Forest just has laser tight precision. although he did write the song so i guess its all in the way that you play it. no my EQ is not flat. Im only using the bridge pickup on the bass and have the bass boosted a little bit and the treble turned back just a hair. The thumb does contribute a lot of the sound though. i feel that this is one of the most perfect sounds you could have for a fretless bass.
Does that model have a thinner neck or is it the chunky one? I love the sound and look of warwick but the one's I've tried are very uncomfortable for my medium sized hands. I've heard they make thin neck models but I'm confused as to what in particular to be looking for. Sorry for the rant. Just subscribed. You're killer.
and they say bass is easy..everything is challenging depending on how much you want to achive, great job
Absolutely. That said, fretless bass is objectively very hard to play well (because of the intonation), and a 6-string even more so. Fretless musicians usually spend their entire lives perfecting their intonation, because faster music will always have tiny flaws and you can use subtle changes in expressive ways.
I'd love to rip the frets out of both my basses, but unfortunately most non-bassists are stupidly fussy about having the 'fretted bass sound'. If you only play fretless bass, you'll seriously be rejected from many (if not most) bands because of it, which is incredible.
Alex Khouri I personally love the sound of a fretless bass, but hey at least your have both :)
marco escalante It's a great instrument, in the right hands. If people over-use the portamento and don't have their intonation down, it can sound typical of the cheesy slightly-out-of-tune fretless bass from the 80's. But in the hands of a good player who's practised A LOT, it's an incredibly expressive instrument and will hopefully one day become more standard.
Glad you like it :)
I love how this is above Forest's bass video when I type in Omnipresent Perception...
Doesn't count unless it's played left handed :P
i love Quebec. cant wait to go back someday.
Incredible cover dude. Regarding the intonation, it's pretty fantastic considering how ridiculously hard the left-hand work is. Those shifts would be a nightmare on a fretted bass, but getting the intonation perfect on a fretless.... phew!
Despite certainly not being a better bassist, I would like to make one technique recommendation: try to keep your plucking fingers closer in when playing with 3 fingers. I say this because I had much the same issue for the first few years of using 3 fingers, and I've found that when I'm able to keep them closer together I get better accuracy and endurance. I also say this because your 2-finger technique is incredible, and there's a clear gap between that and your 3-finger technique; not just visually, but also sonically.
But that critique is out of total respect for your incredible skill. If I do switch to fretless one day (as I hope to), you'll definitely be an inspiration for it :)
Man I LOVE the tone that Warwicks have. Sounds pretty good as a fretless too! Don't know this song but it sounded great.
That "weehhh wmmmmm nnmmmnmmm" is so awesome :D But I prefer a more thick,strong sound,that's why I use Marshall.Warwick is also a great company!
But I don't use a fretless,cause I don't like that...jazzyness :D
GrindCoreLou
"weehhh wmmmmm nnmmmnmmm"
I just find it funny that I know exactly what part you're talking about
Matt Fletcher You can describe how a fretless sounds with those letters XD
4 warwicks, a fallujah shirt, the beard, this song. I can't handle this much badass.
YES! I've been waiting for you to cover this, this was one of the best covers I've ever seen, all of your covers are. You are amazing.
This makes me drop tears of joy. Extremely beautiful.
Greetings & congratulations from Mexico
I'm always on the lookout for your videos
YOU ARE THE BEST
Amazing, bro'. I was waiting for this one. Always up to hearing new covers from you.
Very tight man, great job...pleasure to watch and listen to
Dude. Dead on. You're sooo on point. Seriously.
Unbelievably awesome cover man, you nailed it spot on!!
You nailed it, man! Great job!
Yeeeeah ! Asked for it, got it, I'm happy :)
Congrats as usual !
That fretless was badass! Great work as always guys!
I never get sick of watching you play! Especially with fretless I just love the tone it has! Mainly why Obscura is one of my favorite bands :)
As is your usual way, you have nailed this song!!!
Phenominal work as always my good man!!!
Jolly good show and all that.
Long live the six string frettless bass.
That's absurd! Fantastic!
You made my day with this cover! excellent job
Just realized this was released on my birthday. An amazing present of bass godlyness
i was waiting for the solo. hats off man. keep practising you are very talented :)
Very very well done. I've been hoping you'd do this for a long time.
Your talent is indeed beyond exceptional, big thumbs up!
Awesome skills man, definitely a great deal of talent. I just think that your playing in this video sounds very staccato, when its more of a legato feel.
