Green Day - Welcome To Paradise [Bass Cover]

[wd1darkflash]

That is an awesome sounding bass, man! What model is it?

[Tweezie1111]

@wd1darkflash Squire Affinity Precision

[wd1darkflash]

@Tweezie1111 Right, I'm getting one ;D I was savin up to get one in summer but I didn't know which one out of Precision and Jazz sounded like how yours does int video, but now I know it's Precision, that's the one I'm gettin :) Cheers for t' lowdown, dude B)

[finestcore]

taping the squier logo like a boss.

[Tweezie1111]

@finestcore just what i thought .....lol

[pfutch1]

@finestcore sounds quite good for a squier... lol

[TheFrustratorS]

you're much more better than Crope182 =)

[Ratiug24]

nice cover man! can you check mine out and tell me what you think? =D

[KevinETNIES]

like your shirt :D

[violingurlxo2000]

nice job, your great im learning how to play the song on bass so itll be really helpful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[peep57]

Whats the kind of your bass?

[Tweezie1111]

@peep57 It is a Squire Affinnity Prescison bass. Lookks like he is ashamed its not a reak Fende P bas since he has taped over the name. I have this bass in my collection and it is a great bass. Good punk and rock bass. Very in your face sound. And a good beginner bass too. Not so pricey and it is Squire by Fender so Fender has alot to do with the making of theese basses. Mike Dirnt has a custom one, A custum squire basss and he says it is the loudest bass he owns.,

[allisgonechile]

very good cover man (:

[victorcarlos5]

best bands ever: BLink 182 (in their best times), Green day, Rancid, NOFX, anti-flag,...

[Greendayfan4everdie]

Your Bass is SO realy Cooooooool

;D

[Oskaroo1]

awesome cover men;)

[NitzTakone]

Hey man what does the eq look like on your amp for this tone? Sounds absolutely incredible!

[beechweezel]

unlike all the other idiots on youtube, this guy actually knows what he's doing. this is the best cover i have seen yet

[victorcarlos5]

@beechweezel that's a good cover but I think you havent seen much covers...

IT can still be better for exemple recording it whit a software

[Cruxted270]

i love your bass!!! is fucking awesome :D!

[BontaBauchniX]

nearly better then dirnt :D

[panchorockup]

You made it

[Alexgreenday2000]

Did somebody scream at 1:47 ?

[MrHatenoobs]

@Alexgreenday2000 that were the strings!!

[Alexgreenday2000]

@MrHatenoobs I know it just sounded like it

[blubbersmith]

@lukian56 wow, really? You're pretty stupid to think that. Picks have a different sound and feel to them. Some music just isn't right with finger picking, and this is that music. There's a reason mike Dirnt uses them.

[lukian56]

good job.. but only pussies play with picks

[ashmetalthebest]

@lukian56 a good bass player should be able to use all Technic's!

[PunkZombie1300]

@lukian56 Well, you are what you eat. Explains why they're pussies and you're a dick.

[THENACHUSKY]

great solo and great cover =)

[guitarguitar773]

I'm pretty sure that's the squire..

[lumyingluo]

great^^

[brandonguthrie]

i love your bass man

[RideTheLightning024]

how was that a Pete Wentz model? my first bass was a pete wentz signature and they just have one knob, this one has 2.

[07plokoon]

good cover bud

[07plokoon]

Eb tuning right? Fuck da poe-liz! i did it in standard :D

[JanPotrc]

you are gooood! :D

[MajoraMasks66]

Best part...the break.

[aararify]

Sticker?It is good-looking. 

[GageNGar]

Tabs?

[OficialAlexGarza]

what is your bass??squier or fender??

[ak47dragunov]

Ever play any Offspring on that ATK back there?

[deylinnTV]

Where did you get that shirt???

[operationdestroy]

whats with the tape?

[1997Nimrod]

you make it look so easy :/

[MajoraMasks66]

Bro, you should send me a tab of the Break. I can't seem to find the right one so...PM me the whole tab or at least all the Break parts aha.

[EPICVOLUME101]

this so awesome

[greendaylover4ever71]

LESSON PLEASEEEEEEEE

[BlackKnight016]

Awesome as F**k!!

[TheFloay]

Solo tabs? Please? I can't work it out :(

[MrJoshsupra]

awesome as fuck!

[xtake1updaarsx]

You say Lady Gaga, I say Nirvana.

You say Hannah Montana, I say Metallica.

You say Owl City, I say Motorhead.

You say Jonas Brothers, I say Aerosmith.

You say Justin Bieber, I say Deep purple.

You say Taylor Swift, I say Guns & Roses.

