The POLICE: Walking On The Moon (bass line)

[PBL187]

I like the subtle little fills you add to it lol

[vonroden]

Great cover, did Sting use a fretless on the record ? sounds like he did

[PBL187]

@vonroden I think so. He also did for Message In A Bottle you see it in the vid. In the vid for this he's actually playing what looks like a stratocaster lol

nice sounds. diggin the fretless

[unknown017369]

damn that was awesome dude

[TuSabesEarl]

Man good cover! I love the fretless, what kind is it? I just made a cover and the thought of doing it fretless crossed my mind but I ended up using my normal bass. Good freakin job, now to watch more of your other videos. :D

Thanks !! the bass is a Cort BF4l , I got it to start learning fretless playing, I´m very happy with it, sounds great for its price. I´ll put some chorus on it next time to get a nicer sound.

[Coppolabass]

Many thanks, patience and step by step learning process and a daily routine will make you a better bass player. Learning from great bass lines as this Police one is also a good help. My advice is not to be in a hurry, remind that is very important "learning to walk before run".

I don't mean to bother, but what is better for a beginner, a pick or finger strumming/picking. Is it normal to be touching other strings, being a beginner or am I doing something wrong? I have a hard time getting clear notes... Many thanks, I often watch this to influence my technique.

[ROGSchisms]

Personally... I use finger picking to get a low, growly tone. I use pick for controlled, moderate notes. Like....

i.e. Pick for 5---5---5---5

I would use fingers for faster songs or for low songs like any KoRn songs or Mudvayne stuff. I.e. 0--1--0--3-1-0-0-1-2 or anythingn like that.

[mozzyboy01]

My God, watching this is discouraging. I know it's a simple bass line but you cover it awesomely. I'm a beginner so of course I want to jump right in, patience I guess. Beautiful playing....

[bigmdogs]

how the fuck does a fretless bass work?

[Coppolabass]

Well, it´s nearly the same as a fretted one, but... it´s harder to play, entonation is the more difficult thing to achieve. You may like to look for some Jaco Pastorius, Steve Bailey or Tony Franklin videos for a really good fretless bass playing.

[oldcreppy]

Sweet cover man.

By the way, nice fretless bass :)

[Coppolabass]

thats right, it´s a fretless

[QUYMOBIUZ]

Damn,it amazes me how important a good bass lick is in a song. I use to hum the bass & lyrics of this song at work. Great job dude!

[Coppolabass]

Thanks a lot !!!
