The work changing between pick and fingerstyle it's something i really love of this man. For those of the "Pick vs Fingerstyle" eternal battle.... Why not both? I've learned so much from mr. Green, really an amazing musician.
Super excited for this! Edit: Absolutely love how this was shot, and that Parallax tone is SO good (any chance that preset might be made available...?) Can't wait to see this live early next year! (Also that absolute bridge cable for the low F# string is hilarious 😂)
I thiiiiink I started with the Bass Riffs preset (or something like that) and tweaked from there. I believe it was a Forrester Savell preset. I remember I had to boost the highs quite the bit, 'cause the series pickup setting on the Afterburner is quite dark tonally. Always enjoy watching your videos, Chris!
I just find myself listening to this at least once every week for a month now. Not just because I love the track, I just can't resist the suggestion when I see it, and UA-cam shows it to me quite often.
gotta say those Dingwall basses are absolute filth. If i was still playing they'd be on my list. I generally don't like the look of modern basses but Dingwalls are just really pretty to look at and the tones are incredible.
This is fantastic. Too bad the mix on the album doesn't put the bass a little more prominent so we can't hear the subtleties of the the bass tone and pedal effects.
Haken uploading this masterpiece of a video has made my whole day, week, month, even year. I love you guys so much!!! Also I just realized he has the iconic Conner swoop back!! Yesssss!!!!
I don't think it's fair that you can play the bass this good, and at the same time sport that cool hairstyle and awesome beard work. Pick one to be not that good at, at least! Just kidding! Keep being awesome. I hope I can see you all live again soon, guys! Take care!
¡Esto es una Maravilla! Absolutely Fantastic! Thanks Conner for sharing this enormous moment. I haven´t realized how great is your performance in this specific song, although I have it with 5 stars on my list, but seeing you playing is another dimension. So gratefull.
Wow, great video! Listened to this song before and never picked up on that. Although my favorite moment like this is in the Visions album, and would love to see you discuss it. At 2:44 in Premonition, a song with no lyrics plays a cool little rythem, that later resurfaces at the end of the album in the lyrics of Visions at 15:23.
Yo soy cantante, y bajista empírico, y admiro personalmente de cada banda que conozco a mis respectivos homólogos, por lo que cuando comencé a seguir a Haken mis miembros favoritos inmediatamente fueron Ross Jennings en la voz y Conner Green en el bajo... escuchar la fuerza y agilidad en esta canción me lleva a tener muchos sentimientos.
Carousel was my fave song of 2020, but Strain quickly became a close 2nd. The fact that they follow each other on Virus had me out in the car a lot just so I could boost the sound AND get the impact of both whilst cruisin'. And looking unnecessarily ecstatic.
My absolute favourite song of them since release. But doesnt he play it differently in the song at 09:52. He hits multiple notes here while on the record it sounds like he only hits the accents?
@@evilasiobjr it looks like there are rumors of him leaving. Not sure entirely, but it sounds like people are thinking it because of his lack of presence in the V/V combo. I’m hoping this isn’t true and he comes back in with a vengeance. Something like Aquarius. They wouldn’t be the same without him :(
Oh, he was present in vector, remember him talking about the matrixbrute and wanting to sound as analog. He was removed from Hakens company in 2020 and has been ignored by the band for a full year
@@connergreen3421 Nickel? NOOOOOO!! I've developed a nickel allergy, so I've been switching all my basses to stainless or coated strings 🙄💩🤣 Thank you so much for the reply!!
@@guitfidle Oh noooooo! Luckily, Dingwall stainless strings are fantastic too. Plus, they have slightly less tension in the lower strings, so you can get some more growl if so desired. Good luck with the search!
@@connergreen3421 oh hey, I didn't know they made stainless! I wonder if those would fit on my BTB though.... Time for a little research. Thanks Conner!!
@@connergreen3421 have you ever tried thumb picks? I've done a couple songs where I wanted the attack of a pick on parts, but used fingers for the rest. I found a thumb pick worked really well for this- it was out of the way enough that I could still use my thumb to anchor against the pickup if I wanted. Much easier than getting a pick in and out of your fingers.
ive always wondered how these videos are made, theres no in-ears, so is the song just playing out loud and does the bass have a wireless connection with the computer just out there in the park
Interesting choice in guitar picks. If I'm not mistaken, he's using a Dunlop Tortex 0.60mm pick (the orange one). Pretty thin for such thick bass strings. A strategic choice?
Now do Roundabout!
DM me for collab!
@@connergreen3421 You guys should totally form a band!
@@FacePomagranate haha
@@FacePomagranate hahaeaheuhaaeheuheahha
I support this thought!
The fact, that he plays it while sitting on a carousel makes it so much better
I laughed more and harder at this fact than I'd like to admit...
this comment is so good I can't like it🙃
8:28 had me rolling. funny stuff
7:18 Still one of my favorite moments of the album
That bit is so Leprous-ish, love it !

Exactly. It's an old school mentality. Gotta respect all camps, 1 finger, 2, 3 fingers, thumping, pick, all are welcome
The finger only elitist are insufferable. Let people play the bass how ever they choose to play it, there are no rules.
Conner is a great player and a really nice person. Excited to watch this
Super excited for this!

