Guitar snob: Sees "Guitar Center" in title
*TRIGGERED*
Just coming at Davie504 like that he's gonna challenge both of you to a slap bass battle
Music is Win EPICO
BASS
BASS
SLAP LIKE NOW
Thanks for your words of wisdom Adam
@Adam Neely what's your opinion of Warwick Bass' and 6 string Bass'???
🅱️ASS
Adam: tries out bass
*B A D G R O O V E*
Tiago Lageira bad as in good
that’s a baaaaaad groove
He meant “bad” as in Michael Jackson Bad
@@Matt__bain no, he didn't
Slap like now
You know you’ve made it as a bass player when an older black man calls your groove “bad”
Sean Conroy should have replied with an “ok boomer”
st3r (read my username)
st3r Your bass playing being called bad by a black dude wearing dungarees and a hat, who visits guitar center with his hot, at least twenty years younger wife is probably the biggest compliment you can get.
That guy surely knows the true meaning of groove!
Words can’t even describe how disrespectful and arrogant your stupid little phrase is.
You should get a pair of nice La Bella Flatwounds and test their strength, while dangling from your nearest bridge.
Yeah that phrase totally suits my 28 year old self.
I could give you the same advice with the bass strings, but to spice thinks up a little I’d like you to step into your nearest river and take a nice deep breath full of fresh water.ٴ
Ro Lux ok boomer
When a musician says, "it's not the guitar, it's him!" That is the HIGHEST compliment. It's saying the chef is beyond the ingredients. Awesome stuff
“Actually, its not the guitar. It’s in his hands”
Ahahaha that dude who was jamming and then switched to watching adam play is awesome
That's BAAAAD groove!
Yeah dude I just wanna jam with him. You can tell he would just be cool and encouraging
Yea he was a kool kat. Jazz or funk player for sure.
Yes
The legend... the myth...
Adam "The Situation" Neely
Yuri Ismael highly underrated comment
I love how much this works.
Jersey Shore
Shit I thought of this exact same joke like 2 days ago
Gettin' it on in The Smush Room.
Adam: Plays groove
Me: That sounds nice
Man: That's a baaaaaad groove
Me: That's a baaaaaaaaad groove
Bad in this context is a colloquial term for “good”, look at the woman’s facial expression 2:10
@@AndromedaEleven congrats, you figured it out
@@AndromedaEleven no shit sherlock
@@tichan1878 nah, like 1/20 people here doesn't get how baaaaaaaaad it is
that’s a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad groove
The Chipotle across the street is always a must after going to the 100 Oaks location.
Love you channel
Damn, fancy seeing you here
Wtf are you doing here
Which one of y'all comented this
Don't you mean Baja burrito? Baja is way better than Chipotle.
Adam: What we need is a Jazz bass
Also Adam: goes directly to 2 P Basses
Whenever I am looking for a specific kind of guitar, i will at first check out all the other types to finally arrive at my intended destination
@@KramerPacer2 basicly you stall so you get to spend more time playing
@@benmoran6642 Works on girlfriends too. Never go directly to the destination or you might find your trip cut short.
For recording you gotta have a P!
Scrolled through to see if anyone was going to comment this 😂
Impresses everyone with the tapping part
That one person in the corner of the room
Hey can you play a song though?
I can tap and shit but cant play a song
I work in a music store and this is me 100% ha ha. Getting pretty tired of blooz noodling for 8.5 hours straight every day
That's everyone who doesn't know shit when you try to show off a riff you just learned. Basically the musical equivalent of backseat drivers.
Me playing guitar for anybody: “can you play a song though?”
“No. Leave.”
My best friend has a tradition in his family where they go in blindfolded to buy their instruments. They bring someone else in with them to hand them different instruments so they’re not influenced by the brand or the look or color and all they hear is the sound and all they feel is the instrument. I went in blindfolded with my friend and he handed me a ton of different basses. Some of them I played for a long time some of them I just noodled around on for a few seconds. When he handed me the bass that I ended up buying, I just played an open E one time and the words thats it fell out of my mouth. When I took the blindfold off I was holding an American P bass. It’s been about five years now and we’re still going strong
You should start planning the marriage
Adam Chabot At that point... I don’t think it would have mattered brand wise. Sounds like a few extra steps for a basic pick, but hey! More power to ya
...and this is how I accidentally got my first Strat ladies and gentlemen.
