Great!
Bass industry will ban you because nobody buys basses anymore...
Weird. Still sounds like a bass guitar. Maybe it's not the strings, but it's you.
It really just comes down to the way you move your head when you're playing.
Do you use nitro strings
Careful Charles, if your technique keeps improving at this rate you’ll tear a hole in the bass-time continuum. Magnifico!
The perfect dad joke for this channel
We must call davie to fix that said hole B)
Sorry, wrong hole again
yeet
Would we call it a bass-hole or a b-hole for short?
Strings don't play by themselves.
I play the flute. I remember a time when I complained about my student flute because I couldn't play a difficult passage. My teacher took it out of my hand and played the passage perfectly and said to me: "It's not the flute. It's time and dedication."
sounds like an amazing teacher
@@maxrice6990 hopefully he cleaned that flute...
Pre covid story for sure
The skin flute ?!
True… but also student models can be absolute trash
I absolutely love his videos. I've been a rock drummer all my 66 years and always paid attention to basslines and always admired people that could step outside the stereotypical function of their instrument, but he's freaking unbelievable on the base, phenomenal👍👍👍👏👏👏
BASS, Not BASE.....LOL!
@@kennethhoy6556 Guilty!!!👍
Behs, not BASS@@kennethhoy6556
Dude's on the level of Flea and Les Claypool for sure.
The drums is the heartbeat of the band. The bass is the pulse coursing through the veins of rest of the band. Bass is the foundation of all rhythm and groove.
Perhaps I just haven't heard enough bassists, so I can't say it one of the best pieces I've heard. It's THE best piece I've ever heard. Spectacular.
what you just said only makes sense to a stroke victim
@@thedarkness125 Did it make sense to you?
Check out Charles Mingus to hear the GOAT
@@quemadesOK, doing that. Trad jazz is listenable for my ears, experimental, not so much. Don't have the appreciation for that. But I'm gonna give it some time, cheers.
This is some of the finest bass playing I have ever heard. I've been into rock, blues, r&b, funk and jazz for over 50 years and this guy is among the very best bass players ever.
No doubt. You've got 20 years on me, but I concur! It's no hyperbole.
I have to agree!
Absolutely true!
It’s so good, it makes me doubt it was all one take. This could easily be mixed together from the best of a bunch of attempts.
It's the strings man, not him. Lol, this dude gets down!
Nice strings and all, but I think this guy's talent is what we're all really marveling at
Yeah, on God.
💯
Хорошая игра, но это не бас гитара!
These string will make anyone sounds like this
Yeah, I could still make these strings sound trash.
Finally, something to which the word "fantastic" can be truly applied. Beyond belief! Fabulous!! You use the gift extremely well. THank you, Charles.
Has to be one of the best bass solos ever played! Absolutely astonishingly tight and accomplished! Wow!!!!!
Listen to better music.
@@redrick8900 my fart is better than his bass solo, go listen to it
agree
That wasn’t a solo dude it was a groove
They should play this in elevators and doctors' offices.
when I grow up, I want to be like Charles. The thing is, I'm 42 already
the body grow faster than the mind hahaha
42 is when I started. Ha, Ha! And when I grow up....
And I'm 50, the great thing is that you can live to a hundred and still play, so yeah, looking at it that way yeahhh...
You are still going to grow man. Take your step for what you want to be. Good luck
Ale nie widać po Panu, Panie redaktorze, ja bym jedynie dał 41.
You don't need gold strings to sound great Charles, you are incredible just by yourself.
Right you could give him a hundred dollar bass and a practice amp and he would still come out with some magic
True
Period
You don't need Gold strings but Gold strings are awesome. Let's see what else you don't need in life. Gold jewelry. An expensive car. A mansion. But you want them because they're awesome.
Don't deny it.
