Glen, probably frothing at the mouth wishing someone like this would walk into his studio... Or at least someone who would learn their parts before hand instead of wasting his time.
Honestly, im blown away. I didnt think that my favorote song could be made better. The song sounds MUCH better with the bass higher in the mix. Wow. I just compared the audio here to the song on the album and the bass is almost inaudible in some parts of the song. You would never have known that these incredible lines existed if not for this video. Well done Robin. Keep on being one of the best bass players out there
It would be nice to know how much influence Malone had on Robin - both phenomenal players :) juts curious cause that opening pattern sounds inspired from The Veil Of Maya.
Everything about this song is incredible. As expected, on the album Robin's ghost notes are buried underneath the rest of the instruments, so I love hearing them here. Definitely in the top 3 Exivious tracks for me.
Google is your friend. That, and the "Players" page on the Wyn guitars website says the following: "He plays a Wyn Ziricote 5 string fretless equiped with Nordstrand Dual Coils and a Graphtech Piezo."
Anyone know what sort of effects/processors are being used here? Really love how mellow the B string is compared to the "twangyness" of the higher strings.
David Krider I have the same doubt, I think it's the octavation of those strings. They are very near to the wood and produce such "wahwn" sound when played far from the bridge. May be, may be not just Robin knows...
Some of it may be down to the string gauges, a LOT of it's down to the touch, a considerable amount are the pick-ups, and the on-board active EQ / tone controls might affect things considerably as well... And all that's "only" up until the bass guitar's output jack :P
Gotta be - roundwounds will chew through a wooden fretboard in no time. Not to mention they're that much brighter in sound, which some might argue would "go against the point".

Beautiful playing! Bravo, sir!

SpectreSoundStudios

Thank you
You gotta feature the new Our Oceans song on your channel, Glenn
Oh my gosh! Glenn fucking Fricker praising a BASS PLAYER! I've seen it all now...!
I love that Jaco/Sean malone fretless bass tone, very nice warm sound
Aye some love for Sean Malone
Rip Sean Malone
Rip Both
I really miss the 2009 Exivious...this album is a perfect mix of what i like
You're not alone! I miss it too!

I really wish Exivious wouldn't have ended. I discovered them too late. They had already broken up when I discovered them. Robin is SUCH A BEAST!
great bass great tone great song great bald playing
Guillermo Lescano lol he is bald also
@@IshaiTamir bald? Or "fretless"?
Bold or bald. It's both!
I THINK I'M GOIIING BALD
Impeccable!
Something I revisit over and over again. Absolutely gorgeous!
I am very fan D'EXIVIOUS dommage que l'ont n'ait plus de nouvelles de se super groupe génial.
This is so amazing I watched it 3x in a row. Tone, phrasing, accuracy - this is so next-level. Respect.
Fellow bassist and active performer here wanting to say your playing is inspiring. Thanks for ripping it up good sir!
Such beautiful tone 12/10.
Cynic-Focus influence. Really good!
Well Robin and Tymon did play in Cynic for a bit, maybe it rubbed off on them ;)
And Portal
BassHeadJazz have you checked their 2001 demo?
That's why I liked it when I first heard this album and specially this song! it reminded me of the Focus Album
OUTSTANDING!!! One of my favourite bass tone ever..
I like this metal progresive really a good job congratulations !!!!!!!!!!!
That just might be the coolest bass I've ever seen
Great playing and technique, all of the video was amazing, the face in the end was like WTF?? but the rest of it was great!
Oh my lord i want that bass..
And those hands.
i would like this a million times if i could. amazing.
Awesome!!!

Amazing! Gained a tupiniquim fan of Brazil!
Awesome tone!

So good, reminded me of Sean Malone from Cynic

This guy is talented beyond belief.
Wow! Great Playing my brother!

