Kinga is an absolute legend. Good on you for featuring her on the channel.

This one made me cry when I first saw it years ago. My best friend had just passed and we jammed a lot together. This really reminded of him.

Good luck on tour & thanks for featuring Kinga…

[Laytar]

It's a very cool arrangement! I am so glad you reacted to this because otherwise, I wouldn't have known about this version; Kinga has a nice style!

[matthewwallace]

Charles! I absolutely LOVE your whole vibe. You're an eager teacher and learner of all things bass guitar. You shine spotlights on other like minded bass players, you applaud what they do, you are open to learning what they do, and that takes a big heart and an open mind. Well done and thank you.

Brilliant content Charles


Congrats on the convivial and mega-chilled Beato interview

Love Kinga Głyk's playing. Incidentally, "ł" in Polish is pronounced like a "w", so her surname is pronounced "Gwik". (Polish currency is the "złoty", pronounced "zwotty".)

Jeff Berlin is one of my all time bass heroes!❤

Crazy, just found her channel last night.
She's the bomb, thanks.
Stay safe.Peace

I remember when I stumbled upon this video by Kinga. I was dumbfounded. She plays with so much feel. One of my very favorite bass pieces.

[DominusFeles]

Kingas version of “Wake me up” always cheers me up, hot tip everybody!
It’s always fun to see my favourite female bassist getting exposure, Kinga being one of them together with Julia Plays Grow and Mai (Agan) Leisz to name a few - that you all should listen to immediately if you haven’t yet 😄

[carolinehaf]

I konda like how "busy" it sounds... I learned it on guitar when it first came out jn my early teens and it was one of my dads favs but always made me sad and still does now that hes passed... this gave it some joy I needed to hear. Beautiful!

Doing more reactions, specifically fan bass reactions like you used to, would be great to see! I’m just one person, but maybe other people would feel the same. Seeing a great bassist and personality like you break things down is always fun

[joachimschwarz]

Halleluja! Somebody reacts to my favourite basspiece. Waited years for this! Thanks!

[randychadwick]

I had never heard of Jeff or Kinga, so I'm glad you did this video. Great arrangement on this song. I'm always amazed at players like you and Kinga {and Victor, who I've seen in concert many times} and your ability to turn the instrument into something really special.

[zoecorman]

I'm really liking the technical analysis. Thanks

The jazz bassist covering the original song's internal monologue: "Skibbidy-doodaah, duh doo-dee-doo-dee doh doh, mah kid is doopity doop-doop, dabble dab dab!"

[billsmith]

Basses LOADED ! Home run, you all hit it out of the park !

[craigbirchfield]

Thanks for featuring Kinga. She is an unsung hero of the Fender Bass and deserves more exposure. Like most great musicians she makes the difficult look easy.

"Is 3 basses enough?" may be the most rhetorical question I've ever heard. Particularly from someone that played in a stadium with like 500 bassists.
