We've got some very talented players here! Extremely hard to pick the winners! Thanks to all who participated, I hope you enjoyed it 😊Take advantage of being at home and play some BASS!!! 🔥
don't do those kind of faces on the thumbnail please, you are better than that
LMAO
CharlesBerthoud It was fun! Congrats to all the winners! 😎
Can you make a playlist with all the entries
It was fun I'm buying a bass when the 'C- word' thing that's happening in the world ends because all the music shops closed lol
8:35 Megalovania into the lick, we've peaked boys

The keyboard arrangement guy has some mad editing and composing skills. Gratz to the winner!
Thank you :)
Yeah, he was my favorite
Yeah that one was super fun

That keyboard arrangement was amazzing! He took a nice bass line and built a whole world around it that felt like it fit perfectly.
He clearly should have won..
Dis dude couldn't apprechiate his genius
@@blockchainmusic8697 - He was not good at bass
where do we get a full version of this keyboard challenge performance?
I would pay good money to see a concert with these 2.
You can't just make a grown man cry like that... the final solo where you and that bass make beautiful music together was like doing one final thing with a loved one before saying goodbye.
yes 🙌🏻 Thank you! Love the way your words describes exactly the feeling I Experienced watching the final solo performed
Right!? It was really upsetting. Beautiful but upsetting.
I definitely cried. No shame.
what is the title of this song please tell me
i need a copy of his last bass solo the track and a copy of the sheet music
Woaaaah I didn't expect this! Thank you so much Charles for the second place 😍😍😍
Big congrats to 69 guy!!! 😎
You're welcome - thanks for taking part! Your solo was really awesome, and that bass sounds so good 😍
Thank you, man!
@@CharlesBerthoud It was really fun taking part of this contest! It's all of us who have to thank you!!! ☺️
@@antoneoromero Welcome bro, well deserved! 🤩
@@Libanass I loved yours a hell lot!
oh my god! 3rd place! thank you so much charles!!
Your solo was great!
For the record, I thought you played the most tastefully out of everyone. I think you deserved 1st place!
I'm suscribed to your channel. I have to transcribe some of your videos!!! I love your content! ;)
Danny Lundmark thank you !
Cambio de Rumbo thank you!!
At age 79, and as a melodic guitarist, I have long argued that this is how bass should be played. I am indebted to you Charles for educating audiences about the real way to play music.
My 2 year old son fought sleep, rolled all over the bed, refusing a nap...... until your final playing. He scootched over, laid hid head on my shoulder, and WATCHED until the end. When you create music that makes toddlers STOP and pay attention, you've made something truly magical.
Dude, that last solo was pure genius.
Thank you!
@@CharlesBerthoud And you ended with a picardy third :)
It sounds like something you can sing in a church, but I'm not saying it' s not an awesome piece
@@sesclaytpoop8525 Amen.

Keyboard arrangement killed it holy cow. Lol. He should have won just for effort lmao.
I know... from one keyboard guy to another!
I agree
Agree!!!! He deserved to win! Such a great young talent!
I agree
D best by far ;D
You're my new favorite composer. I've spent the last 30 minutes trying to find the words to tell you why.
Your playing vividly brings to my awareness how crude is the written language in communicating ideas and emotions...it speaks clearly, full, and direct, without impedance.
8:35 Megalovania lick
8:37 Adam Neely lick
8:39 Mario Kart lick
Keyboard arrangement was just brilliant
The fucking mario kart killed me
Yes, which at the same time made me think that the mario kart part and the song it plays when you complete a Sonic 3 Giant Ring area are pretty similar.
Adam Neely lick? Is T H E L I C K
Dark Puzzle that’s “the lick”
That arrangement kicked so much ass
The 69 guy.... UNBELIEVABLE
69 guy...LMAO
Oh yes
@@antoneoromero The one and only 69 (lmao) guy
Lmao
69th like, O M G
Man the solo in the end of the video is something else, I would listen to that all day long.... U are very creative mate
I am absolutely obsessed. I’m a drummer and my secondary instrument is a guitar, and this solo alone made me pick up a bass. Specifically the one note where he slides his hands in opposite directions. Gives me chills.
