Elvis Costello - This Year's Girl Bassline

[korgrandi]

Amazing tone you're getting out of your Rick. Of course the way you play the Ric has a lot to do with it.

Excellent job on the tune too.

[cerebral217]

Tu eres la leche!

[beddy2112]

Wow. Pretty fuckin impressive bro.

[doctorziller1]

Awesome...more Bruce Thomas videos!

[gorcanto]

Bruce carried McCartney's torch. Beautiful bassline.

[bobtonja]

You do a terrific job and you have some of the best equipment available !

[auggdogrules]

DUDE,YOU ARE GOOD...VERY GOOD,GREAT BASS LINE,YOU AND BRUCE RULE !

[leocosta20anos]

oooooooooo

i guess you've made it man!!!!!!!

[fabfourtune62]

Without Bruce Thomas...Elvis fell a few notches! Bruce and Graham Maby are why i play a P-bass! Good Job ! but lets not forget Pescott Niles, He also kicked some serious ass during that same era

[rob756]

this sends me into fits. you're shit hot mate.

anyone else think the outro bit is very beatlesque? the whole thing like, not just the bass, although that of course is particularly mccartney-esque

[theoswchamp]

awesome you're bass

[crapple009]

Is that a tan Heritage series Vox AC-30 in the background? Would love one of those, btw.

Great 4001v64, too!

Love Bruce Thomas- in my top 3 fave bassists. Many thanks- you nailed it!!!

[notaphaser]

Between Bruce Thomas & Graham Maby ,the possibilities of bass playing exploded in the late 70's

[RushTabConner]

Great job!

[Stax63]

Bruce Thomas!!!! Always been my fave! He rocks!

[artgonewrong]

That was AWESOME!

[kevhead66]

forgot to say great job on the song man!

[kevhead66]

if you think about it, Bruce Thomas was the lead guitar player of that band

[rankingrudegirl]

I think I just came...

[Towelietowel]

Awesome, gonna try to tab this out for myself. Might take awhile to get it right though, i'm still a novice.

[adebicki]

you're the best of all these cover vids. you're a sound genius too! great playing. i just subscribed to your profile. do you teach music? are these t-i strings and what type of amp is this? sorry for all the questions..

[fatmike109]

Very nice !

[fdeckard]

im in love with that sound.

[redrick2030]

Outstanding playing, incredible tone, classic Costello!!!

[Vaughnrush]

Oh god, that had have cost alot! i love rickys!

[wisesatyr72]

Best Rickenbacker collection and cover on youtube..yeah I like EC alot, thanks!

[smirkingghost]

Outstanding.

[dustin11]

What are you playing through?

Amazing tone, and great talent in all of your videos.

Thanks.

[NickTrousers]

Incredible!!! Keep up the great work man!!!

[melindaxDxD]

wow...

i gotta say very hot=)

[mikewattdisciple]

Very fine job! Nice playing. I wish more Youtubers would perform Bruce Thomas' lines.

[suburiboy]

that was great 5 stars

Bruce is probably one of m favorite bass players ever. you seriously should do a few more Elvis songs.

(the aforementioned song "party girl" would be awesome, or "watch your step", or if you are acquainted with the album"imperial bedroom": you might try "Shabby doll")

[pdmillar]

Damn that has about the best bass tone, it sounds just like Paul McCartney's

Using flatwounds? I just recorded Black & White World with the cheap Fender ones on my P bass (up on my channel)

[baltimucho]

That was awesome as hell, but why not use open scales? It may save you from tendonitis down the road! =)

[Galahad3000]

Holy smokes!  That was AMAZING!!

[jeepin99999]

Great job once again.

Cheers,

[feckneejit]

think i am going to have throw flats on my C64JG... great bass lines on those early attractions albums, pretty sure he played a P tho! either way sounds killer on the V63. think if i had to pick only one bass line from this year's model or armed forces it'd be party girl...

[325C58]

Bruce did play a P bass, but P basses don't fit my hands.

[feckneejit]

Fair enough! RICs are way more fun IMO anyway and you've got a Jazz for the Fender-y stuff. Love your gear but more importantly, your playing! Cheers!

[feckneejit]

Seriously, of all the punters doing this on YouTube, Daniel and yourself are many many cuts above... you guys friggin' nail it.

[Dejital]

Man, you are great. I hope you do some more Smiths :)

New subscriber. And I really dig that Rick

[hofnericon]

Nothing short of brilliant. One of the few who really understand the potential of a Rickenbacker!
