*Just wanted to point out that this is the most watched bass playthrough on UA-cam.*
SiblingVlog For good reason! This is the pinnacle of metal bass tone.
Wait, how do you know that? How do you find that shit out?
Angiras Darbha Just listen to it my dude
It's hard to understand why because HE IS NOT THAT GOOD OF A BASSIST. HE JUST HAS ACCESS TO GOOD BASSES. GIVE ME THOSE DINGWALLS (I don't need a fucking pick I will slap these riffs) AND I WILL TAP, SLAP, or fingerstyle circles around him. All day.
Nolly isn't a good bassist, he is a great bassist. Serve the song! And his productions knock it out of the park.
Four years later and this may still be the crispiest, heaviest, most balanced picked metal bass tone I've ever heard. Nolly is such a top-tier producer, and a hell of a musician as well.
The only thing coming close are his showcases of the Alpha Omega and ADAM pedal. Besides that there is nothing sounding even close
I've liked his Make Total Destroy playthrough tone more, imo
One of the best rock/metal engineers I've ever had the privilege of learning from, as well
Checking in at 7 years later. Still crisp
@@8Scientist maybe until yesterday when they released icarus lives bass playthrough
Imagine animals as leaders with nolly's bass tone
I don't have a name he played on a few tracks on The joy of motion by AAL I believe
I was going to say that their tone is actually pretty sick too.
Listen to The Omnific, its. AAL but with 2 bass guitars and same amount of skill
@@above7793 Dude The Omnific is so sick!!!
well, it's like you imagine dragons as leaders....
I regularly come back to this just to hear this absolutely perfect tone
and go like wtf how do I sound like that lol
same
It's just turned up in the mix, but the tone is pretty standard. Hate to burst y'alls bubble
@@silkroad1201 I wouldn't say it's standard. It's a very particular plasticy brittle sound that's still got oomph. The rattle of the strings is something that I can never get sounding good. Probably because I have a bass with jazz in its name.
get a dingwall bass@@bassic6959
"hey VSauce, Michael here" *proceeds to shred bass* "now for some bass facts"
shit you beat me to it
Haha I checked before and was surprised no one else had done that
TheJunkieBox I can't believe he was in a Filthy Frank video recently...too hilarious
+Vaughn DuPont (Pelirrojo) Gotta get those spit facts
+Ericson Capone what would we do without em?
What a freakin' awesome tone. Sounds like he's play a 4 stringed bazooka.
Frank Black What a freakin' gorgeous bass I'm not jealous at all
He's playing drop A on a 4 strings, it always gonna sound beefy :P!
Gabriel Gauthier it's actually D# standard with the low D# tuned down to A
@@roykhau5777 *D standard
more like a 4 stringed inter continental ballistic missile.... :-)
2021 and this is still the gold standard of bass playthroughs
2023 still
@@seba.makron 2024!
you know your band is phenomenal when you have one of the greatest guitar players in the world playing bass for you!
Who is your favourite bass player and why is it Nolly?
cuz he got good
John Ro Myung
My favourite bass player is Nolly, because Nolly.
Oh, wait...
Because he crafted the greatest bass tone in modern metal
I hate to disagree, but mine has to be Nolly.
I love the fact that the company name is Dingwall because that's exactly what I always do with my guitars.
MarkToast in my case I always ding the amps
Dead sir
Most relatable comment I've ever read
oh fuck. move over elon musk, this comment sent my sides into low earth orbit with absolute ease
Somebody explain?
2023… this is still the best bass video on the internet 6 years later
I've seen this dude crush a bass line into absolute powder, seen him rock tappy virtuoso 6-string nonsense, and witnessed some incredible step-by-step videos on how you perform and produce drums.
Nolly Getgood is rapidly reaching the point where he has Gotgood and all of us, every musician, will be swept up in his wake.
He play 6 strings too
this bass tone makes we want to switch to playing bass. ive never even considered that before
Do both!
@@mvyper I do both and it's great. Gives you so much freedom, not having to argue with a guitarist all the time about why playing something outside of the guitar part is good
That's the power of B A S S
I always played both, even though bass is my main instrument👍.
Guitar is cooler. But B A S S is more 𝐏 𝐎 𝐖 𝐄 𝐑 𝐅 𝐔 𝐋
We need bass higher in mixes. Just saying. More Nolly pls.
Making bass higher in mix make metal sounds more brutal like in this video as example
mang kuruak lol ur such a brat
@rq irony
Make bass great again
Dawdy Drums i agree. It has that mean, angry,and powerful tone that needs to be heard.
