Flobots - Handlebars (Bass Cover)

[TheRob0725]

dude, pretty good ... but clean yer room!

[pmoomoo]

people who dislike listen to justin bieber

[Haryanti88]

I always wanted to come up with tabs for this song....but this is great..mind if I just wing it more a bit? You gave me an excellent idea :)

[AlexKlaas4]

where did u get the tab for this?

[benoitdrummer]

rah, who cares about how difficult it is.. it sounds great :D

[13thorderbass]

@benoitdrummer Why thank you. I don't understand why it's such a big deal to some people.

[gohandie]

A lot more fun to play, and sounds decent when you back the guitar on the intro.

[KCS41691]

I like your style, bro

[BlazeWasAlreadyTaken]

WOW THAT LOOKS DIFFICULT. 

[13thorderbass]

@BlazeWasAlreadyTaken

Hardest. Song. Ever.

[rockbandfreak1995]

@BlazeWasAlreadyTaken dude honestly its not how hard it is its how it sound and it sounds great

[MrLuisv2]

does that bass have 5 strings

[13thorderbass]

@MrLuisv2

Yes it does

[AvengedSol]

stfu this songs beast!!! thumbs up bro

[trouble1macker202]

Why is everybody insulting the guy? You clicked on the damn video, so just shut up.

[13thorderbass]

@trouble1macker202

I agree haha.

[ferretboy1187]

Ernie Ball Stingray? doesn't look like it from the way the headstock is

[Jaysonaaa]

Its an easy bassline.

Play harder ones or people will think your shit

[yomammaonastick]

@Jaysonaaa thats what the related videos thing is for this kids a fuckin beast otherwise he wouldnt have a $1000+ bass

[Jaysonaaa]

@yomammaonastick - Oh, I Know. Its a great bass.

[BrenMan94]

@yomammaonastick

I'm not saying that the kid is bad, but the value of your axe does not determine your skill. I started out with a $99 Yamaha bass guitar, and now I have a Fender Jazz Bass valued at over $1,400. I built it piece by piece over the course of eighteen months.

[Echochristos301]

Good job man, i like that you don't stay to the exact line as is in the song, way to put your own spin on it.

[estesrodriguez14]

man that is awsome u got to teach me

[weeman559]

i was wonderin if u could send me the tabs

[sm0ketastic]

so yeah, you should totally send me the tabs. Or did you get them on UG?

[efoosh]

y would u cover this song on bass

[honsrain669]

look at that scruffy outfit,jk can i see the tabs?

[OhHeyItsJack]

hey can you send the tabs?

[Americancricket11]

hey can u send me the tabs for this

[isquarejenny]

You look like you're trying too hard with the sunglasses and the beanie...

Like you look like you're trying too look all hardcore...

[Thegodfather847]

rofl have u seen his other vids? He dicks around in almost all of them but he plays them perfectly and effortlessly. lol

[isquarejenny]

He just kind of looks lime an idiot

haha

[13thorderbass]

Thats the whole point.

[isquarejenny]

But still, you look pretty ridiculous..

[mousedrawer]

is it necessary to make a cover that consists of a bunch of bland chords?

[13thorderbass]

I did it because i like the song, not because of how difficult it is.

[davizzle99]

Thank you dphs6969. This takes very little skill. Playing with one finger is the first clue. Listen to real bass, not what bass is turning into.

[TheOriginalFire93]

damn, this vid makes me feel bad for even attempting to play this song lol makes me look horrible, how long have you been playing?

[RockOut113]

me neither, mine is about 200 euro´s

[beasst94]

what bass is that and amp?

[DemonRocker321]

Bass is a Ernie Ball Music Maker Bass 5string

[RockOut113]

don't you mean Music MAN?

[DemonRocker321]

heh... well ya.. idk i dont own any 1000+ $ bass lol

[metalhead373]

[dphs6969]

[Th3Apocalypse]

Damn.

[BanduluSound]

[victorhugo1004]

[DemonRocker321]

ENCORE ENCORE!! lol pretty freakin amazing

[Tafheemwii]

dude, can you give a link to a tab?

[thespank117]

It was an ok cover bro just a little advice from one bassist to another keep ur hands on that sucker makes u look more professional nobody wants to see a guy with his hand down by his side while he is playin just looks less interesting u messed up a bit keep practicin brother.

