having Jack Irons on drums is absolutely sick! (for those who didn't know) He was a founding member of RHCP and has worked with Pearl Jam and Les Claypool (amongst others)!!
I think the reason I love his groves so much is because it sounds like he's transcribed and is playing my nonsensical vocalizations that I do when I am alone and he made it badass.
He’s got the nails for classical/flamenco guitar and the technique looks a lot like that. It’s how I play, thumb on low e and index/middle/ring for a d and g, respectively
I dubbed it The Lobster Claw on one of his videos like 12 years ago and he sometimes uses that in the titles. It's not just a flamenco reuse/mix for the bass, he uses the pointer and middle to do ghost and double notes with extra punch/crunch.
it just goes to show, you don’t have to follow the rules, because there are no rules. Slap on electric bass was invented almost by accident. Now there are four or five different approaches to slap bass technique. If all you ever do is what has already been done before, you will only gained notoriety as an imitator, not an inventor. This guy is a mad scientist 💪🏼
I’ve never in all my years of playing music and listening to non-mainstream stuff heard anything like this. It’s a really unique tone, especially how he does the pop/slap sound w/o using his thumb. That bass is something unique too
@@dmacrolens instead of leaving some snide remark, why don’t you show everyone what you can do and then people can critique your playing. Unless you’re not a musician and don’t have a clue how to create music, in which case you should probably just not say anything and let people think you’re an idiot instead of the alternative.
At 56, and taking up bass again after 30 year hiatus, I can confidently say I will never be this good. But thanks for continuing to want to make me play! 😏🙏🏻👍✌️
Well, not with that attitude, young man 😂😂😂 You may not play this, but your brain will think of ideas to play that no one else will think of. There's only one of you sir ,embrace it ✌️❤️
Every time that you upload, there are a few parts in each song that when I hear them, I think: "whoa. I didn't know that the bass could be played like that." You not only have that sense of the funk, but at the same time have this really unique sense of rhythm and timing. Man, it's really impressive.
The bass, the tone, the groove, the jam, the drums, the contrast between the groovy funk parts and the silly slide parts - so much to love in this one video!
This is the best bass solo I've ever heard and I've played guitar for over thirty years.I could listen to this all day.Theres so much talent and technique,it's just sick.Thank you
That kicked ass. Amazing sound and instrument. I really liked the harmonic notes toward the beginning and how they completed that melody. Couldn't just watch this once. Keep the funk alive!
Hey Remco, I just wanted to say that you were one of my inspirations to start playing bass. I remember watching your video with that amazing blue fretless bass when I was about 12. It was like a lightbulb turned on in my brain and playing bass was all I wanted to do for the rest of my life. 6 years on and I’ve played every single day. I just wanted to say thank you for all that you do. Rock on man 🤘
Awesome to hear that, thanks for letting me know! Great that you're dedicated and play every day, that's the right mindset to get there. Glad I've been able to inspire, similar happened to me a while back and that lightbulb only gets brighter, the more you're at it the more fun it gets. Wish you all the best with your playing, keep grooving!
I'm not a bass player, but wow! Mesmerizing! This music is alive. It has a personality. It's a friend I didn't know I had until I stumbled on this link. Thank you!!
Wow !!! Pero Que talento y que destreza !!! Genial, No es el bajo, es el bajista !!! Muchas gracias, que deleite verte tocar de esa manera y esa técnica tan buena.
I dream of a day where paths cross and have a chance to have ya jam with me and the boys! Thanks for filling our ears with so much for so many years and for what I hope will be many more years. Meanwhile, I'll keep dreaming... and filling my ears with what I can.
Another gem. Very encouraging to hear such novel ideas, there will always “something more” to accomplish with music or with an instrument, there is music waiting to be made and artists should make it their mission to find it and make it happen. 💪🏼
Well… just freakin wow. My algorithm just fed me your channel , I’m in. I plan on pinching a WHOLE lot from you. Great style, excellent fingering. Thx😊
This has to be the coolest bass I've ever laid my eyes on
Intuition , do as black magic to one's owns benefits
Sick bass, funky ass jam, 100% love it
Agreed
That stick produces some serious/unique sounds
WOoohowl!1111
yes. Just, yes.
Oy! that was gonna be my comment! LOL😂
Yes
Correct: yes.
Великолепно! 100%
And yes
having Jack Irons on drums is absolutely sick! (for those who didn't know) He was a founding member of RHCP and has worked with Pearl Jam and Les Claypool (amongst others)!!
Those who don't know, probably don't know what an rhcp is also
@@roosterqmoney not necessarily; I was a fan of them for a while before I explored their early stuff
that explains why the pocket is so deep that he's finding change
Also the group ELEVEN.
yes Jack makes this badass..kit sounds amazing!!