It sounds like ammonia avenue by the alan parson project
Loved the ending solo. Reminds me a bit of solo bass work in Versailles. th-cam.com/video/niAl_paNrh0/w-d-xo.htmlm27s
I must be sensitive but i cried a little.
I didn't even know you could do that with a bass, that's amazing
Is there a full version of the solo you played at the end of the video? That actually made me cry, Charles. You win. You are the artist.
I'm dying to get a full version of that!! It was incredible!
It's not exactly what he played but it definitely felt inspired by Lilium: th-cam.com/video/RFnazAsMOQI/w-d-xo.html
8:10 that entire arrangement sounds like a MarioKart track
On god
Lol, I thought the same while editing it 😅
Or maybe a Dream Theater passage xD
you mean as a compliment ? ^^
@@K-R-O-L Sure. I regret not adding "for a moment" to the comment though.
I loved the tempo and groove from that set. For it to appear more like Dream Theater change the funk for progressive. I love both. Herbie!
Wow. Everything was really cool, but i was almost tearing on multi-keyboard-studio-production version
Oh, thank you very much :D
@@midapiano You're amazing, dude 💪
@@midapiano Your bassline was cool and cheeky groovy as an answer to a bass virtuosity challenge. And it worked well because the overall keyboard "band" was full of music vibe. It is a nice contrast
@@Cresanova ☺️💚
No fair u deserved to win :
Seriously though, I will pay you for the sheet music for that solo at the end, it is absolutely beautiful. I play the drums myself and my secondary instrument is a guitar. This solo alone made me pick up a bass (literally). The one note where you slide your fingers away from each other not only is a beautiful note, but the symbolism that lies within it for the separation of you and your bass, as well as the fact that it’s the two furthest strings from each other and moving in opposite directions... I just love The Whole thing. I’m serious about buying the sheet music. 😂 found this channel from Davie’s channel and honestly I think I like this one more.
L Amour Est bleu ,Blue love.
Wow. You win just for this post!
@@nssherlock4547 you the real mvp
This is really fun way of showcasing talents and engaging with other musicians for others to appreciate the beauty of playing various instruments... thanks Charles
I love how Charles came from a normal PRO bassist and now he's definitely a TH-camr
Man I honestly thought the full arrangement keyboard guy should have won, but I guess the 69 fiver actor had the best bass licks. So fun to watch them all Charles. Great vid!
Your final bass piece was a testament to why so many of us actually do appreciate the.... POWER OF BASS!!!!
👍👍
Also, Antonio looked like the only dude who didn’t already own a $1000 bass.
Lyn Ayra that’s probably had something to do with it.
@@TKDiscGolf I hope so
@@TKDiscGolf Yeah I liked the guy after him more. Idk
Yea maybe thats one of the reason he won instead of key guy or expensive bass guy (like cmon does he need $1000 bass lol). Antonio still great tho
I played my entry with a 1$ flute made by me out of a Pvc pipe. xD
But... I didn't get the "cheapest instrument award"
8:35 megalovania followed by "the lick"
I knew someone would notice it xD
That lick,
is really sick
Epic rythms here...
Slegathraxica 69 likes now lmao, i want to like your comment but cant coz i dont want to ruin this magic
@@kiu8375 same
Holy Moses, I didn't even pick up on "the lick"....how did I miss THAT of all things?! Maybe Megalovania caught me off guard^^
I’m not musically talented or even know what I’m talking about when it comes to music, but I really dig the bass and watching you and the others jam is really cool, thanks.
The Goodbye song 11:14
I like this, I've been repeating it for many times. I mean seriously...
The first one also...... I keep coming back to this video
Ritchie Blackmore plays this in one of Blackmore's Nights songs - I dont recall the name of the song/
The guy with the end of his bass missing should have won - he clearly needs a full length bass.
Lamo! Checkmate!
Right ?!? But what are gonna do with one-and-a-half basses?
