Very impressive, but what can you do with a bassless fret.
I will
Yes.
Very impressive idea
yes
+1 to that ! :D
Very impressive, but can you pick up my dad from the airport?
Hahahahahahaahahahah 9,5/10
Jajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajaja
did your dad get picked up yet
😄😄😄👍👍👍
I challenge Davie504 to pick up your dad from the airport
0:26 those harmonic slides are extra hard. Very impressive
I thought those were harmonics ... very creative of him
all i could say is "Ooooh" its so smooth
You can watch how tony franklin plays it
i never even knew you could slide a harmonic!
@@evildave702001
Only on fretless basses
That time when Davie made actual facial expressions whilst playing! 😁
OMG
Omg slap like now bass face at 9 million subs or smol pp
You mean that time when he actually played. I know his new content is really popular among non musicians and kids but this kind of stuff is rare from him now and that's kinda sad. Well, to each their own. His channel grew immensely after making more memes than music so I can't blame him.
@@lamenamethefirst I mean he plays cool stuff every video between the jokes. I get that he's not putting out pure unedited music vids anymore, but there is still great content every vid I watch.
That time when Davie actually played music. Now he's Pewdiepie with a bass.
You must work in an office, this is truly a great slideshow
Nice
This needs more likes 🤣
Please do not utter those words again sir... please for our safety
🤣
Mr P *sighs*
One day the bass is going to slap you back...
Impossible if I slap it first
Bass slaps davie vid
This happens only in Soviet Russia
He is Italian, not russian
@@ubiquityphantom6354 r/whoooosh
This is honestly one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.
I’m a guitarist and I have a sudden urge to buy a bass.
Welcome to the Church of Bass, where we deny the impurity of guitar shreds in favor of funky tunes and melodic goodness.
(In all seriousness I play both, both are good, but bass is kinda groovy ngl)
@@rokaq5163 heresy
@miika. Do it now!
Bass have this groove that takes you... to another world
I have a bass, but I mostly play guitar, then a Davie504 video comes on and his bass seems to make my bass dance out of it's case and into my hands.
On 0:36 I thought it was going to be
"the final countdown"
That was the most E P I C part
*E P I C O*
Same
On 01:30 RHCP Aeroplane
1:08....never heard this amazing tone
The magic of sliding harmonics fam
Me to
It's in part because he uses flatwound strings
Harmonics
honestly i just thought it sounded like a jump pad from sonic
The sliding harmonic gets me ever bloody time
No doubt.. i was like "What is that!!"
Cello
You ought to look into a channel called Remco's groove lab, he's got a bunch of fretless bass vids that are really damn good
@@perryborn2777 yes
isn’t that string made of some kind of rubber?
*The tabs for this be like:* “Ok, now hit fret 15.879 on the D string”.
😂😂
Brilliant! 😁
That would be a really flat E if I'm not mistaken
Edit: Nvm it would be a flat F#
One of the grooviest solos he has to this day
4 strings and no frets, that's a violin!!
@J J no dude, that's obviously a violin. I guarantee it.
Nah, it's a viola
Evan Roden nah dude it’s a piano
nah dude, that’s a ukulele. He just fed it well.
Double bass
I love the slides :D
what types of stings are you using?
I think we all do.
Harmonic slides blew my mind, I have never seen that before.
That is very good. Im impressed. I didnt expect a solo that awesome. Respect!!!
Why are you so talented?
This guy is the reason I have started to learn slap bass he is incredible
I’m here after two set violin attempted to roast the bass.
@not hing fix your spelling. ps. twoset destroyed davie
BAHAHAHAHAHAH THAT WAS IRONIC
And also it was just 3 men joking with each other. No need to make this the greatest deal in the Internet.
gundurr___ twoset is trash
hi hear, I'm see
Gavin Berth overpoweringly arguably not
1:47 I would call that a smile..
He knew he'd done something good :)
Checkmate
But he never smiles
And his ears. This was back before he became one with the memes and became a meme in itself
@@bishopm4401 you saw nothing
Everyone who asked him to play Fretless just removed one of his limitation
Thats really true
There just making look like more of a badass
He actually never had some kind of limitation, lmao.
