Forest just has laser tight precision. although he did write the song so i guess its all in the way that you play it. no my EQ is not flat. Im only using the bridge pickup on the bass and have the bass boosted a little bit and the treble turned back just a hair. The thumb does contribute a lot of the sound though. i feel that this is one of the most perfect sounds you could have for a fretless bass.
Does that model have a thinner neck or is it the chunky one? I love the sound and look of warwick but the one's I've tried are very uncomfortable for my medium sized hands. I've heard they make thin neck models but I'm confused as to what in particular to be looking for. Sorry for the rant. Just subscribed. You're killer.
Absolutely. That said, fretless bass is objectively very hard to play well (because of the intonation), and a 6-string even more so. Fretless musicians usually spend their entire lives perfecting their intonation, because faster music will always have tiny flaws and you can use subtle changes in expressive ways. I'd love to rip the frets out of both my basses, but unfortunately most non-bassists are stupidly fussy about having the 'fretted bass sound'. If you only play fretless bass, you'll seriously be rejected from many (if not most) bands because of it, which is incredible.
marco escalante It's a great instrument, in the right hands. If people over-use the portamento and don't have their intonation down, it can sound typical of the cheesy slightly-out-of-tune fretless bass from the 80's. But in the hands of a good player who's practised A LOT, it's an incredibly expressive instrument and will hopefully one day become more standard. Glad you like it :)
That "weehhh wmmmmm nnmmmnmmm" is so awesome :D But I prefer a more thick,strong sound,that's why I use Marshall.Warwick is also a great company! But I don't use a fretless,cause I don't like that...jazzyness :D
Incredible cover dude. Regarding the intonation, it's pretty fantastic considering how ridiculously hard the left-hand work is. Those shifts would be a nightmare on a fretted bass, but getting the intonation perfect on a fretless.... phew! Despite certainly not being a better bassist, I would like to make one technique recommendation: try to keep your plucking fingers closer in when playing with 3 fingers. I say this because I had much the same issue for the first few years of using 3 fingers, and I've found that when I'm able to keep them closer together I get better accuracy and endurance. I also say this because your 2-finger technique is incredible, and there's a clear gap between that and your 3-finger technique; not just visually, but also sonically. But that critique is out of total respect for your incredible skill. If I do switch to fretless one day (as I hope to), you'll definitely be an inspiration for it :)
Awesome skills man, definitely a great deal of talent. I just think that your playing in this video sounds very staccato, when its more of a legato feel.
CannibalisticZombie I have mixed feelings about the tone on the album for the bass. It fits the album well but my preferred sound leans more toward Alex Webster (take albums like Torture, A skeletal Domain, Red before black, Gallery of suicide and even the bleeding). The tone you used for video also works well.
Great cover man! Cool band to cover. the way they write is so unique to allow the bass player to be the one that is playing around the most with variations.
Zombie just seeing this video and the way your playing is you do very well and the intonation is just good as well regardless of how off it might be its still killer
A new CannibalisticZombie video? And yet again you make me realize I need to practice WAY more to become even half the bassist you are. This and some of your other videos pretty much made me want to get a fretless, soon... Well, your videos and pretty much all Obscura material. God damn I want a fretless NOW.
From my experience it doesn't matter. If you use the same strings with the same pickups it should sound be pretty much the same volume. Most bassists, however, simply don't play as aggresively. That, matched with flat wound strings and a lack of distortion, can give you a quieter signal. That doesn't really have much to do with the bass, rather the style commenly used on it. tl;dr: no
As is your usual way, you have nailed this song!!! Phenominal work as always my good man!!! Jolly good show and all that. Long live the six string frettless bass.
The fact you just matched The Forest almost note for note is absolutely incredible man. Maybe next you can do Sovereign Sacrifices from Equipoise? That bassist is ridiculous.
Your intonation is off here, and there, but it's pretty good throughout. If you want to get it close to flawless, the thing I did to build my intonation on Double-bass was sit there and play scales (of course mine were bowed, but doing them pizz would be fine too) to a drone. You can find some really good cello drones online. Great work as usual.
If I had more money I would've invested in a Warwick. As much as I love my Spector, warwicks are just the way to go. The necks of the few that I've played were pretty thick, but the tone or better yet plethora of tones you can get out of a warwick is incredible
I can't play the entire song from start to finish yet definitely need to finishing putting the time in learning it. However, the only thing that jumped out to me at all was you tapped instead of sweeping the one part. Other than that though, the tone of that Thumb, your playing and everything in-between is super tight and I love your videos/covers.