He's a killer bassist, monster guitarist, mastermind producer. I mean what the heck!? He's literally the bearded Saitama from metal
Not enough modern metal bands give enough detail to the bass. It really gives songs so much depth
Bass isn't importan-
*A wild Nolly appears*
you sir are so not even a tad bit funny
Jayden Davidson Thanks a lot man. I try :)
+Ericson Capone you know bass sets them guitar tunes u☝p
You realize he's making fun of the people saying Bass wasn't important by pointing Nolly out as a great example for Bass being substancial?
+o3ix like you couldn't tell both our comments was sarcastic
probably the best bass sound I have ever heard
This video is proof that the idiots who berate bassists for playing with a pick couldn't be any less correct. People need to realise that music doesn't have any correct answers, and that this technique can sound AMAZING as it does here
But every real bass player can do just the same with fingers.
Alexey Polevoy there are some sounds you cant ger with fingers though
@@thecrazybassman3102, which sounds?
@@alexeypolevoybass Palm muting and a harsher attack
@@alexeypolevoybass "every real bass player"
music is not a competition, friend
It's very hard to Getgood at bass.
Nice!
No shit
Antriksh Tawra hahaaaaa
It’s easy to become barely competent, but unfortunately, like acoustic guitarists, bassists tend to stop there. I think we should all try to Getgood no matter what kind of instrument we play.
@@meowtherainbowx4163 chill
Look for Matt's playthrough on Thursday!
omfg yes
so much love!
(๑•́ ω •̀๑)
Of this song?
+timothy recio yup, read the description.
I've always thought Nolly's bass playing gets overlooked by fans on some of Periphery's material. Guy is freaking great.
Misha said once that Nolly is also the best guitarist in the band :D
Nolly is overlooked as a band member tbh. He does so much instrumentally, and engineering of course.
He's like brain of Periphery.
True. I'm usually not a big fan of bass players in general.. but Nolly.. dayum.
He has one of the best bass tones in all of metal imo
I never really got into Periphery but I remember the first time i saw this video thinking "hey this is pretty cool"
Then i went and saw Periphery live and they didn't have a fucking bassist and i was so disappointed
Saw them last week
No bassist. No Mark either.
Yeah cuz nolly stopped touring for reasons i guess🤷
Nolly quit to focus on his production career, as far as I know there wasn't any bad blood with the band so there's a positive :)
tetsky senpai Mark had family issues, they still put on a hell of a show regardless
@@tetskysenpai8538 Nolly quit the band but still writes, records, and produces for them. So basically, he just doesn't tour.
Please do more of these. For older stuff too.
That would be awesome
i see you everywhere
Erik Tails I am your new God.
Especially The Way the News Goes, and Catch Fire. I love those two songs on this album
+Sam Schellhase my fav is Marigold
I want to live in that bass tone
When the bass playthrough has more views than the song itself. This also happens to be the most viewed bass playthrough on the entirety of UA-cam.
P5 just dropped and is an awesome record! This was the video that introduce me to Periphery, incredible musicians... Thanks Nolly!!!
I ain't never seen nobody make music like that with a gosh dang fish before. That's one fine piece o' sea creature if I do say so m'self.
>bass
A musical instrument and a fish.
Those Dingwalls are badass
lmao
LOL
LOL
Oh, this explains why Nolly hasn't been performing on the tour... he's been too busy making sick bass guitar covers for the UA-cam.
Seriously, I saw them last night and that is bullshit. If I wanted to press play on a bass track I coulda stayed home.
Not sure why they didn't hire a touring player. You pay money to see the whole band play, not 5 of the 6 members with a bass track.
+Lurch “Murf” Murphy He wanted to stay home and focus on Producing. They didnt want to get a new Bass player because they don't want to ruin the chemistry between them.
+Chip Kanobe note to self: Periphery just nerfed their live shows. Thanks, Nolly! Their live show WAS one of their strongest points. Now it's a pack of tech nerd guitar wizards all plugged into a pre recorded bass track.
Honestly I don't like periphery but I love this bass player and Marc Holcomb, I could live with just watching them do you tube videos but ya staying home for production ? Like another band production not sure what that means
I miss you Nolly :c
If every periphery's songs were mixed like this, other metal in general too, the world would be a much better place xD.
Killer bass tone !
No it wouldn’t he sucked the life out of the rest of the track to put the bass up front🤦♂️
"Hey Vsauce, Nolly here"
Looool dude he could pass for Michael
Yeah, didn't realize Tavarish and Vsauce were in a band together.
Hey, Vsauce and welcome back to Binging with Nollish.
@@matthewbehr5725 leftover aftermarket parts is just weight reduction
@@matthewbehr5725 tavarish is a metalhead too
wtf is vsauce doing here
Can I give you some spit facts?
