ahpook Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) I think we, as bass players, should be glad he's getting gazillions of views. He's our brand ambassador Edited December 15, 2018 by ahpook 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiatcoupe432 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 i dont think michael manring or jhon patitucci or michael league ever made that much money from playing bass , making a living /career on YT and making a living being a musician is 2 separate things . Davide makes a living doing videos that features a bass guitar the guys named above (just few names but there are thousand of them ) make money playing bass that are features in video (videos being a secondary way of get their names out there . Before youtube people used to buy magazines to discover new bass player, new bands, new sound ...., so for a second just swap youtube for a bass mag for ex so ..... Davide writes magazines about bass and he makes a great living .(probably better then the people featured in the magazine The people featured in the magazine , thats what i care about no who write the magazine. again personal opinion .

fiatcoupe432 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) not this ... great editing dont get me wrong the guy is talented but not even close to what the guys on the video above are doing Edited December 15, 2018 by fiatcoupe432 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Jeezz. . . . there's some arrogant twaddle being posted on this thread. Do any of you know what this guy does or has done? Obviously he has a Youtube channel, but what else? (cue lots of internet searches!) He is plainly an excellent player, with superior technical ability. That isn't magicked out of thin air, so he's paid he dues in one way or another. So with no knowledge of the guy and not knowing what else he does, you feel you can make unrealistic assumptions, negative comments and pronounce this guy as unworthy. Listen to yourselves!! 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Hyperbole on the internet!!!!!11!!!! If only I had been aware of such a phenomenon. FWIW I enjoyed his playing. Nice and fluid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiatcoupe432 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Sorry I did not mean to upset or offend anyone .... and I don't think I did . As I ve said in the post above I ve said that he is talented ! i never offended or said that the guy is not a talented bass player does the guy know how to play his instrument ? Absolutely ! He s he talented ? Absolutely can I play like him ! Not in a hundred years does he move me ? No does he inspire me ? No did I learn anything ?no all I meant to say is that make a living as Ytouber or make as a musician are 2 different things ! Take for instance Jesus Rico from this forum he is also making video on YouTube ! He writes is own music has couple of albums out but he's video they are not edited like Davide does jesus knows how to play bass ? Absolutely does inspire me ? Hell yes does it move me ? Hell yes do I watch his videos ? All the time again I'm sorry if offended anyone 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tauzero Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I wonder if anyone will ask him to play "Walking on the moon" while walking on the moon. He's an entertainer who uses his ability at playing bass as the lynchpin of his entertainment. I don't understand why he should have to play in a band to somehow validate his existence. Or, indeed, why he should give a flying fig what a load of considerably-less-listened-to bassists say on an obscure web forum. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I've always been jealous of this guy's talent. What a player. He's very successful at doing what I tried to do, and failed, ie making a living out of playing bass. Guy's that can do that always get a thumbs up from me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundfreedom Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 Yeah he's definite making it crack if he can afford to fly to Africa, just to play Africa for his YouTube channel. At least he's got talent, which is more than you can say for many of these YouTube "celebrities". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Cloud Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 (edited) The fact that someone considers this impossible makes me feel good because, despite being really good, I don't hear/see anything particularly out there!

lowdowner Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 What I find interesting about this video is how he's not bothering to mute his lower E and A strings at all. When I posted a video of my own playing on SBL (this one in fact some of the feedback said I could with learning to mute my bottom strings more.. so how is he getting away with this where I can't? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
