Fun Fact: He showered several times a day! I had a friend who played bass in his tour band during the "Miss Vicki" daze.

I heard them before but did not know the name of the band. Good chit. On the music sharing, I totally agree. It has been my main reason I explore this site. At first it was the documentaries and some political stuffs. Thanks to "Throw Away Your Television"

I really want to catch this band live one day https://youtu.be/QoNbGR96fl0. I want to be the bass player's groupie.

Thought this was the musical term "bass", as in the bass drop got the turtle. Video was confusing and surprising. =)

see, there's no bass in that either.

Not enough bass.

no one related to this song knows what bass is.

Is that like a bass ukulele or something? That is the largest one I have seen.

As a bass player I've tried playing some Babymetal for an internet forum challenge before. Not really my cup of tea, but some of the songs are fun. I don't think I've ever seen a video of them before, or if I have they tend to focus on the singer girls and not the band. So it was fun to see the bass player jamming out.

Dude's 6 string bass looks like it has a massively wide neck. Or maybe he's just proportionally small? I play a 5 string, and the neck seems like nowhere close to 5/6ths as wide as that beast... I thought maybe he was rocking an exotic bass with 8 or 10.

One thing I liked about that in particular:
She looked like she was having fun, even when she wasn't so good.

I've played bass (electric, never tried an upright) for about 15 years. I only got *really* serious about it after getting Rocksmith 2014 -- went from playing once in a while to almost every day. I'm a LOT better than I was, can play a LOT of songs at least decently (say, 97%+ accuracy in Rocksmith), but still nowhere near as skilled as some.

BUT, it has been FUN every step of the way. Especially after trying Rocksmith, which presents "sheet music" in a visual, tab-like format that I can now effectively sight-read (it takes some getting used to, but works great once you figure it out). A lot of people are reluctant to try learning an instrument because they think it won't be fun, particularly in the early going. They think they will suck.

Well, in my experience that is half right. Yeah, you're going to suck (I certainly did). But it is loads of fun, in spite of that. And you get better fast -- the human brain is a pretty amazing thing. One day, you try a new song and think "damn, that is so hard I'll *never* be able to play it right". Then a month or two later you think "oh yeah, I should give that a second try" and all of a sudden it is very doable. Awesome to have those little moments of revelation when you realize that "hey, I am definitely getting better at this!"

he seems so pleased with himself.

here is an idea buddy,how about talking to your neighbors?
i know that is a radical idea,but you do live RIGHT NEXT DOOR!

by making your neighbors aware that the music they are blasting is pumping directly into your place gives you an opportunity to address the situation.

the newer apartments have walls that are akin to rice paper.you can literally hear everything,but it does not take a lot of brain power to redirect the bass in order for the music to NOT travel through those paper thin walls.

this dude is just creating conflict where there really does not have to be any at all.

engineering WIN,
but conflict resolution FAIL.

It's a win-win for everyone to watch such great cars race. The AC Cobras are cooler than just about everything, though. *sports
Too bad the wimpy mic doesn't pick up the growling bass tones of the engine.

I've seen bigger bass.