That right hand technique is worthy of a Berkeley course on its own
i was about to be like who plays a fretless with a guitar finger style... this fucking guy and hes tons better then me.
Aren't there a fuck ton of bass players like that?
@@MeshuggahDave.He probably started on guitar I'd bet.
I think the reason I love his groves so much is because it sounds like he's transcribed and is playing my nonsensical vocalizations that I do when I am alone and he made it badass.
yes, he makes melodies on a bass.
As cool as the groove is…
As cool as the bass is…
I just can’t take my eyes off the right hand technique. Never seen anything like. Wild.
He’s got the nails for classical/flamenco guitar and the technique looks a lot like that. It’s how I play, thumb on low e and index/middle/ring for a d and g, respectively
I dubbed it The Lobster Claw on one of his videos like 12 years ago and he sometimes uses that in the titles. It's not just a flamenco reuse/mix for the bass, he uses the pointer and middle to do ghost and double notes with extra punch/crunch.
I was thinking the same thing

Talent.
Thank you for the support, much appreciated!
I’ve never in all my years of playing music and listening to non-mainstream stuff heard anything like this. It’s a really unique tone, especially how he does the pop/slap sound w/o using his thumb. That bass is something unique too
He's just plucking with his thumb instead of slapping. Basically playing it finger-style like a regular guitar.
You really need to listen to more music then...
@@Raging.Geekazoid you should post a video of you playing and show us how it’s done.
@@dmacrolens instead of leaving some snide remark, why don’t you show everyone what you can do and then people can critique your playing.

@@jeremyxx11 You wouldn't be able to stand the awesomeness. 😎
Upright bassist here who dabbles in electric. Your right hand technique is a marvel!
At 56, and taking up bass again after 30 year hiatus, I can confidently say I will never be this good. But thanks for continuing to want to make me play! 😏🙏🏻👍✌️
@@G.G.-nt2mi Never say never. It takes work but it is not impossible at any age. Just take one step at a time and don't rush.
😊 чел здарова, я с России, тоже играю на Басё😀 ✌️
Well, not with that attitude, young man 😂😂😂 You may not play this, but your brain will think of ideas to play that no one else will think of. There's only one of you sir ,embrace it ✌️❤️
I’ve been at it for 24 years, and I’ll never be this good. Some people are just born with certain talents, don’t take it too hard.
You are programming yourself to fail, sir. No point in saying never....
this is how it sounds when you miscalculate the microdose
🤣👌
LOL😂
My current status. Can't believe this comment😂
You are the best 😂😊
EXACTLY!! LMAO

this is why we love fretless bass
there's a handful of bassists i recognize in 3 seconds of hearing them. remco is at the top of that list
I hear a little Cliff, a little Les, and a whole lot of Remco.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼✌🏼
The cutaway on that fretless is spectacular. And it looks like dude is having a lot of fun...
The most original bass player out there. You never cease to amaze me, Remco. Please never stop.
Love the sound of this bass! Amazing playing as usual
The bass fits your style so well
maybe the finest bass playing ive ever heard???
It's rare and glorious to find a unique and original style like this. I'm digging the Remco Man!
This totally needs a complete band and lyrics, this would be such a rad song
fretless bass with a little bit of chorus has to be the best sound in the world
The bass, the tone, the groove, the jam, the drums, the contrast between the groovy funk parts and the silly slide parts - so much to love in this one video!
ive been coming back to this for the past week just cant get over how sick that bass is
This is the best bass ive ever heard. Hands down.
Now that's what I call Rocking it.
Beautiful Bass and it sounds as beautiful as it looks
Watch the right hand. Superb.
Jack Irons absolutely crushing it on drums makes this 1000x times better
Fantastic performance. I love the shape of that bass,and the sound as well,of course 🙂
Bro beated the bass game at the impossible level. Greetings from Brazil!
I could listen to this for hours.
I could listen all day.
Great playing. So deep in the groove it's nearly coming through on the other side.
Wow... So funky and beautiful!
This is some of the most tasty bass playing I’ve ever seen. My god.
Remco .. what can I say.. you leave me speechless with every new video you put out.. Fantastic !!
I need more of this!
Wonderful!
Tone, intonation, and groove are phenomenal
This is the best bass solo I've ever heard and I've played guitar for over thirty years.I could listen to this all day.Theres so much talent and technique,it's just sick.Thank you
Im so freaking jealous!!!!!!! I want a fretless bass so badly!!! Cant wait for him to come out with more music with this thing.
That kicked ass. Amazing sound and instrument. I really liked the harmonic notes toward the beginning and how they completed that melody. Couldn't just watch this once. Keep the funk alive!
