🎉What a thrill to see this performed! I have the album, it’s classic! But it’s exciting and instructive to see great music played live! Great writing, great musicians, great video!🎉
Yo that drummer is nice with it
dat displacements are killing
He also plays with Snarky Puppy. Jason JT Thomas ftw :)
And he can sing!
pocket for dayyyyys!
I thought it was him!
I have a 50s reissue Fender P-Bass, sound is just pure classic, timeless
These fellas are TIGHT.
Khalil Mason Damn right, they are!
yep
Man sometimes you just gotta love a good ol' p bass
bass is sexiest instrument x3
100%
This is why it is seducing me away from guitar.
Absolutely
I dated a girl who would literally get aroused by music with prominent bass guitar.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Music for musicians. That's why I like it. I like it a lot.
After so many years of bass innovation there is still nothing better than a good old p bass for me. My favorite bass I’ve ever owned
It’s a Moollon P bass. I’ve got a Moollon J bass. Incredible and so fun to play.
My fender p bass is my no.1! Played many gigs with it this year and its gonna get me through music college 👍
It is a Moollon but you could pick up an MIJ Fender from the Fujigen factory 80s to mid 90s for 1/4th the price and it be just as well crafted an instrument, even better than most MIA. A good P is a good P, always play before you buy.
My first bass was a Squier P Bass. (30 years ago) I traded it for a passive dual pickup Alvarez then moved on to an active Peavey dual pickup. A few years ago I got into Fender Jazz basses and now I'm itching for a P Bass. Does it ever end?!?! haha.
This is amazing, and a great lesson in economy and tightness over flashy and showy.
Yes! Much better than 10000 notes per second
This is the bass sound I looking for... This is the real natural sound of a real bass that exists... The precison bass rules!!!
Marcos Nobre If you listen carefully you'll hear he's using an octave pedal for that low end growl
Martin Heath yes, I heard it too, but this sound effect isn't at all the music... Or not? I thought had heard a natural precision bass sound too...
@@martinheath5947 I think he might just be using that for the solo
He kicks in with the 8ve right at 1:53 when switching to a new part. It's a bit subtle, but you can hear it when the bass notes are in isolated places.
Damn straight. You save time and money by just getting a P from day #1 and sticking with it.
Frankie Boyle rockin that bass
BassistBirnie I actually thought the very same at first. These guys are too cool.
BassistBirnie Forget Mock The Week..... This definitely is Rock The Bass
BassistBirnie fact!
I looooove this bass player's style!! Slight shades of Paul Jackson, groove for days... THIS...is BASS!!
Nice, I had to pause and go get my new headphones for this one.
1:43 that's totally something mad
GREAT band- and of course the sweet Moollon too in the hands of this bad ass fellow on bass!
Rufus Philpot when Rufus Philpot compliments your playing, you have officially “made it” as a bassist.
This is tremendous Scott!! Thanks for sharing, you'r the best!
1stly P bass is the best bass - Leo Fender got it rite the 1st time. 2ndly people saying "it's not that dirty" have no clue, please stop, dirty in regards to guitar among guitarists is overdrive or an overdriven amp and this is what it sounds like (the title didn't say fuzz into fuzz into fuzz into phaser into cocked wah), stop trying to be so smart your silly and just enjoy.
Drummer is sick
JT don't need no stinking pocket! JT *is* pocket!
Fantastic! Also Kevin's beard perfectly matches with the golden p-bass pickguard ah ah
What is that pedal laying next to the electro harmonix pedal?
Wow, thanks for that. You get me listening to artists and music I might never hear otherwise. How much music is still recorded this way, live in the studio? No cut and paste editing, just as many takes as it takes. No click track, just a great drummer. Musicians playing together in real time, in the same room. I am loving it.
Have you checked out Scary Pockets yet? All their music is recorded like this.
Let me know how it goes:)
Too much fun!💖
And I can recommend the little Ampeg bass amp and cabinet. I got two of those 2x10's and the little stack sounds real tight and Ampeggy. Every soundtech loves this one. You won't break your back and your back with this one! In combination with a P it rocks and Souls! :-D
Agree totally, I run the VR through a 67 2x15 Ampeg/Altek cab that I rewired to 4 ohms. It rocks,, I use a 77 P and a 71 fretless J. Ampeg rules.
fun to Jam to. Thanks for posting
Nice drum playing
Try John Wetton circa King Crimson live 73-74. End game mean bass monster tone. I'd have to play like Fripp so as not to be gobbled down by the bass tone.
