Which solo was your favourite? 🤔👇🏻

Wow, I can't beleive i actually made it 🤩🤩. I feel really really happy to have obtained the first place, I wasn't sure I was among the best because there were really spectacular musicians participating!!❤❤ I thank all of you for showing your affection and a very special thanks to Charles Berthoud, Charles you are the best bassist on the world, you are a great idol for me and a great inspiration to keep improving, I really appreciate this very much!! Thank you so much!!❤🙏🙏

If the Italian guy had won, you could have declared him to be the best Italian bassist in the world. Epic checkmate opportunity!

Take note - winner is using a $399 bass. No fancy gear is a substitute for years of practice and killer musicianship.

It is important to note that Tiago Andree is currently the best Mexican bass player, in my opinion he is also one of the best in the world, he is only 18 years old, and the most impressive thing: he has only been studying music for 6 years. He is a true virtuoso and absolutely deserving of first place in this contest.

Winner 100% deserved. That was mind blowing!!!

The most incredible thing of all is that Tiago Andree is undoubtedly one of the best bass players today, but when he plays the guitar he can beat any guitarist in any technique and style, he is one of those prodigies that appear every many years.

Thank you Charles, I can't wait to try out those strings! It was a great experience - you inspired me to write this piece and I got to find out about other great bass players. Congratulations to Tiago, he obviously deserved the first place the most, and congratulations to Gab Slap as well! Most importantly, I'm glad people enjoyed our work. Thank you, everyone!

Winner was INSANE that’s not even fair. How the hell can you simultaneously harmonise with yourself at blazing fast speeds with such perfect timing. For any guitar player out there just try playing with your other hand and you’ll soon discover your practically a beginner again. Absolutely mind blowing. That guy has got to be a robot or something

Tiago Andre made EVERYONE after him seem like pre-school level....

The moment I heard Tiago's take I knew it was the winner. Mindblowing technique! It was a fun challenge as always. Thanks Charles!

Tiago got his redemption from the schecter bass comp

Thanks for including me in your video and your kind words. Love your content :D

Mishka was my true favorite until Tiago came in and blew everyones minds. Holy crap. MultiDavid for 3rd place would be a nice pick as well!

Thanks again for doing this challenge it was super fun to participate with others! My favourite solo was Mishka's because I've never seen anyone play Harmonics like he does. Congrats to Tiago!

You blow my mind, but that Tiago...no words!

TIAGO ANDREE YOU ARE FROM ANOTHER DIMENTION AND IT'S BRILLIANT YOU ARE NOT EVEN IN THIS UNIVERS AWESOME BRO,... VERY AMAZING

Incredible the talent and ability of Tiago Andree, at just 18 years old he is already one of the best bass players in the world

Charles, thanks for including me along with this incredible group of musicians! And I really enjoyed watching a bunch of video entries from so many creative and talented players!

Mishka was insane! In the short time he had he made a complete song with introduction, development of a chord progressions with melodic lines on top and an ending. His bass lines create an harmonic structure and at the same time different melodic voices. It's like an epic story told in a very short span!

Mishka absolutely killed it, I listened to his a bunch of times!

Charles, you did not let your youtube channel be all about you only, but you generously allowed other good players to be featured too. This spoke volumes about what a great guy you are and how you respect good players.

I'm impressed with Tiago playing he can play both instruments very good, his skills is equals on both hands

Thank you so much! I think I should make a musical atmosphere for the main boss next time :D Congratulations to all winners!

Well, I think I'm done processing it, wow! I never thought I would be in such a high place, there was too much competition. I have to confess that when I saw Mishka in 3rd place, what little hope I had of getting a podium place dropped to 0%. There was too much competition, and I didn't even have time to do anything elaborate because of all the time my university thesis was consuming hehe (sorry for my sleepy face and poor video quality 😢). But I do not know what to say. Once again, thank you so much Charles for all the inspiration you provide, you have always motivated me to continue with music and bass. Thiago, my greatest congratulations, I'm afraid that one day you'll come with an alien invasion because we all know that you're not from this world man haha. Thank you very much to everyone who participated and those who were in the top, always the competition and your creativity inspires me to continue learning 💪❤️

Tiago is a true virtuoso, at the level of the best in the world and also one of the most underrated bass players on YT, in this contest Tiago had the merged powers of Messi and Ronaldo playing against a third division team, he won by a landslide

Hello everyone, I am very happy to have participated in the contest, I really enjoyed Charles's comment about my "evil" touch and especially his face at the end of the solo, with that I already feel like a winner, congratulations to all the participants and especially all mishka that has impressed me with that original way of playing that he had in the solo, and Tiago... you're crazy dude 🤯😂😂

The guitar and bass dual tapper was the winner imo .. not only amazing but kept it musical too.

