Chi and Fieldy are the best bassists in their genre imo. Chi's feel when playing is amazing, to be able to play that stuff underneath Stef Carpenter's Meshuggah-gone-numetal riffs added this extra layer of harmony to their sound that they don't have anymore.

The bass line in Change is so good

Chi’s bass playing is what made the Deftones sound

Chi added a really cool dynamic to the band that I think they really started to miss with Sergio. I think it's mostly because Sergio was probably told to play along with the guitar more often and didn't really show his face in the music until they made Ohms. Sergio is a great bassist himself but he shines way more in Quicksand than he did when he was with Deftones.

I agree he added something Sergio does not but maybe they are happy with that.

Yeah chi was known to do his own thing. Really found a way to stand out in the wall of sound.

I love this video series. I watch them all. Even the ones on bassists from bands im not interested in. Not to sound corney but It's always interesting for me to see how a musician expresses themselves through their instrument

*Finally Chi!!!!!!!! He's One Of My Favourite Bassist Of All Time* 😍🎸

Thanks for this video - love Chi Cheng!

CHI WAS THE SAUCE BEHIND DEFTONES SOUND ... RIP \m/

I thought white pony was all in drop c?

Thank you! Great episode.

This is awesome. Good job! Chi is the best!!!

Fantastic. Really enjoy these and sound advice on dealing with guitarists. 😂

one of the uniques

Great video. Straight fact ,no fiction. You deliver only,what s important. And showin the bass lines ,is a cool part of your video. Thumbs up.

Very cool, thanks for the vid

Always interesting to watch these Bass Habits videos. I have no idea who he is but there is always something to learn.

great video

Nice video, mate. Can you do one about Felipe Andreoli (Karma, Angra and the reserve bassist of Sons of Apollo)? Cheers!

🖤

The records after Chi are great but Sergio lacked that Faith no More groove aligned with Abe’s drumming. Much props to the new dude Fred for playing Chi bass lines with groove live and clean.

It would be great to see a Bass Habits video on Tony Levin, his bass playing with Peter Gabriel and King Crimson is amazing

Great stuff as always. Could you do a video on brian ritchie from violent femmes hes a superb acoustic bassist. Oh and tommy stinson from the replacements cheers

Paul I would love to see you do Mike Watt👀👀👀

Please make a video of Paul Barker from Ministry

Thanks for video, and the breakdowns, the deftones for me was part of music getting good again, everynight at 11pm was the daily countdown my own summer and the beautiful people. amungst other hard rocking aggressive music, what ever you want to call it, in your playing I noticed a blue pick around your thumb what is that? i love playing with a pic but hand problems I cant hold on to them very long, again thank you.

RIP Chi !

You could get a 4 string p bass down to C#? I bought a 4 string fretless and I wanna try to get it to C or C#

long scale and heavy gauge strings are the knack, I've got an ibanez 504 I keep 55-110s on for C# standard or drop C playing along with a perfect circle, mastodon, system, etc.

You can definitely do it. I’d recommend 50-110 for C# standard although you could probably use standard gauge down to drop C# (C# G# C# F#) as long as you some basic setup work.

@@jamesperkins6720 I have a 5 string fretted stingray that I can use for APC, one of my favorites, but I wanted to try the fretless specifically for some of the White Pony stuff. I almost bought a 5 string fretless but I much prefer to play 4 string, although I am warming up to the 5 string stingray. Thanks!

I keep a couple 4 strings in Drop C

I'm a huge fan of bassists who write something that compliments the song and don't just play what the guitar plays. I think that's incredible stupid and short sighted to tell a bassist to just follow the guitar. The bass line is a different sonic region in the music and deserves to be experimented with just like the vocals and the background ambient synths and pads. The guitarist is just jealous because he's not the star of the show when he has to share it with the bassist.

0:39 Why tf is Around The Fur slowed and lower? 1:23 Wax and Wane is not on White Pony, duh! His 5 string bass tuning is G# C# F# B E

Do you think he used drop f# as well? Because he uses his 5 string bass on SNW songs like Rats!Rats!Rats! And Rapture live? Cuz Stephen was tuned to Drop F#
