    Super cool. I like to see players who actually enjoy it instead of just showing off. Plus, that shirt and the Miles Davis poster.

  3. Mike Matthews

    Great job on a great tune – cheers!

  4. BJames

    Repetitive and gay. Go back to the 80’s.

      I don’t really think that enters into it, but you might want to cut that word out of your vocabulary before it earns you an ass-whoopin’ on the street someplace. Sorry, not every video can be Limp Korntones. Doubly sorry that you are so immature as to troll a site like this.

      Repetition can be part of being a good bassist…

    Sounded excellent , as to BJames rude remark, your initial’s are BJ, we all know what that means.
    I bet you Karl could open up a can of whoop ass on you but has the consideration not to do so.

  6. Great job, Karl, and with a tune that I absolutely love!
