[jericho4590]

thanks so much! i love this song and bass line its brilliant! probably the best cover ive seen...... considering this is the only one! but grats man this is awsome!

[pertybass]

@jericho4590 Thanks !!!!!!!!

[flite26]

hey man do you have a clip of doing jimmy olsen's blues? the most underrated bass line in poprock history!

[flite26]

man i love this song so much. my drummer and i jam this all the time but we've never found a bassist that has learned it this well! do you have the track of just solo bass? we could record to you playing and seriously make a perfect copy of the song!

[pertybass]

@flite26 Hi I dont have a bass track but I can make one !!

send me a personal massage if you want to do it, I'll be happy !!!

[jnprather]

Very, very well done, man. That bass looks like it's a dream to play, very nice tone.

[pertybass]

@jnprather It is a dream to play :)

[bacanito]

very cool...i enjoyed the little personal touches to this cover, great job! the slapping parts on these 2 songs are really hard, i can't do that lol hard to exist is amazing, way overrated for sure...

[thomasiw22]

lol @ 5:33, dont get too relaxed or anything. Love it

[DannieRush]

This song was my constant companion all through my jazz studies degree. It kept me sane! Such an underated band. Why do people not get it?

[ericgsims]

@DannieRush i have a jazz studies degree also actually with the bass. i totally agree. and i think people don't really get the spin doctors cuz of when they came up in the 90s and the pop tunes they had. it somehow took over who they really were. plus that goof ball singer didn't help.

[drumcorps0junkie]

!from 4/4 to 3/4 at 6:01!

the snare and bass own this song!

phat chops to the dcrummer and mad skillz

to perty bass!

!Thanks for posting this!

[Meatdogg]

did you learn this by ear?

[pertybass]

@Meatdogg Yap

[Meatdogg]

thats pretty cool I know most of the album on the six string except this one and "Off My Line"

[pertybass]

I think he only playd on 4 sting basses, thats what you see on all the vodeos...

[Meatdogg]

sorry I meant the six string guitar...

[TiramisuHappy]

Slapping, tapping and a couple of harmonics thrown in to boot!!

Very impressive! ; D

[TiramisuHappy]

I've always liked the bass line in this song, but being a former drummer, I just LOVE the drumming in this!! ; D

I absolutely love the "bell" work on the ride cymbal at 6:27 mark. And those ghost notes on the snare drum is just KILLING ME!!! ; P

LOVE IT!

[drumcorps0junkie]

@TiramisuHappy

[SatoriEarth]

You wouldn't happen to have any tab for this would you? Save me from the time to track this all by eye.

Much respect.
