The funkiest slap bass solo ever. I’m speechless…

5:25 how appropriate is the smoke behind him...the guy's on fire! absolutely mind blowing

I don't know why everyone keeps comparing him to mark king... Wotjek has his own amazing style and adds a groove that (in my opinion) is completely different and phenomenal in its own way. The only thing that's even comparable about these two is the tape on their thumbs. Wotjek, you are an inspiration to bass players everywhere. Thank you for all the amazing sounds and harmonies

Ben Schwartz - I Discovered Wojtek P this year, I think, and since then, he has fetched it regularly from the web. His skillful attack on high-price basses with his Atom thumb gives me great pleasure, rarely ever discovering such gold nowadays. But there has been something with him I haven't been able to put my finger on until now. Mark King, of course, Level 42. a group I've liked for many decades. my wife's favorite group. I feel stupid, but I want to thank you for solving the mystery. Where Wojtek learned the way he plays, he has listened to Mark King in Level 42.

Only Mark uses tape, Wotjek uses a rubber grommet. He's obviously influenced by MK, by has his own style

Without a doubt the most awesome bass player in the world,the harmonics in the beginning give me chills,you've excelled yourself Mr.Pilichowski!!

Notice the polish folk know how to clap to get a backbeat- the funk transcends boundaries everywhere!

You have an amazing bass expression. Bravo Wojtek

Tremendous!! I have had the pleasure to hear Wojtek play live two different times at Frankfurt Musik Messe and to talk with him as well. He is a great guy as well as a tremendous bass player!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is he in some band?

I am floored by how awesome he is

The last part of the solo (with the audience participation) reminds me of the solo from Level 42's Mark King from the Live At Wimbley '87 album. Great stuff.

So cool man. It's like he has toms in every tone and he can just play drums melodically. Way cool man.

Amazing. The truth is that you are very good at bass and you get inspired a lot. And another thing, I love the song "Fair of noise", very cool. precious. Greetings.

Я просто кайфую от него.

Dam… he literally beats the hell out of that bass 🔥 🔥 🔥

THIS IS AMAZING

Kicking it I love the gear and bass great sound my friend,my new favorite bass man

Realmente impressionante !

marcusjazzbass i think it's a thumb pick, Mark King used one because he was having problems with his thumbs after playing for so long (and so hard!)

@kacpersvydersky5983

It's kind of leather ring (quite thick), and it protects his thumb, because he may get it damaged because of that hard and fast slapping.

you are a master in the technic you show in your solos. But after listening to a view of your videos I want to say something about it: It all sounds similar... same tempo and the same rythm patterns with percusive muting and slapping...ending with neck bend. Instead of filling these patterns up with even more fiddeling there should come out more the musical aspect to make it a overall better solo - at least for the audience

They Can’t even keep up with the clapping his that fast, good better with out it

Crowd is clapping on the two and four! 30 years of def jam comedy making fun of white peoples clapping has finally paid off!

Kevin Lynch Absolutely! In fact it's like Mark King on steroids! This skill is insane!

Not saying he isn't great, but when you play bass that fast, the notes lose their definition and it just ends up sounding monotonous and mechanical.

ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

Guy is great, but Mark King is better.

Great skill, but show me something besides slapping a bass. There is a whole world to bass other than just some mad slapping technique.

His phrasing makes no sense. He's just a awesome slapper but a great bassist technique wise