Fretless bass sounds RIDICULOUS!! Awesome job Davie!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA (Anybody reading this won't know why I'm laughing so much)
That is probably your best solo I've seen. Great job!
0:58 master of puppets :D
More like Basster or puppets
@@sheepwithcorpsepaint8710 u watch Devin Roling
pik fung Fu Yes I do.
Glad someone else heard it too!

The best bass solo to ever be made
All great bass solos are the best. Check out Jaco Pastorius Victor Wooten Marcus Miller and that Polish guy Wyldzcek or something. All very great bass soloists. Mononeo also.
I think this was the first Davie video I ever watched, and so this video got me into playing bass, still going two years later, still struggling my way through Clay Gober basslines :)
Keep playing.
I think I like the sound of the fretless bass better
Same
I think we all do
I really have a hard time playing a fretted after going fretless for several years. It's like there's an extra pedal on the bass at all times when you can just crunch against the board with the strings.
Fretless anything sounds better imho, but they're barely used at all... The only band that i know uses a fretless guitar for example is thank you scientist (i probably know other bands that use fretless instruments, i just don't know if they actually do, like king crimson probably does?)
@@iota-09 Tony levin does sometimes, also bands like Obscura and Beyond Creation
0:06 is probably my favorite riff that I've ever heard
It is amazing. I come back to this video every few days to listen again
Same, the up slide then down slide sounds so nice
@@gerardgeuss1887
You know what also is nice?
The amount of likes on this comment
@@saucyboi8721 even better
One of the funkiest Davie's solos.....aaaaand nobody cares about it anymore
Not too sure about that.
@@Srcsqwrn hello new one :) and welcome
well at least i still watch it
2021 still there.
Awesome music never gets old.
@@SH1974 true!
Watching this for the third time back to back, getting hyped for my first bass to arrive in a few days.
Fretless bass is without a doubt my favorite sounding instrument.
same here... lol
69 likes the equilibrium has been achieved
Check it out when it has proper flatwounds
@@yeoldefoxeh254 rounds + fretless is a great combination, especially on a cyanoacrylate glazed board
It has that ring to it. It sings.
00:37 sounds like a solo made up of Sonic bounce sound effects.
Which song is this
Yo ma man's here! The best car audio man 😉
editing
Especially 0:45
Them: Don't fret...
Davie504: OK
pff
Every time I come back to this video. It never cease to amaze me.
0:36 This part sounds very beautiful, magical and unique, because without frets some notes were slightly out of tune.
I thing the same
With a fretless instrument there is no such thing as out of tune. Take the fretless guitar from the song It Is Known by Consider the Source. Fretless instruments just allow greater sonic expression.
Right, Without frets, it would sound off tuned
Barron Daly i mean, violin players can definitely play out of tune
bro you need to listen to some slow classical music, after, you will feel this just as a more melodical part, not magical and beautiful. Now you feel it like this because bass plays only bass lines (support or better armony), and when he plays the melody you feel it like this.
Very impressive ... but what can you do without a Davie ?
this is my favourite
He'd just get a friend to do the video haha
A 504
More like, a 404! ahh I'll leave...
but wait, if it was an Error 504, it would be, like, if the video was never uploaded; he gets an Error 504 and can't upload the video
Hahahaha
Love it. Killer playing, and the cheeky grin at the end? Priceless.
This is one of my favorite pieces of music I've ever heard. I have it bookmarked and it comes up in my rotation regularly.
tabs?
On my Patreon page, soon :)
how can you make fretless tabs lol
+RaptorXGamer this is the reason why i ask it xD
sorry for bad english
The same way you make them for fretted instruments. The frets have gone but the notes are all still in the same places.
Macko1968
man it was a joke
He was happy with this part. I found it really cool. Look at him smile :). 0:26
That's supposed to be an Easter egg XD because for some reason people say DONT SMILE I dunno why
he's a robot, he can't smile
1:46 He is smiling
And we can look Davie's ears before 6 million subs.
Adrián Rivero ...
Was looking for this. Very impressive. Satisfied.
One of my personal favorite Davie bass solos.
i think i just fell in love....... with the fretless bass
Me too. Will buy as soon as I can get any good at regular bass.