It has a nob to adjust octaves its pretty crazy
Yeah. He was a great player too.
This comment is gold. The true irony is that he's actually the only other one using a La Fey custom bass, the same brand Charles uses in most of his videos. That bass is worth 10x the amount the schecter is worth. I HIGHLY suggest checking out Le Fay basses, they're gorgeous works of art. :)
Honestly, this just became one of my favorite videos I've ever watched. I loved how you described the things you liked about their playing, definitely *PRO* level reviews. Hopefully by the next time you do something like this, I'll feel confident enough in my own playing to submit a video ❤
.i'm right with you, i can't believe this talent!
The song at the end is L'Amour Est Bleu (Love is Blue), ARRANGEMENT by CB.
Thank you so much! I was about to ask the question until I saw your comment :-D
Charlie's farewell to his bass at the end was gorgeous.
Dang dude, it's great to see you shine the light on other talented musicians! Congrats to the winner, and awesome work as always!
yup 69 is indeed a magic number. gratz to the guy
Thank you!
@@antoneoromero hi 69 guy. gratz on the bass. make sure you jam a lot with it lol.
@@why-is-this-handle--a-thing I sure will!

8:39 that totally reminds me of "the race is about to begin" jingle from Mario Kart.
😂😂😂
Same here!
This is one of my all time favorite TH-cam videos, ever. The level of talent from around the globe is humbling. That Fodera had some WICKED tone !!!
Is nobody going to talk about that solo at the end?
That was bloody beautiful, absolutely glorious.
Yeah... I have been looking for the song title.
Yeah I feel I should know this song but the name is slipping me
@@longjohnlannister9222 Reminds me of L'amour Est Bleu but changed up.
Congrats to the $69 guy! Amazing bass solo with the power of Davie's magic number
Thank you!
Le mans
I love your name! Lol!
You're one of the only bass players that actually play music. For years I despised slap and taping. There are a few like yourself I actually enjoy 😉. Keep making music. I know people want to be impressed. But I'm impressed when it's actually music. Outstanding young man Outstanding
I feel like Charles didn’t play the solo at the end for us.. it was for the bass. He didn’t wanna see her go, but had no choice. :(
Do you happen to know the title?
This is the comment I was looking for.
When someone brings brass to a bass battle you know something is going to go down.
Oh yeah!
Ed Sheeran plays bass? lol
He slapped.
He tapped.
He fingerstyled.
Approved 😃👍
I'm speechless!!!! What a contest!!! Thx to all!!! Thx for sharing... greetings from germany Christoph 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Charles, you are a very encouraging person. You have a good spirit. Keep on being you. You're a great musician and a great person.
My son is 18 months old. His name is Charles. We call him....... “The Pro”
well then.. my son's name will gonna be berthoud..
You're really on to something here Charles. The quality of the contestants has been mindblowing, clearly a reflection of what your own content attracts.
I enjoyed this video. What an amazing way to bring other musicians together and give opportunity for them to respond to your lead. Some great work Charles!
I've never seen a classical pianist play bass... but this is what I would imagine it to be like. Really amazing. Bravo.
8:35 Did this man just do MEGALOVANIA INTO THE LICK, thats alone makes it a 420/10
Mark Li Bass I think you mean 420/69
@@maackjohnny The Magic Ratio!
into mario kart.
He had some similar synth to "death by glamour" too in my opinion!
charles' solo at the end was like mozart + neil young's heart of gold
The classical arrangement at the end of the video is AMAZING!
That last performance of yours was absolutely amazing. How far young people can see from the shoulders of their predecessors. Take To The Limit, One More Time.
How much of the Davie audience has shifted here??? Tap like😅😂
I actually *moved* here
I prefer to *slapp* it
I love them both, I have option to follow both right? ^_^
I love Davie, but I often prefer the less talk and more playing approach of Charles. Sometimes watching Davie videos can feel a bit exhaustive and repetitive.
Idk how you could shift channels, they are different, and if it weren't for davie Charles wouldn't be as famous as he is at all, plus I slapp is better than tapp
What an amazing bass solo you composed at the end. The fact that it's the last one you write before parting with that bass makes it quite poetic too, thanks for sharing that!
