i cannot breathe. that's the most, um, melodic? harmonic? stretched???? (i don't even know what to way). i guess it's just one of the absolute goodest slap solos i've ever heard. maybe THE best...
The bass sound, Shack, the concept of solo, the endurance and the fluidity, the longest and musically the best slap solo I can remember. Kai played fretless beautifully with that band also. Too bad he doesn't use that instrument anymore. His recent playing and the tone was such a disappointment. Obviously something happened to him. Don't know what but this no longer exist.
Awesome! I came looking for what I was lookin for and I found more... The middle of this bass solo is the beginning to a song called Babaluwaiye on the album Fiafiaga (Celebration)by Steve Smith and Vital Information.... For years I wanted to see who was playing that bass line.. Now all I have to do is track down that old Stanley Clarke instructional video with the smooth slappin and my bass quest is over..... or has it just begun? TY youtube people
@TheBrennil naja ich spiele bass und konnte an einem tag mit der gitarre von mweinem freund spielen,da konnte ich schon nen song spielen,kein esonders schwerer aber ein song halt.hat er mir beigebracht. sry für schlechte satzstellung habe nur eine hand frei denn ich spiele gerade e-bass.
What's that on his thumb? It's a blue band of... plastic? Maybe a cut-down thumbpick? Sure would come in handy, I get bloody if I try the Wooten upstrokes.
I was never a fan of headless basses but that particular one sounds incredible. Plus Kai's a excellent player. Awesome solo!! Have some of his work with Vital Information. I believe that bass is a clover model. They make great basses.
@@etpslick100 yes he started again the son Nico. I had a schack made by the father in the 90' a unique 5. Then another made by Nico 10 years ago. Both 36'' scale and with basstech pu.
@@etpslick100 i really dont think so. Is a small and amazing laboratory near Frankfurt. I visite it in 2011. He build and send instruments all around the world. But just contact Nico on his website and for sure he will deliver worldwide.
Flea is excellent in what hes been playing,which is much more simpler that what kai is been playing.Of course Kai,is even more technical,but it s better if we dont judge by solos,but by what they play in songs.anw that s just my opinion:O
bass und gitarre sind 2 unterschiedliche instrumente das kann man nicht vergleichen und man kann auch nicht sagen dass den meisten leuten unterbewusst der bass am besten gefällt das ist doch auch schwachsinn...aber der bass ist ein wichtiges instrument und lieder ohne bass wären nicht mehr die gleichen wie mit da würde etwas fehlen und das würde man auch merken ich würde sagen gitarre und bass sind beide gleich schwer eben auf ihre jeweilige art!
@TheBrennil Es kommt auf so viele Faktoren od Voraussetzungen daß die Aussage "Bass z:B sei leichter zu spielen als Gitarre " kann nur von Laien od. Musiker mit sehr wenig Basiswissen stammen. Jedes Instrument hat seine Eigenschaften die einem gefallen oder nicht. Du kannst ja Jahre lang Bass spielen, Gitarre endecken und erst dann feststellen dass du als Musiker viel besser mit deren Eigenschaften harmonierst und entsprechend schneller erlernen. So'n Vergleich sollte nie gemacht werden
Real Deal? Maybe, maybe not. But at 22 he's going at it. See myspace dot com/feraudhadrien and listen to Remeurs and Highjacked. Very Jaco-like. He's also on McLaughlin's Industrial Zen and touring US in September with JMcL and 4th Dimention.
Ohne einen guten Bass geht in der Musik überhaupt garnix. Der Bass ist das Salz in der Suppe. Also Respekt vor einem Bassist jeglicher Art. Was alle Musiker tun müssen ist üben. Keiner wird als Könner geboren, die Finger müssen erstmal lange lange lange bluten, denn einfach zu erlernen ist kein Instrument. Der Unterschied besteht am Ende nur darin, wie man seine Instrument beherrscht.
Kai's one of the unsung heroes of the bass. Not enough people are aware of his playing.
This guy was my mentor.
Never have I learned so much in 108 days
I second that!
I took lessons from him! Kai is amazing, and he has an knowledge of the mapping of the bass that makes him the best improvisationalist I know.
i cannot breathe. that's the most, um, melodic? harmonic? stretched???? (i don't even know what to way). i guess it's just one of the absolute goodest slap solos i've ever heard. maybe THE best...
Eins der besten Basssoli die ich kenne, genial. So gut wäre ich auch gern
this trio live at Royal Festival hall is a great album
wegen dieses videos hab ich mir heute einen bass zugelegt^^
Amazing.
Eckhardt is just an awesome yet evil sounding name! Awesome!
NICE, NICE, NICE, I´m a fan of JOHN MCLAUGHLIN TRIO and Kai is a finese bass player. His solos are so beautiful! UPLOAD MORE PLEASE!
SLAP HARMONY!!! WOOW
PERFECT TECNIQUE!!!
Saw him with Torsten De Winkel about a year ago. Just amazing.
How does this have 244k views but only 1.3k likes (0.5% of the views), and only 135 comments?
What the fuck! thats some of the most tastiest slapping i'v ever seen man!i don't think i want to play the bass after seeing that.
Fabelhaft! Chi und Creativity! Gefaellt mir sehr!
I would kill for a transcription of this solo. Absolutely incredible.
incredible skill level
Amazing and very tasteful!
Damn, Kai, beat that thing!
Muito feraaaaa !!!!!!
Amazon!!!! Is very good !!!! Congratulations in solo a bass

2:33-2:53...W...T...H... remember a buddy of mine in boston used to tell me about this dude back in the late 90s.
Excellent...