That ebony fretboard does all the magic
Killer!
Nice instrument!
Maestro
Brutal!!
Bravo
what bass is that?
It's a Wyn zericote 5 string fretless.
Idk why I’m just now getting recommended this but fun stuff 👍
wooooooooooooooooooooooow!
where did you get those nuclear-bionic fingers??!!! I guess eons of playing..
just beautiful ;)
nice job man!
Sick bassline!
🤘Bravissimo
You're my bass hero right now :)
1:40 So beautiful
Vet!
Sounds so cool. Does anyone know if fretless is much more difficult to learn than regular bass?
kinda weird to get used to, but definitely not harder, I have played fretless for a year now and it's fucking awesome, even made my guitars fretless
Damn, I need to consider getting one and learning
Yes. It is considered to be much more difficult.
Astonishing sound! What woods and pickups are in this bass?
Google is your friend. That, and the "Players" page on the Wyn guitars website says the following: "He plays a Wyn Ziricote 5 string fretless equiped with Nordstrand Dual Coils and a Graphtech Piezo."
That Eden Amp tho 👌
Impressive as fuck, especially when u see it by your own eyes.
What make / model is this bass please?
2:58!Insane!
Veil of Mayaaaa...
sick bass man I love camouflage
Definitely hear some Sean Malone influence. Great stuff.
Where can I find that bass?

@@RobinZielhorstThank you,mate!!!
Keep the groove.

There’s no effects, that’s how fretless basses sound. Play one sometime.
What manufacturer made this bass ?
that ending
flatwounds?
Gotta be - roundwounds will chew through a wooden fretboard in no time. Not to mention they're that much brighter in sound, which some might argue would "go against the point".
Nope, roundwounds. They don't eat into the fretboard too bad, and I prefer the sound and feel of roundwounds.
Whaddya know, the man himself!.. :)
@@RobinZielhorst You are such an inspiration, please tell me what pedals you're using to get that mwaaah bubble?
@@PriZeMaN1 no effects, it's the tone of the fretless making that mwaaah sound.
It feels like the strings on the bass are spaced wider than normal, i have a 6 string bass, and the neck on his looks wider than on mine...
as a huge dominic lapointe fan I enjoyed this so much. well written and executed!
if you don't mind what kind of strings are those and the gauge
It's DR MR5-130s
Vsauce michael here
Wtf, haven't I seen this already?
in the last upload the sound and video were out of sync and the information was wrong
It was out of sync before
🤘🏿😺
sweet baas anf cover mate
Hmmm, it's hard to name it a "cover" :P
kamilkubik omg i didn't notice haha shit that explains why it is so perfect
I am not a huge fan of the fretless bass sound... usually. This one sounds absolutely gorgeous. Warm and yet lively
Excellent?
what is the tuning? please someone help me.
Hi, I use standard tuning, nothing special.
Thanks a lot 🙏
Who makes that pickup? Is it a dual coil?
Google is your friend. That, and the "Players" page on the Wyn guitars website says the following: "He plays a Wyn Ziricote 5 string fretless equiped with Nordstrand Dual Coils and a Graphtech Piezo."
I know it's unlikely and maybe futile to ask but a playthrough of a new NeO song or two would be REEEEEEEEALLY cool tbh :)
Tuning please? Standard?
Yups, standard
The guy is playing great stuff and people are asking equipment questions. : /
Like getting the same equipment would get you closer to his skills ;)
This is insanely good. If I didn't know differently, and someone just told me to listen to this, I would say this is Cynic.
+Dakota Hawkins Well he was in Cynic, along with the lead guitarist for Traced in Air haha
Learn something new every day.
as i said... time and Key changes
1:18
i miss my fretless.
All these comments and no mention of Steve DiGiorgio and Dark Hall? The bands could be twins...
WhoKilledKenny2 gotta love steve! Seriously king of
The fretless
very SteveDiGiorgio-influenced
WHO WANTS TO BE KING!!?
Super low action bass
How can you tell it's got a low action? Ty
Very sean malone like
that face again :D
Sean malone influence
Absolutely. 2 of my biggest fretless inspirations.