+Davis Johnson I'd suggest learning on a frettless, not anymore difficult if ur not used to frets ands develops your ear for music so much more and then the Jump to frets is child's play
Johnny Lambe as someone who started on an upright double bass I can say I should have gone fretless from the beginning of my time on the bass guitar. Learning it that way is by far the best way to learn. You'll learn the actual scales and you'll be forced to know where everything is. Way better than learning a fretted one.
Once you master all the fretless basics, there’s no going back to playing fretted.
Very impressive..... But what can you do with a completely untuned bass?
YES
What about if each string he randomly generates a note per string ?? :D
DO IT!
tune it?xD
I'm up for this!
I challenged him for this! :)
Absolutely amazing. Davie is a bass legend
There is something just so satisfying about playing a fretless bass!!! I got to play an old Thunderbird back when I was 16 and I loved it! Could not afford it...hell I couldn't afford the strings for it..lol
It is a shame that so many musicians that could be superstars never get to shine because the almighty dollar snuffs out that flame.
Let's hope that in the future, money is less important than the talents that are waiting for their chance to shine!
It's an excuse. If you must you will. "Talent" only raise in adversity, and being unable to afford a crazy expensive instrument is what make you work towards it. If you give a million dollar to any potential musician, you can be sure that's how you turn down that flame.
Very impressive..... But what can you do with a doublebass ?
KEEP THIS GUY UP!
Nice idea, i would love to see that
*Davie playing a bass without headphones*
have been vibing to this for 7 hours now
This is my first Davie504 vid.
Been subbed ever since.
I want one. I’m not talking about the bass
@Dean 1914 Who doesn't?
Theres need to be a product called grow a Davie
@@haroldflower8589 oh shhhiiii
U want slap?
You want a slap don't ya?
Was that...Sliding harmonics?!
AirCommando12 On a fretless is completely possible. On a regular bass the frets will stop it as you're trying to slide.
Yeah, it was. I’ve never been so hard in my life
All your videos are impressive. Can you transcribe it to tab?
Tony Franklin was the first player I ever heard do that.
jirky015 Steve Bailey check him out. He does the coolest artificial harmonics.
Hands down my favorite thing you've ever done. Been watching for you for years. Still makes me get chills. Killed it man.
Also dee has 69 likes on their comment. So you have to do it now. Checkmate!
BEST BASS SOLO I HAVE SEEN! THANK YOU :)
This video is old but
You my guy
You keep impressing me every day
This comment is old but
You my guy
Is extremely right
Agreed
Oh hey its my long lost brother
Impressive, But can you do it without any fingers?
YES EVERYONE LIKE THIS I WANNA SEE THAT!
Use the fretless, a capo and a pick...
that would be awsome
Punch you.
Using a pick on a fretless is lame.
One of my absolute favorite bass solos for years bro. You are the sole reason i picked up a bass. Thanks brother.
You are absolutely the best bass player! Love your talent & energy!!
Very impressive, but what can you do with a DOUBLE BASS?
YESS PLEASE!
Yesss
I see us having to wait a while for this video since he might have to learn it. (The fret spacing is a lot bigger)
he has made 3 bass video xd
PLEEEEEEAAAAAASE
Very impressive, but UK isn't in EU anyomore
Yes it is, jesus fucking christ.
who are you and why did you do that :D
+The Pink Faerie no it isn't
oh god why
It is in Europe ofc but the whole EU thig lol...For now...Honestly I hope they stay in EU
Sick jams!!!
still one of my alltime favorites!
What can he do with a fret-less bass? Destroy your hopes & dreams.
I love the big grin on your face at the end. Even you can't help smiling at your own insanely funky groove. This is my favorite thing you ever played. Even my 3 and 6 year old kids asked to watch it again
Excellent!! Love the song and great playing. :)
Excelente, de lo mejor que he escuchado.... Gracias flaco.
Very impressive but what CAN'T you do with a bass ?
O.o
nice challenge
Thats a question, not a challenge
Do this! This is the best challenge!
I think he already done that
I bet you anything none of the people that disliked can give a valid reason why they did. This is a perfect bass solo. Sounded incredible my dude
They were scrolling down to read comments and hit dislike by mistake. Only possible explanation.
They like the non playing, continual talking bass videos most likely.
