    Man, you are the most musical bassist I've ever heard! You are amazing! Like almost everyone, I have met you from Davie's channel. He is a show man, but you Charles, you really has the true soul that makes few musicians being memorable! I Have heard a lot of incredible bass players over the internet, but none of them, in my opinion, is able to play with the sensibility you do! Congratulations, I've become your fan!

    Charles, I've been a bass player for 20some years,not much of a tapper,or double thumber none of that fancy stuff,more a solid rythmic player.YOU MY friend are in my top 5 favorite bass players,(sorry Cliff,Rob,and Geezer got some years on you,and Davie introduced you to me ) I'm still rattling in my head how you put an album out in 1984, but that's not a big deal,you have SO much power in your fingers and an understanding for music that enables you to translate your emotions on a bass,if in a thousand years your music is what was found by future civilizations,I'd be ok with knowing it was you the respresented what a bass player from my day was,ONE DAY YOU WILL BE COMPARED TO THE LIKES OF BEETHOVEN
    It'd be cool if you did some tutorial vids of your technique and how you approach making your compositions to show old timers like me some new tricks!

    I'm a thrash metal guitarist (Iron Maiden initial inspired then discovered Megadeth) but I started out on bass, (inspired by Billy Sheehan, Geddy Lee, Steve Harris and JPJ) and I don't think I am overstretching to say you are even more technical than Billy and MUCH more melodic. I can't believe you're not a famous superstar because you, without a doubt, have the talent to be. You make me wish I kept playing bass too. You're THAT inspiring and so modest too.
