I know you have a great new passion with photography and seeing you so happy makes me feel so good. I recently picked up a blue, headless bass to resemble the one in this very video. You were the first bass player that made me say to myself "I need to play like that" and I poured over classical music pieces to find my own voice, feel, and signature sound while paying respect to what you've done for me. You're the reason I learned how to tap before slapping and popping I don't expect for you to look at comments of old videos, but you've just done so much for me as a musician. You're still my biggest inspiration and I love looking at these old videos to remind me why I love playing so much when I'm feeling down. Keep up the photography. Keep up the joy. You've certainly done it for me
Well said, Cygnus' parts were my absolute favorite part of NeO. I miss him dearly, and he's been a massive inspiration in my own playing. Such a unique voice on the bass!
My favorite bass line by far. My wife told me about your departure from the band amd we were both down about it. Your passion amd playing were our favorite part of Obliviscaris and I even met you in San antonio. I'll forever be a fan of yours
I sincerely wish all bands with intricate basslines like this had the bass mixed this prominent for it to be fully appreciated in all its glory. Well played, Cygnus. \../
I saw you at Rockstadt Extreme fest Indoors in Brasov, Romania, 10 meters next to the band. I am also a bass player, but definetly of this skill, trying to learn the last part of the song, which is incredible. I was actually stunned seeing your live performance live, considering the complexity and length of the songs. I was so happy that day that it was the first time in my life that i bursted into tears at a concert, and I saw Megadeth, Motorhead and many more :) It baffles me also unnoticed this video is...
This song is a defining example of the whole playthrough concept. See that stuff you do at 8:54 onwards is why I enjoy these videos. Similar to the drum playthroughs, it exposes the complexities of NeO song making. Makes me appreciate you guys as musicians even more! Thank you so much (y'all) for making these types of vids!
I just can't see how they'll ever replace you on bass. I'm not sure how much I'm actually looking forward to the new album knowing that you won't be playing bass on it :/
one of my favourite bass players i got to know in the recent years, impressive playing and musicianship. i hope there wil be more coming from you, in whatever form :)
OMG yes!! This makes me so happy. You really inspire me a lot and it is always amazing to hear you play. I am glad for the new upload. Usually I never comment but I just had to, because I really appreciate it.
just came back from your fucking epic show in Sydney just now! you fucking rocked my socks off! am honoured to have watched a genuine group of virtuosos playing together with ungodly skill. See you guys next time!
Okey, I'm a little late to the party, but how do you get that tone? I am aware that a good part of the tone is given by the strings and the bass itself, but how did you set the bass, mids, treble, etc.? I love the tone and I tried to achieve something similar but for some reason whenever I feel I got it right, after a week it seems to me that I actually didn't :D

BASS player here, sounds really good, and to think THEY put us in a mold: can't play metal on flats ??? Followed TalkBass link. YOU proved THEM WRONG !!!!!! Awesome BASS playing man ;)
Good day! Big thanks for the video!There is not that many of them online still. I have been looking into buying Vader bass for awhile now but unfortunately never had a chance to try one out to make sure that it'll work for me. So, I gotta question for you: Is there a neck off-set compare to conventional style bass? I have tried other manufactures headless basses and on them it seemed like the neck was shifted to the a left a bit... How was your experience with Vader bass regarding this matter? How think is the neck and do you find excess to 24th fret comfortable? Thank you very much in advance! Cheers.
No really, where do you learned to play bass in that way?, man you are very good , please could you tell me if you have any pattern or key with which to compose your bass lines, because you are so melodic that you impress me, thank you very much. Greetings from Venezuela.
8:54 why we're all here
Holy shit, how does he make it look so damn effortless?
+RikiazGaming #progmetalmagic
well basically he wrote it...
Nooooo :( He left the band.. I'll miss this solo!
He left the band?

