[gallespaul]

[caraculo22]

Exelent Job My Dude!

[gb34a]

Dance! :D:D

Great cover

[robotface74]

thanks for this video, im new to bass (im only a few months in) and i learned how to play this a bit better.

[Astrohman]

You're welcome - glad it helped. Welcome to bass playing!

[tholopainen91]

The sound you do at the acoustic break of the song at 4:10 comes from the chorus pedal?. Please tell because Im thinking on buying one. Really good performance by the way.

[Astrohman]

Yeah, I'm using various combinations of Chorus and Overdrive throughout the whole song. At 4:10 its just Chorus and I step on the Overdrive at about 4:40 or so (although I botched the hell out of that section, I've since learned a more correct way to play it).

I highly recommend a Chorus pedal if you don't have one - it comes in handy for all sorts of songs.

[tholopainen91]

Hey thanks for the information and the advice. Now I want to have it more than before. I really like the overdrive and chorus effects. The synth effect I heard its pretty sick too.

[tholopainen91]

That section sounded well though is not the way I play it. Thanks for the advice and the recomendation now I want to get it more than before. Im thinking of buying the chorus, the distortion and later the synth too that has some pretty sick sounds.

[guytp]

Hey just wondered which settings you have your chorus and OD on for it :) Both the Boss pedals?

[Astrohman]

I honestly don't remember.  I recorded this more than a year ago and these days I tend to use my Line 6 POD XTLive for most of my effects.

[xeverus]

Nice cover man. it's great that you learned this by ear. your interpretation is pretty close to the real bass tabs too. nevertheless, it still sounds great. keep up the good work!

[Siike92]

Line 6's POD sounds way too digital. It's for distortion freaks. Boss is the shit. BTW amazing cover did you learn it by ear?

[Astrohman]

Thanks and yeah, I learned it by ear (which is why my interpreatation is likely far from perfect!)

[santim1990]

Boss is the BEST, I play the bass guitar, and I use to play with a Distortion Boss Pedal, and Wha-Wha...

[ziofrenko]

Tony... m'hai fatto morire dalle risate! lol grande!

Astro, do you have only Boss stomp box?

[Astrohman]

When I shot this video I was just using Boss Overdrive and Chrous. I also have a Line 6 POD but I didn't use it on this.

[ziofrenko]

in my opinion Boss stom box are among the worst...

The POD instead is something rather remarkable!

[Astrohman]

Thats cool, we all have opinions on gear.

[Tonyx023]

fai veramente cagare

[prasiddha]

Nice distortion! Try covering King Crimson!

[Vapzz]

what kind of hartke amp and head are you using there?

[Astrohman]

Hartke 3500A with 2x10's and 1x15

[Priyesh0804]

great job... great song

[mflagg19]

great job. you know what would be awesome? a cover of Anesthetize

=D

[Astrohman]

Heh, I'm thinking about putting up some of Anesthetize; like the section from 6:00 to about 12:00.

[mflagg19]

thats awesome. im also a bassist, i may consider putting up some vids once i get a camera. anyway, later

[sthwatkins]

nice man, i noticed u have a geddy lee fender jazz bass.....im geussing u may be a rush fan as well? :)

Great song

[Astrohman]

Thanks for watching and yep, I'm a big Rush fan. I've got a few Rush videos up. It just wouldn't be right to have a Geddy Signature and NOT play a few Rush songs. :)

[nazarato]

pt rocks for sure
