Rush-Tom Sawyer 100% Bass Cover

[kc8ntp]

One of the few people that I have seen that can actually do the part during the drum solo where the bass matches the drums beat for beat! I have been playing this for over 20-years (and the bass for over 25-years), so I know it note for note; nice to see somebody know how the bass can connect with the drums. Geddy Lee is the master of syncing with the drummer... then it is up to us mortals to try to figure out how he did it!

[cwmahood1]

Thanks for the close ups. You are the only one on youtube playing the solo section right.

[codygx123]

[Niro1001]

Good..good...very good!!

[RubixTutorial01]

tune your bass

[ivanha1]

LOL this is a bass cover NOT AN FC OR 100% LMAO!

[Ignore14]

@ivanha1 haha i know, I read the title and I'm like what is this guitar hero?

[thetimbern]

Slappin' the bass man!

[Ironclaw666]

Dude, your dad is so cool!! :D

[paulie0706]

Nice cover. Has anyone ever told you you look a little like Les Claypool?

[MrIFlingPoo]

If Rush start doing backing tracks in their live gigs - tell them to forget it and get you instead. You could give most bass players a run for their money - I can tell your abilities extend past playing Rush covers but to be able to play Rush like that puts you up there. Take a bow, you're damn good.

[ventor11225]

Either you are a giant or that bass is just small as hell.

[ministrymember99]

What is the specific name of that Carvin?

I want one so bad, but I cant find the specific model anywhere...

[Pinstripedtie]

Dude... you need a better camera and mic! And I hate that headstock on that bass! Looks like a kids bass. But ion a positive note, I think you are a pretty good bass player. I am of 26 years and toured all over. I really think you would look better with a Stingray 5 string. You are too big for that tiny form factor. Peace anyway! =)

[mtnbkr6090]

effing GUIDO!!!!

[mtnbkr6090]

effing guido!! I dont even hear the bass!!

[MonteBusa]

nice bass work dude

[playdrums]

Nice playing and fucking BEAUTIFUL Carvin bass yer pops has!!!

[kyle892]

strings look pretty close together, not sure though, if so, i love 5 strings with the b close to the E. hate that look when a 5 string looks like 3 extra strings were added

[MajorManny]

Sweet bass!  Looks like a Kahler bridge?

I love that long headstock. Does it have any neck dive, or is it pretty well balanced?

[09Zaraalaxi]

Very pretty Carvin. I agree that the bass track needs boosted a bit though. Good cover otherwise.

[nascarbean]

nice carvin!

[jakenfriedlove]

really good cover

[lowfreq65]

are you the hippster?

[drupa99]

Record this again but boost the bass track slightly - hard to tell that this is a cover!

[thrasheads]

fk yeah bro

[ppizza81]

i wish i was as badass as you

[Shaglaki]

wow. seriously good cover.

beautiful bass too. nicely done.

[rush4ever1]

its not 100%

[Osric13th]

i agree with mitch...circumstances.

but playing another mans music will never make you famous....no matter how cool you look.

i liked the freddy mercury thing you have going on though. my gf's mom thought it was HOT.

[poolscloseddue2aids]

Wonderful cover

Can you tell what kind of bass that is?

[rusherman2112]

Yes it's a Carvin 5string. THE BEST bass I ever played.

Rusherman2112's Dad

[TheEuskon]

[cashmerestaten]

OMR0FL DRUMS IN TEH BACKGROUND!

[vanhalen021]

Why does your title say 100%? That's called a real instrument you shouldn't have a guitar hero title for a cover.

[scolii]

he is reffering to the acuracy of his transrciption

[rusherman2112]

@vanhalen021 ,,that is just my son who uploads the video's ,,,he was 12 then ,,14 now,,i'm 41.still jamming to rush,, but i play in a cover band Sideways in NJ

[vanhalen021]

@rusherman2112 ah ok understood. me and my buddies jam out some rush all the time. we just lost our bassist to school though. its surprisingly tough to find ones that love playing rush.

[olliemedsy]

@vanhalen021 fuck off

[vanhalen021]

@olliemedsy your cool

[rusherman2112]

Thats my little guy naming these, i just played & he posted the title etc,, he's 6ft 4 now ,, big kid!! That was 4 years ago,, i'll be doing some videos this weekend ,,YYZ,,LAVILLA, hopefully saturday

[sofuckingdumb]

not sure about 01:59 it sound like your playing just 3 notes, and the way I learned its 6 (all different)

All in all, you still play it better than I can. I'm still trying to get it 100% down.

[rusherman2112]

[ajbusk]

YES HE DOES!! HAHAHAHAHA

[eric29292]

lol looks more like the family guy one i think and the thing that makes it funnier is that in the family guy clip its playing the same song

[username125418]

for a 5 string the neck looks really thin,  is the string spacing close on this bass

[andybass23]

ROCKSTAR.

[wiicool13]

the bass looks tiny next to him...rofl

[bajondy]

tall man huh.

great cover and nice tone

[thethingwithcheese]

[sappet102]

3:33 was awesome too

[wiicool13]

tru dat

[sappet102]

3:20 was awesome

[bfntn]

Not sure of the model # but it is a Carvin. I've got a 15 year old DC-127 in the same color and finish and it's gorgeous.

[lowfreq65]

Is that a Ben Guido signature bass?

[EltirOdinhammer]

He`s playing like a guitar player would :D

He`s having fun anyway so 5 stars.

[idkmyusername86]

That's badass.

[lzrv12]

Holy crap that bass is awesome! What's the model???

[metallica2014]

its a carvin i think

[beastieboy1123]

that wuz a great cover and thats a killer bass dude

[AquaDonkey]

that guys has such shitty technique

[freakystyley4000]

Oh I don't know, he plays the 7/4 bit different to Geddy (and the way I learnt) but his pizzicato style is good and he plays to the CD in time... what's to critisize?

[backline112]

Dude, JPJ had what you'd call "shitty technique."

Please everyone, tell him how "shitty" is zeppelin's bassist.

[Grant117]

What bass is that.

[AquaDonkey]

its a Carvin, they are absolutely amazing

[Grant117]

Whats the exact model it looks sexy as hell.

[KissMeImPunk]

That is a fucking cool bass.

[mickmcginnis123]

[hoags13]

Awesome job

[Mowac]

Good job.

[twitch136]

[Drumbum2097]
