Fretless Bass Solo - 'At The Helm'
Vložit

- Fretless Bass. My favorite instrument on a song called 'At The Helm'. Alot of people ask about about basses. I did a major sale of several instruments last year that had any ergonomic issues. I then set out to work on a new fretless bass with Vinny Fodera and the Fodera team that would have all of the ergonomics matched to my body as well as an amazing tone. This left me with just a few basses I love and am completely comfortable with.

Everyone should follow this excellent example!
Not to state the obvious, but if everyone did the world would probably be a better place ;-)
I swear to God, slow bass solos are amazing in general.
I really don't understand why so many people say that fretless guitars and bass guitars are crap.
I guess they're just not good enough to play them🤷🏻♂️
You're right, most of them don't know how to use them. They're specially good when you're playing songs with lots of sliding as it provides a cleaner and smoother sound
I havent heard anyone say that fretless basses are crap 🤔
@@JubbLaRacing I have heard many people say that.
@@JubbLaRacing Oh I have. And in every case it's because they're trying to play it wrong, or they just don't "get" it.
Full disclosure: I've tried and I'm crap at it, but it's definitely my failing, not that of the instrument. Hearing music like this is what motivates me to try harder.
I think people say that because it takes a lot of skill to play them which is skill they may not have.
I'll admit I've never played a fretless before (accept once in a music shop with an upright, which I think counts) but I'm hoping to get one soon. They're so beautiful, plus the harmonic slide has an allure.
I wouldn't say they're better but they're different in many ways.
This is the best bass solo I have heard.
photographer belgium thank you much.
This is awesome, comparable to Davie504's Fret less bass
2 words... John... Entwistle...
@@happyend1084 didn't play fretless...
@@51m0nn so? playing fretless bass is not much more difficult than playing frets... the author of the video is good, but not one of the best...
Dark, peaceful, and full of life and emotion.
Love the low end Ba-dun-dun to bring it all together.
Beautiful work my friend.
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it.
This music sets me an existencial mood.
this is the most beautiful Fretless Bass song I've heard, Wow!
john c thank you very much!
Beautiful song. And that's a beautiful bass too.

A beautiful soul stirring bit of music. Thank you.
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it.

I need more fretless bass inspo and this is exactly what i’d like to sound like one day
Damian thank you once again! Your music is very much appreciated!
oscar santos you are welcome, thanks for listening!
That’s so pretty. Love playing it late at night. Thank you so much my brother.

Damian!! You are rules! Thank you for your music.
pipupupi thank you very much, so glad you enjoy the music.
That was so amazing .I just got done playing for five hours and now I want to go fetch the bass again :>) I loved the song and you played perfect.Cheers Mate :>)
humblegeorge thank you much, so glad you enjoyed it!
A version of this song is on my new album 'Ephemeral Lane' - iTunes: itunes.apple.com/us/artist/damian-coccio/id940943695&app=itunes Bandcamp: damiancoccio.bandcamp.com/ Mailing list: electrifiedbass.net/albums Thank you for your subscription and support, I appreciate it!
The art of 'holding back'
Beautifully delivered
Thank you
yes I agree with you.there doesn't need blistering fast chops on such a sweet composition and I think thats how he wanted it ;)
Don't think I've heard this song before. It's beautiful. I know some people will argue this, but fretless can't be beat. And when you add your outstanding talent, it makes it just that much more wonderful to listen to.
AriKona thank you! It’s a new song. I love fretless too! Much more expressive.
@@DamianCoccio My error. I though you said it was a favorite song when you were referring to the bass. 🤦♂️ Definitely agree on the expressiveness. I learned on an upright many years ago and currently have a Fender AmPro Fretless. Haven't transitioned to anything more than 4 strings yet - they give me enough to keep my fingers busy ;-).
AriKona and sometimes less strings is more! I still love playing my 4 string.
Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you!
This piece is what fretless basses where made for! Great work.
Thanks! So glad you enjoyed it.
This is just amazing. I have first discovered Damian a few years ago, since then he has inspired me to be a better bass player. He is the reason now i have an ebow haha.
Also, his compositions help me clear my emotions whenever I am in a dark place.
Thank you! That is great to hear.
Wonderful tones and feel. Excellent recording. You are a fine player and a great musician, I enjoyed this video a lot!
Thank you!
Very touching....
Beautiful.... Elegant.... Inspirational...!!
Thank you!
Just perfect tone, great emotional playing.. I love it!
Thank you!
terrific tune and that melody really hits home. Love the harmonic play that gives the chord progression. I was messing around on my fretless and found that the melody sounds nice down an octave too. Something to mess with for a 2nd take of this cool composition. Well done Damian
Thank you, so glad you are enjoying the music!
First time I've ever heard a bass guitar with a voice that can sing, Awsome...played brilliantly...
Thank you very much.
This is just outstanding. ....
John Curtin thank you very much.