[patchis8]

agreed

[patchis8]

opps i mean agreed with thespank17

[thespank117]

thanks for not takin offense man im glad that some ppl can take constructive critisism good showsmanship man keep up the playin bro peace out

[thirdfinger1]

lol its funny to see how impressed these people get off just a simple cover song

[Peter7009]

Can you just make another Cover? I'm Bored, this video is 2 months old. did you need 1 month to make a cover? i mean, C'mon, broadcast yourself. you're an awesome bassist.

[justin444555]

ur a dirty bassist even tho this is prob the easiest song u kno lol..but ur other vids r sick

[jrmel1994]

yo man private msg me the tams please

[13thorderbass]

D, A, F, C, Bb, F, E, D those are the notes.

[inknstrings]

Looks so boring to play lol.

I get that vibe from your expressionless face.

[13thorderbass]

lol not bored, chilled

[obi149]

@13thorderbass

stoned?

[canadianjosh]

strings sound nice

[6ikka6]

i would like know what u did, can u give us the tab? *--*

[betatestersrule08]

NICE!!!!

[cubsrox2987]

nice

[CaptainChaos88]

I love that bright tone! sadly it doesn't fit the song.

[amandapanda1122]

-sigh- i dont even think im gonna bother trying to cover this song now v.v i only have a four string and i pretty much suck! good job

[13thorderbass]

lol you don't need a five string, jesse from the flobots plays a four string so it all can be done on one

[amandapanda1122]

doesnt fix the fact that the tab i found prolly isn't right x] nice cover i enjoy watching it

[incrediblemacaroni]

haha sweet sunglasses. they're pretty pimp.

[13thorderbass]

lol yes, yes they are

[YBRmuggsLP21]

What a boring bass part to make a video of. :\

[13thorderbass]

didn't say it was interesting

[YBRmuggsLP21]

So then you just implied that it is boring.

Why post it then?

[13thorderbass]

lol i didn't say it was boring but i didn't say it was the most interesting song to play on bass, i posted it becuase i like the song and its fun for me to play but your right its not the most interesting song but no one said it was.

[jackattack254]

okay can you do the song Combat? (also Flobots)

[187inc]

im suprised at seeing alot of bass players. theyre vital to a band but besides the keyboard player they are least popular(most occassions unlike ska banned and some bands who have exeptional bass player alient ant farm and primus are 2 examples)

[renkotsu92]

I have a request:John the Fisherman

[13thorderbass]

did that song like a while ago, just check out my vids

[renkotsu92]

ok,how about knights of cydonia by Muse

[Xyphere]

Hey, it's Jarred. (CJ's friend with the BC Rich Eagle)

I can't believe I ended up finding this video of you. I was considering learning this for kicks. How did those Lo-Riders end up working out for you?

[13thorderbass]

hey man whats up, the dr's worked great, i still have dr's on my bc rich but i have d'addario's on my music man right now

[Peter7009]

Man you're awesome.

Btw I wanna request a bass cover.

It's called "psychosocial" by Slipknot.

Think so tough to playing this song?

the song was cool for me.

[hiddenxaccount]

Holy shit yes.

I've had this song stick in my head forever @__@

Wow, everyone's videos I see has something to do with Handlebars now >_>

[SimplyBeautiful65]

sounds good with the song :)

[pockychan13]

thats a really good bass cover. I like all he fills and stuff, especially done all by ear.

[germanicaus]

that isnt the actual bass part but good job to come up with an awesome bass cover by ear that still goes with the song

[13thorderbass]

it pretty much is but with added fills

[AdDd45]

lmao

[andyfoxxiv]

Amazing bass player but ditch the "fake-me-out" hardcore image with your beanie and sunglasses.

[13thorderbass]

i'll think about it

[faint94camilo]

where did you find the tabs ??

[13thorderbass]

no tabs, all ear.

[faint94camilo]

wow :o

[13thorderbass]

its not a hard song at all, its the same bass line the whole song.

[ckywillcky]

[bothamliam]

[mike553]

Weird song, but nice job, I'm really digging your tone.

[mankat13]

hey greg i can ride kyles butt with no handlebars lol nice job

[planeshift]

hahaha i can only on fridays.

[wordsarelouder]

Hey man nice EB - I liked the sound for the most part,the thing I didn't like was I could hear the twang from your fingers, probally because of the camera recording it.

Now, I normally don't like rap, not at all not since the days of old skool rap that meant something - this song is great because it brings back the real rap - the songs that had meaning the songs that actually try to make a point and I really think that this song is all about doing things with your own strength. Good stuff.

[13thorderbass]

thanks for the comment, i love the twang thats why i love the bass haha i found it wierd that people don't like it.