Bro has the sitcom-opening vibe on lock. Somebody get this man a contract with Netflix
So ribald song 😄 I think it could be in some movie or cartoon 😃 Excellent technique - as allways.
Poland proud of Stradi! 😊
Country Beatles Jazz Funk... love it!

Awesome to hear that, thanks for letting me know! Great that you're dedicated and play every day, that's the right mindset to get there. Glad I've been able to inspire, similar happened to me a while back and that lightbulb only gets brighter, the more you're at it the more fun it gets. Wish you all the best with your playing, keep grooving!
All time winner coolest bass, and all time winner creative funk as damn boy!!! Awesome groove!
My god!!!! The funk in this is insane. Wow!
How is it that i get recommended this channel, like, every few months, then not again for months?
Love that fretless tone. Siiick af
That groove was brutal
Very entertaining. Holding attention like that with just a bass? Legit
TELEPORTED ME INTO TOE JAM & EARL WITH THIS FUNK
Yes!! Likwise!
This is possibly the most beautiful thing I've ever heard...!
I'm not a bass player, but wow! Mesmerizing! This music is alive. It has a personality. It's a friend I didn't know I had until I stumbled on this link.
Thank you!!
Old skoool youtube vibes. Straight to the juice. Wonderful.
Funkiest funk my ears have ever feasted upon... 👍
This guy is a certified groovy groover
I love the fretless. Imagine if it was a 5 string. That low B string would break windows.
Absolutely phenomenal bass, and even more phenomenal playing!
God let the Funk shine on Remco .
Yeah, I think "god" is WAY AHEAD of you on that one...😊
Черт возьми это просто потрясающе! Невероятный виртуоз! Спасибо Мэн кайфанул от души!
TUFF! Jack Irons is probably like all of us when we heard you 🤣 floored
Absolutely love this!!! I could listen to this going around in a loop
5 Stars and I would began to dance at 07.00 in the morning and THX for sharing!!!
That was awesome! Sound, tone, track, feel, everything locked in. Wunderbar!
Beautiful instrument 😮
That's just so good, and not many sound like Remco.
Sounds like what Jaco Pastorius would be doing if he was still here. Very good.
Amazing Bass. How sweet the sound.
This is straight up goofy in the coolest way possible
What an amazing tone to go with the amazing playing! Like....a fretless Rick sound...with a Jaco ( creativity) playing it. 👍👍
Everytime Remco uploads, it's always a funky dirty assault on the senses.
I don't know how you come up with these.
The grooviest cat on the tube.
Killer jam on a beautiful looking and sounding bass.
What a spaceship, marvellous !!!
Incredible in so many ways!Master of fretless!!
I love my acoustic bass. Made me money when traveling. Someone told me Youre never starving if you can play the Guitar
This man is just a groove factory... every video is just *mwah*
Immaculate playing! Holy moly
Tone,meter,innovative and everything else is just awesome. Much respect from this drummer 🥁 😊
Wow! That is off the charts!🎵
Extraordinary.... is it wrong to listen to this 6 times in a row?😊
Король обалденных фраз на бас гитаре!👍
Wow !!! Pero Que talento y que destreza !!! Genial, No es el bajo, es el bajista !!! Muchas gracias, que deleite verte tocar de esa manera y esa técnica tan buena.
super conception de l'instrument , super jeu bravo l'artiste
Remco's so cool! Wish him and Dr. Funk would meet up !! Be epic !! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Looks like a cut-down cello! Brilliant sound.
Awsome..great performance on a wonderful instrument from a gifted musician..thank you very much for sharing❤❤❤😊
So cool to watch your creative evolution! I've been watching your videos for almost 10 years now, lol
I dream of a day where paths cross and have a chance to have ya jam with me and the boys!
Thanks for filling our ears with so much for so many years and for what I hope will be many more years.
Meanwhile, I'll keep dreaming... and filling my ears with what I can.
Another gem. Very encouraging to hear such novel ideas, there will always “something more” to accomplish with music or with an instrument, there is music waiting to be made and artists should make it their mission to find it and make it happen. 💪🏼
Well… just freakin wow.
My algorithm just fed me your channel , I’m in. I plan on pinching a WHOLE lot from you.
Great style, excellent fingering. Thx😊
Fantastic timbre & love the wacky awesome playing - I can hear the horn section + other great ideas... Cheers from Seattle! 🍻
It's like watching a magician!!!!!
Love your style dude!
A truly original style and tone...and a beauty of a bass! Thanks for pleasing the ear!
Absolutely amazing, sounds wonderful.
So nice! Great feel, phrasing and chops…and of course the funk
That bass is cool AF.