And as always, Thanks for watching!
It's true
Hey, Vsauce! Michael here...
Today we're doing a bass playthrough
But what exactly...is a bass...playthrough?
And will we really be playing the 'bass'? Is a bass not just a tool to play.. the air?
I love how he played all those incredibly difficult passages and he didn't even break a sweat.
Damn. Just damn. That got me a little....turgid. What a bass line and what a tone. I'd never heard of Periphery before and I'm blown away. What a bass player. I was clean shaven at the beginning of the video and when it finished I had a full beard. True story. Killer stuff!
This dude is a robot.... so precise, walked out straight from West world.
He has impeccable time, but a lot of that precise sound is the heavy compression he uses.
@@iunnox666 His picking technique is fucking perfect as well
@@iunnox666 You can still say that his playing is fucking incredible cause compression doesn't change the timbre of uneven notes, only changes the gain
@@sueghdsifbvjvn Don't get me wrong, he's a great player, but the effects he uses would cover up a LOT, to the point where you can't tell how clean his technique is. Yes, uneven notes will have different timbre, but compression *does* mask it quite a bit, and that high gain distortion masks it even more. You could hit his strings just about any way and itll sound the same. His setup doesn't leave much room for any "tone from the fingers".
clicked on this vid by accident...best accident ever
Luis Cisneros same
Luis Cisneros my mom said I was the best accident ever
Kyle Rutten no she didn't. You were def unwanted 😂
pinkdaddyhoehoe what about you, though
I have made the world’s most unbeatable compliment/insult ever. Bow before me.
So are you;)
Dude I've watched this video like 6 times in 3 days. This is THE bass tone that I've been searching for. Nolly's got his tone on lock in like every video sure but something about this setup in particular is *perfect.*
DI, guitar amp, and a bass overdrive
Is this even legal
lol
no
go away davie504 fan
Nope he’s using a pick

Dislikers, Nolly will find you, and then he will teach you how to play bass.
So you're saying that if I want free bass lessons from a god, I should dislike the video?
Then I will dislike the video from a thousand different accounts
+David Erro lol
In that case, this will be the first ever Periphery video I'll dislike.
They could not find the "Envy" button.
I'm not a bass guy but fuck I love his tone and how deep it is
Would genuinely prefer it if the final album mix contained this amount of bass. Sounds amazing.
His bass tone though. It's just so damn good.
1:39 Nolly stroking his wood
I love you man
That's a pretty NOLLY bass tone you have there, sir.
I've entered that exact store he was many times before and never knew that this awesome playthrough was done there.
That bass tone is round and shiny as Nolly's head
Misha's 'Marigold' playthrough is here! ua-cam.com/video/zBWURleQuLc/v-deo.html
Periphery will there be a bass playthrough of Marigold?
Periphery make a bass play through of marigold :)
“Hey Vsause Michael here, I don’t play bass.... but what if? I did..”
or “I don’t play bass... or do I?” *vsauce music starts*
Honestly it's players like him that inspire me to want to learn bass. It's so much more than just your typical boomer, "just support the guitar playet". It's it's own thing and I love it. I love seeing bass players utilize big beautiful chords and different techniques than just picking and actually using effects.
Hey man you should definitely check out bass, but just know that just supporting the guitar play is what he doing here, it’s just a flashy riff. Not that that’s bad, but sometimes supporting the guitar player is what is best for the whole song. There’s plenty of moments in this song where he plays something simple to make everything else sound better
Wow I never fully realized just how technical this song is.
Massive respect for Periphery every album just gets better

Once perfection is achieved, there's no where else to go. This is the pinnacle folks.
The tone that he gets is outstanding...and the playing..., no comment, perfection.
gawd DAMN!
Don't damn yourself, ye guitargod.
DAMNNNN BRO its too GOOD
yo is that THE Jackel Pun?!
You and Jackel need to do covers of this man! Or Habitual Line-Stepper is good too :D
you're one to talk lol
why dont they make the bass this loud in the actual songs
I was thinking the same thing, shit sounds immense
and considering Nolly produces it's probably his call on it.
Most Hi-Fi systems and headphones are fairly bass-heavy. Mixing is always a compromise, unfortunately.
Kind of hard to cut through the mix when you're playing with three guitarists! I agree the bass should be louder...
Because the mix wouldn't be as cohesive. Plus add vocals and there's even more competition for sonic space. I'm happy to hear it mixed this way on this playthrough alone. Album mix is fucking spot on as well.
I come back to this masterpiece often. For all the right reasons.
Adam is in 2 of the top 3 most watched bass playthroughs on UA-cam. As of 12/6/19, those 2 videos rack over 2.5 million views.