95% of teens these days listen to the same crappy pop over and over again. If you're one of the 5% who still listens to real music, thumb this up, then copy and paste it to at least five videos. Don't let the spirit of rock and roll die

[synistergrl751]

can you please tell me where you learned this song im starting to learn how to play and this song awesome so please lol :)

[undershock94]

MAN, AWESOME playing, AWESOME bass and fucking AWESOME tone!

[Whenicomaroundiscool]

one word...wow!

[giorgiomikedirnt96]

molto bravo :) qnt vorrei riuscirci ank io..... sob

[TheGhost772]

nice playing and i have the same afinator xD!!

[GeRaRdOiGiNaL]

en el solo es doble golpeteo en al cuerda 3 -.-

[sh0rty1231]

damn this cant possibly be a squier !!! insane sound !!!!!!!! this MUST be a fender... there arent any squier basses with a mapple neck so its a fender :D and i would really love to know what amp you are using

[skotty92]

@sh0rty1231 well yes, it is

it's a squier pete wentz model which i put together all new and with a new finish on the body

the amp is a small marshall mb15

[sh0rty1231]

@skotty92 damn what a great sound u got!!!! i have a marshall MB450H in our practise room... could you plz tell me the settings and the channel you used in this cover? what do you mean by "put together all new" which parts of the bass did you change? is this the pete wentz body and neck?

[skotty92]

@sh0rty1231 i really don't know anymore, sorry... i usually have a slight boost on mids and treble..

well, new bridge, new pickups (duncan spb-1), new cts pots and new pickguard

[sh0rty1231]

@skotty92 ok ich sehe gerade du bist deutsch^^ also es wäre wirklich wichtig für mich zu wissen welche einstellungen du an deinem amp bei diesem cover hattest, da ich eben auch einen marshall amp habe und meine band dieses lied auch spiel. dein sound ist wirklich unglaublich geil :D denkst du, du könntest vielleicht etwas rumprobieren, um diesen sound wieder zu bekommen? ich würde gerne den channel beim amp + equalization wissen =) wäre dir sehr sehr dankbar dafür :D

[MrHatenoobs]

@skotty92 what strings do you use?



[TwoColorsKiller]

@sh0rty1231 im tired of pple saying squiers are shitty... i own two squiers and i love them, if you know how to use them you can get great sound out of them, especially if you have good strings and a good amp

[TwoColorsKiller]

@sh0rty1231 im tired of pple saying squiers dont have good sound... i own two squiers and i love them, if you know how to use them you can get great sound out of them, especially if you have good strings and a good amp

[TheFloay]

@TwoColorsKiller Well... I have a squier and a fender, and the fender sounds better by MILES, and it's much easy to play. The squier also has these fucked pickups that wobble a bit

[BackingTracks1999]

@sh0rty1231 There are a few Squiers with maple fret boards...

[VictorTani]

@sh0rty1231 actually there is, the bass of Simple Plan's bassist :) 

[VictorTani]

@sh0rty1231 check it out in Fender's website

[Realrpg]

Hey man what amp are you using?

[lastoftheAZNGIRLS]

damn... i can only do the solo. this is great :D

[Korndude4561]

i have the same electronic tuner :D

[Bubba95222]

What kind of bass is that

[TieFan121461]

@Bubba95222 It's either a squier or a fender precision bass

[MasterMarf]

work at the timing of the solo :D rest is nearly perfect

[tle123rox]

Are you.....Mark Hoppus? (No, I'm not saying you're a poser but you're one of the only people other than Mark and Mike that play with the pick properly, plus the patrick shirt seems like something he would wear.)

[skotty92]

@tle123rox LOL :D

thanks man, made my day...

call me skotty

[tle123rox]

@skotty92 hahaha Alright Skotty. You considered ever doing a Plus 44 song?

[AudibleJoes]

@tle123rox You mustn't have ever heard of Matt Freeman. xD

[FenixiaDuo]

@tle123rox Except Paul McCartney, Mike Rutherford, and Chris Squire also used picks. And are regarded as some of the greatest bass players of all time.

[gdholiday90]

Ur good way better thn me

[gdholiday90]

Man ur lucky I suck on the solo part

[kkswimmer16]

hey man, srry for annoying u again. im looking for the mike dirnt tone, and what you got there is great, but its hard to get pickups like so, so long story short would i have to go for the Spb-1 pickups or quarter pounders

[skotty92]

@kkswimmer16 spb-1, that's what will be closer to Mike's sound

he's really like vintage oriented ;-)

[joeyt373]

why all the tape on the guitar?

[JooeeeF]

@joeyt373 To makeit look cool

[joeyt373]

@JooeeeF i dont think it does but its your opinion ahah

[Jasonwhite94]

Great sound ^^

[GreenDayRulez54]

Love the solo! You have really good endurance haha I wouldnt be able to go on with it any more than like 30 seconds haha My wrists would be too tired. But yeah great job dude!

