Well done mate as always I follow U from Aus I got my channel too which I started 3 weeks ago I'm inspired by U as well if U like checked out and leave feedback what do I have to improve and how. Good on ya mate stay well
Great funk playing reminds me of Stanley Clarke. I feel like the tapping is in rock ballad style and doesn't fit would have expect more of an R & B ballad vibe. It's a little too pretty in my opinion
Bro... the ad was even crazier than the track! 😂 Tapping like that while talking? I can't even sing cadences while basic fingerpicking, never mind talk!😂
@@Roberto-nn6kb Haha good one, but I think you might not understand what I was saying? Singing to what you're playing is usually easier than talking. Being able to talk like that while doing a two hand tap run is massive dexterity and muscle memory.
Who would ever guess the most Disgustingly Funkiest bass player in the world was a ginger!!!! I LOVE IT!!!! Seriously Charles, bass player for over 40 years here, you have surpassed all of my bass player idols with clean technique, funky grooves, melodic solos, and a wide range of mind blowing playing styles. Keep up the great work. Would love to see you tour someday!
I'm a fan of this guy, for me he's the best in the world, he plays very beautifully, I've never heard such a beautiful sound. Most famous bass players make a loud noise at a lot of speed but don't say anything. But this guy is the best! greetings from Brazil!
I thought I couldn't love the sound of a bass guitar more than I already have for my 34 years of life, but you my good man, have proven me wrong multiple times by the time of this writing. But seriously man, you are a great musician and I can only help but appreciate the amount of time effort and love of the craft of music that has gone into these skills of yours, and I love how you promote such great positivity and fun among your viewers. Keep on keepin' on, and may the world continue to bless you on your journey.
Awesome, I actually liked the "slower" pace of this one for a change. You are so awesome that sometimes I forget how good simpler stuff sounds too. Just nice and groovy.
@@MaddestMousse”pretty simple,” maybe for a virtuoso like Charles, but most people will never reach this level lol. Some parts are pretty simple, but it’s still pretty complex overall.
Nothing better than listening 🎶 to you Jam while stuck in traffic, and yes I air play and I don't care how many drivers are staring at me 😅 thank you so much for all the musical content you put out for us your fans.
Now, that was fly. Also, blew me away how you did the commercial and kept up w the entire theme song... that's like your brain working overtime doing 3 things at once.. I'm impressed.
Was that Rotosound 66 Funk-masters with a bit of Marcus style slippin thru on this awesome well spaced funk track? Awesome Charles and thanks for all your great content!
What a supreme joy it must be to play with this level of skill. I was a bass player for some years so I know enough to be astounded. Just fantastic Charles! Keep it up.
I'm not complaining, :). I think Charles wants the whole world to play bass. He's inspired me to get better and I share his videos with all my non bass playing musician friends, and anyone else who will let me!
Reminds me of a Marcus Miller tone (more specifically from the tune Blast. so good!) Great work Charles! I'd love to see the processing you used to get here.
Awesome as always. Im shopping for a new bass . My style is like yours and I love your sound . I was actually going to buy your bass by Schecter but there never in stock What would be a good 2nd choice 4 string . Im way faster and tighter on 4 . Going to get a hip shot. I appreciate your help. Thank you and huge props .
You inspired me to pick up my bass again. I appreciate your content and skill. When your 5-string bass is released, I’d love to get one. Thanks Charles!
Hey Charles, is the Breakout blues availabe on Spotify? I really love it (Did i understand its name correctly? I'm not an English native speaker). By the way, nice video, your way of playing funk (and music in general) is amazing, thanks to you I love the bass, an instrument of which I almost didn't know anything before your videos. I play bass too, specifically the six string short scale piccolo bass 🙂.
I love the way you thump slap and pick and pluck with your thumb. I am a percussive player on my guitar with smallest fingers ever and I am so inspired by your style! Thanks my man!!
Dang, this one's worthy of a Marcus Miller album! It's one thing to be able to play stuff like that, but quite another to compose it yourself. Well done, Charles! By the way, have you ever considered trying out a Chapman stick? Some say it's the ultimate tap instrument.
Such a fantastic groove, again brilliant music from Charles! Actually I also play bass myself but my superpower is to drive cruise ships while speaking Finnish! 🙂
That's a great track you wrote here! It has a kind of Marcus Miller-y structure, I love it. Maybe just a tad too much cymbals at the beginning of the last tapping section. But the rest is awesome!
SICK (in a good way ... in case that doesn't translate well ...) ! Soo impressive. Also impressive is playing "Breakout Blues" while talking to us. I stayed to listen!!! Thank you for taking the time to share your skills and these wonderful creations with the world!
Again, you are a freak of nature. Mind blowing talent I have never seen. And again, I protest because I play bass (amateur) and there's no way in hell I can slap a bass and have it sound like anything other than somebody beating on the strings with a wet sock. I HATE SLAP!!!
Why can't all highly skilled youtube musicians produce one highly technical cross-genre bossa nova jazz prog metal pop album together? Please bless us Stevie T, El Estepario, and you Charles.
If I never chill with my friends after winning a drift-race down the curves of a Japanese mountainside in a souped up 90s sedan, I can still look back on my life with similar satisfaction thanks to this bumpin tune.
2:59 I’ve been watching a lot of your videos. I cut my teeth on bass playing Rancid, and of course everyone who knows Rancid knows that Maxwell Murder has the best punk bass solo of all time. I would love to see your take on Maxwell Murder by Rancid.
Rabbit rabbit !! Awesome Charles !!! Sounds a bit like Stanley Clarke when my eyes are closed - fabulous piano and yes - filthily funky - I am very , very scared it so dangerously funky !!!🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏🎼
I'd like to run this through my system and turn on one of my amplifiers and just tag along. I don't play bass but I can throw some guitar and with that and have fun doing it
Hello my friend! You are one of the best bass players in this world... Many people have enough technique, BUT... You need to have the ability to improvise... And you have this... I respect your TALENT! You are super! Best regards from Russia!
SHAhaha! 💥🕶💥Love it!! well that was actualy mesmerizing for me, both sound and technique! I skipped back more than a few times to check the funky fingers!! (They really get down!!!)
You really are unbelievable! Every time I listen to you I'm taken back to growing up with early Mark King (Level 42) late 70's early 80's. You absolutely blow me away!
Ya know, as a bass player of 40 years sometimes you just hear something that makes you smile. Yeah this made me smile. All i can do give you a "tip of cap". Well done young lad... well done.
Beautiful and exceptionally well played as always but if I had one criticism it's that you almost never spend any time in the bassy part of the bass! This is a perfect example - down tuning the E string and making almost no use of it in the song. Your sense of time and flow is second to none, I would LOVE to hear you write some down low grooves that no doubt would be absolutely killer!
Hi, what kind of strings do you use and what diameter? I play a 6 string bass and have never tried anything smaller than a diameter of 130, and I don't know which ones to try.
Super fly guy! ❤❤❤ tracking through the tough streets of NY in the early 70s funk scene in the tricked out Caddie with the awsome headlights. 🙏🙏🪬🪬💎💎🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🥃🥃🥃
Hi Charles. I know it’s your signature model bass now, but would mind doing a video with your red LeFay? I’ve missing the beautiful redhead under your fingers. Same goes for the dark color model behind your left shoulder in this video. I haven’t even seen either LeFay hanging on your wall in any of your videos.
Excellent.. Excellent....yes more videos am gonna join before 2025 am a struggling bassist just relocated to Cleveland......😊😊😊...can't wait until I get settled