What I'm learning is that there are many-many really gifted musicians out in the world. This video brought this fact home for me.....WOW!
as a guitarist who Really appreciates an awesome bassist, You slap some serious low -end sweetness. Hail to you for all that I have witnessed so far. \M/
Oh my, the last one, goin from Megalovania to The Lick to some Mario Kart-esque thing. Amazing
Thank you :)
Wait, another Ling Ling reference?? I can smell a TwoSet Collab anywhere in this room....🤔🤔
two set violin confirmed
TwoSetBass
I don't recall twoset collabs outside classical/traditional genre, it'll be cool if they do
GemYellow they did with nyan cat drummer or something like that (metal drummer)
I love it how you and your guests are having so much fun...very cool
omg that final solo you played actually hit me in the best kind of way! It had a final fantasy mixed with legend of zelda kinda feel to it. Incredible!! Keep it up brother.
Bet he gave the bass to 69 guy not because he was the best, but because he really needed a better bass and Charles decided to support his creativity and talent. Which I think is the right move to do, but I would've given it to the Mario Kart 8 guy at the end. No doubt.
Wise choice
Omg the farewell solo made me tear, man ur just amazing player.
What a lovely video. That's pure Culture and Enlightment. The final song brought tears to my eyes. I just loved it!
I loved listening to all the players here; but the last song (your rendition), so, so beautiful ~ My heart is delighted, thank you!!
10:25 I cant freaking believe you watch TwosetViolin Too!
Lots of people here I suspect
But that was the actual channel name.
@@pein6317 But he really knows who Ling Ling is,he even make a reference to Ling Ling in his last paganini video
@@ryantube8762 no I mean he didn't intend to make a Twosetviolin reference here, just that.
ayeeee twosetter
nice TwoSetViolin
reference!

Whoa, there's a lot of talent out there. Kudos to everyone who took part, including the non-bassists, every one of them were great.
I watched numerous other 8-string bass videos and they weren't all that inspiring,,, BUT THEN,,, I saw a couple of your videos and they killed me! I started playing 8-string bass in 1968. I bought a Hagstrom as soon as I heard about Noel Redding playing one. I was playing in a loud trio that played a lotta great gigs opening for everybody who came through Florida. I played 8-string on about half of our tunes. I played thru 2 Ampeg BT25 heads, each driving a cabinet with 2 SRO 15's. I had one amp on both sides of the stage and when they were loud and clean they sounded like octaves played on a grand piano. I even bought a second one as a spare, but one night they were both stolen from my car. I started playing bass and guitar in Mudcrutch about then, so 8-string wasn't really needed. But I've been wanting to get one again for recording and if there's ever live music again in my lifetime, I'd love to play some aggressive music on an 8-string. Anyway, Charles, you're a True MoFo! Thanks, cuz I needed to hear something as good as what your videos dished out!
Charles "that-was-really-cool" Berthoud.
00:46 This is some of the best bloody bass line ever... I watched that solo like 5 times in a row, amazing!
I’m just barely a beginning bassist. This was bloody amazing to watch and listen to!
Ur final solo brought me to tears! Thank you!! You are an extraordinary musician.
I rarely liked as much a video as this one, I was smiling the whole time ! Thank you Charles, you're my favorite bass player ever, I like your compositions, personality and even the editing of your video :) . I was very surprised to see so much very high level musicians responses to your battle, congratulation to everyone here :) . My favorite was the first one, I was blown away by his solo, thank you ! PS : High five to the overtone singer, I am myself a teacher of Mongolian singing :) .
Yeah definitely this challenge was extremely entertaining. A goldmine of riffs, licks and amazing skills from everyone!
Thanks for appreciating the little overtone lick :-)
Thank you !
Davie504: Slap god Charles: Tap god
Choose wisely. no pressure...
Wanna see the holy tap of charles lol
Now Who FingerStyle God?