@@fireemblemistrash75 did you hear the point flying wide
Mace Koshmot I read it. Was a difficult wall of text but I read it, also don’t drunk reply like me
P Bass is litterally immortal. It's like "I don't give a shit about tone flexibiliy. Because my tone is already the greatest tone you can have. I, DO NOT NEED, TO CHANGE"
Yeeessss 🙏
I like the split coil sound, but lately I've really wanted like the 51 style P bass. I don't play bass in my band, I play guitar, but my girlfriend (yes I'm dating the bass player lol) plays the bass in our band, and I honestly like bass more I'm just better than the rest of the band at guitar basically, anyway I think that would be like the perfect, punchy P sound that our lower end would love. All our tone has to be perfect.
Fender American P-Bass is the king of bass.
It's long been said that the P bass is a one-trick pony. But:
a) this pony does its one trick remarkably well, and
b) that one trick works every damn time, no matter the situation.
...or you can have both and play an active, million-knobs bass with flats/dead strings. similar tone with all the added flexibility. that works well for me.
"actually its not the guitar its him" LOOOOL 3:54 ................. man love this guy he plays soooo nice!
Wholesome people are the best people
Yeah that guy made the video lol
He didn't said bass, he said guitar.
@@brujos3443 you right man.. actually didn't think about that.. that's the way I understood it 😆😆
@@davidochoa120 loool are you a bass player?
“That’s a baaaaad groove”
It really is.
Yep
Absolutely
This is why I love the bass community. There are always some nice old people in the bass section of a store that will respect you no matter what. They’re so fun😂
Name that bass EVE
- because it was chosen by Adam
Well yes, but Eve was not really CHOSEN by Adam, was she? Not like there were other women made out of his rips to chose from. :D
@@lazylegolars well not woman, but Eve is Adam second wife... Lilith is the first one
DROP THE MIC
@@aleivag nah, Eve was adams first wife. Eve was made from one of Adams ribs which is why In the Bible it says Adam and Eve
Nice
All this video really taught me is that Guitar Center employees don't really like answering the phone...
I used to work there. You'd be suprised how often it rings. Alot of the times there will be multiple lines being used at the same time so the phone isn't necessarily ringing, it's people on hold while we searched for instruments they wanted, info about gear etc. Etc.
I was there last summer during vacation. The dude there was uber helpful. Walked away with a nice Yamaha Acoustic/Electric. Can’t wait to go back next year.
it's true dude. I have a lot of friends that work there...they let that shit ring till the store manager *makes* them pick it up
@lionsasbirds this is also true. GC customers are super demanding. And the commission structure for employees really fucking sucks. The insane return policy really fucks that up for them
There funny thing is that in retail, when it rains it pours, right? Plenty of in-store and over the phone customers, and we're usually somehow slightly understaffed for the situation.
There are other times where it's a total ghost town and luckily I've got things I can take off the walls to clean, tune, or adjust.
I love how I can’t even afford a new bass and I’m here watching this
Heyyy me too
I’m saving up for one still not even halfway there to buy a Squier lol
Yo dudes, save $10 at a time. Adds up fast. Buy used. Learn to ‘luthier’.
scottiboi1983 definitely. I’ve worked my way up and now I have 5 basses and 4 guitars. I’ve bought used and I’ve fixed them all up. I have some amazing stuff like an old 1984 SQ squier Strat.
I don’t even play bass
"So this one right now has like a really really high action." Yup, sounds like Guitar Center.
Height records: 1) Mount Everest 2) guitar center actions
When I got my stingray shipped in from their warehouse I swear the action was about an inch high
Imagine trying out basses in GC and freakin' Adam Neely walks in. I'd just set my bass down and watch the magic.
Brian Esposito you look
Up to the wrong players. Utubers? No guys that tour for years.
@@Utubewrk123 who cares how much he tours or whether or not he makes TH-cam videos? he's a skilled musician either way
@@Utubewrk123 he's a great player and teacher.
@@bjnvrtv5488 yeah I'd pick Adam over nearly every other bassist in the world.
@@Utubewrk123 lol. You can’t even spell TH-cam. He’s a great musician and why do you care who people look up to? If they inspire people to be better, pick up their instrument more, and expand their knowledge of music, they should be looked up to.
ADAM NEELY SLAPPED THE BASS
Frickin' finally
I just like he doesn’t resort to slapping a lot, a lot of people get stuck at slapping, hell I even did
@@worstghosthunting3466 Yeah that's true. But damn, he just slapped the bass properly for the first time on camera (in my knowledge)
@@danielfort4345 yeah i have seen him slap other times but he seemed much more held back before
*SLAPP LIKE NOW*
What kind of fish is useless in the band?
