Man, The Omnific opened so many possibilities with the bass. I mean, you play bass in a not conventional way. Thank you. Your music will inspire many other bass players!

As a 56 year young bassplayer and not into prog i can say this is amazing. Both technique and melodic. Love it!!🤩

[johnbilicki]

As a bass player, you have shown me an entirely new world of bass playing i never knew existed, hopefully ill be able to get this (may take me 10+ years, but ill get there)

Okay, that resting your thumb on the piece of fret board sticking out is pretty helpful

[proddreamatnight]

I would absolutely go nuts to hear you guys collab with Animals As Leaders

[AndrewKlinger]

I now have a blister on the side of my thumb. More of these please!

[FemboyMcCoy]

This is both very informative and rad as h*ck, everyone say thank you Toby

[Asthmos]

thank you sooo much for this video. i got my first bass a few months ago and i was really interested in the notes you weren't playing and couldn't quite figure out how you made that sound. ive been playing guitar for a long time, and i feel that beginners spark again that makes me want to do what you do. super impressive

Its mean and groovy at the same time, beautiful use of slap!

[ThyAsianMan]

Sick! Now all I need is a 5 string Dingwall to practice it.

[Victorvonbass]

Hey great tutorial. I'm saving it so I can learn it when I have a 5 string.


Question, do you guys recommend any specific 5 string basses to look into? I could save up for a Dingwall but it would take a while. I was thinking of getting a 5 string this year finally since I love a lot of newer bass stuff like you guys, Polyphia, Chon, etc.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Oh.... so it was

Is there a name for how the frets are arranged on that 5 string? Haven't seen that before so anything you can tell me about it I'd really appreciate

[desert_sam]

Me: *Grabs 5 string and plays this for weeks*

[benjaminnewell]

Never thought the side of my pointer finger would be sore from playing bass
