The Ruts-Staring at the rude boys bass cover

[stevie1961x]

good stuff, sounds pretty spot on to me - I've got to learn it for a gig tomorrow night and it saved me working it out :) cheers

[minorthreatjehh]

still one of my favorites :)

[Zer0Skateboard]

fuck you bastard!!! you have a rickenbacker bass and i dont!!! x(

[rayyabass]

Hey mate I totaly agree... I've been playing the bass coming on 30 years, been in bands since the mid 80's, I'm in 2 just now & I've never read a note of music or looked at a tab in my life...the only way to learning a song is by ear, as well as getting the key the songs in you also learn the format which no feckin' tab will learn you....Quality bass by the way!!!! :-)

[Blackdrumer93]

this is an awesome cover man. i love tht bass lol

[GameNerd413]

Rickenbacker...best bass in the world

[Joshuarghh]

[Mackem1962]

Good job. Not as easy as it sounds this one.

[sharpthorne]

This just illustrates the difference in being a bassplayer and a bass owner.

[daviex]

aye, whatever.

so bad you had to comment twice.

thanks for your constructive comments.

COCK.

[Evilucas]

Don't listen to sharpthorne. This song is a lot harder than it sounds, and you nailed it. Keep playing, man. You're sounding good.

[sharpthorne]

Nice bass - shame so many of the notes are SO wrong!

[minorthreatjehh]

[ianbastard2000]

Nice to see a good old Rickenbacker (proper punk bass) still being played well. Shark tooth frets aswell...Nice.

[daviex]

cheers for your comments ian, you truly are a (cool) bastard.thanks.segs jennings told me it was note perfect as well, not like cunty grayk1211 who knows better than the original bass player!keep the faith.

[grayk1211]

Daviex You are a Shit! and your ears are Fucked! Give it up you sad lying Bastard. You agreed I was right and said "Cheers mate" for correcting you.People saw it you twat !Do you know how pathetic that makes you look? The Segs "told me" bit is very juvenile you Cunt !

[ianbastard2000]

WOOOooooo. Calm down mate.You're disagreeing with Daviex over 1 fucking note.For that you've called me,a thick cunt,a piece of dogshit,ignorant,braindead cunt and..oh yeah,cunt,and called Daviex,a shit with fucked ears,a sad lying bastard,twat and pathetic. Try reading the comments again..Think you'll find yours are the only negative ones...(cont...)

[ianbastard2000]

Well...Did you check? Out of 12, you're the only negative,picking holes in 1 note. Then splitting hairs with me over shark tooth frets, or is it shark tooth inlays in the frets. BTW, have you got a Ricky, or may be any tallent? Or do you just like being a sad bastard with nothing better to do than be the only, sad,abusive tosser on what is otherwise a well received, well played vid. Go piss on some other cunt mate cos your opinions are quite frankly, wrong,boring,shite and unwelcome.

[grayk1211]

Look IB2K, we'll end this war you started now. I politely remarked that Daviex played Staring wrong. He got sensitive but agreed I was right! End of.. but no, you stuck an oar in and called me a tone deaf cunt! Not nice ! For the record I play bass for a living. I have played for 28 yrs and know whats right or wrong..esp with punk. I own 2 Rick 4003's and play these lines fluently as I have for many yrs. There, Ive replied without being abusive to try and end playground bad mouthing.

[ianbastard2000]

Fair enough.Sorry about the tone deaf cunt bit aswell. Bit childish I admit. But fuck me did you go into orbit over that with a torrent of abuse which fuelled it for everyone i think (well me) and got out of hand.Guess we'll bury all that shit then. All The Best..ianbastard2000. P.S. They're still also abreviated to and known as shark tooth frets to most. HaHaHa Tada.

[grayk1211]

Thanks for that IB. We all got a bit over "excited" and sweary there. Apologies to yourself and Daviex for the remarks I made. Its taught me to keep my trap shut.... unless its positive ! I'm pleased we put a grown up end to it. Cheers grayk1211

[daviex]

Jesus guys calm down!

g1211 you did get a bit personal there man for not much reason. IB thanks for your support! i'm sure you are both top guys and we all like the ruts, i hope you both have a good new year. ohh and ive been playin bass for 25 yrs, all that time and still one note out, ha ha hahahhha.

Peace, brothers!

p.s. the segs bit is true.

[daviex]

hi g1211,

i never said i wasnt a shit, read the profile!i change my mind alot! god, i'm a twat,my ears are fucked,juvenile and im a cunt, just what ive strived to be all my life, cheers keith, i hope you had a nice christmas man, i did, ha ha.

peace man!

dx.

[grayk1211]

Daviex and IB2K Happy New Year to you both fancy a pint sometime ? Think that might be a touch impractical. Good luck in your music careers though and keep at it ! Apologies again for some of those shite comments I made, it was out of order! Cheers Keith

[grayk1211]

You are wrong ! At the Never Surrender bit you go to the F and it should be back to the A.

[ianbastard2000]

you're a tone deaf cunt mate. How can you argue when its played along with the track and is note perfect. I bet you can't play fuck all including playing with your old fella, nob head

[grayk1211]

ianbastard2000. You should just have the user name "Fucking Thick Cunt" because thats what you are! You piece of Dog Shit ! This guy

has admitted he was wrong you ignorant fucking waste of oxygen ! Also,they arent shark tooth frets they are "Inlays" you braindead Cunt. Get your fucking facts right and get your ears sorted before slagging someone you CUNT !

[ianbastard2000]

Wow. How adult. I'm impressed. Ok, shark tooth 'inlays', in the fucking frets. Happy now cunts mouth. Any bassist that knows anything would know the abreviation ' shark tooth frets' rather than split hairs like a fucking festering boil like you. Me a waste of oxygen? You'd be a wast of good cancer. You fucking vermin.

[F3502000]

Great song, really nice bass!

[fraserburghpunks]

Hey DX ,THATS SOME NIFTY BASS PLAYIN MATE!!DID I PERCHANCE SEE GOLLY AND TEDDY SNEAKIN PAST IN THE BACKGROUND !!!!!!

[thenamesbondy]

Headless bass player! The Ruts had some great bass lines this was one of the best. Segs their bass player now plays with Alabama 3.

[daviex]

you really dont want to see my face! i'm off to see alabama 3 in a couple of weeks;-)

[thenamesbondy]

Ha! saw them about 2 years ago at Beautiful Days music festival down 'ere in Devon - they're pretty cool. Very ironic piss take of all things American.Well worth taking a look.

[daviex]

aye, very cool band,Alabama 3, this'll be my 4th time seeing them.

[VCK9009]

Whoa, nice scratchplate! Is it customised?

[daviex]

yeah, got it made by an engineering company.

[festerbass]

cool chops man