The *Tilapia*
You thougt it was the Bass, but a Bass is very important to music in general.
A Tuna
the tilapia
LOL
I dunno, Tilapia has a lot of sustain...
Lewmas idk man, the Tuna might be more important.
@@guitareater6975 if we don't have a tuna everything goes down haha
When you showed the Ibanez one, you perfectly described what they are made for: Fast playing, with basically every tone available. Also, the lower models, like SR300 or 305 are extremely affordable.
I can vouch, my buddy had an SR305 back then and it was amazing to play, even as a guy who wasn't even good at guitar yet (my main instrument), much less bass.
I have a GSR 250 and I love the thing
I have a SRFF806 Ibanez and its an insane instrument, pure Madness.
Love to play that thing solo, but most of the Time 6 Strings are too much imo.
1:14 you can see the actual 2018 Les Paul (sunburst, second to last on the right) that I now own.
Oh shit lol
Congrats! Looks killer!
Really, that’s yours? damn, you got fine tastes
An identical model, or the specific one from that store?
Awesome man
Recent Adam Neely subscriber, he might be the most competent musician I've ever seen.
Jacob collier, dude
@@MarsLonsen very good point.
Both Jacob and Adam have the firmest grasp on music I have ever seen, Jacob is scary talented and he is without a doubt a musical genius, but I wouldn’t count Adam out of the conversation
@@garrettlee1756 I think genius is a bit much. He is a respectable musician, but I don't think he is truly the musical god people make him out to be
The Real M&M I didnt think so either until I watched him explain Harmony on 5 different levels, and he had a long section with Herbie Hancock, my goodness it was astounding
9:20 - "Bohemian rhapsody" in the background
Tyler: "De-mo-ne-tized" :D
BTW, I think I like "Sick snow" the most from your EP ;)
Robi_CK thank you for leaving a time stamp for this
For a second I was worried we were going to get through an entire guitarist's video about basses without him playing schism.
I came back to this video just to tell Adam THANK YOU for opening my eyes to the possibilities of sliding harmonics on bass. I dont have a fretless bass, but the past couple of days i figured out how to do it on a fretted bass and i absolutely LOVE it. Such an amazing tone and technique.
man, my local GC looks ghetto compared to that one.
man!
Glen Burnie GC is in the hood
Same
dgmwitz the one I love is in Towson, that’s where it’s at. My least favorite GC is in Laurel though
My MD people! The Laurel GC is definitely the worst I've been to.
BAD GROOVE! That's a BAD GROOVE
Gotta love this guy and how he probably doesn't know who he is dealing with!
assolutuhlee
it really was
Bad in jazz lingo means good
That old bass player dude was the best part of this video
So, I work at guitar center and the whole tag thing happens a lot. We slide the tag half way under the strings so the tags don't flip backwards, and then someone pulls it off to the wrong side, pulling it under other strings. It's never fun to fix. We definitely don't tie them under the strings.
7:50 nothing like a bit of dueling banjos
Watching Tyler slap followed immediately by Adam slapping made me realize that I slap like a guitarist, which sounds like the bassist equivalent to "You hit like a girl."
Same. Fuck.
The pain is real
When I saw you guys pick up that fretless, I had to grab my fretless and give it some love.
which model did he play..? shopping for a fretless currently.
First time I've seen Adam Neely slap
I feel like it's something he can do because every bassist should know, but not because he particularly likes it
I ve seen him doing it on his own channel, but yeah rarely
I will love for more Adam and Tyler collabs. As I have said, two of the most prolific and knowledgeable musicians on TH-cam is quite the treat. I also want to see Adam convert Tyler to Bass lol
RC32 and Rick beato and Sammy g and become the knight and Rudy Ayoub and kmac
@@clarencebeaks1315 Become The Knight is a clown.
Reynold Adamson how? I like him.
@@clarencebeaks1315 He's knowledgable and a very competent musician. Knows his prog metal and music theory. However, he is insufferably close-minded about other music, which is fine. We all have our expertise and favorite type of music.The problem lies in his sincere belief that he is intellectually superior to people who like pop music (and basically any other music he doesn't like). He's the type to objectify music and says his opinions as universal truths that cannot be refuted, and the type to attach intellect to music taste. He calls himself a music snob when he doesn't have any understanding for music outside of metal, and has an overall disdain for pop music, even going so far as to make more videos trashing low-hanging fruit pop music instead of talking about music he likes. This is the same guy who got popular from reacting to Fine Bros videos. Reacting to Kids reacting to whatever pop music he hates. He's petty, immature, and has an annoying superiority complex.