If metal was a video game, this is the final boss battle.
final boss is the viraemia's bassist probably
@Ефим Тонких Scott Plummer ;) - Though Jeff Hughell could be right up there, too!
@@potrokh6363 well he died soo..
not for guitarists pfff
Kills you In one hit and sends you to the start of the game 😂

and they say bass is easy..everything is challenging depending on how much you want to achive, great job

Alex Khouri I personally love the sound of a fretless bass, but hey at least your have both :)

What about playing the triangle??
I love how this is above Forest's bass video when I type in Omnipresent Perception...
Doesn't count unless it's played left handed :P
i love Quebec. cant wait to go back someday.
Man I LOVE the tone that Warwicks have. Sounds pretty good as a fretless too! Don't know this song but it sounded great.
That "weehhh wmmmmm nnmmmnmmm" is so awesome :D But I prefer a more thick,strong sound,that's why I use Marshall.Warwick is also a great company!
But I don't use a fretless,cause I don't like that...jazzyness :D
GrindCoreLou
"weehhh wmmmmm nnmmmnmmm"
I just find it funny that I know exactly what part you're talking about
Matt Fletcher You can describe how a fretless sounds with those letters XD
its called omnipresent perception, by beyond creation

just tryin to play what Forest plays.
+Dalton Goree i kind of like it better this way :)