They thought it was a poorly made video about a solo bass fishing trip. 🎣
I mean he's just playing. That's it. He never explains things, with white boards and colored markers. Tell me what you are doing. Use graphs. And other things. But not your Bass! Lol
Since when do we need to have a valid reason to dislike ?
Epic. I hope there are more of these to come
One of your bests solos, in my opinion.
Sliding around on a fretless bass is the first thing I would do if I had one, and this song does exactly that. Great work Davie!
First thing I'd try is play steady. See how that goes first.
This is my most favourite Davie's solo ever.
I have just started learning bass as my second instrument after playing the violin for 7 years with my reasoning being "bass is like a massive violin with frets (and no bow obvi)" and well this..... this is a massive violin
You are my hero i have watched this a million times and this was my intro to bass
Impressive... But what can you do with Donald Trunp?
We need to build a bass and make the guitarists pay for it!
Isn't that how guitars making normal works?
+Sheldon DaMoose
Do you even grammar?
+Sheldon DaMoose *normally works
+Catbug “v.” I offer my sincere apologies for my lack of proper Grammer in my comment. I also look to clarify that I do in fact "Grammer" most of the time and regret to say that due to a lack of sleep my brain was not functioning 100% and therfore my skills slipped. I would also like to thank you kind sir for informing me of my Grammer mistake so that I can correct it and others may see and learn from this experience. Take heart in the fact that you have helped many people by pointing this fact out. Have a wonderful day.
That fretless sound is soo amazing!!!! I used to walk several miles to my Long and McQuades, when I was about 15, just to play on the fretless T-bird they had there. I would sit there and be in heaven, till they kick me out... which usually was about 2 hours. I think they let me play that long because I got pretty good at making these sweet melodies. I could not afford anything in the store as my mother was a widow, my younger brother was a kidney patient and I was too young to work. In short we were the almost homeless of today. After listening to this sweet piece, the distinguishing sound of the instrument, I still wish I could grab a fretless and get back to heaven.
Thank you for a flashback that I thought I never experience again.
WOW!!! That was VERY impressive. Best to all.
I remember playing a fretless bass when I played a lot of guitar, and actually loved it... dont understand why they aren't more popular
Very impressive... But what can you do with a violin bow?
yes
already said this
+Dad it's been 3 years why haven't you come home yet
play the upright bass...
done
Sliding reminds me of 90's video games xD
Awesome work!!
Cool playing man, love the way you play the bass 👌
Very impressive, can you do it with a Vodka bottle?
whilst also singing "ra ra rasputin"
Ayyyyyy...
Be very drunk
Or a Tabasco
He’s italian, do it with pasta sauce
Very impressive! But does Your Bass Djent?
snap!
ha
+Aaron Tottman goes the strings
+Jamie Carrick lol
damn I payed for that
Love those chimes slides ascending descending ...never heard anyone do it like you...ithat was great
my favorite solo of yours
Memes meets bass
YESS
YES
YESSEY
YEEEEEEESSS!!!
ooooooy yessss
This bit sounds so good. 1:14
Beautiful playing.
I found davie from this video like literally an hour after he uploaded it, been watching him ever since!
P.s Sorry if there is a bumch of typos i haven’t slept in 2 days
0:10 is that Jimmy Carr laughing?
holy shit
That is some ridiculously clean and beautiful sound, my dude! Right on.
DAVIE IS SOOO TALENTED !! THIS IS EPICO
Very impressive ... but what can you do with a "very impressive"?
Already done, kinda
I'm 53 years old. Been playing bass for 40+ years. All I will say is Davie504 has it going on. Excellent instrument dedication.
He's the prototype of a bassist. And he's virtuoso level without being a schmuck about it. Perfect bassist. As a drummer you couldn't get anything better. Good basics are important.
Pretty freakin' magic. Beautiful bass, too--
one of the best
Can you even do a stringless bass solo?
already done
Damn.
He did
Please tell me you went and bought a fretless bass just for this
Yes
+Davie504 I wish I could do the same
Nice.
+Davie504
Do You Speak Spanish?
quick question did you use regular nickel strings or flatwounds
LOVE this.
I love the harmonic slide!
Bro you got a guitarist to slap like on a bass video. Incredible job
Graveey Games so I’m a guitarist and I slapped like get out now you hit like not slap
@@thesonicexplorer75 you right my guy my bad
