I agree that Jaco would for sure dig this. You were completely true to the bass composition while adding a really fresh sounding rhythmic pulse and very nice ambient accompaniment. Just learning this piece from the master is a monumental achievement - it is a beautiful beast. And you've made a very tasteful and virtuosic tribute here. Well done and very inspiring!
.....Jaco's been gone for almost 30 yeas now, but his spirit is still going strong.....this song, like so many of his compositions, has so much "meat on the bone"......a wealth of bass playing treasures......and you have "dug" down, and with some perserverance, have recovered some of that gold.....your video did my heart good....fantastic playing, Mattia......keep on keepin' on......
Absolutely phenomenal. Jaco's original makes me feel like I'm in a gentle rain under a lamp post at night, but your rendition comes straight out of an alternate dimension. Well done.
really inspiring performance! you played the solo as Jaco recorded it as well! that is discipline and homage to the greatest master and innovator of the electric bass that there ever was. bravo!
oggi come oggi sarà una citazione forse inadeguata ma mi sento orgoglioso e felice del fatto che a suonare una cover così sia un bassista italiano; in bocca al lupo Mattia.
Wonderful! It shouldn't have been easy to "restyle" such a classic master piece, but despite all the odds you surely came across to, you succeeded in making it incredibly fresh yet close to the original and expressive! BRAVO!!! Not to mention you are Italian too ... we live in a Country of incredible bassists :-) go ahead this way!!
Oh, that’s a really nice interpretation, I must have heard Continuum literally thousands of times in many different guises, and much like an early commenter I ‘know’ it intimately and somehow you made it boogie in a way I’ve never heard before, thank you for a new flavour on and old and well loved favourite.
Wonderful job bro - how you manage to keep the octaves in tune while sliding around is beyond me. I see you've got similar thumbs to Jaco. Anyway, one of the best arrangements I've heard - your hard work paid off on this one!
Learn it? As far as I'm concerned he's the true owner of this song with his mastery of it. Jaco's original just didn't have the same power this man has achieved.
Excellent playing! However, I do admit to preferring the slow tempo. This song has a certain melancholic mood. Jaco was a master at getting the mood across. Thanks. Nice bass btw😊

That was amazing, i know this song by heart, you did a great job and very refreshing how you put that groove in there. I think Jaco would be proud.
Koen Klijnsmit thank you Koen for the wonderful words!
+Koen Klijnsmit Agree. ..
Complimenti per il tocco e la precisione, immagino le ore,i giorni e i mesi a studiarla. Ottimo risultato

I love this interpretation! And, that bass guitar is hot.
Yes, I think Jaco would have loved what you did with this. Beautiful work
I think you missed a note… no, wait, I double-checked… turns out, that was friggin' flawless.
Sound is very good. Nice performance, brother.
That was wonderful! Thank you for what might be the best 4 1/2 minutes of my day.
Fabulous playing, and the best sounding fretless I have ever heard.
Just fantastic. A wonderful re-imagining of one of my favorite tunes. Bravo, Mattia!
Absolutely phenomenal. Jaco's original makes me feel like I'm in a gentle rain under a lamp post at night, but your rendition comes straight out of an alternate dimension. Well done.

Ridiculously cool.
Seriously musical!
good work from one bassist to another
Thank you colleague!
So fire!
Muy buena interpretación!!!...
Thanks Gustavo
Great restyling of an already well made song.
Great! awesome.
Thanks!
Amazing cover! How long did it take you to learn the song?
Thanks Greg! about two months
Learn it? As far as I'm concerned he's the true owner of this song with his mastery of it. Jaco's original just didn't have the same power this man has achieved.
This version sounds amazing
Truly felt like Jaco 2018
Outstanding!
Thanks!
Fantastic Cover!!
Frenz Ferruz
thanks
Fantastic man!!!
Phenomenal job...!
collinsc1786 thanks

Complimenti, bel tiro!
+Jaco Melli grazie jaco!
finally someone who played this song just the way it is! Perfect video bro xD =D
Awesome, dude. Love the sound especially. Been practising this one m'self for a while, but can't nail the faster passages yet. Nice job!
Great job!
Damn, that was absolutely awesome! You have just given me and my drummer something to work on.
Thanks I'm very happy for this!
👍👍👍 from 🇰🇿
Excellent playing! However, I do admit to preferring the slow tempo. This song has a certain melancholic mood. Jaco was a master at getting the mood across. Thanks. Nice bass btw😊
Sick man, I love it good job!
+Patrick Nagel thanks Patrick!
