoot videos jamming to each other’s grooves, here’s an experimental rock tune we came up with! I’m playing my fretless Cortex bass and used 5 pedals in this take: a Seamoon FX Grind Machine overd...

I’m stepping the pedals real-time and didn’t use any digital post processing, this is a live take. Beside the Seamoon pedals I used a Darkglass Hyper Luminal compressor and a Rodenberg 707B clean boos...

Fretless Freedom with the Seamoon Funk Machine
zhlédnutí 26KPřed 8 měsíci
Funky good times with my fretless Cortex bass and a Seamoon FX “Funk Machine” pedal! I love envelope filters and this one’s a favorite for sure, it sounds fat and juicy, fully analog with nice sub harmonics. This classic pedal from the 70’s has been revived by amazing bassist Neil Jason with Seamoon, doing the funk a welcome favor. He played the pedal back in time on some legendary recordings a...

Funky good times with some fun melodic grooves, staccato lobster claw plucking, double stops, harmonics, neck bends and more! I’m playing my Cortex bass strung up with Ernie Ball Super Slinkys, and used a Seamoon FX ‘Funk Machine’ pedal for the envelope sounds, as well as a Boss OC-2 octaver, Darkglass Hyper Luminal compressor and a Rodenberg 707B clean booster.

mega 🤩
Cool, but something you could get tired of in a hurry…
Heavy Les Claypool vibes here, AMAZING playing, Some sick melodies in here, Awesome video 👍
Amazing player! Amazing composition! and holy shit, what an instrument!
Just fantastic and so musical.
Sound like otamatone
Dang, that funk groove is nasty… lots of body in that sound, give thanks for sharing
What the h☆ll is that freaken amazing tone
Maybe I’m crazy and I stink at playing guitar but these guitars and bases with the body being like that? How do you have full access? I mean I know these people are destroyers, but that looks annoying to play. It’s like Tosin Abasi signature guitar. It’s like a joke to him. I would hate that thing.
Beautiful Instrument, Great Sounds and Grooves
Epic
tabs please💀💀💀💀
The ONLY Bass player videos I keep returning to.😂
Sounds like mick Karn a lot
Like...f@#kin' Wow! Dirty sweet gritty grinding amazingness!! Classy, but so absolutely spectacularly sassy!!!
classic delusionist
Whoa stANK hand!
Очень кккрутоу Класс!!!!!!!!!!!!
Came in expecting something,and I’m coming out with everything and a bit more. That was a crazy solo and technique!!!
You are freakishly good
Wow, never thought I'd hear the final form of the Doug theme played by Les
Can you change the tone?
So awesome, I want one
Amazing 👏
Cool.

Phenomenal you!! 💕
there should be a “like multiplier” button
This makes me want to throw up
The strings look and sound like they're made of cat guts.
Owaoh what creative frett less base guitar. What a sound and clearity❤❤
I feel 'Jaco' would be impressed ..
This feels like eating pancakes on 5 hits of acid.
Having fret markers is cheating.
Ha,ha,ha..😂😂😂😂😂
You, sir, are phenomenal.
Usually guys with a somewhat similar style bore me to tears. I am absolutely impressed with your approach. Your playing is phenomenal.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ you've inspired me to start practicing regularly again. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜❤️🧡💛
This channel is like finding gold. Perfect tunes to listen while riding motorcycle in the city.
jack irons, rhcp drummer?
Brutal
Honestly remco is one of my favorite bassists of all time, he inspired me to play the bass years ago!
Man. Damn!!
Damn! I lover that style its difficult to play that way. I am more of a percussive player but that technique is so good.
Please sir I want some more
👍
jesus christ dude
Always sounds like a fart machine
That left blisters on my ear holes 😁🤘🤣 Rawkin 💪
