It’s not even his skill anymore that impresses me but the fact that Charles can still give that drive to a bass solo and still make me vibe to it every time, I think his composition is very overlooked when compared to his technique!

That's because he actually knows music theory. And knowing is half the battle. He's def got the skills to back it up. Full package right there.

The exact point I've made before! Charles is that rare bassist who is still a pleasure to listen to despite being a technical master. He somehow mixes raw talent, theory, and ear perfectly every single time. He's def my #1 bassist alive today. I wonder what he'll do next? He can't make youtube vids the rest of his life. He's too young!

That's given me flashbacks to a gig where the plan for the intro was for the guitarist and violinist to do a rope descent dressed in tuxedos from a balcony while me (bass) and the drummer played the dum diddle dum dum bit of the Bond theme. Violinist got his rope tangled, couldn't get down, all the audience could see was his swinging legs... me and the drummer just kept on playing this Bond riff for about ten minutes until they untangled him... possibly the most Spinal Tap moment of my playing career....

With 0.07 seconds remaining! You certainly have the Goldeneye and the Goldfinger to SLAP that bass, Sir Charles. I'm thankful that it was For Your Eyes Only for The World Is Not Enough for that View To a Kill. If Tomorrow Never Dies, I'll gladly Die Another Day so I can once more hear The Man With the Golden Bass!

Holy shit! That’s like a lifetime of funk being squeezed into less than 4 minutes. Really dope! I’m surprised his right hand fingers are not completely covered with blisters by now considering all the intense slapping and tapping going on here.

3:46 And the timer also stopped at 00.07. Well played James Bass. 😂

My personal funkometer exploded at 2:40

I mean the funk level is through the roof!!!!!!!! I may have injured my neck from all the head bobbing 😅 Just amazing 🤩

This is freaking incredible on every level - the playing, the arrangement, the tone, all of it. This dude is phenomenal.

Because of you I picked up my bass again and I started enjoying playing again. Thanks for all the fun videos charles! Keep up the amazing work!

Awesome stuff, always amazing to see what you can do with originally simple songs.

A pleasure to watch, Mr Bass, as always! And Chapeau Bas(s) for that bit of Palpatine at the end 😜🤣

Imagine enjoying doing something that much... This fella must be one of the happiest people on earth.

Wow! That last chord gave me goosebumps. Very well done, sir, as always. Keep up the good work!

Acting level double-oh-my! Good work man! Love it.

Charles can take any piece and make me want to hear it on repeat for the next 24 hours straight

The love the funky bass sound.... The bass has always been my weapon of choice....

The end part with the sparks was cool. I had a dream almost exactly like that once. I had to get off of a spaceship and the only weapon I had was a guitar, but no pick, so I couldn’t break the walls of the spaceship. Then I found a bass and I was able to slap a bit and did some damage but still couldn’t breach the walls. Finally, somehow, I got a guitar pick and I was able to shred and slice through the walls of the space ship and jumped out back down to earth.
