Man i saw this dude play live and it fuckin blew my mind man… Jesus Fuckin Christ… I never knew you could be on the bass what this cat became… It was fuckin disgusting… When he started soloing i wanted to fuckin throw my chair on stage and sucker punch the elder black gentleman sitting next to me… Dude was screaming and singing each not that he solo’d… agh my god it changed my life man… I never looked at the bass the same again

HE DOESSS HE DOES play the bass upside down I WAS SO CONFUSEDDDD

That is SOOOOOOOOO difficult!!!!!

Yoooo! Why is it that almost every bass player I know(myself included) play brass first????

i guess one could say he is an EDEN fan!

Thanks, Jimmy is a wonderful musician and persons.

Very good video – very good bassist! Great!

someone who plays funk i guess

What’s a funkster?

@alstrand I agree. Playing the instrument using a nonstandard technique is often a good way to discover new possibilities, even if by accident

is it just me or did will kennedy not say the same exact phrase that Ferrante said at 3:54 ?? and im sure will said it in reference to Ferrante too lol..

their description of each other isnt very innovative or ground breaking is it?

I guess we are all different. I play what I hear in my head. It doesn’t matter what bass I play. The actual sound of the instrument dictates what I play because a different sound quality often inspires me to play different things. Playing 5 string allows a greater range of sounds than 4 but I still play what I feel. So in the end I guess you should change “we” to “I” because each of us is different and we cannot claim to know how a different instrument will effect someone else.

- I respectfully disagree. I think how we play depends greatly on many things. I’ll play a long scale Fender way different than a short scale..It would be interesting to learn to play upside down..the high notes on top.

It doesn’t seem to me that playing the bass upside down should make a difference. It’s all about what you hear in your head and how you feel the instrument. To that end a good musician will play what he is going to play and adapt that to the instrument he’s playing. I don’t find Halsip’s style unusual at all. He has his own sound as any good, imaginative musician does.

@langerzoriginal, that’s something from their upcoming recording coming out in March, but I don’t know the name of the songs.

Definitely one of my favorite musicians of ALL TIME. Saw him play with Holdsworth twice. And that opening song is “Freda” from the Yellowjackets album “Greenhouse”, and that entire album is definitely one of my top 10 favorite recordings of all time and I listen to it regularly. No one else sounds like him.  That tone is incredible.