gold hands are better than gold strings ^^
This guy is just unbelievable. Congrats...we all love you brother.
I have jammed with a lot of different people over the last 45 50 years. Played in bands work and recording studios with some insanely good bass players. This guy is on another level. That's all I can say I mean holy crap...
I am under the impression that they were standard bass strings that turned to gold after you played them. Incredibly awesome playing as usual!
Love this!
He has lv.99 alchemist/bard fingers.
@@NubsWithGuns I think he's implying that Charles has the Midas touch!
Really has that Midas touch.
@@horusfalcon dang. Great post.
Actually the correct title would be “I sound great and these gold strings are an added bonus!” Love playing your bass jams on my commute to uni🤟🏽
Edit: WOW This is a crazy amount of likes! True testament to the knowledge and strength of Charles's fanbase.
Haha thanks!
@@CharlesBerthoud charles i have a question, how are u so cool bruh, seriously i always wondered, u made me wanna learn bass bro 😎
For real
He could string a bass with noodles and make it sound good
Jesus loves you all 😊
This would earn a smile and a nod from any of the great bassists I've ever heard. Stanley Clarke would take a real liking to this. Fantastic playing, sir. Listening to that was a treat.
Along with Victor Wooten, Bootsy Collins & Marcus Miller to name a few.....!
The resonance of the strings and the playing might be one of the most fantastic things I'VE EVER SEEN! Unreal. What a talent!
I’ve been playing bass for 20 years and my jaw is on the floor right now. The legato and sheer accentuation of the notes was absolutely incredible. That tone was also unbelievable.
I have no idea what that means but this shit goes hard
@@glockroach5731 That is what it means in music speak
I've been playing bass for about 15 years now and I'll be honest, most of this is psychosomatic. you could get the exact same sound with just about any type of string except for rubber.
@@SeanWinters the real point of the gold-plated strings isn't tone, it's longevity. The core is still a tough metal like steel, but the gold outside makes for great corrosion resistance
i played guitar for more than 20 years too ... i am never impressed easily ... this one makes me want to quit playing
Sir, these strings might be expensive but You could stretch a rubber band over a common garden stick and still sound better than anything I could ever hope to achieve. You are truly a master.
I smell a challenge brewing.
@@Write-Stuff I hope so
His 'Zero String Bass Solo' was legit!
Already played on shoelaces :D
That fast walk down the strings at 1:37 was insane
Real!
Playing the melody and rhytm
at the same time
on 1 instrument is pure talent!!!
He plays bass like Stanley Jordan plays guitar.
And most likely bloody hard work to get to this ability
He plays the bass like people play the piano. Melody in right hand, rhythm in left hand on piano. Same for him on bass. Amazing
It's not about talent. Je may be gifted, but this counts just 20%
The rest of 80% is looong and hard practice! 💪🏼
Charles you rock!
An incredible bass talent for sure. But don't discount the possibility of some overdubbing going on here.
bro, i don't care how good those strings sound on their own. they are NOT where the magic lies. it's in you. well done. i could listen to you all day and i'm not even a bassist!
Love. Awesome 👍😎
Its all in the strings.... I can do this,but I don't have those strings.... 😬
@@chicofromph33nix64 sure buddy
No but once someone reaches this level, the finer details really stand out. Watch Vinheteiro (sic) video on how more and more expensive pianos sound. There's a major difference when a master plays a master instrument than some 50 dollar piece of junk.
@@TheUltimateWord the diminishing returns are higher @ the really expensive stuff. of course theres a huge difference between real cheapest of the cheap and a reputable brand, but say compare a $1000 guitar to a $5000 guitar, you will notice less.