Agreed. I take a lot of influence from him as well as a bass player. Hope he’s well!
so much groove and feel
100% agree, every now and then I come here to remind myself the reason I need to practice harder :D
The way you guys incorporate bass into your compositions is so inspiring
I never knew the harmoniy at 10:49 existed! How could I miss that! Now I love this song even more.

Bruh where could I find a wife like that

These headless basses are starting to grow on me.

They do that. After a while u will just love them to bits
Ikr

The bass solo in this masterpiece always gets to me...amazing performance.
The best!!! No one can make neO basslines sound this fluid. Come back already man
Cygnus is a bass god...
cignus, all you pieces in Ne Obliviscaris with the bass, are absolutly beatifull, thanks for your legacy
They would be lucky to have you back. Come out of hiding already. LFG!!!

man, that new bass makes me really thinking about getting a vader
10:30 gotta be my favourite bass line of all time. Super inspiring as always /,,/
I just can't see how they'll ever replace you on bass. I'm not sure how much I'm actually looking forward to the new album knowing that you won't be playing bass on it :/
I really love your bass lines your super melodic!
Love the bass on this song, truly exceptional quality
Just insane. Thank you for filming this.

i get so calm and cozy listening to your videos, i fucking love the way you play, you inspire me :D
Not sure you'll get this bro, you've turned the page alright. But still the best imo, if that ever counted :-) love ya. Cheers.
Any chance of reuploading felo de se bass vid , prob the most satisfying bass line I've heard to date, or even a new version of it
one of the best prog bassists out there, if not the best.
keep it up cygnus , i hope you're getting better regarding your issues.
Your skills inspires me, can you record some tutorial for any of NeObliviscaris music?
Bummer that you're not in the band anymore. You inspire the way I play and in my sound too, hope everything is going well for you.
Pro, so fucking pro! We need you Cygnus!

Another Bass Legend!
Holy guacamole, this is extraordinary!
I want die and get reborn, just so that you can give birth to me.
I mean yeah the first seven minutes exist but hot damn that bass lead might just be the finest you've ever done.
This slaps hard even if there is no actual slapping involved!
Absolutely amazing! You're a legend!
8:55, that's where the song's eargasm begin !
Thank you for these 12 minutes of pure bass heaven, everything is perfect!
What strings are you using?
moist.

It's quite obvious to me that this guy digs Sean Malone. Very nice bass lines. Kudos.
That's funny considering the obvious
brilliant writing and a great play through. Thanks for uploading.

Excellent playing brendan !
I think he just sold me a Vader.
Excellent left hand muting and picking!!
That new bass looks mean AF! Sick play through, come to brisbane some time soon too ;)
Amazing, Cygnus The Great
Back when life was simpler and music was good.

Causing erections since 2014

Bro! When you sit your vader bass in between your legs does it get untuned easily?
I can't believe that this has only 6.5k views...

New Ne Obliviscaris bassist is good but can't write counter melodies the way you do. You're sorely missed.
I'm thinking you don't know what a counter melody is.
@@NiRvAnA6890 please go ahead, explain it to me in way that shows I'm wrong.
😍😍😍😍😍😍
Very good

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
how did you get a lefty kiesel i've been looking for years
Noice!
What tuning is this beautiful song played in??
Captain Flappers B standard
With it being a 5 string, I wouldn't consider b the tuning. The low b is an add on. Technically this is standard concert pitch. With an added string
i fucking love you man
Are you THE MARWEN?
Sound like fretless bass
Wow a bass player that's not trying to play as many notes as he can but trying to be musical. Awesome
8:54
does anybody knows if this is E standard tuning? thx!
It's in BEADG tuning
is this bass in standard tuning? beadg or dropped tuning?
beadg
SUCH A FUCKING SAV WHAT THE FUCK
Yo bredan
You’re still the one. Life happens, we know. Talent is an unmovable force. Make us cry again. Luv u bro.
tabs?
😲
Could you pass me the tab??

Dream theatre my ass for real 😳