Most powerful bass tone ever, period, full stop. Especially in '74.
Glad I'm not the only one who thought he looks like Frankie Boyle (that's high praise coming from me)
Turned the beat around and everyone lost it 😂😂😂 We've all listened instead of counted before
Gasp! A P-bass tone that I... Like! Maybe even LOVE! I didn't know anyone made good sounds with P-Basses anymore.
Huh?
Most of the modern music I hear played on P-basses sounds (to me, obviously I'm not the norm) like schite, it's like they go out of their way to make their P sound less like a P and it winds up sounding to me like either a cheapo toy bass or a fire-breathing sasquatch bellowing on steroids while farting through an alphorn (way too hot and mid-heavy, in other words- like a natural P tone boosted all to hell). This is a pretty damn good P-bass tone. Sounds like what it is, not too much of it, and raw and a little bit gnarly. I like it. Sounds a fair bit like my Warmoth Jazz basses (fretted with a 1988 Japanese Fender Jazz Bass Special neck, fretless with a defretted 1985 of same model. Don't get all bass justice warrior- the bodies and electronics were pretty shoddy on both of the ones I bought since I just bought them for the necks) with EMG GZR-P pickups. Growly and fat, I like it. I have one of those Ampeg Micro-VR rigs for my passive basses, I guess that makes sense. I play my Ernie Ball Music Man Sterling H and HS (fretted and fretless, respectively) through A Gallien Krueger MB210-II.
There's a man who knows his bass well.
For everyone asking about the "Poop" pedal, its most likely a Boss OC2
If Genesis and Pink Floyd had a baby raised by the Funk Brothers . . . .
Saw Kevin with Gov’t Mule a couple months ago and he absolutely killed it!!
Don't let this distract you from the fact that IHOP changed their name to IHOb
Ah... FORQ that.
International House Of BASS!!!
I liked Wendy’s response lol.
But will lines get any shorter?
Really...?
After 44 years I traded down my SVT to a VR,, I see Kevin using one. For the life of my ears, I can not tell the diff as to the tone. Ampeg nailed that stompin little bastard, 150 into 8, 200 into 4,, and an XLR to go straight into the snake. Thanx Ampeg,,, oh yea my back thanks you as well.
Serious funk!
The less you play,the deeper you can dive.
As a young gun, i have tried to wiggle my fingers around the kneck, anytime i had enough space in the song.
Here is an amazing example, for playin groovy and not to much.
Nice tone, I don't agree with the "dirtiest EVER" though.. Ray Shulman of Gentle Giant gets that prize in my book (th-cam.com/video/UM-yGcpaY_4/w-d-xo.html). He has a crazy dirty and powerful tone.
Saw him with Warren, he was using a Stingray most of the show and was crazy how good he was, I spent most of the show just watching him (and I usually focus on other instruments cuz I am drummer and guitarist).
Boyle those bass strings!
He also plays with Eddie Roberts in "Matador Soul Sounds", doesn't he?
Im lovin it!
This is the kind of music I want to play when I grow up... He says at just post-50 years😉
Just phenomenal.🤯
Prog Rock! Man, don't know why there isn't more bands doing this. This is one tasty number. This soup is so thick, it can be eaten with a FORQ!
Does anyone know what pedals he's using? I hear an octave pedal but there's something else.
Daaaaamn!!!! That's so freaking awesome. I'm watching the Starsky & Hutch TV series DVD boxset and this sounds awesome over it
This is the funkiest Frankie Boyle standup special I've ever seen!
Two members of snarky in one room. You're blessed
McQueen is the only puppy in the room, isn't he?
plutin Jason "JT" Thomas on drums
Prefer rather a clean Bass mainly for my double Bass.
The Duck Dunn sound was my teacher from the first tone.
The next Marcus Miller
Guess my age 🎉
It's blues with a Meshuggah-esque rhythmic pattern. Haha. Nice.
They all look like a bunch of dads! I love it!
Wow this would actually fit in well on the Outbreak Dennis Chambers album
Stoner rock points if you were a Kevin Scott fan back when he was with Albert Simpson and Highly Kind.
Oh my....!
Fucking filthy!!! Gonna go have a bath and just sit in the filth water with a straw and drink up as much of it as i can, then go throw out my jazz bass.