CannibalisticZombie I have mixed feelings about the tone on the album for the bass. It fits the album well but my preferred sound leans more toward Alex Webster (take albums like Torture, A skeletal Domain, Red before black, Gallery of suicide and even the bleeding). The tone you used for video also works well.
You finally did it!! Awesome cover of a wonderful song :)
Super damn good dude. This is a crazy hard song and you did great.
Fantastic cover, love the tone and quality- great song
I sense some baroque drama in that. Awesome as always! Love it!
Zombie just seeing this video and the way your playing is you do very well and the intonation is just good as well regardless of how off it might be its still killer
sick man! I love the tone of your Warwick
Awesome. Good job man!
Amazing!
That feel when I will never be this amazing at bass.
wow man awesome job especially on that solo!
Unreal dude!
Dude yore very inspirational! love the way you tear the bass up!!
I show you my fully respect!
Showed this to Forest, He says nice playing and that it sounds really nice with the warwick. :) Good job man.
ooh... I've been waiting for this video....
EXCELLENT!!
I KNEW you were going to cover this! Fucking amazing, as expected.
Amazing cover dude. I really like
Great cover man! Been hoping you would do this song.
Holy shit! This is such a good cover of the song!
Well done dude !
Great cover man! Cool band to cover. the way they write is so unique to allow the bass player to be the one that is playing around the most with variations.
Awesome !!
I love this song and I love Warwick basses It's feels like the Best videos I'l ever seen and you play the bass like a pro
I knew this one was coming. So sick.
Awesome playing, awesome shirt.
Nailed it man!
You playing this will get them more exposure than they've ever had. Love Beyond Creation and I hope this does good for them.
Awesome cover. Love that bass
Thanks AJ- I always thougt this would be a great song for you to cover. And there you go! You da man ;)
Im a drummer and love watching bassists play this song.i only discovered this band 3 days ago and they are awesome.great playing.
Sick ass cover as always, keep it heavy!
amazing
Amazing cover!!
great playing!
Loving the jazz tone
I am so happy you covered this song. I approve of the beard as well.
You are really rick man! Awesome skills
The fact that you could do a perfect cover by just hearing the song is very impressive
Awesome!!! One of my favorite songs, greetings man!! lml (:
Great cover, the sound is perfect. Cheers from Mexico.
a friend recommended I see this video
very good
I loved
Nice shirt! Fallujah is one sick band!!
really good!
Dat Warwick tone ;___; beautiful
CannibalisticZombie I'll definitely look into those, thanks for the advice man it means a lot
Awesome bass player!!!
Duuuuuuuuude. Cover some Fallujah songs. Cerebral Hybridization would be tiiiiiight.
how does this not have a million, billion, trillion or gazillion views???
thank you very much Aslihan!
I wanna give up bass playing after watching this video. (this is a compliment..good job)
A new CannibalisticZombie video? And yet again you make me realize I need to practice WAY more to become even half the bassist you are. This and some of your other videos pretty much made me want to get a fretless, soon...
Well, your videos and pretty much all Obscura material. God damn I want a fretless NOW.
i agree, thats part of the reason why i play a fretless bass for my band Decrescent.
Man you deserve so much subscribers
I like your videos , i'm a fan
12/10 a sea of tea for this man;)
A linha de baixo dessa musica é linda, emociona! FODA!
Awesome as always. Digging the fretless tone, I'm looking into fretless myself. Got to try my first Warwick yesterday, gotta say I liked the tonal options with Parallel and Series.
very nice cover !!!
Man, this song is a masterpiece ,really , incredible . When i see the Beyond Creation vídeo last year, i think thats no one man could be do it good in the fretless, is a really difficult song . Excelent try , really .Good . Hey , and the Decrescent album is great ,good job, man.
Amazing cover btw
fretless bass is just so badass !!
best cover by far
You're my bass inspiration for real.
Takes guts to cover songs like these! Cheers mate!
Nice sound!)
I was wondering when CannibalisticZombie The Great would do an Omnipresent Bass cover... Amazing bro! Keep on!!! \m/
INSANE!!!
You are good, man.
Who else should cover this ;D Man, you're so awesome.
Despite I'm not really into fretless sound on metal, your skills and speed are outstanding. CONGRATZ! :D
no i do not have an endorsement yet. The banner was a gift from my friend who had worked at a guitar shop.
man,i have no words for it....
fucking awesome
If metal was a video game, this is the final boss battle.
final boss is the viraemia's bassist probably
@Ефим Тонких Scott Plummer ;) - Though Jeff Hughell could be right up there, too!
@@potrokh6363 well he died soo..
not for guitarists pfff
Kills you In one hit and sends you to the start of the game 😂
