Hello B., thank you very much for your kind words, this encourages me to keep playing! Cheers from Spain =D
Me da tremenda nostalgia, este video lo solía escuchar cuando comenzaba a tocar el bajo eléctrico. Coincido con otros comentarios, esto debería de tener muchas más visitas y más suscriptores
Yeah I was checking them out. Definitely on my shopping list. Another cool thing I tried once was a Boss volume pedal on my fretless bass. Wow it was fun! A bit tricky getting the hang of it but it creates almost like a cello or violin sound especially playing chords. I suppose it’s a step up from what was called “violining “ just using the volume control but I struggled because my hands are small. But yeah amazing sound. Reminds me of Jewish violin or Middle Eastern violin. ✨♥️
A thing I love about your bass playing is that you are not merely piddling around on an ego trip like so many, instead you are playing beautiful pieces of music not to impress just for the sake of it but because you are incredibly gifted you are creative and you have taken bass guitar playing to a whole new level. Bass is a wonderful instrument whether it’s simply playing straight eights and playing it well with the drums and band or really doing something unusual and different. It’s a great instrument and not to be underestimated. Loving your bass playing. Such beautiful pieces of music and played with such precision and more than anything you can feel every note! Thanks for sharing 🕊
You have inspired me. I just bought a Spector 5 string fretless that I'm going to convert to EADGC and I'm getting back into fretless big time after not playing one for a while. I downloaded "Scars" and I am obsessed with your music in much the same way that I have been with Michael Manring. Thank you!
Been using an e-bow with my fretless for a while now . Love how it emulates the sound of a Cello when I play chamber music with my wife playing the harp !
There is a lot of gimmickry on bass guitar. A lot of exploration of what can be done on a bass by expanding technique. I have heard so much and have gotten tired with, what is sometimes amazing, but outside the role of bass that I love the most. The E Bow is exceptional, and this video by JRP is not just another "exciting" show off. It is a beautiful piece of music that exists as a haunting emotion, and is then translated through the music. It takes me to my soul. That's why I play bass. I ordered an E Bow today because of the video. I hope to find my own soulful magic. Thanks JRP!!

Hello Charlie Thanks so much for your kind words, I´m very glad you liked the song... and I hope you enjoy your new E-bow! Cheers =D
Hola Jesús, lo siento para mí español porque estoy aprendiendo pero yo amo tu canción. ¡Es el mejor canción de fretless bass yo sé! ¡Fantástico trabajo!
You are the chief of all sufis. Electric bass with full emotional subtlety.. Wonderful. Elegant, symphonic, heartfelt. I was googling ebow stuff, and this has inspired me to pick up my bass with a more opened mind. Thank you.

Bonjour Jesus Rico ! Merci pour cette musique envoutante, à la frontière de la réalité et du mystique ... C'est vraiment très beau bien que de simples mots ne soient pas suffisants pour traduire une telle émotion à vous écouter jouer ... De plus la table de votre basse en érable coti est magnifique ... le bois raconte lui aussi une histoire qu'il faut savoir écouter ! Bien cordialement, Doumé

Thank you very much! Cheers
Downloaded (purchased) the album and have listened to it every day (no joke) since I did and that was on July 29th (2 months ago). It is the most mesmerizing bass I have ever heard (and I play a fretless bass). Reminds me a little of Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois, but it goes beyond them. (Understand that "beyond" is not comparatively better or worse, just a style that is so unique.)
Viejo, mereces ser muy reconocido! Nunca dejes de tocar! Eres muy único, te lo digo de un bajista a otro, tu estilo me fascinó ojalá yo pudiera hacer algo así... Me recordó a Buckethead

Michael Manring would be proud, I'm guessing he's a major influence. This sounds so hypnotic it's incredible.
Hello Moose75528
Yes, Mr. Manring is the man!! xD
Thank you very much for watching mate
Cheers!
a fretless player that doesn't mimic Jaco, I love your style.
And we know Michael was taught by Jaco ;]

Yup, that's some sweet bassiness to be sure! I love the dual ebow providing a low drone and a melodic string! Very crafty!
Okey i need to get an ebow now. I'm in love with that sound.
Get one!
Cheers mate =D

Jesus, that is some of those most beautiful sounding stuff ever. PROPS
Many thanks for playing this masterpiece Rico
Hola Jesús, lo siento para mí español porque estoy aprendiendo pero yo amo tu canción. ¡Es el mejor canción de fretless bass yo sé! ¡Fantástico trabajo!
C'est juste magnifique! On dirait du Duduk au début. C'est tellement bien émulé.
3 years later and I still find myself back at this amazing video and song. ❤
Maybe it's your name, maybe the amazing tune, but it really feels like taking a walk in the Getsemane. So evocative yet oneiric. Spectacular.
Still come back and watch this. So awesome. The beginning sounds so Native American love it.
Muy bonita composición y sonido... Felicidades
Muchísimas gracias Pablo!
Saludos =D
A musical journey to be sure. Thank you. Beautiful bass and playing
Nice. Reminds me of the ambient side of Bowie's Low album.
EXQUISITE!!!! I took my EBOW out of its box again.....Thank you!
Sumptious! Slack-jawed and nigh driven to tears...
Wow that is the most beautiful sound I have ever heard from a bass guitar
+fezziemin
Thank you very much for watching!
Cheers
the beginning with the e-bow really reminds me of the Duduk at the beginning of 'Love is All' by Yanni. Amazing!
There is nothing quite like falling asleep to this my brother 🙏.