Thank you
toca muito Damian.
Wonderful Damian! Ergonomics is extremely important to me as well. Creativity and playability can suffer greatly with bad ergonomics. Congratulations on your work with Vinny.
Michael Johnson thank you! It was an honor working with Vinny, he and the team did a fantastic job. I have some pics on the web if you are interested in that sort of thing: electrifiedbass.net
@@DamianCoccio
Wow! I just checked the bass on your site. It is a true masterpiece! 28 frets!?! You play it masterfully! Have you named it yet! heh, heh. I have a greater appreciation for your musical voice now and I know how frustrating it can be when you can hear that voice but struggle to find it. Congratulations!
Michael Johnson thank you! Yes it was definitely a lot of trial and error with various woods, neck shapes and ergonomic designs but I think it’s finally there and I am grateful for that!
That’s bass sounds so good. I’m sure it plays like a dream. I’m surprised it’s not a six string. Love it.
james coney thank you. It does play great, I’m really pleased with it.
Bro that's sooooooooo goooooooood
Thanks!
A man can cry too...
Just a amazing sound and your skill to make it shine trough... Do you believe Fodera will offer a Damian Coccio signature bass, you deserv it ... blessing to you and familly ! I will buy one for sure 😍!
Gilles Collin thank you I appreciate it! I haven’t discussed that with Fodera but I certainly appreciate the sentiment.
No hay cosa mas hermosa que el solo de este bajo, hasta me hizo llorar recordandome de mi hermano
soy nuevo tocando el bass y esta es la primera cancion que aprendo, muchas gracias!!
Just after getting myself a fretless acoustic bass so Im inspired after listening to this.
Thanks for writing and uploading this beautiful song you wrote!!!
Conor Keane Thank you for watching and for your kind comments.
Wish this was on a cd❤️
David Gibbings sorry no hard copies were made after year in review, but it is available to download from iTunes.
OMG gorgeous

Thanks
This is very good
Andrew Small thank you
Very well done sir
NorCalBASSIX thank you very much
I usually hate bass solos.....I really love this!!
Thanks, so glad you enjoyed it!
A wonderfull sound. Less is certainly more. You have a special gift for fretless. I have Fender Fretless basses which are great, but would love a Fodera one day. They sound excellent (When played like this, Damian). But I also want a Wall Fretless and a Cortex Napolean Fretless. I am greedy.
Thank you very much.
Damian.Хоть вы и не ответили, всё равно скажу,что именно это произведение,из многих ваших,для меня лучшее.
Thank you very much. I am so glad the music is resonating with you!
i love the sound of a fretless bass guitar
Jaco vibes
...Damian you have a great Soul...
Dengia64 thank you
Oh Damian, it's soooo beautiful - I love it from the first second - i hear it over a Valve Tube Preamp and two fast and very realistic mono's and it sounds awesome!!! Your uploading quality, sound and picture is really great, too - you got my abo since the last video and i will take a look at your side even i find the time :)) Greetings from the audiophile German ;))
And by the way - your bassplay is at it's finest - love it :))
Thank you very much Marcus I am so glad you are enjoying the music and the production! I appreciate your comment and hope you continue to enjoy it.