Where may this be today it’s 2023-24 is this still

Bro that’s nice composition
The bass sound, Shack, the concept of solo, the endurance and the fluidity, the longest and musically the best slap solo I can remember. Kai played fretless beautifully with that band also.

The bass in this video is not a Schak, but a Clover Slapper
exactly !!
very good idea :)
Formidable.

fucking rediculously talented
This monster bass player recorded and performed with Vital Information for a time. It's worth looking up and listening to.
that King tone doeee jesus
freaking great I can't wait to see him with garaj mahal at camp barefoot this year.
I've never been this impressed... about anything O.o how is he doing this???
also das ist wirkllich geil !
extrem guter Bassspieler
Auch wenn seine Bassgitarre bischen gewöhnungsbedürftig aussieht ;P
@babekcologne
Headlessbässe sind so geil^^
Wow this video was from 2007
WOW....
he plays grat , is really awesome , !=91 verry cool playing
SICCKKK!!
@TheBrennil

Since you recognize good playing, keep playing!
I feel something of Mark King in his style. Or is it the other way around?
What's that on his thumb? It's a blue band of... plastic? Maybe a cut-down thumbpick? Sure would come in handy, I get bloody if I try the Wooten upstrokes.
My point.
dang....
Los 5 mejores bajistas de la historia del Rock:
-Tony Levin
-Jim Kale
-Mel Schacher
-John Einwistle
-Kai Eckhardt
Tony Levin is so underrated! Especially with King Crimson. Fantastic stuff!
His thoughts the entire time: "Can't... HANDLE... ALL THIS FUNK"
I was never a fan of headless basses but that particular one sounds incredible. Plus Kai's a excellent player. Awesome solo!! Have some of his work with Vital Information. I believe that bass is a clover model. They make great basses.
No is a Schack carbon 5
@@stefanocosimetti2969 Yeah I found that out a month after that. That a great bass. He started making basses again.😌🎶👍🏾
@@etpslick100 yes he started again the son Nico.
I had a schack made by the father in the 90' a unique 5.
Then another made by Nico 10 years ago.
Both 36'' scale and with basstech pu.
@@stefanocosimetti2969 Wow! Cool! I’m trying to see if Schack has a U.S dealer.
@@etpslick100 i really dont think so. Is a small and amazing laboratory near Frankfurt. I visite it in 2011. He build and send instruments all around the world.

I believe i already posted on this video but i have to say it again this is some of the tastiest slapping i'v seen in a while.
Kai Eckhardt - Bass Solo
oh kai...
wie geil ich möcht meinen bass in die hand nehmen und spielen
i might be a student of his soon
Anyone know what bass he's playing? Love that tone.
clover slapper.
Flea is excellent in what hes been playing,which is much more simpler that what kai is been playing.Of course Kai,is even more technical,but it s better if we dont judge by solos,but by what they play in songs.anw that s just my opinion:O
Ele foi o baixista do Michael Jackson tbm?
@ stonetoaster Solche Gitarren/Bässe nennt man Headless Bässe/Gitarren
he look like stanley jordan!
bass und gitarre sind 2 unterschiedliche instrumente das kann man nicht vergleichen und man kann auch nicht sagen dass den meisten leuten unterbewusst der bass am besten gefällt das ist doch auch schwachsinn...aber der bass ist ein wichtiges instrument und lieder ohne bass wären nicht mehr die gleichen wie mit da würde etwas fehlen und das würde man auch merken
ich würde sagen gitarre und bass sind beide gleich schwer eben auf ihre jeweilige art!
What does Flea got on that?
0:38 , sounds like the intro bass from the song "scarred" by Dream Theater, which is a bass riff I love !
wasuuu hahahaha nag comment ^.^
@GenGemuese kann ich dir nur zustimmen
Is this a Schack bass?
dancing fingers
lol 😂 nice! If I’m not watching, I would assume 2 bassist, one is slapping a rhythm in background other one is doing some flamenco’ish chords.
epic face - epic face - epic face JIZZ IN MY PANTS xD
awesome solo is awesome btw
:-) Awesome... I think he looks a little like Obama.. that's a really nice bass... nice sounding... i am taking notes.. wow,,
it´s a gem! the impressionante whole show here: google videos: "john mclaughlin trio stuttgart 89"

I don't like the slap technique on the bass except when I listen to Victor Wooten, he is so musical even slapping
sag mal ist kai eckhardt iwie deutscher abstammung so halb oder warum der deutsche name? weißte das?
well if you like this then you should check out mark king
Bass solo..XD..BASS..^^....Hallo???..Allein die Überlegeung..^^..BAss solo^^
Where are the head and the tuners?!!
@lenny042,hättest du ahnung vom bass spielen würdest du nicht so eine scheiße schreiben!
ja also slap is schon was was gut is aber auch nciht so leicht^^ aber ich ahbs problem ich hab große hände und da is bass etwas leichter find ich
This might had already been asked. what kind of bass is that?
"Slapper" from German bass builder Clover.
@@michelbrebsom9846 12 years later. Thank you very much!
wtf happened @2:30 O_O
What bass is that ? :)
"Slapper" from German bass builder Clover.
wow,this is really good!!
but on the other hand,it shows that Victor Loerincz is playing from an other galaxie....
was meinst du mit dem scheiß kommi?
ich spiel gitarre und ich ahb mir en bass geauft und ich sag einfach bass is einfacher als gitarre
P.S. aber mir macht beides spass