Hi
Have you tries singing an ad read? Might be easier than reading it.
Great funk playing reminds me of Stanley Clarke. I feel like the tapping is in rock ballad style and doesn't fit would have expect more of an R & B ballad vibe. It's a little too pretty in my opinion
Technique + musicality + humor = that's Charles Berthoud we deserve 🎵
Perfect mood!
When Marcus Miller takes possession of Charles's full body...
Fucking plagiator! Create something, not stilling! Anna Ternheim!
That's dirty enough the Health Inspector is on his way to your house right now. _Damn._
Bro... the ad was even crazier than the track! 😂
Tapping like that while talking? I can't even sing cadences while basic fingerpicking, never mind talk!😂
i cant sing even when im not doing anything else
bruh, even talking sometimes
@@Roberto-nn6kb Haha good one, but I think you might not understand what I was saying?
Singing to what you're playing is usually easier than talking. Being able to talk like that while doing a two hand tap run is massive dexterity and muscle memory.
@@x8jason8x i don't think you understood yourself bro xD
@@D4RKV3NOM I didn't understand he was joking? At least 55 people understood and apparently even liked what I said at this point... soooo... 😂
The "likes" you got were for your initial comment.. I clearly was refering to your second comment, you silly 🪿🦆
The synth doubling the bass at 0:37 is awesome! So funky
Who would ever guess the most Disgustingly Funkiest bass player in the world was a ginger!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!

