Like this stupid comment.
"To bad your's grammar and spelling was as awful as penis"
No more of that nonsense, especially from a total newb with 26 posts. Please.
Thank you.
This guy looks pretty cool with that big bass and all those strings but I am not hearing anything that couldn't be played on a 5 or 6-string. There is no playing concept and he is not doing the job a bassist should in a trio situation.
I suppose that if this were a tool forum and I told a guy that he shouldn't use a power saw to hammer nails with, you would consider it bashing.
Videos like this reinforce the idea that basses with lots of strings are best left for "Spinal Tap". If this is considered negative or bashing then musicians have really lowered "the bar" over the past 30 years.
I see the same thing happen everytime. A bass player gets a 7,8,9,10,11 string and quickly poses with it before taking the time to learn how to play it. This guy misses the point of having 9 strings.

I agree with you, but sometimes it's nice to see guys like him.
I've read your posts at Yves Carbonne's forum about that "posing" using ERGI understand your point of view, it's extreamly professional, as it should be, but I think it's bad only have ERG and use it as standard guitar, but I think also a real player will be always on top, no matter what
Growing popularity of ERG, I hope, give us a real professional players, maybe not today, but maybe in future. Personally I think those "posers" with ERG/ERB will fall, because maybe it looks cool, but it sometimes harder to play the same using ERB/ERG than using standard guitars, espetially when this player really don't know what to do
instrument is bigger, neck is wider etc....
I think also it's much harder to be good ERB player, than good ERG player. There're great ERB players like you Garry, Ives Carbonne or Jean Baudin and it's much harder to be good looking and themAnd in ERG world there aren't as many ERG players, so it's easier to be noticed

So all 9 strings have to be used at all times? Maybe he uses it more on other songs.. not likely but just saying![]()
Judging him as such is kind of an unfair assessment without seeing everything else he played during that set. Sometimes I play 6 string songs on my 7 when jamming with my band and ignore the top string, sometimes I play stuff on the lower 3-4 strings, and could get away with a down tuned 6. It's the fact it's there and accessible should you want to use it that's the point of an ERG, I figured you of all people would get that.
Let me ask you something. Do you practice your guitar? If you do then why bother if this kind of ERB performance is considered good?