Really great - everyone!! Just awesome. Tiago was my #1, as well - but all were excellent!!

Tiago will soon be able to put together a 3 guitar-played demo! Looking forward to that. 👍

HOLY GUACAMOLE. The last time I was so astounded was when I saw discovered Charles thanks to Davie504's that Fiverr video. Now I've discovered Tiago thanks to Charles. And I'm absolutely GOBSMACKED. Subscribing immediately.

Well deserved Tiago. I've been following him for a while and he is definitely the winner.

MISHKA DESERVES THE 2ND PLACE MAN!!!!

Incredible high level bass players here🤯🤯. So unreal I'm in this video. Thanks Charles🙏🙏

MISHKA 🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏Великолепное владение инструментом это бесподобно!!!!

Tiago Andree’s composition was absolutely mindblowing but the slap part really sealed the deal for me, I find it absolutely mind boggling how something can sound that clean and fast and the tone was just flawless. I'm gonna practise so damn much the rest of my weeks off good god I want to be just a tiny part of as good as that was.

The number one was clear, that was just mind blowing. No idea how you ranked the others though, they were all amazing in their own right.

Thanks for inspiring all of us. The talent and uniqueness from all of these musicians clearly show! Awesome!

really happy of participating! thanks charles for making the competition!

Marco Zarco is awesome as always. Loop connection was excellent with the synth sound, and the Pianist was excellent. So many great musicians this time.

My personal favorites: 1) Thiago - Incredibly technical and badass that it’s on two instruments. 2) Gabriel - My favorite composition. Love the power chords incorporated into it. 3) Mishka - Incredibly technical. Love the harmonics he did. A little more space would’ve made it even better.

For me Mishka was the one I liked the most but the winner really was impressive

I would have taken Aku. His solo was so extremely tight (from a drummers perspective). Looking forward to see more from him.

Tiago Andree is incredible but unfortunately so underrated !

Thank you Charles! :D That was epic :D

Tiago is on another level as usual! And it seems so easy for him!

Man, there are some crazy talents in this video, and Tiago definitely deserved the win! Congrats 🤗

That guy that played two guitars at once was incredible. He deserved the win.

Very well deserved first prize for Tiago Andree, he is not only the best in this contest, but also one of the best bass players in the world today!!!

My vote would go to mishka until we all saw that insanity lol

The winner was 100% deserved. Tiago is a MONSTER. I hope you'll do another contest one day ;-)

What an amazing group of talented people! Everybody is a winner here.

It must have been hard to pick the winners with such a strong field of entries, Tiago on another level good lord man

Playing two bass guitars at the same time, at that level.....this is immense. Worthy winner from a fabulous pool of musicians.

Congrats to everyone, I really loved to hear every solo on this video! Very hard to choose my favorite, nice work 👍

The more I see the participation of each contestant, the more I realize the difference between Tiago Andree and the others. Tiago is a world-class giant!

A lot of great ones. I'd consider for next time having a special non-bass category that could receive a prize. I really dug that synth sax, for example.

My picks: 1) Tiago 2) Mishka 3) Jon The Fawndoe. 4) And I can't rank Marco with bass players, but he is #1 in another category.

Congrats for the winners, it was a great fun and challenge to participate. Next time I am gonna put even more effort in it 👍

Marco rocking a Headhunters t-shirt from 1972 - nice!

I think of one big plus in Gab's solo - the structure. He divided it to different parts and passed smoothly between them. That, in my opinion, made it very listenable. I enjoyed it.

Who else wishes they could watch Tiago play with Felix Martin? 4 guitars, 2 players! I couldn't handle it.