Just realized this was released on my birthday. An amazing present of bass godlyness
This makes me drop tears of joy. Extremely beautiful.
4 warwicks, a fallujah shirt, the beard, this song. I can't handle this much badass.
Greetings & congratulations from Mexico
I'm always on the lookout for your videos
YOU ARE THE BEST
Your talent is indeed beyond exceptional, big thumbs up!
Showed this to Forest, He says nice playing and that it sounds really nice with the warwick. :) Good job man.
Dude. Dead on. You're sooo on point. Seriously.
Duuuuuuuuude. Cover some Fallujah songs. Cerebral Hybridization would be tiiiiiight.
That feel when I will never be this amazing at bass.
You nailed it, man! Great job!
A linha de baixo dessa musica é linda, emociona! FODA!
That fretless was badass! Great work as always guys!
Very tight man, great job...pleasure to watch and listen to
I never get sick of watching you play! Especially with fretless I just love the tone it has! Mainly why Obscura is one of my favorite bands :)
The fact that you could do a perfect cover by just hearing the song is very impressive
You look a lot like Varg Vikernes.
***** weren't you in that other video? Were i asked about varg?
***** it fuckin was you!!!!!! I knew it!
***** with milk and far too much sugar, you?
+Mackenzie Hunter I'd say like Bahjeera
I see it a little bit
I wanna give up bass playing after watching this video. (this is a compliment..good job)
Im a drummer and love watching bassists play this song.i only discovered this band 3 days ago and they are awesome.great playing.
Dat Warwick tone ;___; beautiful
That's absurd! Fantastic!
how does this not have a million, billion, trillion or gazillion views???
Nice shirt! Fallujah is one sick band!!
I show you my fully respect!
Loving the jazz tone
Yeeeeah ! Asked for it, got it, I'm happy :)
Congrats as usual !
"I'm not good as Forest" HAHAHAHA that guy is funny... Such a humble dude.
fretless bass is just so badass !!
Unbelievably awesome cover man, you nailed it spot on!!
i was waiting for the solo. hats off man. keep practising you are very talented :)
a friend recommended I see this video
very good
I loved
ooh... I've been waiting for this video....
Unreal dude!
Awesome playing, awesome shirt.
I knew this one was coming. So sick.
YES! I've been waiting for you to cover this, this was one of the best covers I've ever seen, all of your covers are. You are amazing.
Hey, even if it's not perfect, it's a damn good effort.
wow man awesome job especially on that solo!
Amazing cover dude. I really like
no i do not have an endorsement yet. The banner was a gift from my friend who had worked at a guitar shop.
Holy shit! This is such a good cover of the song!
CannibalisticZombie I'll definitely look into those, thanks for the advice man it means a lot
Great cover man! Cool band to cover. the way they write is so unique to allow the bass player to be the one that is playing around the most with variations.
You are really rick man! Awesome skills
I love this song and I love Warwick basses It's feels like the Best videos I'l ever seen and you play the bass like a pro
Zombie just seeing this video and the way your playing is you do very well and the intonation is just good as well regardless of how off it might be its still killer
Amazing!
A new CannibalisticZombie video? And yet again you make me realize I need to practice WAY more to become even half the bassist you are. This and some of your other videos pretty much made me want to get a fretless, soon...
Well, your videos and pretty much all Obscura material. God damn I want a fretless NOW.
i agree, thats part of the reason why i play a fretless bass for my band Decrescent.
man,i have no words for it....
fucking awesome
the only one cover here, that sound and plays like a original song. great job, bro!
Amazing, bro'. I was waiting for this one. Always up to hearing new covers from you.
From my experience it doesn't matter. If you use the same strings with the same pickups it should sound be pretty much the same volume. Most bassists, however, simply don't play as aggresively. That, matched with flat wound strings and a lack of distortion, can give you a quieter signal. That doesn't really have much to do with the bass, rather the style commenly used on it.
tl;dr: no
Sick ass cover as always, keep it heavy!
EXCELLENT!!
there is never never enough!
I sense some baroque drama in that. Awesome as always! Love it!
As is your usual way, you have nailed this song!!!
Phenominal work as always my good man!!!
Jolly good show and all that.
Long live the six string frettless bass.
The fact you just matched The Forest almost note for note is absolutely incredible man. Maybe next you can do Sovereign Sacrifices from Equipoise? That bassist is ridiculous.
Very very well done. I've been hoping you'd do this for a long time.
Badass man. You fuckin ripped that bass solo apart!
Man you deserve so much subscribers
I was wondering when CannibalisticZombie The Great would do an Omnipresent Bass cover... Amazing bro! Keep on!!! \m/
12/10 a sea of tea for this man;)
You playing this will get them more exposure than they've ever had. Love Beyond Creation and I hope this does good for them.
You made my day with this cover! excellent job
You can cover just about anything, can't you?
Awesome. Good job man!
Nailed it man!
amazing
Dude yore very inspirational! love the way you tear the bass up!!
great playing!
Fantastic cover, love the tone and quality- great song
Super damn good dude. This is a crazy hard song and you did great.
You finally did it!! Awesome cover of a wonderful song :)
I KNEW you were going to cover this! Fucking amazing, as expected.
Your intonation is off here, and there, but it's pretty good throughout. If you want to get it close to flawless, the thing I did to build my intonation on Double-bass was sit there and play scales (of course mine were bowed, but doing them pizz would be fine too) to a drone.

Great work as usual.
come on man, this guy is a goddamn master... take a look at the right hand!
I am so happy you covered this song. I approve of the beard as well.
dont think i haven't thought about it !
Thanks AJ- I always thougt this would be a great song for you to cover. And there you go! You da man ;)
i have been waiting to see when he'd finally try some beyond creation
best cover by far
You're my bass inspiration for real.
If I had more money I would've invested in a Warwick. As much as I love my Spector, warwicks are just the way to go. The necks of the few that I've played were pretty thick, but the tone or better yet plethora of tones you can get out of a warwick is incredible
sick man! I love the tone of your Warwick
Awesome bass player!!!
INSANE!!!
Well done dude !
thanks! yes,warwick thumbs have always been know to be pretty neck heavy.
I was hoping you'd made this :D
Takes guts to cover songs like these! Cheers mate!
I can't play the entire song from start to finish yet definitely need to finishing putting the time in learning it. However, the only thing that jumped out to me at all was you tapped instead of sweeping the one part. Other than that though, the tone of that Thumb, your playing and everything in-between is super tight and I love your videos/covers.