Where are all those little kids who say bassists that use picks are shit?
This how i want to play the bass! Shred it! Shred it! And some sexy slapping too! :D
MIR This pisses me off too. People think it's just a cop out but it's about tone. This sounds sharp and aggressive and amazing and the only way you could do that with your fingers is if you filed them down to the bones.
MIR Picks and fingers have their places.
Djenty stuff like what peripheroo does is really hard to make sound good without a pick, unless you slap. Most of the time i prefer the sound of fingerstyle, but i think the pick is pretty appropriate here. It would be interesting to hear some periphery tunes with the bass slapped instead of picked though
Right here smart ass. Nolly should drop the pick and slap the shit outta that fanned fret board. (from a bassist of 20 years+ and hardly a kid seeing as I'm 33.)
This is not usually my style of metal, but this is siiiiiiiick!
Ive watched this video countless times over the years, probably the most enjoyable to watch and listen to bass riffs ever written, fucking masterpiece!
Those bass tones have me at half mast.
Yeah. Gives me a woodrow wilson too!!!!!!!LMAO
A total Woody Harrelson.
Matthew Froehlich LMAO
just half?
Nah, man. Full boner, so hard that it hurts
This almost makes up for missing him on tour ;D
Not quite😤
Too sad we won't see him play live any more :'(
I'd love to see a band that sounds just like this. No voice, bass in front, amazing riffs.
virgil horghidan ever listen to Royal Blood?
@@benhemsworth8555 I did actually, It's awesome!
@1234 Yes, but it's not bass in front like this one. They turn it way down in the mix :( such a waste
@@virgilhorghidan7496 not to mention the first album doesn't feature Nolly either as bassist, or in the albums production
check out the ominific
Would love an instrumental album from these guys.
There Is on yt n stuff look up a album n add instrumental
Nolly's tone is perfect.

I want producer pack
I want Big D Slap
fuckin lucas
it me
Periphery hey how do you say your band name?
That bass is worth more than my soul.
This tone feels like my skeleton is getting massaged
0:27 Duuuuh dun dun din goi goioioioi
Those harmonics always freak me out! So nasty!
Ikr!
I think that nolly record those harmonics on guitar
He actually did, you can see it in one of the studio updates.
I get fucking shivers when I hear it every time man!
Looks like he finally got good.
All he knows is how to get good, son!
I caught the pun. It was excellent!
He always gets good
He needs to come out with an instructional video, "Get Good with Getgood"
I coulda got good if my mom got me getgood. :(
Nolly is always so dang in control, gotta admire his skill set!
This has to be the one video i always come back to watch just to appreciate the fact that this tone is always gonna be the best dingwall tone. its never sounded better than this
This is everything I've ever wanted and more... No use doing a playthrough of my own for this one now >
All bow down to Nolly and his divine beard
The bass tone is incredible. Nolly's playing is fantastic!
That little smile at the end makes this video so much better.
That smile at the end as though he's just finished fluffing some pillows! 🤣
where can I buy this brand of chunky peanut butter?
This seems to be endlessly watchable. Absolutely crushing tone. Plus Nolly.
This man's sharp and precise playing and his calm, seraphic expression almost anger me. I envy him.
Best picked Bass sound i have ever heard! I know Nolly has done a awesome drum sample library recently but he should definitely look into translating this bass sound beyond hardware (like sampling drums) -maybe looking into Bass focused DAW plugins next, as he obviously has the ear for this market. A very small market that is rapidly growing.
is that the vsauce guy
"Hey guys! Vsauce here, and today we are going to analyze the age old question... does it djent?"
I just showed a friend this and how close they look
Stop
One of the videos which made me interested in bass. Thanks Nolly
I can't get enough of listening. You always have something to learn by watching this video.
Please re-release the producer pack so people like me who missed preorder for whatever reason have a chance to have it.
Oh my God, a Periphery song without vocals. I've shed tears of joy listening to this.
I keep coming back to enjoy this masterpiece.
Tears in my eyes from listening. I love it
Oh man that tone is heavenly!
THAT FUCKING TONE..... Also, Periphery is a gift to humanity.
This never gets old. Ever.
I can't get enough of this, just spectacular.
7 people are still too sour that he's not touring
wait... he's not?!?
+Tr1ppy b3ard who is? I'm about to see them tomorrow :(
they sounded pretty good live, best drum sound I have ever heard. Spencer was barely audible during some songs, but I wasn't complaining lol. Also that bass track sounds huge with their guitars.
wait what
damn this tone is B E E F Y
That smile at the end warms the cockles of my heart.
Holy shit this album was released coming up on 2 years ago. This shit still feels fresh to me.
