It’s actually really weird seeing Davie out in the world interacting with other people
I didn’t like it bcz it has 69 likes lmao
Cause he is not laughing
What's even weirder is that he has legs.
With headphones!
"interacting", I see your using that term very loosley.
If Davie goes more than 24 hours without bass he dissolves into sound waves. Thank god the octobass can sustain him for months
Yeah....
Octobass is basically a tool of a god of bass(Davie)
the theroy of wave particle duality states we are not only particles but also waves. no dissolving necessary.

"Hans Zimmer sampled the octabass" That is the least surprising sentence I've ever heard.
He’s got an addiction. That’s for sure.
Question from a listener only, so no experience with electronic music production - can you get these samples anywhere for your personal use?
@@abavariannormiepleb9470 Lots of companies sell samples. Spitfire, Cinesamples, VSL, etc. But be prepared for the prices.
If anyone wasn't already aware: Zimmer used the samples on the Dune soundtrack.

I love how the tour guide didn't even skip a beat when Davie brought up the 36 string bass. He was just like "That's really interesting. Tell me more." True music nerd solidarity.

When Davie labels the theremin as "not bass," I love the little disappointed whimper that the instrument makes as he walks away. Just like, "...aww."
I do love Davie's commitment to the character. Watching him try not to be himself is really funny.

NOT EPIC
I met him on omegle. it was unreal it was just so weird. Because I auctally spoke to him
I love how Davie is just walking around being a living bass meme the whole time.
Must have been so hard to have to try and pretend not to be excited about all that
@@sir.grumpypawson6598 Exactly. Davie says he hates guitarists but then collaborates on shred songs with the best KZhead guitarists. He's a good egg.

Davie's kid is born, he holds the baby in his arms and stares at it unimpressed. He turns to look at an invisible camera and words: "n o t b a s s." Returns the kid to the mother and exits the room.
I feel bad for Davies girlfriend
Or sister
Or mother.
Nickname or creator. Who knows
Actually really dark.
@10:20 when Davie was staring at the octobass, the music chorus music is from the 2001 movie scene where the astronauts were first viewing the Monolith. Cool reference.
I live in Scottsdale and a couple month after watching this video, I went to this museum and it was AMAZING! If you're a musician of any sort, amateur or professional, this place is a must! I had a day off during the week so I got lunch with my mom and we went over to it for a visit and there is so much more than you see in this video. Maybe 6x as many rooms. I think their collections come and go from time to time, like maybe they have long term storage somewhere and change the exhibits because I went looking for the Tommy The Cat drums but I didn't see them. While I was in the guitar area, I was telling my mom the story of the Martin guitar smashed during the filming of The Hateful Eight when suddenly a man appears from a hallway and starts telling up more about it because it turns out he was one of the employees of the museum (curator? I forgot) and he knew someone at the Martin museum back when it happened. Just an amazing place to visit. I was there for about 3 hours and saw roughly half of it. I'll be going back for another visit in a month or so. If you live in the greater Phoenix area and haven't been here yet, WHAT ARE YA!? Get off yer rump and go there. NOw!
That Tarantino story is so crazy lol. How do you mess that up so bad? 😂😂
I live close to the museum and I am going soon
This puts into perspective how tall Davie is and oh boy he’s tall
He's 6'7"...
He's 2 meter
He reminds me of Krist novoselic
I did not know he was this tall until this video lol
He looms.
The whole video is just Davie trying to hold his laugh.
Really weird to see comment that has 1.7k likes with no weird arguing about some weird things
Yea

@@Nythron_IVdude, too political
Davie smiles and has dimples here - 3:35 5:45 6:15

In a music museum they should let people bring their own headphones and put QR codes near every instrument leading to a recording of it playing so people can hear what they see
That’s a great idea actually. I second this!
I'm convinced Davie is actually a robot designed for bass.
He is a Bass

Once you develop a base of the type of instrument, you have a lot of knowledge to play just about anything. Just need to navigate through. But, nonetheless to say, hes an amazing bassist.

He has a strong Musselini vibe he has to keep up.
Of course, he tried to SLAPP it. What a majestic instrument.
Every instrument can be SLAPP if you try hard enough.

Those self playing instruments were epic
Nothing compared to the Marble Machine X. That's insane. kzhead.info/tools/cXhhVwCT6_WqjkEniejRJQ.html
What's crazy is I was at Robert-Venn School Of Luthiery while the guy who built that upright harp bass was building it. It was fantastic to see his work.

Stereotype: "Italians are all short." Davie504: "I'm about to SLAPP that stereotype's whole career."
FOR REAL LIKE, HE MUST BE DAMN NEAR 7 FEET TALL
2m or around 6'7
Incog2k6 “Italians are also TOO emotional” Davie504: lmao. not epico.
French were short. Napoleon Bonaparte told me.
Actually, its a stereotype for Southern Italians. Northern Italians like Davie are often tall and gaunt. Most Italian migrants were from the south which is why sometimes stereotypes get mixed up.
13:30 - dooooope! The vibes makes me wanna sleep... so relaxing.
So on the wall to the direct right of the Bass is a small glass display that features the worlds smallest, fully playable violin. It's incredibly delicate, but I wish we could have gotten a look at it as well since it's so hard to find good info on it. It's still really cool to see the Bass being played, since after I had visited I hadn't even known it was used in actual orchestral pieces.
You mean... there's a chance someone really played the world's saddest song on the tiniest violin?
his voice is so soft when it's not edited like on his channel, it's adorable
Nah..its just less BASS.

On camera. Of course he laughs with them when no one is recording a video. And even in recordings he cannot avoid laughing, just look the censoring.