If y'all wanna hear a Fretless Bass in action. I highly recommend Individual Thought Patterns by Death.
Barefoot Desert by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard is also great
TallicaMan1986 or just any song with jaco pastorius
@@ameliasteynberg5841 yes!
Also Obscura, Cynic, or anything Dominic Forest Lapointe plays on
Or anything Seru Giran, its a great Argentine band that you could give a shot.
The bass section at this GC is about 400% better than any in Baltimore, MD.
The “scratch and dent” sales are a joke. Store in Houston was trying to sell a casino with a neck that was 70% cracked at the neck pocket for $50 off and refused to go under 350 when I tried to deal on it. The poor manager kinda had that “I know it’s fucked” attitude when the infamous green screen wouldn’t let him do better. As well as when we discussed how unethical it was to keep that on the shelf without disclosing it.
I work at a guitar center and the amount of sketchy shit that goes on behind the scenes here is insane it’s no wonder we go bankrupt every few years.
@@shorts-xb1op I worked at one from 08-10 full time and 11-12 part time and can only imagine how much worse it’s gotten with the several changes in ownership / corporate level leadership since. The end of my full time tenure was the transition of the first big change when the company merged with all the other online retailers / partners involved (vague terms so I don’t seem like I’m speaking out of my ass just remember they were bought or bought some brands around that time)
It sucks because many old friends still work for the company or left and came back so I still see old coworkers at local stores and they know I know the gist of how it works and thus understand the limits of what they can and can’t do. The only real bummer is when I worked there it was understood that we were not to flaunt deals or cost flip products but buying something for a close friend now and again was no biggie and now even that seems locked down. So while I’d love to give my friends the sale they know I’m not paying 3x cost for something simple like a boost or OD pedal. Or a cheap piece of pro audio gear, etc.
Like you said no wonder they go bankrupt every other quarter it seems. They really need to adopt the oops I opened the box policy some other stores have with the way old inventory sits waiting to be written off. Not to mention the dumpstering and destruction of stuff as stiff policy
That's the quietest I've ever heard that guitar center. I tend to go to the brentwood/cool springs one for that reason, and they're normally more friendly, but the selection isnt nearly as good.
We're lucky man. What other city has 3 Guitar Centers, a Sam Ash, and all the vintage guitar dealers. Sometimes I make a day of it an go guitar shopping all day.
Brentwood? Where’s Brentwood?
Bibbidy Bobbidy Bam Boop Winebottlearse Brentwood is right outside Nashville, Tennessee
Roy Newcomb I much prefer the Sam Ash up in Gallatin(?) to the Brentwood GC. At GC, I felt like they saw me as a person to sell something to, but at Sam Ash I felt like they actually cared about me.
I really like going to Nashville Used Music on Nolensville Road. They have a pretty good selection of new and used stuff and are super cool guys.
That Mint Green PJ on the wall in the back looks like it's right up my alley. Vintage colors with all the modern tools and qualities you could want.
Thats 50s P looks insanely good as well though. Precisions never fail when in doubt on what bass to pick up.
4:30 Scratch n' dent discount? Thats a broken body. More discount paalease😊
Can we talk about the guy in the overalls though? 😂😂😂
Old blues guy...there still out there
Handed a bass with a low B: immediately plays a numetal groove
We need jazz basses
Goes straight to try a P bass
Adam: * thinks he'd end up with a jazz bass*
Adam in the shop: *tries 2 P-basses and two active humbuckers and only one jazz bass*
I have been playing bass since I was 9 years old about 38 years and this video finally sold me on precision basses. Love Adam Almost's playing. Love that he is so deadpan and strict looking and impossibily dedicated and well practiced but is actually kind and lovely and has insane groove and funk. Top boy! Thank you for making this video.
I love how you are trying near thousand dollar basses and I'm over here with an almost all black Dean bass that I don't ever know the model of
My heart skipped a beat when I saw all of those sg's
you guys work so well together on videos, interesting and entertaining, thanks guys!
I love how Adams bass abilities are just respected by all people all the time lol
This exact guitar center is where i bought my 7 string :p
I admire adam’s groove, I hope someday I’ll be as groovy as this legend
First bass video I've ever seen that I didnt stop watching out of boredom. Nice job Adam at making bass interesting
Wow, Adam is such a versatile and accomplished musician. It’s amazing to watch. He sounded incredible on that fretless.