Charles is both a better tapper, snapper and finger player than Davie
Even then, Charles is a better slapper
8:39 My favorite part was when Mario Kart was about to start... This guy was clearly sitting in the first place position and the NPCs were prepping their blue shells. Absolutely gorgeous lol
Your videos have become some of my absolute favorites. I watch at least one every day, and sometimes 4 or 5. You guys have taken Bass to a WHOLE new level, and I enjoy every bit of it.
I've been a Professional Musician since 1965, playing up to 16 instruments on over 50 Albums, but my stretch went into being a Multi-Instrumentalist. Maybe if I hadn't gone that way I'd
M A Y B E be as good as you on one of them. I also really enjoy your humor and flair for the dramatic. Thank you for this GREAT video!
As a lead 6 string guitarist I totally enjoy watching guys play bass and other instruments that I don't play so well. I do play the bass but its not not my main axe, and I dont have the bas techniques as these guys. I get bored with watching guitar soloists doing the same old same ole. I love seeing the Bass played like a symphony. Great work y'all. Keep up the good work.
this is the place to see symphonic bass, that's for sure.
Oh Charles, you hardly ever fail to give me goosebumps! You are The Dooo among bassists in that regard. Maybe you should do a collab with him. He seems to be a genuinely nice person like you and is a very talented guitarist. Aaybe you even already know him from TH-cam :)
Wow. There are some seriously talented bassists out there. (And overtone singers.) Loved your closing solo; great use of the Picardy third.
You are awesome, these musicians all crank, the world these days just needs more musicians.
would like to hear the entire composition of the organ was so cool, Charles you bring out musical greatness in people
That megalovania into the lick little segment of that performance made me audibly go "OOOHHH!!!" in real life, props to the guy!
Thank you!
YAS!
It would be nice, if the 69guy takes this last piece and turn it into a chapter two where the speech of music continues for this beauty lady.
Unbelievable! What a brilliant yt video. Such brilliant musicians. Thanks so much Charles:)
8:34 That sounded like the beginning of megalovania
I was just about to write the same
it is megalovania with the lick
It was intended xD
than the LICK bruh
The last bass solo that you played, was the the most epic and most melodious bass solo I've ever heard #Charles.
Well done bro, keep it up, I am your subscriber too.....thanks alot.
Watching made me pull the bass out and give it another slap. Thanks for the motivation.
That last solo you did on the prize bass was amazing and wanted me to bring out my instruments again. Thank you a lot, Charles.
Too bad the keyboard guy didn't go ham on the bass...
Unfortunately, my bass playing skills aren't quite good enough to go ham :/
I play bass since summer of 2019
@@midapiano Ah... its just that I think it would totally complement your insane keyboard skills, and you would've won IMO.
@@PainkillerDCXVI Thank you, I will work on it :D
@@midapiano If it's any consolation you may not be the best bass player, but you are totally the writer of the best arrange! Musically it surpasses everything else in the competition!
@MiDa those chords were sweet, my friend. Stunning arrangement. And you played the LICC.
This type of video is great!
*Liked!*
for me,the high point of 69 guy's response was the ending harmony, bloody excellent. loved the keyboard arrange though
Just Love listening to all you Talented People out there.....WOOOOOOOOOOO!
I'm a drummer but I sooo love the bASS community, love watching Davie, you and others.
Brilliant solo at the end. You truly are a top tier musician. Like proficiencies =100%!
I love the creativity of all participants. Thank You for that joy!
6:50 Antonio Romero absolutely killed it! Definitely think he deserved the dub!
First I thought yeah his entry was very good but I had to give it another listen before realizing how excellent his timing was.
Timing is what makes the bass shine, technique is one thing but timing is deciding it all in the end.
Definitely deserved it
Oh my God that last solo at the end is amazing. Why do you always make me cry?
What i love about this kind of videos is that very good players can make music together, even if they are apart. Magnificent.
But i would have loved to see a theremin response though.
Incredible stuff. I love this channel!!! Talent for dayzzzzz 👏
My first TH-cam musician whom I subscribed! You are a champion mate. Love from down under