Yeah cause this is pretty simple stuff lol.
@@MaddestMousse”pretty simple,” maybe for a virtuoso like Charles, but most people will never reach this level lol. Some parts are pretty simple, but it’s still pretty complex overall.
@@lemonmouth7895 I was being sarcastic, in reply to the original comment. Cause yeah I agree lol this is definitely not simple or “simpler stuff”.
Just sick man... your composition chops are as kickass as your bass chops.
Yes indeed. Separates 1:37 him from the herd in a big way.
Thank you for all the incredible arrangements Brother
Nothing better than listening 🎶 to you Jam while stuck in traffic, and yes I air play and I don't care how many drivers are staring at me 😅 thank you so much for all the musical content you put out for us your fans.
Seeing someone play air bass while I'm stuck in traffic would definitely make it more tolerable 🤣
so listening to Charles's solo jams while stuck in a traffic congestion makes this traffic JAMming right ;)
How can you tell he's stuck in traffic?
Now, that was fly. Also, blew me away how you did the commercial and kept up w the entire theme song... that's like your brain working overtime doing 3 things at once.. I'm impressed.
I have long since come to the conclusion that CB is either a disguised octopus or four tapping weasels wearing a human-like trenchcoat :)
" This is the most DISGUSTINGLY FUNKY bass sound in the world "
😂😂😂
That's the original title
Why?
There’s nothing wrong with the current name!!
1 hour in unchanged!
You’re a genius sir..what you did there with the ad was amaziiiiing😂.
My bass right now is a 4-string Epitone Firebird in drop B standard. I had to modify the saddle just to accept the low string.
My bass is an eBay electric guitar that I just pretend it's a bass 😂
I got one of my basses from Temu 😌 it's so light feels like it might be made of Styrofoam but I love it 🤣
Was that Rotosound 66 Funk-masters with a bit of Marcus style slippin thru on this awesome well spaced funk track? Awesome Charles and thanks for all your great content!
I'd love if all these songs were available to stream!
Especially if there was a compilation album of your fretless bass stuff!!!
1:44 sooo funky 🔥
Man I'd love to lay down some drums to this! You have the bass only track anywhere?
Drummers unite!
I’ve been drumming for over 50 years. There so many soundtracks out there that I’d love to conquer, but I’m running out of time!
I’d love to add some funky jazzy piano 🎹 to this 👌❤️
What a supreme joy it must be to play with this level of skill. I was a bass player for some years so I know enough to be astounded. Just fantastic Charles! Keep it up.
Love the Marcus style bass, it sounds so damn good man
Was counting the comments until I saw a Marcus Miller comment: 8
The fact that these performances are available for free is unbelievable!
I'm not complaining, :). I think Charles wants the whole world to play bass. He's inspired me to get better and I share his videos with all my non bass playing musician friends, and anyone else who will let me!
The ad broke my brain. I can't play bass and talk at the same time, but he can two hand tap and talk.
Reminds me of a Marcus Miller tone (more specifically from the tune Blast. so good!)
Great work Charles! I'd love to see the processing you used to get here.
Love Blast. Was listening to it today. That one big deep slide he does after a bunch of high register stuff is just too good
@@FrankDux-uo7ig Tickles my spine, that one.
I keep hearing Vulfpeck’s “Beastly”!
I LOVE this! amazing work, man! you are so talented and such an inspiration!
Awesome as always. Im shopping for a new bass . My style is like yours and I love your sound . I was actually going to buy your bass by Schecter but there never in stock What would be a good 2nd choice 4 string . Im way faster and tighter on 4 . Going to get a hip shot. I appreciate your help. Thank you and huge props .