Seen your bass covers dude. You're absolutely killing it, amazing work!
@@MadMatty01 Thanks very much!

I don't think I've seen anything as satisfying as that hair flip at 3:02. It just goes back to looking perfect
that tone!
Such excellent distortion from an unplugged instrument... I guess tone really is in the hands.
In the fingers, baby.
Can't tell if ironic or just a bass player
@@ileutur6863 Can't tell if confused or just a guitarist
@@connergreen3421 That’s what she said.
Oh my God how much I missed an Haken video. Can't wait to experience this one live next year!
That might be the most beautiful bass guitar I’ve ever seen…and the tone matched its looks
I love how much power and depth the bass gives this song. Carousel has such an intense and epic energy all around!
we need more virus playthroughs

Mommy that weird guitar guy is at the playground again
I love how he plays the bass he´s so great
Finally, a band that doesn't bury its bassist in the mix
4:59 totally didn't realize that part was tremolo picked! Sounds insane
This is fantastic. Too bad the mix on the album doesn't put the bass a little more prominent so we can't hear the subtleties of the the bass tone and pedal effects.
Greatest band of all time.
That is the sickest bass tone I’ve ever heard.

This has been like the best thing I've heard this year! I love this song so much and the bass just kicks so hard on it's own!!!
8:30 WOW!
Everything about that Dingy is an eyegasm lol. Fuckin sick playthrough!
Chekhov's Carousel - If there's a carousel in the video, at some point it has to spin.
can't wait to see you again in february
I'm just here for the super bass heavy audio mix.
I had fun listening/watching!
This is so good. So good.
I wish I could play like that.
Conner, you can make playthrough of "The Strain" too :)
Great track! So underrated.

2:02 same note but big change between open and fretted tone.
New respect and appreciation for you Connor
That bass tone is so amazing. Great video. Man I need to practice ...
The legend!!!
Sexy bass tone !!! Great playing too!
Waiting for a live show guys!
Brilliant playing, Conner! 👏👏👏

Hell yeah, my favorite from Virus
Those fingers better be getting special treatment! Thanks for sharing. I love Haken so much.
Holy cow with that bass tone !
Thanks for making the play through of this song, I absolutely love the song!

that bit at 6:06 is so awesome sounding
So "simple" by their standards, but it's like THE riff I'm waiting for when listening to this song!
Wowee!
Can't wait...
Awesome playthrough and dat tone! One of my favourite tunes from Virus
The goat!
It's a well known fact, the power of Bass comes directly from the beard
John Myung has left the chat.
It's a direct correlation
Coming with the pick. Thank you
Awesome Conor!
You’re a Beast!!!
Can’t wait for Manchester.
You guys are simply the Fookin Dogs Swingers🤘
This song one of the best of haken
That tone is so filthy I literally had to go get new underpants
I'm looking forward
Nice Red Wing boots. Nice playing too 🙂
Expected Carousel, and the first playground element we see in this video is a swing. Even two of them!
Welcome to the fam, bro! Dingwall is fantastic
He's such a great player!
Perfect tone n bass line combination.
Great playthrough!
OMG that fricking tone!!
Missed you guys
This video is so amazing, the tone, the playing. Connor is just one of the best modern progressive bass players around.
Hey Conner!
Please share tips to achieve this kind of a sound! I literally worship that gnarly tone! 💪🤘
I'd recommend the Neural DSP Parallax plug-in and a thin pick!
Magia pura 🤩🤩🤩 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This should be pretty awesome!
Looking forward to tour, whose gonna play keys? Can't wait to see.
Where the rumors about Diego true?
What?? What happened to Diego?? :(
What happened?? 😧

Oh man, that sounds so good!! Thanks for a great playthrough! Just curious, what strings are you using on there?
Thank ya! I'm using the Dingwall nickel strings here (with a .170 for the low F# string).

Thanx for this! The bass should always be this prominent in the mix! Sooooooo miss seeing Haken live.... soon.............soon...........
What's Conner's tuning on this instrument-looks like maybe: F# - B - D - A - D - G? Anyone have any insight? Thanks!
It's actually pretty decent. I just have to take off points for spelling the name incorrectly. 7/10
...just kidding, I love Haken!
Yay! More of these please!
One of my favourite bands, love you!!
Awesome!!
Excellent!
I can't decide who is sexier in this vid- Conner, or that beautiful bass guitar! 😍
No, it's the carousel 😍
@@szymonkosowski1154 😂
EXCELLENTISSIME !!!
Excited for this. Amazing playing. Love the moments between playing with a pick or fingers
Thanks for that playthrough ! Loving it ! Bass tapping, yeah !
So dope!
Thank you god
That was amazing to watch! Thanks for sharing!
What a great video 😍
nice job..
Imagine fucking up at 9:45 ... Oh the anguish of studio recording...
I don't know what's more excellent, Conner's bass playing, or his beard. So we will just say "Excellence all around!"
That was amazing
This comes in with almost perfect timing! 26min left!

this lad's a freaking monster
Yeaaaah booooi
insane
whats the tuning on the bass because it looks like yhe low string is thicker than a typical b string
