Dude, this shit was so fire that I’m gonna learn it on a damn synth

[adrianlayman]

NO F'ING WAY!!!! It is SO hard to hit those notes PERFECTLY, otherwise it sounds terrible with the effect pedal on. INCREDIBLE JOB, sounds like the BEST STAGE EVER of a MegaMan

[breakthecode]

This has boss music written all over it. Would be a dope track for a game.

[KasumiRINA]

This sounds like Command & Conquer music, love it!

[SunnyJCR]

I'd buy an album that's just Charles being creative with this style... God this sounds cool.

[funkyfresh]

Can we get a longer version? I would line up to buy this album.

[carolusrex]

I want an entire industrial metal album with this as the main instrument.

[Dirty-D]

One of the best things you have ever done! It had a MUSE vibe.

[bluedogguy]

Sounds like it would be an excellent soundtrack to something action-packed.

[hanyodossta]

If I hadn't seen this played with my own eyes, I would have sworn that a keyboard was involved. That is one of the coolest things I've seen done on a bass, and it is hugely inspiring.

[mcjesus]

That was the tastiest sounding set of licks ive heard yet. That is exactly my style. Please make more of that. I love how diverse the songs you create are from one another. Its truly God Tier bass playing.

[URCompliant]

Unbelievable. Best bassist on planet earth! That's some John Wick soundtrack stuff right there!

[TheOczkowski]

I loved that little nod to Muse. Chris Wostenholme really pioneered a lot of today's synth bass playing!

[c.theodore]

That's insane. I'm pretty sure there is a world where Muse would bring massive hits back with that kind of pedalboard. As always, you do a wonderful job to make the bass shine. These vibes. Ah ! So great. Could even fit so well for bands like Rammstein ? Charles, you made my day once again !

Would it be possible to have some insight on the pedals & the mastering behind all this ? Pretty please!
So far, I can recognize
- Darkglass Adam bass distorsion bass
- Behringer Bass Synthesizer BSY600

If someone showed me just the audio and said this was part of a new Dream Theater song. I wouldn't have doubted that for a second. So good dude!

0:07 the character is investigating the shows biggest mystery and is about to solve it

[Chris-isxb]

Insane.

I'm 61 this year and have been playing music for almost fifty years. Your talent and innovation are incredible and inspiring.

[DragonDb]

This sounds like I'm in the 8-16 bit era video games during a boss battle. Would love to hear you put together an entire album with that in mind. Can't wait to hear more!

[BillTheCat]

The tapping/ hammering in the higher register reminds me of a Jordan Rudess keyboard solo... in the best possible way!
In a word...OUTSTANDING

Geddy Lee is watching and is impressed.