*Every* instrument is the ultimate tap instrument if this guy is playing it.
Once again you made my day! ❤ Love ever single detail. Nothing to add and nothing to remove. Perfect. ❤
my left earbud is broken and this still sounds amazing
I tune D,G,C,F love it
Ah, so you're in fourths instead of fifths...Very interesting!🙂
D standard
I love your playing man. Always smooth and in the groove.
This is my favourite style of solo bass playing! Please do more of this it is EPIC!!!
Would love to hear how your bass sounds with only the neck pickup (no bridge).
That add with the walking & all was disgustingly awesome (the playing especially). Always impressed by everything you do, Charles. Wow.
1:20 you entered firmly in to smooth jaaz territory
Many compliments, young man! I've been playing bass 52 years and was "blown away" by your awesome performance on bass;-) Keep up the good work, Bro!
That transition at 1:18-1:24. Man, wow. Actually, this whole song is absolutely amazing!
Such a fantastic groove, again brilliant music from Charles! Actually I also play bass myself but my superpower is to drive cruise ships while speaking Finnish! 🙂
That's a great track you wrote here! It has a kind of Marcus Miller-y structure, I love it. Maybe just a tad too much cymbals at the beginning of the last tapping section. But the rest is awesome!
If love to see a behind the scenes of u filming/creating the videos and music one day, smooth like butter as always
His slap gets even more dangerous every new vid he posts... Just amazing
SICK (in a good way ... in case that doesn't translate well ...) ! Soo impressive. Also impressive is playing "Breakout Blues" while talking to us. I stayed to listen!!! Thank you for taking the time to share your skills and these wonderful creations with the world!

I have been violently projectile vomiting and simultaneously pooping my pants since listening to this bass. 5/5 stars. Would recommend.
You beast! Amazing as usual 😊

I have been using your Polyphia Neurotica cover as my ringtone since you did it. I think I'm going to switch to this 😁
Will absolutely never get tired of that two finger tap and slide technique you do. Great stuff as always.
Kinda sounds like marcus miller inspired
Yes! Especially the beginning of it reminded me of a song of his
100%
Just stumbled across this channel and the funky vibes are intoxicating, brb bouta go binge watch every video
I always thought the bass could be the lead instrument.
Amazing job as always Charles.
Charles is amazing, but he is hardly the first lead bass player of the past 50 years.
Outstanding! Really digging this one!
Do you write your backing tracks? The sustain on the splash during the taping part was compositional mastery.
This is the chill tone from the 90's action/buddy movies : Freakin awesome !
You never fail to amaze me with your talent. Your understanding of music is phenomenal 👏
Amazing bass work, as always. And I am in on Incogni, going to give them a shot.
Incredible! Playing. I could never remember all those movements and notes. Really like the new Bass also.👍
Danke!
Rabbit rabbit !! Awesome Charles !!! Sounds a bit like Stanley Clarke when my eyes are closed - fabulous piano and yes - filthily funky - I am very , very scared it so dangerously funky !!!🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏🎼
Been really enjoying your videos and loved your interview with SBL!
I'd like to run this through my system and turn on one of my amplifiers and just tag along. I don't play bass but I can throw some guitar and with that and have fun doing it
I LOVE the sound of a bass tuned low
I tune my 8 string Ibanez a full step down
Slap is frequently over used but here there's a wonderful blend of slap rythm and arresting melody. Gotta love it.
Hello my friend! You are one of the best bass players in this world... Many people have enough technique, BUT... You need to have the ability to improvise... And you have this... I respect your TALENT! You are super! Best regards from Russia!
This still sounds so smooth and crispy even with my cheap workstation headset!
SHAhaha! 💥🕶💥Love it!! well that was actualy mesmerizing for me, both sound and technique! I skipped back more than a few times to check the funky fingers!! (They really get down!!!)
I would love to hear you perform this in a band setting. No click. No grid.
So incredible!!!! Such an inspiration ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Do you use effects or only The bass to get that slap tones?
No idea but it sounds like scooped mids and lotsa compression
Amazing! Love it ❤
You really are unbelievable! Every time I listen to you I'm taken back to growing up with early Mark King (Level 42) late 70's early 80's. You absolutely blow me away!

Speaking as a former Bassist I'm loving the content and you have a new sub. I was never at your skill level though.
Very Groovy indeed 😎 Made me have to go listen to "pogo sticks" from Animusic. Also very groovy base lines.
Gimme a bucket, I'm gonna barf. I couldn't keep down even a wafer-thin serving of funk after all that funky goodness.
Love that funk tone! Did you drop the E down to B or something like that?
Super fly guy!

This was great! Surprised you didn't have a HipShot though? I assumed it was standard equipment for all professional bass players nowadays.
Wow. Did you write that Charles?? That’s amazing! Where can I get the whole tune? B
Just f**king awesome! man !where do i sign up for beginners. Im going to buy a bass
Hi Charles. I know it’s your signature model bass now, but would mind doing a video with your red LeFay? I’ve missing the beautiful redhead under your fingers.

I know you won't dare make a cover of the song "RESISTE" from France Gall... But I needed to ask. Love your work;)
My beanbag is undulating
Charles, I want to learn to play like you but I don't have sunglasses. What do?
Lol, haha, nice
