You know this is such a deceptively simple piece. I bet this is one that makes you proud. You make that bass sing like an old horn player from Harlem or New Orleans.
I've always loved the sound of the Pedulla bass. Mark Egan got me turned on to them with his music. This solo that you are playing is gorgeous on many levels. Thanks so much for sharing this.
Unfortunately, Pedulla will not be producing their basses any longer. One of the giants of bass building has announced his retirement. Michael Pedulla of Pedulla Guitars, who has been building basses for over four decades, posted the news on his website. “After nearly 45 years of designing, building, and servicing instruments, I am retiring…
Nicely done it’s about time somebody played the bass with some originality and not a copycat of Jaco Pastorius or Stanley Clarke thank you keep up the good work
Once again such a nice tehnique without too many frills or showing off. Main focus is the melody being played and that's what makes your playing stand out from the others. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
@@DamianCoccio I agree. I've been playing for nearly forty years, but I've never been that fast a player, finding my bliss in keeping a solid beat and focusing on a better grasp of melody and harmony. Thanks for sharing, you are fast becoming one of my favorite bassists to listen to, and I wouldn't be surprised to find myself being influenced by your work. You are awesome, sir.
@@DamianCoccio No, thank you, sir, for inspiring me to find the personal courage - and invest the basic funds (Boss looper) - to set out on my own, creating my own simple compositions that focus on melody, harmony, and rhythm. Question: is Michael Manring an influence, tonally? You and him are both influencing me especially in that area.
Hi, i'm from indonesia. I just found this chanel about 1 month ago. I love all your video. Listening to this song is like listening to a classical guitar solo or classical piano solo. This makes me feel relaxed.
@@DamianCoccio You're welcome. I came to this video because I was looking for a video about Pedula MVP 5 bass. But I know it's not the Pedulla. The beautiful sound came from you.
Charles Lambiase the best sounding fretless to me. Its expensive though. Check out Ibanez srh 500 séries it sounds really Nice for its price range. Cheers!
Charles Lambiase what amps you are connected When playing fretless???? U are incredibly amazing Bass player . with passion For perfection and I like it Very much sounds ???? Larger than life.
@@jozefilzyk1625 Sorry I missed your comment, thank you! I record direct with no amp. Please note: I do not recommend or endorse Pedulla basses, I only owned this bass for a few weeks before selling it.
They are great sounding basses with incredible sustain for producing a singing sustain in the melody lines like no other fretless! I wish they worked better for me ergonomically and the company was easier to work with. The neck is too thin for my hands and causes cramping and the overall comfort and balance is seriously lacking. I was forced to sell mine due to those issues. The luthier has no interest in accommodating any form of customization for any price. I have found Fbass and Fodera (great companies) very accommodating in this regard and a very special custom 5 string fretless is being built for me to address those issues.
@@DamianCoccio I had a similar experience with my fretless Pentabuzz, it was really hard letting it go the tone was magical. I'm assuming you had difficult experience letting yours go too... thanx for the song in video it's very comforting, soothing, heavenly.... just purchased it on iTunes
After some browsing of bass solos I found you, man you really make me want to pick up a fretless! Of course this is right after I just got done repairing my own yamaha 5 string trbx505 lol. Keep up the good work man!
My first wonderfull fretless is up to arrive! Will surely try to get some learnin from Your solos, never played fretless before. Bass playing is wonderfull (17 years with my 4 strings) but fretless It's completely another world!
Excellent, congratulations! Fretless is amazing and IMO a more organic experience to play. Can be very meditative and overall it improved my listening with pitch being critical. Enjoy!
one thing I am about it sound I am forever doing the best I can making sure that my instruments are a complete extension of what I feel and hear very well done
Dude this fretless is beautiful, I would be listening all day. I bought a fretlless bass and started searching and found u. congratulations sound wonderful. I hope to reach that level. If possible make some videos with some tips. thank you. I live in Brazil.
Damian, Superb tone on this one. I followed your advice and got a fretted bass turned into E-C gauge and can't be more happy. However, I got recently a new 5 string fretless from a Luthier in Florida but the C string doesn't seem to have the same sustain and get lost in the mix. Do you play this tune with E-C or is the regular B-G. thanks.
Beautiful! Damian, you have very accurate intonation (not so easy to do) and you have created a beautiful composition. Many compliments for your spotless execution of this piece!

What is your signal chain on this?
Parabéns, lindo.
I know 😢
How beautiful and expressive. I remember playing a Penta Buzz once and it was complete joy...
One of the best fretless tones I've ever heard ❤
I'd like to know what pedals he's using
You know this is such a deceptively simple piece. I bet this is one that makes you proud. You make that bass sing like an old horn player from Harlem or New Orleans.
Thank you, I appreciate it.
You always have such a gorgeous tone, your music is a lovely way to start a sunday morning- it makes me feel so peaceful!
Thank you or your comment and I am so glad it helps you feel peaceful!
@@DamianCoccio It's Sunday morning and this perfect chill music with my tea
Eoin Duffy thank you, so glad you are enjoying it!
I just ordered a fretless bass. I am sure I will play it as beautifully as you....In a hundred years.
David Eskelin thank you for the kindness. Best wishes on your fretless journey!
Keep it simple, feel what you are playing , and don’t overdue the slide technique. You’ll be fine. It’s been a year since your post. How’s it going?
Watch also Jeff Schmidt!

Beautiful tone and phrasing.
Thank you very much.
Pure Magic, as Always
Thank you Deolinda
Fretless Pedulla's are the sweetest sounding basses on Earth in my personal opinion... sounds like you are in Heaven.
They are great sounding basses with incredible sustain for producing a singing sustain in the melody lines like no other fretless! I wish they worked better for me ergonomically and the company was easier to work with. The neck is too thin for my hands and causes cramping and the overall comfort and balance is seriously lacking.

Bone Valle yes I can relate totally it was very difficult to decide to sell it!
Reminds me of the ocean, very cool!
Thank you
Какой красивый и плотный звук, успехов вам!)

Brendan Green thank you and good luck on your fretless journey should you choose to take it!
