      Having a vast knowledge of the drums )applied and theoretical )my verdict on the drummer is this. The bassist may as well be using a drum machine, the drummer plays with next to no feeling or groove. I could understand the lack of innovative fills if the drummer had really got in the pocket of the groove, however he did not; leaving much to be desired. The bassist on the contrary is beyond virtuosic! And loved the video none the less 😋

    It's a sneaky and confident slab of funk. Like Carne Asada. Lines cutting against the grain,opening up breaking points. Keeping the entire meal from becoming chewy and less memorable. You are a master at your craft and your professional approach, respecting the instrument, and also pushing its boundaries. Is classy and tasty.

You mentioned treating your fretboard with epoxy, do you recommend applying it in the form of an aerosol spray?

    • @RemcosGrooveLab
      @RemcosGrooveLab  9 років тому +13

      Cheers Gary, glad you're digging my stuff! If you'd like to treat it with epoxy I'd recommend brushing it on & sanding it down to get it levelled. If you'd prefer spraying, maybe polyurethane could be an option, it's less durable, but easier to apply. Best of luck with your new fretless man, enjoy!!

      +dandycliff2 I guess you haven't heard this joke. A guy summons the devil and asks: "How much for being the best guitarist in the world?" "Your soul", the devil replied. "That's a bit too expensive" claims the guy "What do I get for 10$?" And the guy became homeless for he'd become the best bass player in the world. :)

      +dandycliff2 If you sell your soul you do not need anything. It is the same as if to sell computer in order to buy software. And no you cannot buy another soul.

      No. I don't check out comment advertisers. And no one else does either. Reported.
