  • the best kind of bass line...

  • Btw, this video rocks...i enjoyed listening! a sort of greatest bass hits by 1 of my favorite 80s bass players ;-) the other one is David J (Bauhaus/Love & Rockets). I'll have many more lines by them to come (just 1 atm)...

  • hey guys, what the drum machine was used ? tks

  • @Leandrodk11 I programmed the backing track in cubase, the drums were a mix of toontracks EZ Drummer and Hallion player, synths were Hallion Player and Cubase's Mono synth.

  • What pedal should I go for to get this sound, rather than the original Clone theory? is there anything similar/cheaper?! I hear about the current Clone Theory model being a very different sounding pedal, so I'm not sure if I should go for that or something else. It doesn't need to sound EXACT, but I want that spidery gothy post punk sound for my bass.

  • @airmiami Any decent chorus pedal will do, the Boss super chorus is good. just get plenty of depth and a medium speed then tweak away, for a bit more bite put a distortion pedal before it, nothing too harsh, and your bottom end will be massive, if you like that kind of thing!

  • @JedStephens1968 I've heard the Small Clone for bass on youtube, and it sounds awful. Same with the Boss - or would it be better to use a guitar pedal rather than a bass one, to get that specific sound?

  • @airmiami the Boss pedal I used to use was a guitar one Super chorus CH-1, sounded OK but nothing like the old clone theory, in a mix I doubt most people would be able to tell the difference really, just us fussy b*stards;-)

  • @JedStephens1968 Ha, cheers! Ok, i'll give a Boss chorus a shot ...

  • Awesome

  • Great job. What effect do u use?

    

  • @Skartasss Ihave a line6 bass pod xt live, which I just use to add a bit of distortion and an 80's electroharmonix clone theory chorus pedal, which is the authentic Hooky sound.

  • Great job. What effect do u use?

  • nice job ! Need to wear that bass slung a bit lower though mate ;-p

  • do you know where can I get tab for that?

  • @bornin90s sorry mate, I just play by ear, you can see pretty clearly what I'm playing though.

  • @JedStephens1968 I never understand why people ask for tabs when they are being shown in video very clearly how to play something. And btw, thanks for making this video.

  • @w3bt3k

    haha... yah, tabs are kinda becoming unnecessary now. I always learned songs by ear, but in the 90s when tab pages were rampant, that was really the only way to show people how to play songs. But now days with video, this is the BEST way to learn, aside from having a private lesson. I always learned just from watching MTV videos anyway (when they showed them) & keeping my eyes glued to the guitar/bass players, if i could see them playing on a video or live performance!

  • @giguchan The black semi acoustic is made by Chriss Eccleshall, it's based on the Gibson 335 but with Yamaha pick ups and electrics, this is only used live, not in the studio, in the studio he uses a Yamaha bb1200, which is no longer made, which is what I think you may be thinking is the fender, have a look at the video for the perfect kiss, he also uses both live and in the studio a Shergold Marathon 6 six string bass, which was used on Blue Monday and many others.

    Hope that helps

  • and dont forget the rickenbacker!

  • @scatcam he only used a copy ricky and that was only for a few months, he soon moved onto the Yamaha.

  • Very nice!!! =D I have a band, sometimes we cover Joy Division. I have some videos if u want to see. But well i realy liked this medley

  • this is awesome, great tones spot on. Do you think you could cover blue monday bass line, I know its done with a 6 string bass but you have a lot of talent.

  • i like your curtains.

  • in the intro to 24 hours strum the D string as well as the high G notes and the rythem to S.L.C is not 100 %

  • Please listen 2 'shes lost control' 2nd part as you're playing the wrong octave.

    Also check out love will tear us apart.

    I am not writng this comment 2 be mean only to give some constructive criticism

  • Nice Hook mastery! I am quite impressed, as I have just begun a path that you have obviously been traveling for quite some time. Cheers!

  • what pedals are you using? chorus & flanger ?

  • First a line 6 bass pod XT live, which I just use for a bit of distortion, then Electro harmonix clone theory chorus pedal, the original 70's - 80'a model, not the new ones which are a bit "low calorie" if you get what I mean.

  • do they just not sound the same? I have a new one that I'm fairly happy with, but I've never used an original gangsta clone theory myself.

  • It's hard to describe the difference, you get people saying all kinds of things like more creamy, fat but still crisp all kinds of weird nonsense, the best thing to do is asses whether you are happy with what you hear, if so, what does it matter. in the mix i doubt anyone could tell the difference anyway.

  • Great stuff. If bernard needs a new bass player he has his man...

  • Nice one Jed! Rocking!!

  • Lovely tone, fellah!

  • Preaty good job man!

  • Not bad but Regret made me laugh, sorry

  • you're the best jed! - QL

  • i wish i could play as well as this and maybe my hearing is damaged after years of live gigs but isnt there something wrong with the strength of this guitar? or is it out of tune.

  • good stuff m8, i like it

  • could you send me a personal message by the way with the rest of the transmission tab? i can obviously play the first part its just thatbridge, where ever i look its different , would be really greatful if you could send it me :)

  • legend!!!!

  • Nice work, man!

  • Nice work!!! He's why I started playing (butchering) my bass.

  • the main thing is a chorus pedal, a boss super chorus is half way there, but the real thing is an 1970's electroharmonix clone theory, but they're getting harder to get hold of.

  • Thanks JedStephens1968 :)

  • I have a CloneTheory reissue, but it is very noiseless; and I prefer the little DanElectro Milkshake chorus wich is perfect and also cheap.

  • the re-issues are no where near as good as the originals, but they are noisy buggers, mine squeels like an orgasmic hamster

  • dude, that was great!!! loved it

  • really good

  • awesome job!

  • great video.

  • Sweet.

  • get a 4003

  • peter hook used a hondo rickenbacker knockoff with joy division

  • Great work on these. You just need to get your bass a little lower and you'll have Hooky to a T.