Oh dear Lord that's funky! I got the bass face just listening.
really refreshing, solid, simple holding-it-down bass playing, with attitude. Love it!
Scott: IMHO, a great p-bass sound is all about phat, and had nothing to do with that clackity tone you seem to like
Guitarist slid sideways into a bit of Holdsworth, sounds like
I had no idea Rodney Mullen played keyboards
MEN AT WORK! Do you understand what I’m saying? WORK WAS DONE HERE IN A GOODLY FASHION!
This guy makes the P Bass look small
Drummer has some tasty fills!
Hey guys, I have a question. At 7.55 Kevin s saying : « Jimmy something was a mentor ». What’s the name of this Jimmy, he is referring to. I am french, I can’t get the name because of Kevin’s accent. Thx for your help
He is referring to bassist Tim Lefebvre.
Thanks :D
Do most bass players reading this prefer say, 4-10” spkrs, Vs1 or 2 12” or one massive 15”? Or would the setting and type of music dictate that? Thanks.
15" please :)
12"s
Memories of the Headhunters. Love it.
I need to know what Pedal this is. He calls it "poop" Pedal, but that did not bring me any further.
Probably a Boss OC-3 octave pedal.
That P bass stinks of funk!! ... matter of fact the whole band is funking up the joint..
What octave pedal is he using? Oc2?
8:03 Not sure.
Saw these guys live last month when they warmed up for Snarky Puppy.
Kennet same! Saw them in Hamburg :)
Reminds me of Meshuggah. haha
i saw this guy grooving with the warren haynes band and he was so sick. so fluid and fast with his plucking fingers but also so smooth.
Saw him couple days ago too, I could not believe my eyes and ears, he was pretty much soloing most of the songs, insane skills and feel, how I didn't know about Scott? Probably very underrated.
Keys dude looks like Larry Gouldings with a wig
th-cam.com/video/yiPQzm9tXEk/w-d-xo.htmlm22s is really wicked durty!!
Play that funky music...💥🎶🎶
Yes Yes Yes!!!
Looks like 25 people are mad jealous of Kevin Scott. LOL
Edit: Make that 42! Man, that's a lot of jealousy!
Man.....they really stretched it out there a few times where I secretly had stink face wondering and hoping that ALL would recover and land on their feet at the same time on the next measure.
That drummer is freakin AWESOME!!!!!
That is so freaking cool man!!
Saw them at The Rex with Michael League - mind blowing
Not that Kevin deminishes the mind blowing in any way at all - killer
Yo! Would love to have this recording on a legitimate platform so I don't have to use TH-cam to listen... Killer session, where can I buy it?!
Love the Ampeg mini stack!
Absolutely, man ;]
Love Moollon p bass, want it so badly.
Didn’t know Frankie Boyle played the bass
Make my p bass sound like that! Take my money!
The pignose 7-100 in the background, when used right those amps are incredible
P-bass + Octaver = Pure s3x
I recognized the dude before I recognized the name. I've seen him paired with the always tasty Wayne Krantz, eg:
th-cam.com/video/ornbl4lqBQ4/w-d-xo.html
2:43 ... What a Groove! What a tone!
Douglas Xavier just NASTY!!!
Loving Chris McQueen. And was that a mini-boob by Kevin at 6:05
Plus bassy listens to Pino. He even does the signature Pino head-thing that Pino does so stylishly.
That guy could pass for my twin. And ironically we both anchor our thumbs on the p bass pickup when we play. Lol.
Octaver for that dirty sound. I guess Boss OC2?
Has this genre been named groove porn yet? Because that’s what it is. It’s almost as if someone set out to disprove the notion that groove is the most important thing in music. I’m a lapsed drummer and a wannabe bass player and I love grooves, but I think I still like songs more. Nice p bass tone anyway.
what is the time signature on this one?
This was recorded in front of live studio audience 6:54
Awesome!!!!!!!!! but the Bass is about as dirty as a Dettol wiped kitchen worktop. great bass tone non the less!
Holy hell, what a killer jam. These guys are pros of the highest level
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!!!! That groove tho!!!!
I’m not knocking the guys they sound amazing and super tight, but the dirtiest P Bass ever really!
Hmm. Maybe this one? :D th-cam.com/video/vULgqDEDbiY/w-d-xo.html