Brilliant, loved them all, the 3 winners were also my favourites, I can't get my head round how hard it is to play 2 instruments, one the opposite way round, wow!! Thank you all

Thank you for the opportunity 👌 I will continue to improve to enter the category of impossible solos 🔥😎Congratulations to all 👏🎸🎶

Tiago representing México 🤘🤘 yeaaaah, bravo Tiago!!

you inspire me to play bass thank you!

Without seeing it through, Tiago wins.......

I enjoyed most the 1st bassist (MultiDavid) ;D

Nice. I thought that Tiago should've won the bass battle last year, so finally, he gets his due (with an even more epic solo than the one he played before). I do think bassists (and to a lesser extent, guitarists) have an advantage in this, because Charles knows the technical ins and outs extremely well, so he can easily tell how difficult something is, whereas like...who knows how hard it is to perfect the techniques present in the overtone flute solo? That solo may have been an even more impressive, epic and technical feat, but we'll never know, because it's so niche. The best a non-bassist/guitarist can do in a competition like this is to write an amazing solo, something that goes with the backing track and sounds extremely musical. But a bassist or guitarist can not only do that, they can show off their technique to a person who has gone down that same path and learned those same methodologies. It's not a fair fight.

All the winners were well deserved! Congratulations!

Marco Zarco always blowing my mind with some new insane instrument..and he always makes them sound absolutely incredible. what a badass

Most impressive: Tiago Andree and Mishka Gogitidze Most enjoyable: Aink, Marco Zarco and Frank (Loop Connection)

As great as everyone was, Tiago simply other worldly. What a talent!

Wow! Great solo, congrats Tiago, you surely deserved it!

andre is another of your bass god fellows :) love him

tiago wassss amazing. Not only was he using non boutique instruments: his tone was perfect. Literally the best two instrument tapping ive ever seen. Not even the same instrument hes tapping, thats fucked up good. That took so much efffort to learn to be that good, the toneee though

Mishka kills!!! Marco is an unexpected treat!

Mishka is the only one I want to keep relistening to over and over of the bunch.

Yeah, I'd seen that Tiago solo previously, and my lower jaw was on the floor. The tightness there was almost like someone has synced things up in the studio. Amazing.

THANK YOU for PRESENTING THE RESULTS! ( i been waiting curiously & long 4 that) AND CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNERS AND TO EVERYONE GOT FEATURED IN THIS VIDEO!

Hey Charles. I appreciate that you were fair and gave the award to the person that performed the best, and not just a person that "needed" a $1500 custom bass the most. Congrats to Tiago.

18 years old and one of the best bass players in the world: Tiago Andree

I love that at 6:10 he plays unison -> harmonized And at 6:25 he plays harmonized -> unison Memorizing that is just crazy… such a skilled musician

I agreed with your choices Bro. Tiago def for number one. I sure am more inspired as a bassist and guitarist, and I tip my hat to all of you. Thanks for all you do Charles, my favourite Bass YT Channel🙏

Man, it’s great to see so many amazing bass players. I want to get good as them, so I’m gonna practice after watching this video 🎸

Tiago todo un orgullo mexicano! 🤘🏼

I’ve been following the musicians that submit compositions to your contests for some time now. It’s a blessing, these folks are incredible.

If Tiago didn't won I would have been suprised

These guys are simply, insane... Any choice would be well deserved, but in my humble opinion: Thiago Andree.

Aink's one sounds like something I would hear in a Sonic Game

Love Zarco’s Herbie Hancock shirt! Great video! Everyone is so impressive!

Thanks Charles for a handful of great musicians to subscribe to.

As a non-bassist... Holy crap the bass world is upping its game the last couple years. All of those were incredible

Wow, this was absolutely amazing! Tiago killed it! Congrats on the win and congrats to everyone else as well!

Flute solo was sick, would be awesome to get the winning bass and the rest of instruments into one track somehow. As for Tiago, wow!

It was only a matter of time before Tiago got first place in one of these. Often the most technical entrant in previous competitions, frequent runner up. But wow, that went above and beyond.

These competitions keep getting better and better! The overall skill of all the contestants continues to improve! The creativity is just wild!

Buena elección. Tiago es un fuera de serie. 👏👏👏

I agree. Playing 2 guitars like that was mind-blowing!

WOW! I keep listening to Mishkas piece over and over, it gets better each time and has a cruisy groove under all that action. Just unlucky such an awesome piece of music ran into Tiagos facemelter on the day *8 )