Outstanding performance!
1:26 to 1:40 this man is playing a bass line, rhythm line and lead on one instrument with but two human hands. Bruh im just gona sell all my stuff, that was incredible.
Well technically the lead was part of the rhythm line and the bass was double 8vb. That being said, holy moly this guy is insane.
And he plays the drums too!

Amazing groove and accurately executed. The woodshed pays off every time.
I had no idea sounds like this could be produced from a bass guitar.
It is an absolute pleasure watching and listening to you play.
I have never enjoyed bass solos. I just listened to this one three times in a row. There are musical colors here I didn't know existed. Incredible.
That's because the typical bass player isn't exactly pushing the instrument at this level. Sadly there are too many bass players that don't go outside keeping a simple bassline going. It works, and it gives the rest of the band room, but damn when you meet one that can let it rip... I've played with a few players like this, it is impressive and frightening at the same time.
sacrilege to a BTBAM fan
when someone good plays I don't care if its hate metal, I just soak it in :P
It is not exactly a solo, he is doing the melody and bassline at the same time that's why it works so well, a typical solo would be the melody only
I AGREE WHOLE HEARTEDLY 👍🎸👏
I... Without hesitation would spend my hard earned dollars on an album of all your most awesome riffs and tracks... This is absolute art, you're a one man band.
I won't give this a thumbs down. But you're kind of telling everybody that two plus two equals four.
Wow,this kid is a young master. Respect is all I have for you . Never stop playing. You totally rule that bass guitar, golden strings or not.
This guy is beyond incredible. I actually had tears well up suddenly unexpected. A spontaneous reaction to the absolute beauty of this guy's talent. I am overwhelmed!!!!
I can say for sure that the gold strings aren't what makes this sound great.
but they also sound nice
Great playing and very nice song!

He plays so well the background drums aren’t even needed. This totally rocked 😎
I don't listen to nearly enough electric bass to know what the real difference is between gold and regular strings, but this sounds incredible and the bass looks dope.
Been listening to a lot of it for the past few weeks and some of them I genuinely can't tell the difference
Edit: wait it sounds cleaner and less compressed I think
As someone who plays guitar/bass and listen to to videos like these a lot, I can tell you there is no tangible difference. All differences you may hear are just different playing styles/amp settings, not the strings making a difference. Saying standard bass strings and gold strings sound different is the same notion as saying different gauge strings sound different. There might be a super minute difference but in the end, it’s irrelevant. The only thing that makes bass strings sound different is the brand and depending on if the strings are flat wounds or round wounds. Even then, if you get super cheap strings, there isn’t a huge difference but it’s still noticeable. The main difference is that cheap strings never stay in tune and might be harder to play with.
Wrong
@@vihaanpatel667 can you elaborate on that?
@@owenklein1917 That's not quite correct. Gauge will MASSIVELY change your tone, as even though you may be in the same frequency with your "loudest" wavelengths, the overtones and string vibrations are 100 percent not the same. I have many different guitars, each with different gauges, and some with different string materials. They all do have differences, and while some are more obvious than others, there are many different factors that affect your sound. I haven't looked into these specific strings, but I'd imagine that if they're using gold, it's for the corrosion resistance (allowing the strings to last longer) more than anything.
A golden string for a golden artist. Great work man!
Thanks!
@@CharlesBerthoud Cheers!
Brilliant! Absolutely love this. Well done dude.!!
This playing is great to watch and it does sound amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed watch you play.
The best thing is to actually see how much fun he has playing, also the fact that he is ridiculously good at playing bass ... Almost as if he had made a pact with some higher deity... And still is so chill and seems fun to hang out with 🙏🏻

@@stevepayne4989 YES! That's what it was but I couldn't place it! The song is "Into the Wilderness."
That was amazing ! I've never heard anyone play a bass that well. It could have been lead. I never thought I could sit and listen to bass alone and realy enjoy it this much. Thanks, you're great .
So. Much. Yes! Thank you for sharing!
Wow. This was one of the better bass solo's I've ever heard. Content like this is the one thing that makes UA-cam still worth clicking on.
Wow! ❤
Really? I hate content like this, UA-cam was for homemade amateur videos. Not for professionally produced music with high end production, on a channel with an editor, to clip together something that is sold as, ‘some guy sitting in his room playing an instrument’ there is actually plenty of videos of people sitting in there room playing an instrument, but you’d probably say it sucks because it doesn’t have people producing and editing every phase of it it, like a TV show
@@DuarkiCan't decide if you're genuine or not. Could be sarcasm but it doesn't quite fit that hole for me..... Go on, fess up....
@@Colstah
no I’m being quite serious. if I wana hear amateur original content , I’ll listen to someone that recorded with a room mic.
not someone who got told to make a short, meme, original or cover, based on the weeks analytics. That then got a producer to polish, and then had the footage sent to the video editor to clip it together, that then came back to the sound engineer, to master the final video edit. to have it released as. ‘dude in his room playing bass sounds and looks like this’
it has more production then MTV shows had 25 years ago. it’s a circus act, it’s as impressive as swallowing a sword while juggling fire. it’s as far removed from good music as a 6month beginner playing smoke on the water is. it sounds like programmed video game crap. ur guna blast this in ur car? ur going to put it on to enjoy in ur home? fuck no ur not, and u know it, because it’s not music. it’s an act.
@@Duarki OK, each to his own, I guess. I couldn't help being impressed with the skill of the player, in all aspects, broadcast quality or not.....
That bass has sure got some bling, but your playing has got a million times more wow factor than any bling ever could!