[TheFloay]

@GreenDayRulez54 I know, haha, i can only just manage when i play this with my band

[Jordo1900]

Thumbs this up if you think e should put up band videos

[MMMunchlax]

Blastin the bass dude... awesome!

[Jasonwhite94]

2:00 awesome !! =D

[jdude203]

Amazing cover man! :D

Just one question, I am having trouble getting the bridge/bass solo part up to speed. How can I help get it up to speed?( I am playing with a pick)

[Jordo1900]

@jdude203 try alternative picking

[ian12334]

How can i make my bass sounds like this??

[mrciaran96]

@ian12334 2 words, seymour duncan :P

[strangecomedy]

alright, just one more question and then i'll leave you alone ;D how did you get the tone knob in there? just a different set of pickups and a new pickguard?

[skotty92]

@strangecomedy pots are just as puchaseable as any else

yes, it's a new pickguard but the tone knob is an individual part on its own

this has nothing to do with pickups

[Pasalaqcua]

I see that you put Dookie in the tags, but why isn't Kerplunk in the tags? This song was first on the album Kerplunk

[skotty92]

@Pasalaqcua This is the Dookie version ;)

don't pay too much attation to the tags, man...

[strangecomedy]

@skotty92 did you paint it yourself or did you have someone do it for you?

[skotty92]

@strangecomedy i had someone doing it for cheap dirt, lucky me

[strangecomedy]

@skotty92 those strings sound PERFECT. what kind do you use?

[skotty92]

@strangecomedy Dean Markley Nickelplated Steels

funny that I never used them again...

[noobzorxz]

@strangecomedy Mike uses Ernie Ball Super Slinkys if your in doubt of what to get :) I bought some and with a Squier or Fender P-bass they sound AWESOME :D

[skotty92]

@noobzorxz sorry but that's wrong

ever since american idiot, he's been using fender nickelplated strings, which you can spot by the black wrapping that they have

he endorses them as well of course

[UselessTVproductions]

dude you're a genius

I'm a bassist my self (just beginning)

and this really motivates me

thanks

[ian12334]

OMG This is the best BASS cover man!!!!!

[Pritchard68]

fast solo :P but is perfect :)

[Jordo1900]

3 people are clearly jealous

[punkadelicfuzz]

awesome cover! what strings do you use?

[NoLIfeLooser]

hey man, could you send me tab of that? I really like the way you play it, and i am trying to play it.

[nopride15]

Whats with the electrical tape on the body/fretboard/head?

[Jordo1900]

@nopride15 he customised it!

[Jordo1900]

[TheViRusK1ng]

[StJohnny13]

[patian9]

[TheChrisC29]

[skotty92]

ich liebe ihn, so viel besser als der orig. pw bass! :)

ich bereue keine einzige veränderung...

solltest du dir auch überlegen, wo du ja jetzt auch den hoppus hast.

[elithompandre8266]

DO WHEN I COME AROUND, PLZ!!! Thank you.

[skotty92]

I did. Together with She. One of my most-watched videos.

[elithompandre8266]

Nice sounding Fender, btw.

[elithompandre8266]

Why is there tape on the bass???

[skotty92]

JFF. I thought it didn't look too bad so yeah... trying to be a punk :D

[ComaSDA]

@skotty92 It looks like shit. take it off. buy some stickers.

[KeyXLimeXPieXPunko]

@skotty92 can you send me the tabs?

[meehee45]

@skotty92 i think it looks pretty fuckin sweet. but what really matters is that the bass playing is pretty fuckin sweet (=

[StJimmy4200]

@elithompandre8266 he might have brand stickers on it, cover it up to protect himself from copyright infringements, or maybe because it looks cool? :P

[TheIncredibleMoe]

mit was für drähte spielst du?

hört sich nach stainless an. ;-)

gutes cover btw.

[skotty92]

Nope. :P

sind Dean Markley Nickel Plated Steel, 45-105

muss aber zugeben dass sie für Nickels recht drahtig klingen

danke ;)

[reckless18244]

awesome!! xD you rock

what type of bass it is? I mean, Fender, gibson...

[skotty92]

Gibson doesn´t make P-basses.

It´s a Squier, cheap side company of Fender

[AJBoutilier]

lol. i just had to laugh at the fact that he mentioned gibson

[thepoofication]

kicks butt as always =D

[ORabbitsAREroadkillO]

awsome man :) merry christmas. did you change your pickguard from brown to black? lol i only just noticed

[skotty92]

Thanks =)

Yup, but like a month or 2 ago :D

the last time I used this with the tortoise pg was almost 3 months ago