The bass community in guitar Center is so friendly, everyone supports each other, good or bad, you’ll always get a compliment :)
The guy with the hat and overalls was the coolest one there
I love it when my favorite TH-camrs do videos together!
That bassist in the hat is amazing lol.
Also... I pray for the day when 1.) My guitar center rotates it’s inventory from literally only Fender and cheap Ibanez, 2.) stop high action basses, 3.) ROTATES INVENTORY
I occasionally revisit this video just for the "bad groove" guy
I‘d love some funky slap groove in one of the next Sungazer songs.
I have one of those SRs, the SR305e, I honestly love it. you can get literally any tone out there, great for playing a plethora of genres.
I love this demo, he doesn't automatically go to "slapfest" when picking up a bass. You can tell that he can play without the sense that he's showing off. Very rare for Guitar Center.
If all of Adam Neely you experience is his youtube videos (which is totally me) it's strangely easy to forget that he's an outrageously talented bassist.
WHAT YOU BOUGHT AN INSTRUMENT IN A MUSIC STORE WTF BRO YOURE CRAZZZYYYYY
I like that you choose a Mark Bass combo! (I have that Player Club and it is fantastic.)
Literally just bought my first bass last week. Fun stuff guys. This is the collab we need but don't deserve.
Noone:
Adam Neely: I think is gonna be a 5 string jazz bass.
Reality: 4 string P- Bass.
P Bass is always the answer
Honestly I’d go for the Ibanez, my sr505 is the most comfortable instrument I own and the sound is sublime. Personally I love the looks too, even though I know some aren’t keen. It’s a real shame they don’t make the 650 and above as left handed, I’d have 10 by now.
there is always an extremely chill human being on the bass section at guitar center
I have the ESP B205SM that’s right behind them the entire time, SUCH a great bass!
I forget how insanely good Adam is sometimes
I like how u capitalised the BASS and GUITAR in title
haha more if u can! ur 2 senses of humor gellin out. Diggin the villans series!
That first bass he tried, the blue/green p bass with the maple neck... I have that exact bass! I love it, glad to see it was at least considered by a pro!
"Doing a Thing in a Place it is Commonly Done"
And you still watched it. Mission accomplished! lol
"How to buy a left hand bass at Guitar Center":
You don't.
Simply Impossible
This is my Guitar Center! Cool to see you guys in there.
I’m watching this video to remind me of how fun going to guitar center was in the before times.
Whenever you use a pick on a bass... a big, brown, beaver dies!
Does it belong to Winona?
Jason Newsted uses a pick when he plays bass.
John Entwistle disagrees
@@luketuke02 Entwistle used a pick? I don't believe he did. He probably did sometimes. Picks are great on bass, just as good as fingers, depends on the song. Being imo the greatest bassist ever, he must know this
And Davie504 calls the FBI on you
i'm not even a bass player, what am i doing here!?
...not yet
Any instrument is a bass
Adam is funky as hell on that red bass
Loved that classy groove guy at the beginning. Just wholesome
"We might end up with a jazz bass situation" *proceeds to buy a p bass* also he *SLAPP* maybe for the first time in a video. Epicc!
Name the bass "Compassion" because it's a positive character trait.
The last one was clear winner. Also I can’t stop watching Adam on TH-cam.
For some reason it always surprises me when I remember that Adam is an amazing player.
Neely is a such a great musician. He’s a terrific player but there is a difference between a player who can wiggle their fingers mightily, and a musician who can translate their thoughts and feelings into coherent, compelling musical statements. Mucho respect for both you guys, a tip of the cap if you will 🧢
Tyler:
We're in a situation
Me:
The perfect situation
I so love the guy who joins in the conversation and watches
Holy shit man, Adam you're an absolute killer on bass
6:08 Rare footage of Tyler playing *SLAPP* 🅱ASS
2:07 there’s always that one guy
I don’t know why i keep coming back to this video.
If I can’t find anything to watch, i always end up watching this video
Even though I just started out playing that red one made me want to pick up bass that one sounded so nice
About a year ago I brought some friends to this GC and my friend picked up the second bass just to play seven nation army and nothing else. It's a shame that Adam played such nasty music on it like that
I'm gonna buy a bass
Walks into GUITAR Center
Bass is short for bass guitar
Bass Center sounds like an EDM band
I wish there was a Bass Center
Yeah, he should go to the fish market to buy a Bass next time.
I hope you ate at Baja Burrito right across the street from guitar center. That place is amazing!
