[jammingwithmarley]

Cool

[LisaLetters]

what kind of bass are u using in this video?? great sound!!



[arnoldjanzen]

nice sound man!

[congabill]

Great! Watched your video at least 20 times last night, if you do have a tab I would love to see it, thanks!

[MrHarrystank]

your bass sounds so fucking good

[lother121]

very good!

[satchelpooch01]

Good job here, and video/audio quality good also. The Zoom B2.1u is a versatile MFX unit, and the Zoom GFX 707 (for guitar) gives the bass better wild distortion and fuzz tones. The German-designed/South Korean-made Nobels belt guitar amp (about $30 USD) does the same better than their bass belt amp. Have you tried either of them? Cheers.

[garbeaj]

Nice job...I play a few things in different positions, but overall really nice interpretation. I have learned the instrumental "Red Eye" as well...It is alot of fun to play and I recommend you try that piece too:)

[Groovesback]

Well done man. Very smooth.

[tigermanxng]

[wheresthejam]

Nice.One the coolest bass-lines of the 80's.

[p1nzz]

Very nice job.I would have liked to hear your Bass a little louder in the mix as it sounds great and your playing is well worth hearing.Thanks for sharing.

[jennybuffy]

love the sound man!

[sebpayne]

Hey dude, how did you manage to get this deep tame tone form the SUB?

[Bassti71]

@sebpayne Hey seb. I use the Zoom B2.1u for a while now and with it I set the Eq and Amp modelling. I also used a simple compressor in Cubase after recording. ;-)

[bthomas14]

@Bassti71 hey man great cover but i was curious what preset number are you using on the B2.1u?

[GiantPandas]

Do you know what kind of strings and gauge Paul Denman uses by any chance?

[Bassti71]

@GiantPandas No, sorry :-)

[garbeaj]

@GiantPandas Rotosound Swing bass...gauges .040-.100...I just met him a week ago and he has been using these strings on his original Musicman Stingray since 1979...

[HeyDavidiii]

@GiantPandas Yep - Rotosound Swing Bass (.040–.100)

[rollongt]

I love song

5 stars

[boongg]

Sweet Stingray tone and nice playing.

[RomanAR87]

[ahilgaz]

[Lime950]

Great performance! Paul Denman would be proud! Can you send tabs?

[omko73]

cool !!

[rockindaddy9]

Very nice job and great sound. I've never played a Stingray, but I'm impressed with the sound. I'm trying to learn this for a new band I'm in and this was very helpful. Thanks!

[Bassti71]

Thank you. Be sure to check out my other covers, so that you hear different sounds :-)

[MathV8]

what effect did you use? chorus?

[Bassti71]

No Effects here. . . I just played it tight enough :-P

[MathV8]

thanks =)

i think there was a chorus on the solo

[Bassti71]

Yes, you're right. But I didn't want to use one, because you hear the chorus of the original recording while I play the solo. :-)

[Merkurio24]

smooth bassist!!! great sound!!

[constantine2112]

Great cover!

[561515]

[Cyril17280475]

I love, thank you very much.

Could you give me the bass part please ?

CONGRATULATION !!!!!!!!!

[BrooklinFunkProject]

Great Take on it! Check out my slap style for a different approach if your keen! Cheers.

[JofeAmoraw]

man, I think i account for 100 of those views in the last year or so. you did a fantastic job. i am trying to do this right now and i'm almost there. good job

[Bassists92]

did u use gadget on this song?

[Bassti71]

I only used my Zoom Pedal for recording and Eq-adjustment.

[Bassti71]

And I did some Amp-modeling, to get a little bit "smoothness" in my sound :)

[nedave01]

This one's good too, you played it very precisely, and smoothly.

Check out my version if you like, I didn't stick to the orginal groove that much though, I like to improvise a bit.

This one's a 5* again.

[daniela500]

perfect cover man!

[Bassists92]

this is good to my ears with your playing so pleasant!!

5/5

[sangolt88]

You should do "Paradise".

[PPJR88]

Very nice bass playing! :)

Think I'll use this one for learning the song for our next concert!

[calerbass]

very good +++

[mginsel]

Absoloutley grand, you own this song. Well done sir. Is your bass a stock Music Man?

[Bassti71]

Thank you.

My bass is a MusicMan S.U.B.

As long as I know, they discontinued building it...

However, it sounds great!

[lomey]

hey, phantastic playing and a great inspiration to learn this piece myself.

[AllieC]

love it!

[ajittffcure]

Brilliant cover! Well played. I loved the bass solos.

[Linus27]

Great playing. Very natural and fluid. This song is on my list to learn. Hope I play it as smooth as you. Keep up the great playing.

[beninjamin]

spot on!

[maxlazaro]

Ace!

[JofeAmoraw]

By far the best one on youtube. If only I have the discipline.

[grouchy]

[mellowmuppet]

[lgga]