Been a guitarist for 30+ years, but your playing make me want to learn bass.
Learn it, no one's stopping you.
I was first a guitarist, then also learned up bass. Now I can play both good.
I think it should be easier for you, since you already have set hands on a guitar, bass is kinda similar.
Yeah, you'll have an advantage on the fretboard from playing guitar. pretty much just the plucking hand to focus on. Go for it! bass is the best

One of the best sounds that i ever experienced!! Really good taste bro...

Been playing bass for some 20 years myself and watching your skills makes me feel like an absolute novice 😂
How many hours?
🚫 No, he's actually just a beginner bassist who's sloppily screwing around with the instrument. But these super expensive strings compensate for sloppy, noobish play, and make you sound like a freaking top notch pro! That is his whole point for making this video after all!

just started playing bass in like february and im just marvelling at how you can play so quickly but so cleanly. you and victor wooten are definitely my biggest inspirations and although im late to the game im making quite a bit of progress fairly quickly. gonna tackle classical thump for like the next three months lol. keep being upsettingly good at bass charles, it fuels the fire in us all who are lucky enough to witness it

Unlike many "monsters" of the bass guitar, you, Charles, can be listened to for HOURS non-stop. You are subtle and varied! Bravo! Thanks
I guess this seals the deal. Charles Berthoud is now my all time favorite bassist. I love Victor, but CB took what Wooten did for the bass, perfected it, then added his own flair. The guy could play literally anything, and could hang with literally anyone on the bass. And the tone is pretty much perfection.
I'd not compare. But he's fantastic.

These strings were standard color until Charles started practicing. They changed gradually over 50 playthroughs of this piece. Our top scientistians are baffled.
The secret to alchemy is tapping.
After seeing this, I'm pretty sure this is one of the best bass solo pieces of music ever written and performed in history!

Why doesn’t Charles release his unique solos on things like Spotify? I don’t know about you guys but I’d sure as hell listen to them.
Because spotify pays artists crap.
I'd wager a bet he makes more per view on UA-cam than he would per listen on Spotify. Not to mention it keeps people interested in his channel so they come back for sponsored videos. Spotify pays... poorly. Still, once he's built up a library large enough for his liking, I would expect to see more ways to listen to his stuff.
Yeah, you guys are both right. Artists do get payed shit on spotify. However, it would be nice to listen to his music while working or in the car or something. But I do understand they get paid crap on stuff like that. And you guys are right, he gets paid alot more on UA-cam.
He probably gets paid crap on UA-cam too. Might as well diversify

@charlseberhoud you play rythm and melody on the bass guitar with a great talent and professionalism. I am enjoying the groove you are creating on that metal instrument. Keep playing bro
Sounds like they're actually great, they sound way clearer.
I bet they wear out super quick or lose their chime rather quick. Gold is so soft that you can bend it with your fingers, I can't imagine it'd hold up well against nickel or stainless steel frets for long.
@@DudeMcGuybro I looked it up and the strings are gold plated with a steel core, so I'm not sure exactly how big of a role the gold actually plays in the acoustics but I would think there isn't a significant difference in how long they last compared to regular strings. I feel like the bass sounds smoother in the vid but I'm not sure if that's just my imagination or just the way he is playing.
@@danshakuimo It is, indeed, gold plated, but it stills have an effect on the sound. One of the representative of Optima Strings (the company) is a music student at my school and I had the chance to try some of the guitar strings.
There is a difference between the strings I used before and these ones. (A big part of it is because of the different resonance the materials have)
Also, it is perfect for people who have some allergies with nikel and chrome, gold is hypoallergenic.
